This entire discussion is pretty pointless if you ask me. First of all, there's no such thing as playing Dark Souls "the right way" as everyone's interperetation of that phrase is different. Some people may believe in no RTSR, or maybe no WotG. This is why I've always been and will always be a strong advocate of just playing how you want to. Quite honestly, expecting any sort of "honor" out of the community is silly. This person has entered your world with one purpose and one purpose only: To kill you by any means necessary. It's up to them how they want to go about it, and it's up to you how you want to react.

As for this generalizing of "Oh well this covenant is scummy, this covenant is good," let's grow up a bit. If we've stooped to generalizing how everyone will act based on their covenant of choice, then we're just segregating the community at this point. I've been a part of every covenant in both Dark Souls and Dark Souls II, so I guess I'm literally every adjective you could think of to generalize covenant members. Or, y'know, we could stop the generalizations based on covenants like I've already said. You have no idea how many times people have come into chat and asked about so-and-so covenant and people would respond with "Oh that covenant's for scumbags" or "Oh only join that covenant if you like making PvP unfair." Seriously, it's just dumb.
