tbh tppk doesnt bother me, anything that reduces the competition on the ladder is good and yes i play in pubs. ive had numerous attempts on my characs from tppk and only the first one worked, once you know how its done you can avoid it, when someone spams an atatck and then you see a tp save + exit. tppk isnt that bad, in .09 it was easy to ignore the hostile timer for using wps (hosted to dead within 2 seconds if your near a wp), the cow portal was the most dangerous spot in the game, tppk could be done with ANY ranged attack no hax needed and as for the few hacks we see now i prefer them to the unbelivable godly kit we used to have to fight against (con rings, wiz rings, occy rings, bugged nos, bug tals, butchers helmets, **% dam red tals armor, ith weaponry....................etc) and the fact that 90% of people then had maphack and chicken hack compared to a lower figure now (i would guess no more than 50% of the people on realm now use hacks). experienced players can avoid being pked most of the time and that chance of dying adds excitement to the game for me, id hate to see d2 turn out like everquest, no pvp unless both people agree to duel, risk factor zero is just too dull for me, im sure other people feel differently but hey if its a pub game and you suspect someones gonna tppk you why not move nearer another player, hopefully they can eat those nasty missiles for you, passive pk ftw.
