WPvP actually gave me a couple chuckles last night.
Looking around for dirt to dig in for Sparks… Get sidetracked by HandyNotes, something about a treasure or something… Messing around… Feral druid from Moon Guard attacks in the starting area, aggros NPC guards. Since I wasn’t a level 60, I kill them, the guard, then go about my business.
Continue flying about, then suddenly I’m not flying anymore. I fatfingered abilities while flying a bit recently so I was like, “Huh, what did I push this time?” No, was apparently chased and dismounted by a DK who had a hunter friend riding with them. Confused and out of the loop, I glide down to a spot, they follow… Try to mount up, death grip. Almost fumble my way off the mountain cliff for a good eight seconds before making the decision, “Do I fight them, or run? It’s 2v1, DK and Hunter vs Devastation evoker, maybe I should–”
I stop, turn, and knock the Death Knight off the side of the ridge, then look at the hunter, who hasn’t pushed anything yet, probably confused. They start channeling Rapid Fire on me. Their HP is still under 200k. They die, almost instantly when I push some buttons. I thank them for the sparks, put a flag in their corpse, and continue on, curious as to what was going on through the DK’s head after that engagement…
In the end? If they engage me, no mercy must kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill. If they don’t engage and I don’t NEED to kill them for something, I might leave them be if it is convenient. Sometimes, I just gotta slap some people though and won’t hesitate to start blasting a red name. My only etiquette is that if they rage-whisper me, I laugh. If they are Horde, I won’t swing first (unless it’s an elf, don’t have the time to discern what kind). If they are vastly undergeared or underleveled, I won’t kill them unless they make a (futile) attempt.
