If this is true , there's nothing wrong, to search fun in a game is the right thing to do.
you forgot RPer - trying to be plausibile in a fictional role, killing people mostly for teh lulz (some of them love to be killed by people for teh lulz)
I left RPers out since in FOnline, everyone does have a "role" in away. and the game doesn't really allow for the normal forms of "roleplay" since suicide bombers and trolls are everywhere. but some APKs and even PKs and PvPers act in away not unlike roleplaying a character.
It is soo, soo simple.
PKer - kills people mostly for teh lulz
APKer - pretends to be the savior of the downtrodden, the righter of wrongs, the icon of hope for humanity, but he kills people mostly for teh lulz
PvPer - pretends to be the professional killing people mostly for teh lulz
Lawyer - no one can really understand his way of killing people mostly for teh lulz
Even though this is kind of dumbed down, i think this does fit. APKs do enjoy pwning the PKs. PKs enjoy pwning anything that can move. and PvPers enjoy being or trying to be a skilled fighter. (the thing about the lawyers i won't get in to thought. ^,.,^)
The difference between pk and apk is that pkers kill without a reason, and apkers kill for a reason (and the reason could just be any reason from long hair dude skin, russian name, suspicion of being enemy, having too many letters in in game name etc.)
Again, dumbed down, but not off topic. look at it this way real life cops don't treat gangbangers nicely, so if you give them a reason to not like you, then they'll be sure to give you special "attention" if you do give them a reason.
try new reno and see how so called apkers react then. In redding militia does all the job, so people doesnt really give a shit.
If you walk in to the middle of a battlefield. and walk up to the people defending, who are paranoid about spys. then what do you think they will do? new reno is almost the same as a TC battle, as far as how gangs treat it.
