Hi again folks of Achaea
If it's true that the night brings counsel, I had a delicious sleep and I think I've found a solution for the problem that in this moment is stealing my thoughts.
Oh, a note about Usteir: I thought too "why I have to spend my time and energies in bothering someone when I can use the same time and energies in doing something good for myself?"
You were right Usteir, I have better things to do, and you don't deserve a millisecond of my attention.

Second point: Player Killing
Now, imgine the situation: you are a young churcies, you don't buy credits simply because in rl you can't, someone tells you "hei, go to the rock, there you can bash and gain", so you, full of hope start your journey, pass throught North of Thera and Oh surprise! what happened? You are ambushud by someone like infernals or occultists just because 1) you are a priest or a paladin 2) they don't want you near their city (Asthan)
The guy (who has not yet the profiencies to harm someone 'cause he's getting started) ask himself "Why I died? I was only passing trought, I was ambushed by invisible people who attacked be just because I was weaker then them, so I would not be a problem to kill"
Don't worry, it's not a post against infernals or occultist. We sentinels have our own problems too, so the druids, so the elementalist of all alignement, so the monks.
Simply PK is allowed, so if someone is killed without reason or provocation the reply is "Well, it's a risk of this cruel world, you are in a guild who is an enemy of my guild, so I kill you even if never said me a word."
Needless to say, this is referred of my assassin of yesterday by Usteir, and yes, I call it an assassin 'cause I was simply enable to defend myself. An so easy prey. I am not a warrior, I have no triggers for all the infinite attacks every class in Achaea can do simply because I am not interested in fighting other chars.
I play for other reasons, and they are no one's business.
But I am sure that I am not here to fight.
So, what is the problem? The problem is that now I am in Grace, but Usteir swears me that she will keep on killing me everytime I will reject grace.
Possible solutions:
1) don't reject grace: ok, I will die by starvation 'cause I can't rat anymore.... such an heroic death...
2) reject grace and pray Usteir (or who like her) is not around
Bah, this is no funny at all, I have enough stress in rl for thinking that sooner or later someone who maybe I don't even know will ambush and kill me.
By te way, I talked of this to Tarah too, and She suggested me a negotiation, we sents will stop to attack and so our assassins will stop too the war. I don't think this could happens, first because I can't make up decisions for my guild, second because I am sure that people like Usteir won't honour the negotiaon, it's simply in their nature, they enjoy to kill and it's their favourite hobby.
So, what is the solution? Well, we have a status of Divine Grace who protect us from any harm
good, let's create an other status who protect us from PK.
I don't play to kill, and I am not interested at all in wasting my lessons in offensive skills and wandering with the paranoic thought that someone is watching me and sooner or later will attack me.
The most of all the people who played here in Achaea are like that. But we keep on being killed just because we belong to some guild. Well, I reject this all, and don't tell me it's a part of the life 'cause it's an hypocrisy. The PK was too much abused, and I think it's arrived the moment that someone will say stop.
I can be see like a weak, a coward and a betrayer of my guild 'cause I don't pack to avenge the odds done. I reply that not everyone likes or are interested in fighting. I want to spend my life here regardeless don't thining who is my black book of people to kill.
I am asking You, Logos, it's so difficoult to bring this change? Simply to have an other status that shows who accept PK and who not? There are people who like this type of combat, and oh my, can I blame them? not at all, but what I am asking it's that it remain THEIR OWN problem. And not a public one.
I hope that this post will move something, because I am really tired to see people die just because they don't have the powers to defend theirselves.

Let's think about it please, everybody

Thanks for listening
