1.really though the problem with this logic is that by adding 20 def levels you are adding more mains simply because thats raising the lpc combat,let alone the tomatos that accidentally get def levels because if they accidentally get 21, soon they'll push for 30, then its hpc all over again
2. then lets think hey that was 10 years ago like you said, back when making multiple pk accounts weren't as common considering most of us were young teens, possibly younger; so many didn't have the know how to generate 2-3 rank tanks to snipe also lacking the equipment to run what we could today
3. considering most of the scene is 1-4 def being the first clan pushing for higher def basically means you can't hang and think the handicap of def will help you but lets be honest, you know you are only doing it to recruit failed pures or use old maxed out hpc/mpc accounts, we have seen for ourselves what allowing def does
*cough* half the hpc came down to lpc lol
4. i don't care if doom really raises their def level tbh because it will most likely hurt them even more as it allows hpcs to hit them who are looking for some action <- how will you handle hpcs coming for you?
