PKer trade restrictions work-around

Default PKer trade restrictions work-around

So we're in chat discussing pking and all when it occurs to me there is a little work around to the trade restricing between pkers and non pkers. This is an "exploit" that very few even knowing about it would try I'd imagine but still an "exploit" nontheless.

Three characters, one the pker other two non pkers. (Now I am only using two non pkers instead of one because of not wanting to lose AT on main, it really could work with just one)

Main buys item, trades to non main. PKer kills non main and loots that item.

Yes, all three accounts are subscribed, yes I know it'd be "expensive" and like I said yes, I know not many will "abuse" this.

Whether or not this has been though about I just thought I'd throw it out there and see what your thoughts on it were.

You could have just given the item to the PKer before he became a PKer. But I suppose you're using this as a continual way to fund a PK character with nonPK players... I suppose it's sort of an exploit but it's a lot less convenient than the way two nonPKers can interact and fund each other so it's not something that's giving the PKer an advantage over a normal player in any way. They'll just lose more when they die. If I'm understanding correctly that is.

yeah PKers loose eevrything upon death so even if you did that way you could kill the PKer and gain massive income so wouldnt be an advisable tactic as there is unless you keep all the funds except equipment for PKer on another char

The bigger exploit that currently exists is a PK character killing a lot of nonPK's and taking some items, then he gets a level 5 sacrificial PK character and trades him all the items, then he takes his main nonPK and kills the sacrificial PK thus getting the items into the nonPK economy. But even that I may allow stay in the game, if you go through all that you probably deserve it.

well that would require a lot of work and it would be hard to survive that long for a non sacrificial PK'er

that would be easy just take your pk char , your main and the sacrafical (not turned pk yet) char out and meet up in one spot , sacrafical char force combat on which ever char use escape gem, trade items from your pker to teh sacrafial guy then kill it with the main, easy and quick the only work is leveling it to level 5 and that can be done in 2 days easy.

Edit: er force combat on the main to turn pk

Yeah, there are multiple ways that you could "exploit" the system and my goal here was pretty much two things.

1) point out some possible "exploits" incase they would be bannable offences. Some people might not thing of them as exploits (and rightly so if they're not) and attempt them. I would hate to see people get banned for trade "rules" not being clarified.

2) If I do end up making a pker I'm obviously going to want to give myself the biggest advantage to staying alive but at the same time do it in a "legal" manner.

I would know full well the risks I am taking going pk, especially if I'm looking to deck out said pker. I just think it would be needed for those who get serious about pking to know how they can "work the system" to get the best chance at survival and for those looking to possibly go pk know what they would and would not be able to do.

I think the best way for us pkers to really trade is to set up our own separate economy though. Im making a pk char that crafts and specialises in fletching since the bow is probably going to be the best way to go as a pker once we go post beta.
If we are to survive, we need to have our own trade/protection network going and work together rather than try to farm and hold out by ourselves. If you're interested in pk-ing post-beta and want the security of numbers (especially during that 1 hour after kills) and you want in on the pk trade market, drop me a pm either here, or ingame (bassically any character you see that starts with spartan________).
If you're too afraid to risk anything, dont even try.
