Alright, so since I was there when this whole situation actually occurred, I feel somewhat responsible to make a response here. I will not name any names so as to protect the integrity of the players involved so they can hopefully make up and be friends again in-game. From what I was made to understand is that there was a war in which only 3 participants showed up. This means that NORMALLY people would just stand there until time is up to get the win AND THEN FIGHT if they choose to. BUT YOU MUST KEEP IN MIND that it is in fact a WAR ARENA. In my opinion, I would be very upset if I was killed before getting my arena win if I was in the last three before the time was up, because I am a very competitive person and player and constantly strive to be the best in everything I do. Now if you put yourself in the position of the player who killed the person before the time was up, you should ask two main questions.
1 - Do the players not like each other or do they know each other and are just messing around with each other.
2 - Did the player, or did the player not, ask to fight beforehand and the player that said to STOP ever get attacked
If question 1 is pertinent, then the player saying to stop had no right to call the player out in any way because some problems need to be settled between the people involved WITHOUT outside interference.
If question 2 is pertinent and the player DID ask to fight and it was okay to fight, then there should also be no issues as the players understand what dying before times up means. If the player DID NOT ask before attacking and the player being attacked doesn't say anything then it should be allowed as you shouldn't be going AFK mid war anyways. If the player being attacked does show signs of not wanting to be fight then there should in fact be an issue as this community is small and tight knit. We shouldn't be fighting over petty things like this. We should have more respect for each other. The only other way there should be a problem in this situation is if the player originally saying to was attacked after the first player was killed. Meaning that the player that did the killing was taking out some sort of anger towards these players INTENTIONALLY and should be addressed in some manner.
I know I don't have the final say in the matter and I am only level 116 as of right now when I am making this post mid-grind to level 150, so I don't know as much about the game and the unspoken rules as everybody else does, but if I was the one having to make an executive decision on the matter then this is most likely a good portion of the decision making process I would have taken. I also do in fact know the two players that were involved and I like them both a great deal and want them to make up and be friends again because they both have helped me out a great deal in the game.
