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.

I have a hard time affixing real life scenarios in comparison to a game such as World of Warcraft. In real life I have a chance (albeit a very very small one) to take out a Navy Seal. By contrast, I'm certain that I could not take out a level 60 horde member with my level 40 paladin. That being said I prefer a "fair fight" and in my PvP turns on the PvE server I have endeavoured to seek out opponents within 5 levels of my own. If I happen to get stomped by a much higher level horde than that is fine. I write down their name and seek them out when I'm higher level. ;)
