Kills by other players in HC

I was killed by other player, while was afk at cruel Solaris 2 WP.
Is it ok for you, or is there a way to punish dirty players like that one?

Wraeclast is a harsh and unforgiving continent. You made a mistake and no there's no way of punishing them if they don't let you.

it sucks, sure, but people will probably tell you that the world of Wraeclast is full of exiled criminals, so this is pretty much expected kind of behavior..

There is actually the real PK in PoE, back in old days Bandits were relatively difficult, and people had been paying for Bandit kills. Many HC chars died this way.. There even were one nasty chick, with low level char, specialized in killing the players. She had been offering decent currency for bandit help, then killing surprised high level characters:)

The new trap is supposedly to frost wall people into lab traps and what not so you rip without access to escape in most cases.

OP, you made a mistake, never go afk in a hostile zone if you can't absolutely trust the person, even a best friend if they are known to be a dick sometimes.

No, there is no reason to punish the people who got you killed. Are they assholes, yeah but you have nobody to blame but your own naivety/inexperience.

I think you should just say "never go afk in a hostile zone" in HC. Just never do it.

OP: even if the player hadn't lead enemies to you, the enemies might still have walked over to you without you realising.

Protip: If you want to offer the Solaris Waypoint to other players while afk, just go into the Eternal Laboratory. Other players can't kite monsters there. Only works in Normal and Cruel, because it is part of the same zone as Solaris 2. The eternal Lab in Merciless is a separate zone and Solaris will reset when you afk for too long. And you can't let players directly into the Lab, because quest state.

...you could also clear the zone beforehand, so there's no enemies left to kite.
