Corruption: Does it / Should it Diminish While Logged Out?

Definitely against this. If you remove any and all amounts of corruption after some set amount of time - you're helping PKers with alts clean their alts w/o losing anything.

If you're setting some veeeery slow decay rate - it's meaningless for the absolute majority of people, and that guy that left the game for months would've returned to a literally whole different game (different nodes, different content, different guilds, different gear progression), so dying a few times to remove his corruption would be the least of his problems.

And if you want to have a quicker timer on that decay - you're helping PKers even more, which is kinda the opposite of what the system is supposed to do.

No, I mean that dying a few times after 3 months of not playing is not important.

Mmo always keep some way to endlessly progress. Or they at least prolong the process to its max.

Any normal PKer can just go kill some mobs or have their friends kill them. 3 months does nothing for them, because it's pointless to wait 3 months just to PK some more.

And it would completely ruin the corruption system. No reasonable person would do it and we'd see no non-event owpvp. That's shit and exactly what I'd want to avoid.

Why would people ever fight back if they know for sure that not doing so would mean removing that annoying attacker from the game for days?

This is exactly why I want the corruption balancing to be way laxer than what it seems to be. If victims know that not fighting back is endlessly more beneficial - they'll never fight back.

Again, why would he fight back when removing the PKer completely is way more beneficial.

Even if it's just few days of offline time - it's still much better than having an annoying attacker next to you.

And BHs should have enough time to get to the PKer's location and try killing them. That's the fun of the suggested system. "Errands" are just there to keep the PKer playing the game instead of literally not existing in it.
