Actually they are not making any rules for you. They just point out to others that want a fight to avoid you. You make your own rules as long as HT does not see it as abusive to the game. Your own rules are set by your personal standards be they high or low..
This whole personal standards High or Low is nonsense this is a war game not tennis, and a fight is a fight. There is a far too much snobbery and general opinionated nonsense in the game. People using erroneous concepts like personal standards to control how others play so they can turn the game into a DA because people cant control the mix. The point is there are too many variables to control and a fight is a fight.
I think the highly skilled people who want to remove the random element should move into their own arena where they can duel eachother and argue about rules while the majority play war.

If I see someone and I have the advantage I will kill them fare fight or not. The real skill is making sure you have that advantage or wingman etc that is what the enviroment is for, that is the dynamic. All you lone rangers should really get together in one place and do your thing and play by your rules. If I see you in the ma trying to land kills, smoking, on fire , low and slow, taking off etc Ill kill you and enjoy it
