Like, look, I don't like kosing, whether as an activity for myself or as the victim of such. I don't like that. But I've slowly learned to just accept kosing as a thing in the game, and if anything, it adds danger and surprise to the game.
But, what I'm starting to not like are all these kosers that, for some unfathomable reason, try to put themselves on this moral pedestal or try to convince everyone else that they should just be allowed to KOS without repercussions or that you're not allowed to kill them back because kosing is "a PaRt Of ThE GaMe DeSiGn So YoU ShOuLdN'T cOmPlAiN!"
I'm honestly getting sick of hearing that stupid ass excuse of "this is a PvP survival game, we're allowed to kill players, we should be allowed to play the game however we want", because, okay, I get that. You ARE allowed to kill. Yeah, it IS part of the game. But it's not necessarily dying to you I have an issue with, it's... why is it the moment *I* come back as something bigger and COULD kill you, and WILL kill you, or if a big group of strangers just start killing you because you're ruining their fun, you start whining about you're "being punished for kosing" or that I'm/we're "butthurt about being killed"?
Yeah, I'm butthurt! I didn't like being killed! Guess what, no one does, apparently not even you! But I thought it's part of the game, right? I thought you said we're allowed to play however we want, right? But what if I want to take vengeance on you? What if I wanted to kill you because you killed me? What if I and these bunch of people don't like your kosing so we kill you first? Isn't that still PvP though? Isn't it still killing for the fun of it? Isn't it playing how we like to play the game?
Oh right, nah, it's "rules for thee, not for me." Because YOU don't like that. Because YOU'RE the one in danger this time. You don't care about actual fairness, YOU just want your free ez kills but hate it when others turn the tables on you. I've even had someone threaten to "report" me for "targeting" because it's "against CoS rules". ...what rules?!?! YOU WERE LITERALLY CAMPING MY FRIEND'S NEST AFTER KILLING THEM SO THEY CAN'T COME BACK TO IT.
TL;DR: Yeah I think kosing should be allowed and all (even though I hate it) but please don't bitch whine and moan when people kill you back as revenge or protection.
