Personally, I kinda like these. I mean, yeah, Dulmisa becomes insane, or that AP/Lich even nastier, or I might swear about how overpowered that super-defiance-paladin is, but most of the time they're not getting it BECAUSE they're some super-pker, they're getting it because they're around forever, they've proven themselves to be cool, and the PK just came along with it.

Hence, I doubt it's really a make-or-break thing, and I'm probably going to get whooped by said character anyways, so it only increases my bragging if I manage to kill said person ;)
