There is a plan for a PK Bonus to be available in one of the Stages, purely for variety of play and to include all kinds of hunting in some small way. We've moved away more and more from PvP mobs due to many comments and complaints about their inclusion; some mobs are of course found in pvp areas but the trend has been to avoid those that are exclusively found in danger zones, especially lootable ones, unless the moblist just won't work without them.
But the same people who complained before, do not worry.
There will still be very few PvP mobs on moblists.
The proposed
bonus would be for locating and killing an impartial, armed and crafty 'Target' (a judge or similar) who will be driving or running around in radar-free pvp.
It would work like this; The match starts as normal, say at 16:00. One hour in, both Main teams are given a rough co-ordinate for the target in team chat at once. First one to reach, find and kill the target gets the bonus for their team. Whether they choose to kill each other on the way there is up to them. You could even choose not to bother. If not found for one hour (unlikely) the Target leaves the area. If killed, the Target tells the match judges who did it and points are awarded if that person is a valid Main Team member for that match.
The idea is that it's a 'send your best guy, possibly two, for five minutes of distraction that will possibly reward the team' kinda thing. Only Main Team can score on the Target. All evidence points to a comprehensive majority of Pk'ers being the kind of players who might find themselves on Main Teams, and most pk objectors are found in Support. That said, if I get requests for it, Support can go Judge-hunting next year maybe.
It seems the fairest way to ease in a bit of PvP to keep the Pk'ers happy; before anyone objects to this notion, remember, they are players and investors just like anyone, they're just a little more bloodthirsty
The way I see it, the closest guy to the given co-ords has as much chance to bag the bonus as the uber-pk demon with the tango and the rest. The target will be distinctly mid-range compared to many Main Team players. It won't be a huge bonus, probably 20 or 25 points, just a bit of fun in a later stage (possibly the last match of Stage 4). Everyone should get a chance to show off in the WoF
