Because that leaves the players which have killing as a central part of their strategy crippled. This way killing hurts HPR people but does not destroy them. Otherwise this gives the HPRer's and Hawkers a distinct advantage over troop strategists.
Waitasecond... Killing is only part of clan warfare/genocidal emperor strategy when you want to deal a serious blow to the enemy. If killing doesn't even harm a HPR, then what difference is 1 land acre going top make.

Killing for the sake of killing is stupid - on Ragnarok it makes sense (you get the enemy's resources and some of their troops). Here, in the current environment, it is just dumb.

Unless you're Gondor ;)

In Devari's game, Ragnarok, if you kill someone, you gain all of the resources the person had and a certain percent of their troops (not on the Market though).

Sorry, I meant the part after "Killing is only part of clan warfare/genocidal emperor strategy when you want to deal a serious blow to the enemy."

I mean that, if you just resurect with no penalty, then there really is no difference between going down to 1 acre and dying anyway...

I don't think he was proposing to allow resurection with no penalty. He's got a whole list of penalties for resurecting.
