So we all agree then; honor is subjective and thus any game mechanic designed to enforce it is a bad idea. When (if) such a system is implemented,it will be based upon a subjective definition of honor agreed on by the Devs.

Lastly, let us remember the abuses carried out (limited in scope, but still there and very present) when you were penalized for harming newbies, which was subjectively deemed a bad thing to do and hence devoid of honor. These days that the penalties are gone, new players are NOT getting more shot up than before.

jex i haven't seen that many new players though :D

Besides the abusal during those times wasn't from the side of real newbies but from the side of these 'unhonourable' people that were unhappy that they were penalized for their favorite hobby. And how can you easier get rid of a penalty then by abusing it fervently?
