Personally, I see that kind of fake-peasant-eternal-blockers from a mile away. Not worth any of my time, just like the few actual peasants. The only difference being that I have at least some respect for the real ones, while fake peasants are basically attention whores on top of leechers. Talk about honor. You are exactly the type of guy that will hide in a hay all round long to get the valour without helping your team.
If there's no honor for cav, then there can't be any honor for any kind of ranged. And any kind of ninja, and any kind of backstabbing or outnumbering enemies to get cheap kills. In the end, the only honorfull move is dying, actually. And that's exactly what happens when you get valour. You die.
For one, I don't leech, I go out with the rest of my team and try to help (however minor).
Secondly, I never hide; in the rare occasions that I am the last alive I make sure I go directly into the enemy. I don't troll for valour.
Ranged infantry are so vulnerable. It is courageous to go into battle without a tin suit, and no proper melee weapon (as most archers have a spiked mace, hand axe, or hammer). Cavalry also ensures regularly that archers are kept down.
Ninjas and backstabbers are willing to go behind enemy lines risking not being able to escape, something cavalry doesn't have to worry about more often than not. Getting cheap kills on foot is still more honourable than getting cheap kills on horseback.
"Real peasants"
"Fake peasants"
What is the definition of peasant? Is it, "a new player?"
I've been called a fake peasant because I'm not new, and I've had all the opportunity to buy new equipment, but this is the way I see it: if you have a peasant's equipment (total value less than 500), then you're a peasant. When I came to cRPG, I had already played Warband online and single player for a very long time and I was fairly good at melee. So. Please expand on how to classify the 'fake' from the 'real' among peasants.
