KS Question...

[Eru]

Okay, so we all hate KSers, but I ran across a situation the other night that I thought was interesting.

Usually when someone KSes me I'll say something like "don't KS pls!" At lower levels like 1x-low 2x, I would have to explain what KS meant about a third of the time (and I'm only lvl 32, so not exactly high).

Sometimes I've even asked ppl in my own pty to not KS others, and have even quit pty's that don't stop KSing others.

I've also read a couple times on the forums about how annoyed ppl get when someone asks to pty you and if/when you refuse they KS your mob. I have also experienced this.

However...

The other night I duo-ed with someone who was questing for Piggy Bats in Moonlight Tomb. I think there are only 3 or 4 on the map and they have a lower re-spawn rate. She KSed one, and I asked her not to KS other players. She responded by saying she invited the other person to the pty, and only KSed after he refused. I said something like "that doesn't make KSing ok" and she responded with something like "Its ok for rare/low-spawn monsters, and players should accept pty on them or expect to be KSed".

My first instinct was that this was still intrinsically wrong, but the more I thought about it, the more I could see her point.

So anyhow, my mind is not made up and I was hoping to start a discussion and read what everyone thought about this "special situation" KSing...

Thanks!
