It's pretty well known that compromising some "red" elements of a game and becoming more casual friendly greatly increases the likability of the game for them/ the retention of those players.
Let's be honest: most of us posting here will always play. Gotta make it appealing to the little guys. One bad experience and they could be gone. Let's not forget how many other games are out there the non no lifers could be playing. You gotta make it somewhat enjoyable for people.

I'm not disagreeing that some form of PNP is a good thing - I came from SZ, so I might be used to it, but based on the teams server feedback I understand that's not the atmosphere they want to promote here, and for good reason. I was never the type to corpse camp or pm racial slurs when I get killed, so it's not going to make my time here any worse. I'm more worried about not having a fraps to back myself up when someone else accuses me of something I didn't do. Not that I'm all that active in pvp - soloing in Bumfuck, Nowhere for 46 levels leaves you a bit light on the pvp.
I mainly have issues with the 'gray area' cases (see Andis' post above) being enforced so heavily, especially this soon after the new PNP was introduced. If you're going to maintain that there are undefinable cases, or too many to pre-define (see some of the hypotheticals being thrown around in this and other threads), they should be giving some leeway in those gray areas until people are used to the rules. Save the making of examples for cut-and-dry cases.
