This is not pvp but gank. Secondly, killing you when you have little health after a fight with a mob makes no sense because they will give me few points. I kill with full health. For an assassin, this is farming abyss points. Lose your rank and you will no longer be interesting to people like me.
And about what you call cowardice, this is when a group of 6 people or an alliance attacks 1-2 people and prevents them from completing the quest under the fortress. much more cowardly behavior than when people like me kill you as part of a group and do it alone. Between zerg and solo gank, I'll give preference to solo.
Come on dude, stop telling your fairytales about you jumping heroic into a full group of people to kill the highrank. You don´t believe these fairytales yourselves and no one seeing you in action will believe it. I see your way every day while doing my daily quests and there is nothing heroic about it or what I would call close to pvp.
Thats the true way you do it:
1. Fully buff yourself in hide
2. Wait till the high rank target is seperated from other questers and groups
3. Wait till high rank target has mob aggro
4. Jump him from behind with all you got
5. Run and hide
6. Proceed with next target
This and no other way its day after day.
The pathetic thing in this story is not that you do it this antisocial and disgusting way, NC-Soft wanted to be this class like this so its ok. The pathetic thing about this story is, that you come here and whine that you don´t get enough ap for your antisocial and disgusting way. And THAT is REALLY pathetic.
