I have two takes on the whole linkdead situation. If your ISP drops and you have no control over the situation, obviously, it's not your fault, and I would look at any altercation differently.

If you are involved in a fight, or stealing, or whatnot, and being chased, and *gasp* amazingly and coincidentally you go linkdead with 8 people on your heels, and they attack you soon afterwards, I have very little, if any pity.

If I caught someone doing something like stealing from a blatantly linkdead, it would not be pretty, but using going linkdead as a shield from having anything happen to you I have no patience for.

On a similar tangent is the AFK command. People would repeatedly throw up their AFK flag while being chased, not move, and then cry like small children when they were beaten into a paste. This is why our AFK command now gives a warning to a player saying that under no circumstances are they safe due to having AFK up...
