Well it would be up to discretion, if theres 1 guy left and 10 guys are running at him, well he is going to lose. He should just accept it (unless he's me of course cause i can take on any number of people cause im awesome).
If its say 3v1 well he still has a chance and he should do whatever he can to win it. Backing up and fighting in a doorway/ladder to restrict the number of ppl who can attk you is also a very valid tactic. What i hate seeing is some guy on a horse running off into the sunset.
Backing away is not the same as running away. I back up when i fight but if ppl are chasing you they will catch up (as wlaking backwards is slower than running forward) and you'll have to fight. Running away is when your back is turned and your just heading for the hills, ppl cannot catch up to you.
Even if there are arguements over it, there are heaps of arguments now when it happens so the situation can only get better.
Apparently there is alot of hate flying around atm over what happend, to those dishing it out get over it, acting like a **** while playing an online game doesnt prove your better than anyone, all it does is drive ppl away from the game.
To those on the recieving end, really.... its the internet, this is the **** that happens, people are going to troll you regardless. Just ignore them or if you enjoy a heated exchange get stuck into them. Its just text, sure its distracting but it doesnt mean anything, some guy sitting in front of his computer on a friday night thinks your a *****, who cares. I am civil when i play games because it takes less energy than being a troll, how the fk can anyone enjoy playing a game while they're typing 1/2 the time, how much gratification can you get from giving yourself a pat on the back for bagging someone? out honestly?
