DAMN IT! I go away for a week and look at all the fun I miss.. On a positive note, looks like i can still make "the end of days".. gawd its now been at least 8 days of planning... seems way more work then @Earsnot 30 minutes for 10days of count burning.
I dont see the big deal of giving a pk free counts honestly. The only thing that was accomplished by doing this was a leader board bump for killing innocents. It was a clever maneuver to deal counts out quickly and entertaining to see it in story format including the thought process / screenshots. With that being said, giving a pk counts but not killing him doesnt really accomplish a whole bunch
Because they take great care to manage their counts through AFK macroing so that they don't ever hit statloss (side effect of 3 accounts and plat system providing an incentive to afk), and doing this puts them into stat, which potentially keeps them away from killing players for a few days. Also it's funny.
