Will losing fame to those ranked beneath you incur a greater fame loss, as it used to (or as many believed it used ot be)?
By nature of higher ranks being worth more points than lower ranks, you will lose more fame if you die at a higher rank. But, it won't matter whether you die to an Overlord or die to a Hunter. Because the new system divides your points by the number of people that engaged you, we don't want to change the numbers based on rank. Its much less accurate and prone to exploitation if we have an algorithm try to determine what rank killed you when you were enaged by a group of people.
Your points will simply be divided among the group as if they all helped out equally. If someone in the group isn't pulling their weight and leeching the points, it would be beneficial to the group to drop that player. This is the same concept when grouping with people to run dungeons. If someone isn't helping out, you should get him in line or drop him from the group because you are sharing the rewards with him.
If you feel you can be successful out hunting on your own, the rewards will be greater, but the risk is also greater.
