    Might seem like an odd thing for a philosophy degree, but there's something to be said about the mentality behind people who participate in this kind of thing and what the implications are for the victims/potential converts. Survey filled, good luck :)

    Looking forward to your follow up projects on nerfs and ganking. 

    There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

    I think you're about 15 years late for your PHD on the subject, but I wish you good luck (you can log this as me griefing you on the forums for your project).

    lol, actually research into the victim side of griefing is minimal. And thanks for the luck!

    I filled it out for ya. I wish it was a bit shorter, but hey, beggers can't be choosers.

    My only complaint was that there was a certain part that only allowed me to select options like "once a day" or "once or twice a year", etc etc - referring to the present time - even though I am not currently playing an MMO and haven't been for some months.

    Thanks, I might be able to fix that while its active.

    Changed to how often do / did you witness.... so the answers apply to players who no longer play now. Thanks untam3d.

    Enjoyed filling it out. Hope it was ok that I put some links in the comment boxes.

    Interesting survey. Filled it, although sometimes it was a bit hard since my experiences in Western MMORPGs are limited to 2 games only. Would be interesting to know results when they are done.
