So I decided to start a new toon and try hosting in the forest for a change of pace. And it saddens me to say that the forest invaders have mostly turned into gankers. On about 90% of the invasions I had last night, the invader waited until they had a 2nd invader before fighting. Now don't get me wrong I expect the odd 1v2 as I never summoned a phantom and was looking for 1v1. But they would either intentionally wait for another invader, or they would engage me and if they started to lose they would run away and heal then wait for another invader. I never once used my flask out of the 80 invasions, but at least half of the invaders used humanity when they were low. Or even worse they would bow and when I bowed back they would attempt to backstab me. But thankfully I always leave enough room between us that they can't get to me in time.
And so I ask where is the honor? I always thought we were better than the farmers/gankers in the forest. But from what I saw we are now worse then them. It made me ashamed to be a forest hunter if that is how hosts see us. Especially if they were new to Dark Souls.
