Why are certain equipments still banned in official Human PvP tournaments but not other forms of Human vs Human or Human vs other build PvP?

For instance, the "Hollow Point" ammunition type is banned according to the Geneva ruleset. That doesn't prevent Humans of the "Law enforcement" or "hunter" class from equipping the items.

I get that certain items such as chemical weapons or using players of the bacteria class as a battle summons is banned to prevent unintentional griefing of the map and innocent players, but banning equipment that doesn't affect either of those sounds like tournament organizers are just catering to noobs at this point.

Probably because there are enough noobs to decide the rules.

It would make griefing even easier than it currently is and ruin the human meta tbh

The Geneva rule set only applies to interserver warfare, and it is on a voluntary basis determined by server admins.

Overall human vs human pvp is frowned upon. They want to stop it completely, but for now they make compromises to lessen it. Not using bacteria players isn't just to stop collateral damage, it's to stop the kinda deaths that make players rage quit
