    Its not a hassle, just have to be smart about it. If you want to be blood red either bind, use dolls which you need to find a way to make money for or us SL. If you use SL you need to be aware that you might drop mirages and if you bind, unless you have all of the gear you need, you might need to refarm if your interested in getting the higher level gear. If you pvp at lvl 100 and have all of your HH99 gear, you have the bonus of having your gear auto bound...except for cape and helm unless you get the gold helms.
    nothing smart about that its just common sense.... and a extra task ._.

    I guess its the same concept as driving. Some pple LOVE the freedom of driving. I have no interest cause I like to be chauffeured/driven.

    And pking doesn't mean killing all the white names. You can attack flagged names or red names. That way you dont go red and wont have the risk of dropping items. The only color you become is the pink/light purple color and you have a very slim chance of dropping inventory items and it goes away before you go rebuff.

    Like I said before, pking has really decreased. You can be afk out of safe for an hour and not die. Even in Kami, where we have Spec and ThaClick killing us, people can stay outside safe and not be killed for an extended period of time. With BH's and Hypers in Frost, grinding/quest spots are empty so you can play without being hassled. And if you do get pked while grinding, its really rare. Dying isnt a big deal..you dont lose exp..maybe at the most it will be buffs.
    truuueeee.... >.<

    To me there is no point in a PVP server, if i wanted to PVP i will turn it on and face ppl who want to pvp. I dont see much joy in killing someone while they are doing their own business. Also, its not really worth it anymore between safety lock and Guardian Angels there is no risk. Why PVP when the majority of higher lvl players are either in SL , have GA's or are bound? If there was a legitimate risk of loosing gear then sure but the way it is now I see no point. Maybe if things like the Arena/Martial arts tournmanet were active I may consider it as you would find more seasoned ppl to go against. Maybe if there was pvp gear or rewards. But none of these exist. Basically the difference is this : PVP servers : Ganking is turned on at 30 /PVE: you choose when to fight.

    Almost two years ago, my sister joined Lost City, unaware that it was pvp (or what it meant). When she was a little over 30, a player said to her: "please kill me I need it (to be killed) for a quest", so my sister obliged, changed colour, following pk was hectic, she just quit and joined HT.

    As for me, I don't like pk for the sake of pk alone, but instances like TW and Dragon Cave (on Tuesday nights) are a different story :)

    I understand the point with the drops, its always fun to see a peice of gear fall. But a lot of the fun is the fight itself...1 shots aren't fun, if you're doing the 1 shotting or getting 1 shot imo. And saying again, people dont gank lvl 30's anymore....very rare.

    About the thing with your sister, she probably didnt know this but if the person who needed to be killed(I think it was for the culti) attacked her once, they would have turned pink/purple and then she could have killed them without turning red herself.
