its about at least 3 bugs, not a part of the "macro mechanic", these bugs persist no matter macro or "on hand"
- Bug1: the player can get karma without PK, if kill some pet. Its simply not right: you suppose to get PK AND karma, not only karma. The result: when you kill someone in karma with 0 PK, you get karma AND PK :)))) Its not right: when you kill someone in karma, you not supposed to get karma+pk, you supposed to get reputation !!
- Bug2: You hit karma-player, when you target a mob and use AOE skills with target. You dont hit flagged players in the same situation. Karma or not, its PC not NPC, so that is 100% BUG.
- The result: If you kill someone in karma, you NOT supposed to get karma+pk, you supposed to get reputation !!
The combination of these 2 bugs lead to the horrible consequences: lot of players, putted in illegal karma and dropped / scammed.
This, in combination with NCSOFT full absence of support, lead to 1-2K less players and lot of unhappy ppl
