No 'griefing' allowed in the Diablo III room

I hated that in D2 when people would just go hostle and "tele" into groups trying to Pk them but as noted password protected room FTW!

im actually the opposite of mix

i loved it when high level dude came into a room full of people 20-30 levels lower then itself, only to wind up leaving the room a sad panda cuase they used teamwork to kick his ass repeatedly at the same time as completing a quest

I suspect that there will be no fewer than seventy-four petitions against this decision.

i kind of hated that you couldn't surprise people with pvp in diablo 2 (had to go back to town, going hostile closes town portals, etc....) as it added an interesting element of trust to an already tense game in the first Diablo. What I think should be done is this: set a game, from the start, to either allow or disallow pvp, and then allow "going hostile" from anywhere. have there be a penalty for dying by another player (I don't know what it is now, its been so long since I've played PVP diablo, but maybe lose a percentage of gold to the other player, even from the stash, or a portion of XP to the other player (could be determined by the player who creates the game?) and of course, the ear trophy items. I think that would be the best way to please everyone.

probably also good to have a set level difference cap, say, a player must be within 5 levels of another in order to go hostile.. the best way would be to allow this to be set by the game's creator: don't like those rules, join a different player's game.
