Is intentional "Team Killing" against the rules?

[󠀡]

If it's not, it should be. If you disagree, feel free to make an argument.

If it is, then good but why are people saying it's fair play?

Apparently Ironmace thinks it's a cool part of the game and that you can get punished by having bad karma and a red name, except it does barely anything and no one gives af about the red name. One of several brain dead ideas they have for the game.

It probably sounds better on paper to have the freedom to gank a team mate you aren't getting along with. But Koreans also don't play the same way we do, so Ironmace views it through a different lens im sure.

Ultimately, you can't loot a fallen team mate successfully without goblin merchant reclaiming his stuff. So the only benefit is.... last minute backstabbing after a boss kill, or killing a team mate for an opposing team (which IS against the rules).

So, yea. It's a feature that probably makes more sense in a gaming culture that functions differently than the one we're used to. And it could probably work here too, if consequences were a bit more fleshed out.
