Get rid of PNP rules

[Nothxu]

I agree with this. I have heard people in the recent past say they aren't even going to bother with pvp for now because they don't like needing to worry about whether or not they could get banned. Some have either not started on the server, or stopped playing altogether.

I would be in favor of getting rid of the play nice policy, but leaving GMs with the authority to suspend / ban for extreme circumstances. It is just like having referees in a football game / basketball game. It is extremely frustrating for players when the referees take control of the game, instead of letting the game play out as it should. This is a pvp server and the current rules make pvp less enjoyable. They also create many opportunities to abuse the system, or require people to constantly "tell" on each other, or run fraps 24/7, or rule lawyer. I know the GMs cannot be enjoying their hundreds of petitions, and I would like to think the people petitioning don't like it either. Besides the people that just want to grief the server (Slathar, etc), is that really fun for anyone? What is more fun, killing your enemy on the battlefield or getting them banned for some silly reason?

I have heard that you are allowed one free kill at someone's bind spot if you were not involved in killing them. However, if you see that person naked going to retrieve their corpse (maybe one zone away from where they died), you aren't allowed to kill them because they are on a corpse run. This is just one example of how the rules are not clear, and people are just avoiding pvp altogether because it's not worth the risk.

TLDR: Remove the play nice rules, but leave in the authority for GMs to suspend / ban on extreme circumstances. These should be extreme! Mass corpse camping / blatant training of a raid, etc.
