Hey all, I am trying to compile a list of all the possible "zero risk" situations in which someone can be rewarded for PvP.  I've had a fairly long day, so only two at mind, but I figured compiling the two current threads into this one and possibly adding more situations to it would probably be for the best.#1PvP death-zerging      -results in zero risk because you are currently on the other person's recent list but not vice versa, so you can gain from their death#2Remaining below 50% health and engaging     -results in zero risk because of inability to gain credit for killing someone who remains below 50% health the entire battle.If anyone knows any other zero-risk situations, please post them so we compile them.

<p>You need to add Safehousing on top of yourself. I really hate that one and wish they would take safehouse out of the game completely</p>

Safehouse cast pre-combat doesn't put you in pvpcombat apparently. Should be fixed.

Choker and safe-house are exploits in my eyes. They are used to create what you described as a no-risk fight. Pretty soon I am going to make a thread with the names of known explioters, because reporting them is boring.

Do it on another board :)

Simple.  Change it from 50% to 20% immunity for fame loss, updates, and coin drop.  Safehouse stops being an issue, so does the choker, because it's then a guaranteed loss.

Using that amulet thing to break mez on yourself.Although now being able to use potions it shouldn't be an issue any longer.
