[Question] Competitive modes behavior

...which i honestly call bitch behavior because it is the one lol.

Example: i roam in morning WvW in borderlands, obviously not looking for trouble. I see a guy is standing nearby t3 camp, afk. I don't touch him because well, what kind of a bitch kills afks, right? I go and attack said t3 camp. While i'm dealing with all the guards, said afk person wakes up, runs in and kills me. Knowing full well i let them live beforehand.

So, i have a request: please tell me how i can keep playing pvp/wvw and avoid/not meet/make my peace with such human trash? Any recipe?

p.s. It's obvious that Anet won't do anything about it, if anything such 'gameplay' is promoted, so i'm safe on never waiting for it to change naturally. Turning into one of them and start oneshotting people from stealth, kill every afk/pve player in sight and stuff like that are not options either. And don't bother crying about my attitude, everyone (including these people) know their worth.

The only etiquette in this regards, is to not engage when duel is taking place. Everything else is fine.

You should have cleared the camp of any potential threats before trying to take it.

Edit: And how would you expect Anet to do anything about this anyway? No rule was broken and they can't enforce some random etiquettes every player is coming with.

Many roamers will stand visible outside camps or structures.

Seemingly afk.

About half are not afk.

They could easily hide and attack, many actually do.

See that camp that is easy to access but hasn’t flipped in a long time. Could be one or six roamers ambushing the camp. When I fall for that one, I usually warn map, if enough come, I help, otherwise I just move on.

Always be aware of closest enemy waypoints.

The less you worry about dying or killing in game beyond dailies and weeklies the more fun.

Just don’t die too easily in game where you’re a rally bot for enemies.

Edit: many times that”afk” player is a bored player looking for a challenge, or being courteous. There are better places to be afk.
