Question about rules

[Zaark]

Hello Glitchless, here a little something I don't really understand and would like your input on if possible.

Some toon were banned due to arena ''setup'', you then changed the system so it cant be done. (I'm fine with that and I'm not here to discuss those bans).

However, almost everyone in S2 is now a pk so they can level 3 times faster.
Almost all of those pk/redeem are setups, people even ask in civil offering gold to people who force on them...

I mean, if its a bannable offense to setup in arena to gain 20 ratings, why is it allowed for people to abuse the pk system and gain 3x more xp/trophy?

Like I say, I'd just like some words from you to help me understand.

Thanks a lot.
Zaark.

being a pker runs the risk of being permanently killed, which iirc is the downside of it all

Arena has a rewards system with absolutely zero down side. Pk system has no upside other than faster xp gains, but HUGE down side with permadeath. Comparing the two pvp systems is not apples to apples.

In this case to me at least is not like apple >.> maybe a prune

Still, Glitch has been working for years to cut down on setups and increase actual PKing but there just doesn't seem to be a good solution without completely getting rid of PK bonuses.
