    "Honourable" Empty "Honourable"

    Just curious what rules people abide too in a pvp context on the forums in regards to bowing using certain tactics or npcs ect.
    Personally I will use WoG if multiple people are after me and the same with NPC's however I generally try to bow.

    Always bow unless your opponent is on the attack, don't spam, if your being ganked(double teamed,triple teamed) then anything goes.

    At least thats how I do it happy

    Personally, I will bow if they do. I dont invade cept as a hunter so I can either wait for them to bow or I can immediately tell if they're going to bow or not. I never heal and I never BS on purpose. Neither do I spam spells. I play as honourably as I can no matter how many times it gets me killed.

    If they spam WoG, use TWoP, heal, run farther into the level, attack while I bow, BS fish, chain crit, or worst, gank, I'll do my best to destroy them. Otherwise I don't break any of those rules.

    Last week I invaded a guy who was a ganker, his phantom bow when he saw me, but the host did not, then both rushed and the phantom backstabbed me while the host casts WoG. Then another invader shows up and attack the host, when I get up I fight and kill the phantom at the same time the host is killed, then I taunt the phantom like this: "Honourable" 2707236321

    Then we had a short "conversation" by messages:

    Phantom: Why you taunt? I bowed at the beggining and you should do the same"

    Me: Because both you and the host tried to backstab me

    P: Yes, I did tried to backstab because I'm tired to fight idiots who dont bow and only wants to kill people and don't even try to have fun

    Me: You and your buddy attacks me at the same time, backstab and use WoG when I get up trying to finish me as soon as possible and then you hatemail me about Fun and Honour?

    End of conversation. Moral of story: Honour is made by point of views. For me, an honourable player will never gank anyone, but for him, he could gank, spam WoG, do whatever he wants as long the opponent "bow" before the fight.

    I read off the invader/host whether or not I bow. If they're keeping their distance and not doing anything or bow first I bow. Anyone who bows gets treated fair, no healing, no chain BS. If they break a rule I throw the rules out the window. If I'm out numbered I also don't follow the rules.

    There is no honour, its a video game for gods sake. I see no honour in bowing to your target in PVP, it is just bloody common courtesy - there is either having fun, or not. The latter normally occurs when you lose. An honourable act would be helping someone carry their shopping home or something similar to that

    I bow to make sure my opponent is ready.

    I don't spam spells because it is boring.

    i don't BS fish because it is boring.

    I don't attack people who bow because it is boring.

    I don't gang up on people because it is boring.

    I don't min/max because it is boring.

    I don't heal because if i have to, then I've already lost.

    If someone pulls off a lovely parry and messes up the riposte (does an ordinary attack my mistake), I have been known to offer them a BS if I think they deserve it.

    If I find gankers, or someone heals in a duel, or someone who attacks while I bow, then they must die at all costs, so my rules stop applying.

    It's relative. It is best to make sure that, if you want to show it, you must show it the same or similar way they do.

    Many prefer a bow before battle, and preparation with Buffs and such to themselves and their weapons. If they aim to hit you without remorse, you do the same.

    if i'm actually trying to progress in the game and i get invaded i will do whatever it takes to take out the invader. sorry, but my intentions are not for pvp in that situation. any other event though, i will try to quickly assess my opponent to see if they will play fair and i will almost always bow unless of course it's a 2 or 3v1 or i see them making a b-line toward a back stab.

    if they have a friend with them(can also be a red/blue one) i wait for them to bow and observe what they do. if they just attack then the gloves are off, and i will do anything i can to win.
    if they are alone i wait for them to bow or bow first, it depends. if they bow then i assume they want to duel, and i fight honorably until i win/lose/see them do something that un-honorable in my book. IE healing, spell spam etc.

    "honorable" is for me to not spam WoG or GC or TWoP most other spells are fine for me. to not BS fish, if someone BS because of a mistake i made then its fine. to not use the mobs. to not heal. to not attack right after a BS/parry.
