The "honor" of the wilderness only exists because of frustrated pkers. A guy is pking and he is winning a fight, the loser teleports. The winner is frustrated but he would sound like a whiny [bleep] if he calls him a tele noob, so instead the nonexistant concept of honor is made up. This is an MMORPG, and a childish one at that. If you've ever really played in another competitive online game, you'll know that "honor" is not as issue. People do whatever they can to win within, knowing that there are certain drawbacks, and people understand that. The problem has 2 aspects in RS: 1. A lame PvP system, there is basically no disadvantage to carrying teleports or using protect prayers. They are extremely easy to use, but difficult and expensive to stop. 2. Childish players; a real PvPer wouldn't complain about honor, he would recognize the measures he needs to take to become a good pker. People love to sit in edgeville and complain about all the prayer and tele noobs, when their time would be better spent pking deeper in the wildy or training.

It pretty simple to me: Think of trade scamming, a person puts up 1m and switches it to 10k. Is this scamming? Yes, clearly it is. Is it the victims fault? Yes, he could have easily avoided this by paying more attention to the second trade screen. But even though the victim made a mistake, that does not make trade scamming acceptable What about password scamming? If you say your password outloud or give it away, your an idot, but its still scamming! Luring is exactly the same. Its your fault for wandering into the wilderness, but just as much fault belongs to the lurer who scammed you.

Very well said
