Yep, if ktats tells me person A distributed the list, I am reasonably confident it'll be a lie.

Iirc twist revealed that you got ep for pk count within defined ranges. At that point, people wanted to max out the points for each range. To do so, they choose to level sit (I plead guilty) and whack newbs to boost the count (partially guilty, as the were men's I killed more then once albeit not close in time).

Then equally the botters got a list from an insider and used it to try to effectively give themselves free edge points on every character. Now I do get that exploring with every character had unfun parts to it, but it's not really that different to spamming up a skill. Repetitive, but at the same time rewarding as long as you keep the time spent on it down to reasonable levels.

But fundamentally the edge nuking is down to imms who believed that characters should only be able to get a handful of edges. You could only achieve that by nuking edge points or the equivalent.
