I don't care if people try killing me - I will do what I can to survive. NO point fighting back "pkers" with an inventory of loot though. It's a lost battle before it even starts so you're better off running.

A team of 40 with 2 rocktails/sharks and 1 super restore (pre overloaded at bank with renewal) in 60 gear 70 weapons can take out 20 people in 80+ Weapons and 75+ Gear with full invent of food + yak. It's called fighting back.
Another problem with fighting back is. Normally one person in the fight is being targeted. If you aren't being attacked. It's better to Soul Split off till you are. I've gotten some lovely smite loots.
And that was on the looting end. Not hard to set Yak to Take BoB.
If the fc mostly runs then your only choice is to run as well - Why would you bother to try and stand against multiple people at once if no one is helping you?
The wildy is pretty much run mostly by SAPK members. WBG would always get decimated by SAPK in wars every time I went to them.

I was in a good WBG where people fought back. I guess you had an unlucky run ;s
Though with that said I have been in situations where none of WBG/PK ever fought back and just ran.
Also I'm not SAPK! I never have nor will be lol. They don't dominate the wilderness as much as you think. Alot of people go to Warbands with the intent thinking they can just get XP and leave and not get worried about being PKed.
I normally leave WBG FC's alone. There are people on the other enemy side who pretty much do what WBG do. The only difference is they risk more when looting.
Hybridding is a joke in EoC. 9 times out of 10 it's a weapon switch and sometimes a top. Or if you're facing the tryhards, 3 way switch. Though I have seen some people take Warpriest before and that's surprisingly viable.
