Battleground etiquette.

I kill everything and anything in site, the objective is to kill not duel. If you want to Duel, go outside a horde cap city and wait.

If people want to yell at me thats fine, next time i see them getting killed i let them die, usually if someone starts attacking my multiboxing on my server i get people defending me. Its all about your rep.

Everyone has his own code of conduct that defines what is OK, and what is going too far. The one and only officially rule of PvP is, "work it out amongst yourselves," so naturally we develop more detailed rules for ourselves to fill the space. That's fine ... I have my own set of rules which make me feel like an adequately good sportsman, and I follow them.

Expecting other people to follow your personal rules, though, is just stupid. Nobody's agreed on them but you, so why chew people out for not following rules they never agreed to? It's futile and retarded.

So ignore this fool on the BG -- he's being unrealistic and unreasonable.

You are in a battleground you see one of your team involved in a 1v1.

What is the correct thing to do. Are you supposed to ignore them, as it's a fair fight and they can win it or lose it on their own, or are you supposed to pile in, help them kill the enemy and move on.

I was watching a BG where my son was playing. I've taught him it's a team game, it's not about leaderboard position, its about being a useful team member.
So he sees one of his team fighting a hordey and piles in on the fight. They kill the alliance then he starts getting whispers from the team mate he's just helped.

Basically he said "I don't need to stroke my epeen by stealing someone elses Killing Blows as I'm in a 2200 (or so) rated Arena team and I'm more than capable of killing on my own".

It did seem ironic that someone who doesn't need to stroke his epeen felt the need to quote his arena ranking and got so upset over a killing blow.

However I am now wondering if you are meant to let 1v1's occur. I've always thought that successful BG's are pretty much where you make every fight an unfair one.
if there are 3 of them you hit them with 5, but then I have been in 1v1 fights and seen my teammates ride happily by so now I'm not so sure.

The correct response for an idiot like this is "If you're so good at arenas, perhaps you should stick to them and GTFO of my BG!"

:P

On a side note, its good to see you teaching your kid to be a team player
