Wanted flag doesn't stop you from pking anything, it just means you can't pk and then also have the protection and benefits of the city when you want to. I do wish there were more merchants who didn't care about it for people who aren't in outtie.

I was playing a frequently wanted lowbie when flyto provost guards (Pissudin) were a thing, it was #### but that's about the extent of my grievance with trib, and that's no longer possible iirc.

To the extent that it gives players who like it a LOT of buffer before you can do damage to them, so what? Chances are if they don't have that they'll just log out or not play altogether, you can still get to them, and they still can't log too quickly if you hit their outer/guildguard. If I were going to complain about any cabal on this front, it'd be Herald. Hell, I'd #### on outtie for this before trib.
