    Yes I found that fun, just like other things in the game:
    - putting up a stack of lichbloom for xx on the AH, and then put up just 1 lichbloom up for the exact same price
    - killing the stormwind auctioneers with my rogues, and then advertise with my mage for a portal
    - buy frozen orbs for 15g, trade them in for eternal fire and sell those for 30g+
    - etc

    Basically those actions can be classified as 'tricking' people into something. On my pve server, sometimes 2-3 pallies run into the back of orgrimmar, try to kite some players there, bubble and run back, and then a group of 10 allies is standing ready to nuke us. Same approach: they try to trick us into getting flagged. It usually ends up with a good fight everyone is enjoying. Most world pvp is centered around tricking people. And if the trick i described above was applied to me, I'd think something along the lines of 'damn bastard, well done, i got what i deserved'.

    I'm surprised that fellow boxers talk about the morals of this, while they show up in a BG and 1 shot other players, or gank players (lowbies?) that are questing. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone on a pve realm is a carebear that wants to avoid pvp by all means.

    I'm not probing the morality of trickery, I'm saying its a dick move any way you cut it. But hey, you want to be a dick? Fine, go for it. You want to pretend to be a PvP badass by tricking people in to flagging on a PvE realm? Kudos to you. Just don't be surprised when people call you on it.

    If that is your definition of being a dick, fine by me. It's not by my standards. And it seems pointless from my point of view to argue about standards.

    However I don't see, in all objectivity, how I pretend here to be a pvp badass? I clearly say it's a trick, counting on the opposite faction not paying attention to what they do. I also state that I kill them off once they are outside, which can be seen as 'ganking'. But hey, feel free as a boxer yourself and 1 shotting people to call someone out for sharing a trick like I described. I can only shake my head, smile and move on.
    Everything that is fun in life is either bad for your health, immoral or illegal!

    Sorry guys, this discussion is over. You're apparently not allowed to "trick" your mortal enemy into flagging for PvP because it is immoral and you may end up hurting someone's feelings. Zenga... consider yourself a horrible person.
