The entire time week that I played on Facebook Classic, I just PK'd at towers. I was #1 on the daily kills board every day. The point of PKing is to get kills. If they run and kill themselves to deny you kills they are just going to lose the tower, anyway.

They won't lose a tower when it's just one pker, and they are denying any kill towards that one person.

They still get a death for dying.

Deaths that don't really matter.

Yeah, but some people get super mad. I used to do this so much that the whole guild would start blocking the exits at sards, castle, and snow.
At castle, I would use the pots to heal. Then they added ap. I would spam bombs to heal, then they added bomb drops.

I come from the 2010 zone pkrs, everyone there was a healer(including me) and we would make many people rage. I remember 2 guys spent like a week chasing me around trying to get a kill from me. When one of them finally killed me they were relieved and stop going to the zone. What most people don't understand is that the reason people used to do that was to make people rage and not because they didn't want to get a death.

Anybody that has raged in-game knows that when you rage you become an easier player to beat.

Back to my point. It discourages people from pking at the tower, if the defenders keep on killing each other, while you keep getting them to 0.5. It certainly makes me want to not pk. I think that's what op is saying as well. It's annoying, and just ruins the game for a lot. Easier to just spam sword in mobs, and MoD.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I've never been discouraged by runners/suicides. If players are going to get discourage over a silly thing such as runners then they shouldn't pk towers(MoD doesn't count).

Can confirm, 98% of all ragers I've seen suck.  

What if team killing or killing yourself spawned/warped you outside of the tower? It could possibly discourage players from doing it more often (a tiny bit) since it wouldn't be as beneficial to them for doing it like it is now.  

Zeroos is pretty good tho

That was what basically stopped me from saying 100  

People were running their strategies, so I decided to start recording.

Total Suicides in 1 hour at Sards: 19 (Didn't count the team kills, and the deaths that I wasn't there to witness)
Note: It isn't always that low. Just letting people know that it happens, and sometimes guilds as a whole will run away and deny any kill.

lol dont tower. if u wanna pk, go to swamp pond.  

Good strat to annoy pkers to get them to rage and stop pking  

You must understand pkers don't get aggravated. They will continue to feast until their goal is met.

Yeah, a true pker hardly even notices when someone suicides because they aren't focusing on certain individuals, but on the area as a whole. If it bothers or angers you when someone runs away, then suiciding isn't the biggest problem here.

Besides Sards no tower is that bad for SD's. I pked Illusive at mod today, and the only one actively suiciding was Kevin(jolly kevin, not kevin91). David suicided against me, but I still got kills against him by being agressive when he would run(not that he even ran every time, sometimes he would come after me). Did I get every kill? No. But instead of getting angry that he suicided, I would pk that much harder because I knew their best defender was "on the bench" so to speak.

Bryan pretty much stated it perfectly. We don't care, we just keep going.
