The massacre mode was different from seeking a battle because the latter would require the opponent's acceptance and agreement before proceeding. Starting the massacre mode meant that even if the opponent did not want to fight you, you could still immediately go for the kill.
Of course, there were punishments for forcefully killing someone. After the player started the massacre mode, they would become red-listed themselves and become a monster, then anyone could kill them from then on.
The players were initially all flooding the forums, shocked that Piercing Wind would join Glory of Light's wedding. Someone had even speculated that Piercing Wind was prepared to join the faction but in the next second, everyone witnessed him get off his saddle and catch everyone off guard by going into massacre mode.
