Heh. I hate that game Runescape where I wasted a year of my life. So, I decided to go out with some fun. I trapped some kids in a room where I enticed them by dropping all my 1337 stuff. I did have some nice stuff then. Anyways I went outside the room and walked out. They tried to follow but, using a bug in the game ( No, I won't tell you) I closed the door on them from across the room. I think I kept them trapped in there for half an hour.

That was a fun one. You may not understand what happened, but I'll explain it later if I have the time. Either way the tells were hilarious.
LOl that line is too funny im gonna use it on my girl ( shes hatian)
In diablo 2 there are charm type items which you have to drop on the ground in order to trade, basically you drop something then someone else drops something and you run at eachothers item to get it. Someone was screwing with me and dropped a super rare item on the ground and kept picking it up rather than trading, so being the nice guy I was I turned his item into an iron golem. The stupid golem died within 5 minutes but it was still cool to have.
is that considered griefing? my old guild would roll in to lakeshire like 80+ strong and disrupt the whole place. thats just normal PVP. I suppose maybe the newbs couldnt quest. we jsut wanted to takeover the damn place and burn it to the ground lol
so ppl consider this griefing? bah, well then screw it I guess im guilty as charged I hated the other side (Alliance) I wanted them to all burn. it was payback for all the times I got my ass served for no reason.
one time this alliance tried to gank me and I killed her. I was nice, let her rez, then waved at her. next day the bitch finds me and ganks me with her friends. ever since then guess i snapped turned into a mass murderer til I eventually quit WoW.
in starport I started out nice but then snapped once I got ganked.
I think its just a never ending cycle of death lol
prolly not griefing but i just wanted to reply in this thread
Good luck finding a good MMA School. Insurance rates are so astronomical for you're assorted dojang/dojo/etc that unless you know where to look all you're going to find are endless variations of the "Family School" which is going to be of very limited help.
Might as well take up Weight lifting Unless you happen to live near a very good school..Most people don't take martial art's, so you can just pick up most people and throw them at something that looks painful.
If it keeps you from shooting up your school I'm all for it.
Would you like a special hat?
Your all guilty of laughing at someone else's grief at some point in time. (those of you that oppose it) In game grieving is all in good fun and brings more excitement to the game. Ya sure we may not like when it happen to us but after time has passed and you look back and remember you'll probably be laughing.
People who tend to get angry and loose it for being grieved in a game have bigger issues bothering them outside the game. If you only do what you think the game expects you to do or behave in a manner other players expect you to then you're not enjoying the game in it's entirety.. Thats just how I feel.
Yes I've been grieved. and yes I hated it... but now I laugh because it was funny that I got my head sniped off or stepped on mines set by a grieving team mate or got ran over by a tank that a grieving team mate was driving.(Soldner). Ask Tuna about how he lost it too because some newbie unintentionally caused him grief in that game..I laughed at him for that because he's Mr griever himself.
Grievers only ruin your fun if you allow them to.
I love forums. You get to read posts from people like this who skipped out on all there English classes.

LOL the irony is fantastic.
Because it feels good is exactly why it's hard to do the right thing. Do the right thing.
These days i'm pretty much a pve carebear who enjoys 40 man raids ,but i used to be different.
It's fun dueling someone or pvping people who are lookin for pvp,but
there was nothing more satisfying for me than pking a carebear.
i guess the last time i 'griefed" was probably the last day i played Vanguard.
i spent all day pking crafters in their crafting buildings in towns.
The best game to grief was probably EQ 'cause it was so filled with carebears.
I remember tricking people into talking to the Priest of Discord and turning their names from blue to red on non pvp servers;
not so i could kill them but so they couldn't receive buffs from others.
CHoo Choo, i Never alerted anyone while making a huge pve train in dungeons,it was so fun.But the best was zones with sand giants,
just running up on a group and fd ing my necro and watching the whole group wipe.It was so amusing.
In daoc once i found a spot in the old frontiers that could somehow warp you into midguard newbie areas.and i was 1 shotting mids riding on horses and stuff.Was a blast till i told a bunch of my friends and i got banned.
in swg i would run aroung and hunt down newbies who were trying to get their 200 rebel faction and shoot them only when they were doing their faction quests and they didnt even know they were flagged for pvp.
In lineage 2 i remember i had a few low level 'Instagator alts' who i would just try to piss people off and try and get them to kill me to make their name red.if i succeeded i would hunt them down with my Silver ranger and take any items they dropped.
When AO was pretty new,you used to be able to get yalms in missions from chests.
I would trick people and tell them i knew which quests gave yalms in chests and take them out into pvp gas and gank them.
In wow before bgs,probably the best griefing spot for my gnome rogue was hillsbrad farm, or with my hunter I could do some griefing
in gadz or the winterspring town with fd,The boats were fun too ,cause if you zoned before you killed them....
they would respawn back in menth harbor lol.
Unfortunately,it's getting harder and harder to 'grief" in the newer mmorpgs.
So i gave it up.Cause im really mature now and
I'm just a crafter/raiding/pve achiever carebear pretty much.
Those were the days tho.
I love when the stupid population grows at an alarming rate. I get to read threads like this. Congratulations to the narcissists of this thread who love to read their own pointless adventures.
i loved it in Everquest when the stupid population would try to roleplay....
Ogre Shammy shouts "free Wolfie feets at oasis docks!"
"tips not required,but appreciated
:):):)"
Then a little halfling runs up and bows to the ogre and they exchanged buffs.
Then they hug each other, or bow to each other and shared happy, cooperative feelings.
Maybe they believed they were roleplaying...
however, if they were truly roleplayers they would have to hate each other.
Guys like me did them a favor.
Its human nature to greif someone else, we take pleasure in pain, its you who cry in game for hours that make it all worth it.
Those precious few who stay quiet and adapt to the situation, those are the one's who actually know how to survive the greifing.
So many carebears all need to grow up and step outside of mommy n daddys protective bubble of shelter.
The only people who truely earn the title of greifer are those who do it with style and strategy, not some newbs who have to abuse bugs.
Bug abusers just need to L2P life, social engineering ftw.
~Life is a game, and I'm in it to win it.
*and do captain correct english class boyo, its their not there
6 SoL members KoS'ing all of Paldo for 6 years, yea good times.
Griefers killed my family.
The only time I ever considered doing naughty things was in Ultima Online where I grind out grand master level tinkered trapped boxes, liter them around the floor and watching greedy newbs near britannia bank and skara brae blow themselves up opening the GM trapped box expecting a treasure. It was pretty funny I admit.
Love one shotting newbs in darkshire or raven hill.
Well I never really considered myself a griefer, I guess you could say I fall under the "hardcore PvPr" category and griefing is just a daily fact of playing the game
Everyone does it at one point, cause thats the point of the server. Back in the golden days of AC Darktide was the roughest experience I have faced, no level barriers, anyone could kill anyone, looting, death penalties. It was brutal, you would have people following you as long as an hour (yes, an hour) if they spotted you. If you spotted a red dot on your mini map prepare to run or fight. It was crazy. You griefed and you got griefed. Simple as that.
In fact, people would camp people where they logged out at (there was a special way you could log out while running) and I remember a real life friend of mine playing, and the guy sat at his comp ALL NIGHT in the same spot waiting for the guy to log back on. When the guy did, I could just imagine the look on his face...priceless.
Btw, to all of the people who say griefers are losers, cowards, ppl with no backbone, ruin the game, should leave, are "ignorant assholes...do us a favor and stfu. People who grief are not like any of that - maybe they are cowards in a sense, but they are far from ruining the game. Griefers keep the game alive in a sense and dont turn it into some type of utopia. It wouldnt be fun to have every day go by and not 1 person gets on your nerves. Griefers arent ignorant assholes, theyre simply playing the game theyre way and using the mechanics to its fullest extent. And alot of the people who do say that anyway are probably hyprocrites themselves half of the time cause they did it too.
Alot of these whiners complaing about the griefers being assholes need to really shut it...its just a game folks, pissing in your pants cause someone killed you in a virtual game is a bit ridiculous.
There were 2 other fun griefing spots for me in Everquest. As an Ogre Shadowknight, my character was absolutely huge, and EQ has collision detection, so you can't just run through characters. The zone lines to Lower Guk and Solusek were notorious for trains, and it just so happened that the size of the entrance/exit area was barely big enough for an ogre. I could zone in and hang out and just block the zoneline so those poor fools running for safety would run smack dab into me, and have no other choice but to die. I could then either Feign Death, or just zone out myself to avoid the train. Many, many nasty tells and shouts were sent my way for those little experiences.
Perception is Reality.
All I want to say is people like that end up alone and misrable in the end, and they always do. Mainly because griefers like that stab each other in the back and really cant trust anyone and no other kind of person likes them or wants to be around them, I simply ignore them and you know what they hate it, they cry and complain the truth is they just dont like themselves so they feel a need to do it to others, either that or its some other silly issue deep down inside they could have a better life but they choose not to.
I simply dont let it ruin mine thats why for now on I turn off chat in certain kinds of mmorpgs, its there own ignorance if they want to destroy themselves in it there is nothing we can do but let them.
I used to love to pretend to be an NPC in the noob areas of DAOC. Id give people random quests for vendor trash type items and they'd actually spend alot of time doing them! Had to stop when I refused to give this guy who was a total ass around me teh item I promised him as a reward. Got a message from an admin telling me not to impersonate an NPC lol. Great fun while it lasted
Did you also know it is a crime to harass someone over the internet? That's what griefing is.
