AIONology

So I was browsing the forums when I came across a post where someone was talking about a level 50 ranger he was fighting who would log out whenever the fight was not going his way. I highly disapprove of this method of “PvP” and anyone who uses it. In my opinion if you are losing a fight in PvP (as long as it’s a somewhat fair fight) then you should fight like a man and deal with the abyss point loss. It’s the honorable thing to do.   However I have used the “logout technique” once to escape a PvE battle I was sure that I would lose, in a location that would be annoying to get back to.

What are general thoughts on this kind of thing (hopefully negative) and has this technique ever been used on you before?
