One tidbit I'd add is that it doesn't appear that you can Cure souls on Hydaelyn; once you're dead, your Aether returns to the lifestream (or doesn't, and you become a revenant), and you're dead dead -- game over, insert coins, do not pass Go, etc. 
Admittedly, those of strong spiritual fortitude can slingshot back to a nearby Aetheryte, but not all PCs are RPed as such.
So, while you can probably justify seriously mangling people in Frontlines, since magical healing can patch them back up, outright killing people is probably a no-no, IMO.
Also, as others noted, combat games such as lasertag, paintball, foam weapon fighting, etc. refer to disabling someone per the rules of the game as a "kill" and your being disabled as a "death." So, I wouldn't read too much into the terminology, personally. Frontlines are a war game, after all, not a killing field.
