Right now they seem to be poisoning weapons and armor, which then poison the ghost as it picks it up.

This results in a double kill.

By design?

EDITED to add:

If this is by design...is this worthwhile?

I consider it griefing and believe you should be rotd'd for it.

having said that, you could hire a merc and get them to pick up stuff.

For example, there's no haste potion, thief was revamped, edges have come out, and you now get your eq back when your corpse decays.

I think CF in the last decade had gotten a lot newbierfriendly while retaining its depth and competitive nature.

Ultimately, do we want people sitting around for 50 hours from poison when they just already died? If I were a true newbie, I would give up at that point. Maybe the issue is really that some poisons can't be healed.
