As far as PvP gameplay, there's no set of rules or code of conduct, just an imaginery set of guidelines that people hope everyone will follow. People shouldn't expect others to be "considerate," especially in the world of Dark Souls. Honestly, I don't think the developers wanted fair PvP, if they did they would have implemented a rulebook. I am glad they didn't; it would take away a lot of the challenge and mystery behind PvP. I personally find it much more satisfying to kill a group of gankers rather than "dueling."

Like you said: this is Dark Souls.
