Game Mechanics: Circumvent(sp) the level range for PvP

There is a MAJOR flaw in the coding right now that involves players level 14+ being able to gank level 2 players. I use this as an example, because in essence with this bug you can be whatever level you want and PvP whoever you want.

So how do this work? It's simple really.

Buff the person. Simple. Give them any buff you want and the person will be con in your range so you can now gank them quite easily. What's even more funny is that you can coin them. Let's say you're a level 2 mage who just sold some stuff and you have money on you. You then leave to go to the bank where you see a level 50 necromanacer. Huh. Wierd, no worries though he is level 50. The necro buffs you with resist cold and now you are suddenly in his range. The 50 slaughters you, coins you, then banks. And there's NOTHING you can do about it. I mean yeah of course you can fight back but.... come on, seriously?

This needs to be fixxed because as it stands now the server is FFA PvP and people are exploiting the shit out of this.

Also you can just give someone 1cp. Opening trade with someone activates your ability to kill someone and it doesnt even give you the "252-156456 can attack you now" message

apparently porting someone now engages PVP too?

Just cast Evac EK and my PVP range expanded

i have tried all these things and it does not seem to work unless you are the lower level person.

I don't think you idiots understand how the system works. As a 44 necro I cannot resist buff someone and then attack them. I can't even heal them then attack them. If I heal them I have to wait for them to attack me - then I can kill them.

I tested this by healing my lowbie warrior in crushbone. I healed my warrior through the noob groups damage and while my necro "flagged" for their level range I could not hit them. Once the group noticed they couldn't kill my warrior they targeted my necro. Each person that attacked my necro was killed. Those that didn't attack were still protected.

The system is simple. Stop and take a few seconds to think about how it works.
