Roleplaying vs greifing?

[Occhidiangela]

I see it different than many of you.

From my perspective on a PvP server anything that isnt an exploit and is done against an enemy is fine.

If you enjoy opperating by under special rules thats cool.

But thats just how you like to play annd you shouldnt expect the same from others except to the degree that your in game actions can force others to adhere to your standards.

As for "roleplaying" meaning we should treat some people different thats silly. In the game treat people as they deserve for their actions in game.   If they exploit then treat them different matter though, because exploits are essentially using an out of game action to effect the game.

Pretty much concur.

Even in RL, certain sets of opponents a "code of honour" even when fighting each other. Formally, these are embodied in such things as "The Law of Armed Combat" and some of the gallantry exhibited in the early air war of World War One.

The trouble is, one can't count on one's enemy to try to do anything but win. Therefore, as you suggest, any "code" one adopts is undertaken for one's own reasons, and not out of any expectations that the foe is obligated to mimic you. I find that a lot of people, RL and Gameside as well, completely don't "get" that.
