HK "farming" with a high level

So this process is quite common it seems. Players are running around with a high level character who will take you down to 10% or so, and then finish you off with their low level character. Now there is not a real page with server rules but I can not imagine this is not against the rules.
Any merit in frapsing and reporting this kind of behaviour?

as long as they aren't dual boxing, this is perfectly legal

This is PvP, if they can do it, you can do it as well.

If higher lvl players camp you, you can bring your own higher lvl players to protect you and so on

Is it nice, honorable or motivating? Not at all, but well, still PvP.

Pretty sure some of them are actually dual boxing. High level stops moving before the low level starts moving etc... might start frapsing this shit every time it happens and check the footage to see if they are actually the same people.

Ah well yeah, I reported a player who even said to me that he was not bossting his low lever char but just killing enemy players.

Just report them if you are sure that they multibox, it is not allowed, even without tools.

This sort of stuff happening is very sour though. I don't have a lot of time to play (on average 9 hours a week) and last night for example, during the 1 hour I was playing I spent around 25 minutes of it corpse running because some high level Hunter believed it was fun to keep Concussion shotting me and taking me to low HP so his Rogue friend could finish me off. And this evening it is the same thing all over again with a Hunter and his Druid pet.
I will not play on this server any more. So far it is a fair waste of time because it is not even fun playing this way. I don't mind getting ganked by same level, groups of same level or even by higher levels once of twice, but a high level camping you time and again to grind honor for his low level friend is enough to make people leave this community. This kind of behaviour is a testament to how toxic the community here is (and I thought it could not get any worse than the DotA 2 community) and I do not wish to be a part of it.

This is exactly what I am talking about. Currently I am looking up and removing every piece of advice I have ever given on this board because honestly I do not want my advice to be used here.

This is a pvp server. Is camping and carrying alt banable? I doubt it. Don't tell me you never got camped on retail. It's part of the game.

Sounds exactly like dualboxing.
