I think you may arguing from a sportsmanship perspective (we all agreed to these rules GG) vs my preferred sociopathic RPG experience (these rules allow me to harm you). I conflate the two because they're very hard to separate and there's going to be elements of both in anyone who can tolerate a PVP MMO. It's like... There's rules everyone agrees to, but their reason for opting into that ruleset are more way interesting.

I never intentionally kill anyone. The only times I really go for the killshot is when I'm outnumber and there's really no way out.
Usually if its a 1v1 honor duel or something I just joust until they win or I get them low enough they will concede, in that case I help bandage them up and either help them exp or go on their way. Not everyone that pvps is a complete monster. | ||

Rarely go out of my way to travel across the world denying pixels tho to another guild or anything like that I just like goofin. There is no reason you have to play pvp like it's DKP dragon kill quest FTE lawyerworld. You can pvp without fighting. Like you do in pvE and all the time with your rules. And GMs and Elfcourts. | |||

That exists in greater numbers on blue and green though, just in different ways (in my opinion). My takeaway - ignore those people, eventually they will go away or you will overpower them. There are permantly worn see invis items and stuff. Consider him the dragonlord of MM - back in the day item loot would have even rewarded you for teaming up and defeating him eventually, it is possible. Some people have absolutely no sense of sportsmanship and can't bother not to use their superpowers or toys. These demons exist everywhere. At least with pvp ya'll can get bracers of the hidden or those helms with truesight and stuff and go back and get him on either a de-leveled toon or alt twinks. It happens, and it's glorious when it does. I'm not a particularly vengeful person, a lot of people don't want to spend that much effort just to win or do something in MM and I also respect that. I have spent an equal number of nights in MM by myself, and an equal number out maneuvering these guys as well though. Play the game how you want. Some people enjoy that challenge too. | |||

What can I say. I'm all bark. No bite. And a softy. I don't like deliberately toying with people too much either. Though I've been known to engage in their mind games when posting.
Whats important about sportsmanship for me is that I'm doing it. If I can't be bothered to fight someone or share or help them or w/e I'll just /q. And play an alt. I've left my character logged in before so it could be piņata 'd before too. I try not to be too judgey anymore if people want to race to a mob or hunt me down on their alts anymore. That's how I try to approach every situation anyway because that's how I want to be. Can't say I always FEEL like it. Most of the time. It's nice to see other people win. Provide a challenge or friendship. Or at least a speedbump. That's pvp and pve for me. My ranger on green has spent all week at lvl 10. If I wanted, I could have turned off pvp. Shoved my gnoll teeth into some npc. Bought a combine longsword. Spent 24 hrs grinding GLS and made lvl 25 by now. I rather enjoyed meeting all the different folks hanging out around bb though. Fought a mage today. They were going to win. A bear agroed their pet though, and they had to run. I left the fight with like 1% hp and followed Holly Windstalker to safety at the jaggedpine entrance. Tbh. They could probably have resummoned snipes me and ran. They let me live this time though. We chatted a bit and I rambled about how I would have beaten their pet if I had bothered to upgrade my sword from rusty. They actually are doing this challenge before I even did the pvp thing. So that's a pretty cool synchronicity. They want to level with no outside help and no twinking or items from outside of their group. I thought that was cool. And I waxxed nostalgiac for my red99 mage I'll probably never play again. Who knows though? | ||

Necros are the best class to play and have the most diverse abilities.
