Yeah Surf youre right. You will probably gonna kill any pk you encounter.
but not everyone has magic skills, like 300hp pipe rifle shot, so stick to topic: this game is really harsh for any build, but pvp ape. Of course, you can live (believe me, i have crafter build, which never died), but its only luck. In some cases pvp apes are unstoppable. You can admit that, or refuse and try to convince us, that you can survive two bg bursts in a row, with your average build. Which is definately not true.
