Why do people buy and use Indictments?

This is the equivalent of a person raging and typing a slur at me. It makes me laugh and you spent souls to do it, and I know I made the person angry.

So the darkmoons get to play [by invading a 'sinner']. Sin should be automatic if the invader wins, like in DaS2, otherwise it's just a smaller pool of sinners. And the covenant's already broken! :O

Plus ever since at least PtDE, you only need 1, it doesn't get used up.

I've dropped indictments for new players to pick up so they can indict me and other invaders in areas they are not normally available. That way, we invaders can get indicted and get our score up on the leaderboards and get invaded by darkmoon blades in newbie areas. Not sure about your answer oats, I don't how they are rage tools, it's a mechanic of the game.

I'm not sure it will be a punishment for the invader, but at least some darkmoon will be able to invade someone. They are already sitting without work, think about their children

[Old Captain Yon]

It is to keep darkmoon PvP at least half alive. Darkmoon bros wait for invasions a lot longer anyway. It is not offensive, it is in fact better for the game if you indict every invader.

You also can indict forest invaders and dragon duelists too, I think!

it's funny

Because higher Sin count prioritizes you for Darkmoons. Indictments add to sin count, so Blades are more likely to get summoned to deal with you.

It's less about you and more about helping the Darkmoons.

If you get indicted, or betray a covenant (not leave via bonfire, a hard betrayal), you get 1 point of sin and become eligible to be invaded by the Blades of the Darkmoon, having more points doesn't increase your invasion frequency, but every time you lose to a Blade of a Darkmoon invader you will lose 1 point of sin, so the less you have sinned, the less amount of times you need to lose to a Blade of the Darkmoon player before you're back in the clear. Absolution only makes docile NPCs you've made hostile back to being docile. it has no effect on the sin points you need to lose to Blade of the Darkmoon invasions.
