In sewers to kill 1st boss in AD as usual for tickets. Lower level AD in area. Boss not up so hide & wait. Lone red comes through. Kills some npcs. Stands around. Low level AD comes out of hiding. I presume they are about to get squashed / but no! Red leaves alone, so AD goes off. Can see red has gone into stealth near boss location. Deduce that they just want boss kill. So when boss comes up, and as predicted red starts fighting, make choice to be nice & snipe boss so as not to damage red. They can see me but totally ignore me. Boss dies. Wait to see if red will now attack me. Nope. Just heads back into the tunnels. Loot boss & get tickets & head for home, feeling marginally better about the world. 😉🙂

Honest question. Does the pvp community discipline its own when small groups grief/exploit newbies? If not, why?
I've yet to see anyone actually up on the platform outside the DC base (PC EU, no CP), but there have been plenty of 12-man AD/EP groups just below, or in the tunnel between the first daedric mobs and the base. They are pretty intimidating to newer non-PVPers to see that many enemies right outside your door. However, it only takes about 2-3 actual PVPers to clear out these numnuts and utterly destroy them in less than 30 seconds.
Additionally, PVPers want to farm other players for Tel Var. You don't do that by killing people who just came from their base, either having just banked their stash or just arriving for a sesh. You get ZERO Tel Var that way.
This tells me that the people spawn camping other factions are actually not PVPers, but PVE zerglings who want to feel safety in numbers and want to feel powerful/get revenge against the enemy faction.
