Team killing policy - follow up thread

Another TK related thread:

Team Killers!

So have had a few match’s lately were you have a ahole in it who tries to kill me because I got a kill over him and I do what I can to avoid the player but he doesn’t stop and I shot him down well now I get Penalized because I didn’t let him ruin my game play. So now I get a 53k Sl hit for his repair how the heck is this far to me, I guess I should have let him shoot me down??? Someone explain this Broken BS, Think its time Gijain starts banning people for the offense look at the recording …

ive been TKed because we were chasing the same guy and he said i was “kill stealing”

Maybe TKs should be listed as a stat, both in the match leader boards and on ones profile, as a permanent record. I bet that would both deter some would-be TKers as well as alert others of “bad faith” players.

Have in mind that a lot of guys will punish kill stealers. You find some explanations and underlying motivations in this post.

But “kill stealing” has also economic consequences:

• Killing a wingtip of an enemy often reward you (you is just for explanatory purposes) with just a hit / critical hit and result that your target is then flat spinning.

• In order to avoid a collision you have to break off - and the guys behind you shooting on them will get a free kill and you just an assist.

• So you “steal” SL/RP income from the first guy (as assists give just 60%) and (if he is stat driven) damage his ego. Both is not really recommended.

• This got better due to the severe damage mechanic, as kill numbers are now inflated, but in cases like mentioned above it is not unusual that the first guy not even gets an assist - if #2 behind scores a severe damage and #3 behind finishes off your target you might get nothing.

So this risk flies always with you…

Imho this would be nice to see.

But we have way too much SJW in wt - trying to play White Knights or Judge Dredd. So from my pov this will lead to even more TKs in Air RB.

But - with a counter resetting to 0 after 4 weeks (without further TKs) i would actually support this idea.
