So literally pulling the plug is your way to deal with bothersome invaders? That's very brave. At least you could try an ingame solution, like going to the boss fog wall, which means failed invasion for any invader, no matter the covenant. 

Plus, low sin players rarely get invaded by Darkmoons, especially if there's a player at your level with much higher sin. It's the darkwraiths or the random Cracked Red Eye Orb invaders that usually invade the most. 

I've had one of the "pull the plug" invadees in my Darkwraith runs, mainly because he had run out of estus flasks and had no humanity to heal. It screws up your invasion and it means wasted time. If anyone can't handle the online component of the game, better if they play it offline and stay out of the online.

I've only pulled the plug twice out of the many times I've been invaded so far. I never mind fighting an invader who actually fights but....I started noticing way more of them playing hide and seek, or running away to safety to heal once their hp is low. It got legitimately frustrating =/ 

Trying to fight an invader with all sorts of nasty tactics in ng+ is hardly ever fun when they're hiding behind the dinos in Lost Izalith. If I had Strong Magic Shield, I'd have no problem with using it to glitch and kill those types - my friend does it often.

With all that being said, I'll probably start disconnecting more often whenever people decide they wanna play dumb and waste time. Hell, some of them are even doing this during pvp sessions in Anor Londo! I ended up leaving the center platform lowered - the amount of invaders that run straight for it once they're in is sad, and once I see them do that I'll be more than happy to double team them with whatever white phantom I have with me.
