#89993, "The Hate For Lowbie Killers Is Unwarranted"


          

I had 2 lowbie evils, one got pked once by him, one got steamrolled twice in a row ranking by him (Uthric, Maldaris). Dare I complain? I'd be a huge hypocrite to complain considering that I'd done the exact same thing with Humbert.

Sure, most of his enemies he can steamroll. But that does not make him a worthless character. If he meets a strong character, he still fights, just as I did with Humbert. It is just that 95% of his range were easy pickings, so too bad for the easy pickings. Just run or die. It's not fun, but if you were me with a sweet set would you stop, break role and tell the evil bastard ranking on elves that you'll spare him because it will be too easy to kill him? Mind you all my equipment was legitly earned by killing challenging, decked evil characters - I refused to use prayer beads Hiajist gave me because I knew it would be too easy, and heaven only knows what the crying on Dio's would be like. I am sure Ilrek earned all of his #### fair and square too - I know, because I fought him at level 17 with Uthric and we were quite even. He only got strong after many many PKs and slowly accumulating gear.

I get a lot of hate for doing lowbie PK, seriously. My recent Paladin Calderic got loads of complaints too (17-3 pk record on a level 24 human paladin 2h) but I never treated enemies badly, and never looted anything I didn't need. Even left the coins often just out of pity. If I (I'm not skilled, really) can do it with a PALADIN which is notoriously bad at sealing kills, you can too. And Ilrek did it with a strong class, but definitely not an unkillable class. And he ranked into the upper 40s with more bravery than most people do (they powerlevel straight from 41 to 51, the smart thing to do).

Finally to quote Daevryn: The game does not begin at 51. It begins the moment you hit 11. Sack up and fight back - two pincering fire giants with dual lightning axes will demolish him as fast as he kills an unprepped lowbie mage.
