Unenforceable, requires running Fraps 24/7, will result in 1% getting punished while 99% get away with it. Any rule which lends itself to such a result should not be a rule. Also, mobs are part of PVP, learn to not engage while PVP may be incoming, learn how to invis / sidestep mobs, go out and proactively engage potential griefers before they can grief you and kill them, etc. etc.

Just want to bring to your attention the two points that seem to void each other out...

"Intentionally causing experience (or a PvE) death to a player, or utilizing and/or manipulating NPCs/Mobs to cause intentional damage and/or death to a player is AGAINST the rules"

and

"Also, mobs are part of PVP, learn to not engage while PVP may be incoming"

I can see where this would create confusion. You say you can't use an NPC for PVP but then say that NPC's are part of PVP. I am assuming you were more concerned about training which you seemed to cover pretty well in another section.

I would recommend revising this section so the true intent of it is clearly understood. Thanks
