I don't really like playing with @noks on bc most of the time people just accidentally ks and i dont really care tbh, but I currently have to have @noks on when i farm because of how it interacts when other people have @noks on.
When someone has @noks off, if they are attacking something and would have @noks protection if they had it on, and someone with @noks on attacks the mob, the @noks off person gets a ks penalty. So it's actually punishing for players to have @noks off because they will get ks penalty if someone hits the mob they were already hitting.
I would like to suggest that @noks off kind of has its own soft ks protection that won't trigger a ks penalty or stop people from hitting it but just makes it so that they wont get ks penalties for hitting their own mobs.
This won't change anything for interactions with people who have @noks on already, it'll just allow people to have @noks off without being punished
also everytime i said @noks it popped @Nokstella so i'll just tag him
