To view the original post, please click hereThe traitor penalty would only apply within the confines of the battle area and each team's encampment...this is to prevent someone from joining a team and simply using that as a means to slaughter their own teammates.Here are some examples of why you cannot give a 'traitor' penalty to killing someone on your own side.
Lets say you're in Virtue and you're doing a champ or something, and a guild of reds come along who have a couple of players in Virtue with them, the players in Virtue heal the reds, you will then get a penalty for killing that Virtue player who is healing the reds???
