It's powergaming lol. Like. Your car doesn't just teleport if someone's impounding or planting drugs or whatnot on it. Just because most of the playerbase is too dull to realize that, doesn't mean it shouldn't be done.
Kind of like scamming. There were ways to scam without being powergaming, but most people were just PG'ing/using OOC means so scamming as a whole was disallowed.
Because /get'ing people in the middle of a huge gunfight without any RP at all is not powergaming.
Because trying to pepper spray someone who is shooting to you with a deadly weapon is not powergaming.
Because abusing pepper spray to
get someone into an animation in order to bypass the anti-tazing script is not powergaming.
Because throwing
water to someone and then taze him is not powergaming,
And so on...
I bolded the areas you really should think about before arguing. How would that be powergaming, if it's literally something that you can do IRL? Those rules come from a game balance perspective, not powergaming.
As someone else said, you should read the /get related rules (and yes, it IS powergaming, however what also is powergaming is stalling so others can get shot. Real big gray area there, hence the rules regarding /Get. However the keybinded /me -> /get in less than a second is BS.
As per "Because trying to pepper spray someone who is shooting to you with a deadly weapon is not powergaming"
If you could taze (like you can irl) it wouldn't happen. Like I said, it's from a game balance perspective, not "powergaming/unrealistic" behaviour. Mostly stemming from the fact that in the game you don't die/become incapacitated by being shot once.
Edit:
inb4 the argument of "yea but tazing someone soaked in water will kill him" to which I pre-emptively reply: "And a bullet wouldn't?"
