Title say it all but if you recognize someone is AFK do you attack them or if you can tell only after the initial attack do you finish killing them?

    I attack before I'd know if they are afk most times. Why let an opponent potentially sit there and assess the situation? If they are afk in stealth in a decent hiding spot it should be unlikely that anyone would come upon them anyway. Afk out in the open? Fair game.

    The ol' decoy trick of having one guy in the open reading a map while a 23man zerg crouches stealthed nearby will ensure that there will be no mercy.

    If you are really AFK.. then get off your horse & stealth!

    If you're sitting AFK in a war zone, it's your own fault when you go up in flames. The only time I won't attack an adversary is if they are having a personal engagement (Duelling), or if they're taking part in non-combat activities (IE: Multi-Faction Guild Photo).

    I get reeeeally suspicious when I see someone that seems to be afk out in the open in Cyrodiil.

    Exactly because of this. I usually stealth and wait to see what happens, especially if I'm alone.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Don't worry, I do that on a daily basis aswell. Do I feel bad about it? Not even remotely. If there was a option to go factionless, I'd go for it without second guessing myself.

    Depends.

    If I'm out in the wild and I know said player is alone, nah, not worth it.

    If I'm in the middle of a siege, I'll kill you, because I have no time to spare.

    I attack any enemy player I see instantly (I have learnt from my mistakes of the past. People are ***, do not offer mercy).

    The three characters I play the most are my Magicka sorc, my stam nightblade and my stamknight (stamknight main), on all of them my burst is high enough that an AFK player or someone caught completely off guard will die in basically 2-3 seconds, so neither of us have time to pull back and behave honourably, haha.

    I would get killed if I go afk, after that I started killing them.

    Most of the AFKs I've seen have been standing inside the inner gate or at the transit shrine. If I don't kill them someone else will, and if not, then the NPCs definitely will after we capture the flags. So fair game I say.

    I don't because the only AFK people I've ran into are low levels, wouldn't even be a challenge if they were there. So I ignore them.

    If I die AFK I especially don't care, free teleport!

    If I AFK in a PvP zone, I deserve to be coming back to the respawn screen.

    If I decide to attack someone, and notice they don't react due to AFKishness, I kill them anyways. If people AFK smart, they'd go in stealth in some corner noone ever goes to, where I won't notice them, and so would be unlikely to attack them.

    The ones I don't attack are never the possibly AFKish ones, but always those I just see if I can sneak past...
