I find it to be just manners and common sense. Perhaps even a matter of education.
I certainly don't expect everyone to be polite and educated. Age has little to do with this.
Law and spirit are different things, because something is permissible or allowed doesn't make it mandatory.
A bank manager who had someone unable to pay the letters of his house *is* allowed to take the house back, or he can decide to help the person and give her some slack, thus allowing to carry on with payments.
Really, it's a society of self absorbed interest where manners not only dwindle from day to day, but can go to nil over the internet where one's piggish behaviour has no consequences.
How possibly hard can it be to respect someone's wishes?
'Please, we're trying to decide which of us is best. Once done we'll carry on fighting.' Heck, seems straightforward. But to many in this thread it seems inconprehensible, the fact they can't satisfy their needs *NOW* and respect someone's expressed wishes.
My own experience in PvP here is close to zilch since my first attempt was to go to an arena with another corruptor and two stalkers.
Me and the corruptor, same ATs, had our fun trying to blast each other and mostly failing miserably or hitting for wussy damage, butt still fun to try. We gave up when the stalkers started ganging on us, one hit kills. Couldn't see them coming, couldn't do a thing, one AS and dead. Respawn, look around, see no one, then a AS out of the blue. Respawn again....
Right.
I come from NWN and we had the same problem with Shadowdancers. Though it's more problematic over NWN since thanks to game mechanics they can strike and hide again before we can hit. Repeat 'till death.
