IMO that way the pink status is regaining it's effect it used to have. And the overwhelming majority of players who made an honest mistake don't have to suffer through x amount of battles in which they are afraid of bumping into an ally, thus making them less effective and punishing their teams for x amount of battles. So you can weed out the accidents from the actual trolls. I know I'm talking to deaf ears and blind eyes here (I know it's my/ your fault, LTP) but still I strongly opt for the possibility for a 'forgive' option after battle. For me the case is closed right there and then. When being the 'victim' in the same amount of cases the 'perp' apologizes as heavily. When I do it I thoroughly apologize and explain the specific freak situation. But FFS 99,99999% of the teamkilling is a mere accident. Yes the truly rotten potatoes should be punished. When in smoke 95% of my attention is going to potential allied idiots going in front of me rather than on the reds, no parting gifts when in the DD situation and I let my teammate rot in peace when there's the slight possibility of hitting him by accident. I'd rather let the game lose when there was a possibility to win just because of this horror. My advice: don't take any chance, however quantum mechanical remotely slim for teamkilling. That's the only thing you'll hear about this matter. You see that same DD from your support position, being shot to pieces and you try to help him ans by some freak accident RNG decides to land 1 hit om him out of 12 on the reds which happens to be his mercy blow. You drive a DD, doing your job and scout and you're being radared by the cruiser behind the island, you flee in panic and leave parting gift drop, make a double strike and 1 camper happens to be 0,00000001 exp -10 mm within your torp range and you accidentally TK it. You take a good position in a DD, smoke up and shoot the living daylights out of the reds and some braindead zombie is sailing right in front of you while you're RL adrenaline rush and RNG is in your favor: setting the no brainer on fire by accident which he doesn't put out, you turn pink. Don't come here to ask for advice about this matter cause you won't get any.

You'll never get a straight answer, other than 'it's your fault.' People are, shockingly for me enough, completely blind about certain situations. Discussing the current TK system is a taboo.

You are supposed to say 'the current system is perfect' OP.
