*shrug* I just find it cheap from the perspective as a player and staff. As a player I find it completely defeats the purpose of dying and instead just turns it into a mindless button mashing competition until you get bored. As staff it seems like the absolute worst kind of gameplay to provide players with and it devalues the statistics as you just sit in one spot for an hour+ spamming sword since as soon as you die touching anything puts you right back where you were to keep going until again, you get bored of smashing the sword key.
But that's just my opinion. Players hate it because it would make their kills++ harder to get.

I would much rather have them be out in the field then at MoD's door.
I can say that I've given up caring much about it, since it won't change at the moment. I wanted to compete on the leaderboard, but since it's 90% mob pkers who get thousands of kills in the time where I get 500, I have given up on that. My only hope for climbing is that they don't have the stamina.
Not that im calling anyone out, but I can tell who has mob pk'ed and who hasn't. The skill level difference you see between someone who has gotten 100k at towers or even just pking in the field out of the mobs and someone who has used mobs to get to 100k, the difference is profound. Some of them spar so it is harder to tell, but it is noticeable. Knowing where to move in specific towers comes with time spent, sparring can't teach you that.
Though not being on the leaderboard makes me pk for fun, which is how it should be.
Edit: thinking on it more, a possible solution would be an a board that takes kills - deaths and sends out the result that way. That would make being in a mob detrimental to your leaderboard spot.
One argument that I'll argue against(though no one has presented yet) "what about those who arrow into mobs? There ratio would be high"
Yes it would be, but there would be no point for making the mob in the first place(unless they were going for total kills).
Heck, maybe even display that on the profile instead. You could say "showkills" to see your pure kills, just like show deaths.
The only issue I see is those who gain deaths by Bking. Sparring you could just add the spar death total back, or just minus deaths by spar losses. Bking would have to either be addressed or ignored.
Though people would complain about their total kills dropping.
