A lengthy consideration on Ryzom's status as a PVPer

Well, I recommend not to bring up the camping issue again and again. It will lead to pointless polemics, and in the end, you'll get hurt. And while I am catty and evil enough to enjoy polemics, I hate when people I like get hurt. So let us agree to disagree about.

As to PvP farming as you describe it, yes, that is not good, and not healthy. But how do you tell legitimate combat training, also with uneven chances, testing the options left in desperate situations, from unfair farming out of greed for points only? Do you want every PvP practitioner being overheard and spied upon?

Much more, there are those many borderline situations. When somebody is training again and again, even with an alt, or a friend, or the alt of a friend, she may try to achieve perfection, but also may combine it with the usefulness of getting some reward.

I agree that ethics and responsibility should be encouraged and enforced by community consensus. That may mean that one frowns upon unfair techniques and spread the word of disapproval of such practice. But in my opinion, that is the only possibility. Setting up a bureaucratic ruleset, and enforcing it by strict supervision, will discourage everybody, even those who have nothing unfair in mind.
