I'd like to see them improve this skill some. Make it so you can spit in another PC's face unless they're higher level than you. It's pretty difficult right now for face spitting. Also, I'd like to be able to spit on dead bodies if I didnt like them when they were alive. Maybe have a mechanical effect with spitting on critters they are forced to offensive stance to simulate rage and humiliation.

>Rumor used to be that spitting at other PCs would get your guild membership pulled. Is that not the case any more?

Definitely not the case anymore. I would also say theres no real harm going on and its more benign then say warcrying someone into rt lock. Also, the first in nobility and all that? I have a hard time seeing spitting on animals being noble but in the guild this is a task we are given.
