A New way to PK?

[tayman]

Saw this post on the official forums...lol. I seem to find the gems at night when the admins are sleep (before they get deleted)

As a TK that charges in the front line, I've experience many kind of death from players and computers.
However, non of those had make me feel so awful compare to the one that happened to me yesterday.

A party attack my party in the catacomb, ok, that's fine, it's a PVP server so we fought back. Nontheless, my party died off fast and that left me standing.

All of a sudden, I was offer a trade, so my charater action stopped. I Cancel it, and was offer it again. Meanwhile, I was still been pounded by the other party. I tried to use the hotkeys, but they won't respond when I was in the "Do you want to trade?" mode. I felt terrible after that, I know it's a stratege but the feeling of can't do anything still bugs me.

Anyway, after we got owned, we went to the arena to test out this /trade PK.
1. When you are in waiting or in trade, your hot key won't respond. However, you can click on the skills inside your Status box to activate them.
2. To make a player completely useless, just add /trade in the hot key, and offer opponent.
3. (This one we test it on bots) To test if it's a bot, keep offering /trade, and if they can still use skills very smooth and not talk back, they are bots.
4. You can still move and atk while with the mouse courser while you are experiencing the /trade.
5. This method is very effective to PK without going red when you have more than 1 players on your side.

I did message GM about this, but their response was...
"we'll look into the matter"...
That is why I brought this topic to this board, because /trade is a part of the game, so it is fine to use it and it would be consider a stratege part of the game.
However, compare to the "Paralyze" skill that Necromancer/Overlord have, this /trade basically destoryes the balance of the game in my opinion.
I am fine with Necromancer/Overlord have paralyze skill, since it's built in. But when a healer paralyze me with /trade...I just feel like to sware.

Anyway, leave your comment, I think they need to fix this /trade problem, but I highly doubt it.

PS: I also want to ask the bored GM, since /trade PK is a flaw in design, so is it legal to use it?

Either way, gms banned for that in the past. THey should ban for it now.
