Pit duels workers ... so what? I personally only attack duelling workers and ninja workers of higher level than myself, but condone any attacks made by other members.
Why? Because w8 is pretty damn slow, tbh, and it needs all the action it can get. Plus, all this "don't duel workers" crap ... what is the big deal? What is the worst that happens when you get duelled as a worker?
You lose some money or you get KO'd. That really is nowhere near as bad as some workers will try and have you believe.
I don't mean to sound callous, but this worker thing has gone way too far now. Anyway, there are a few towns around us where the duellers and soldiers love coming over and attacking players 30 levels below them, how is that any better than attacking workers?
Meh and pfft, that's my response.
PS I am in KO now, and loving it. Can at last get some quests done, make some good cash and xp, find some items .... I never mind being in KO, it's part of the game.
