No real value in killing players in RW

[Wintersandman]

There's actually a lot more forced pvp than in shatter, where you had to ignore players overall when big ice showed up, and the ice structure often made it unfeasible to attack people.

I should link you Lace's how to Shatter guide as ignoring opponents attacking ice is not a wise idea. They die they do less points on ice than you and you get points for their kill. So it was PvP but you chose to do the PvE objective.
