Why the heck shouldn't I be able to attack someone who attacks me ?
The rules are very clear ... yes they are complicated, but they are very clear.
The chances are that a person 15 levels below you and managing to beat you in a duel is rare.I think you're missing the point that lower levels can beat higher levels due to a variety of factors including skills and gear worn during the duel.
I gathered that but not all L 40+ players think the same, sure okay you find a lower levelled guy with a tone of money and you decide to attack them, if the person was 15 levels below you then you wont gain a thing but you will most likely damage them a lot.Also I can assure you that under normal circumstances most L 40+ players do not go out of their way attacking people for very low XP - its not worth the energy loss to gain so few XP points when job XP is much higher.
If someone is carrying around a large sum of money then they deserve to get farmed ... but it isn't going to be by players of +15 levels.
