i can quite agree with people like laergon and warchicken - i have seen people like Jordi, Morph, Dern oh and countless others since i have been here killing people far weaker than themselves with a pitiful excuse or none at all.
I am sick of hearing people say oh i killed them because they insulted me - so what?! The older players are meant to be representitives of the land not just bloodthirsty non roleplaying pkillers, and that is unfortunately the attitude i see around me all the time.
If you are an older player, what do insults matter - is it really a reason for killing someone, why can you not just rise above it?
I have attempted to teach my guild that such actions are wrong, there is no excuse they are just wrong - however, with the very new members being killed over and over for "joining the wrong guild" and other such pathetic excuses this is a very hard, if not impossible ideal to keep up.
To all those who have this pretense of a philosophy "if you can't take the heat..." I say rethink it! Not everyone wishes to be a killer, people wish to have different roles throughout life and just because there is no system to stop you persecuting them does not mean you should.
