There's nothing wrong with griefing unless you're just plain fucking people over; ie. some asshole hacker killing everyone on a DayZ server. There are ways to grief that are fine, especially when there are people that can just kick me if they get sick of it anyways. It's just another way of playing the game; you're not doing anything that'll get you banned. I recommend watching darksydegeoff's videos to understand why griefing can be flat out hilarious. Yes, it's schadenfreude, but like I said, it's easy to get away from griefers as long as they're not hacking. I do not, however, condone things like just sitting in the corner while your teammates do all the work; if you're gonna grief, at least put in some effort.

EDIT: There are also a number of other griefers who are quite enjoyable to watch, eez fun.

I really only counter-grief, with the exception of some of my friends on a Minecraft server. Once, a friend went away from his keyboard for 2 minutes, so I scattered pressure plates around him and put up a sign saying "Don't move."
I didn't actually put any TNT around. It was glorious.

Most of my in-game trolling happens as a result of people being pushy and taking the game too seriously, usually in the form of amplifying the noob behavior they complain about. In Gears of War, my friend and I would try to be the last two on opposing teams, and run the clock out with long-distance, boring sniper battles with deliberate headshot misses on still targets and plenty of jamming.

In TF2, sometimes I enjoy behaving like a spy to distract my team into chasing me, and creeping up to buildings and intel slowly in front of engineers. I also like the question "which one is *insert class*?" when someone is giving me shit.

I don't apologize, but in my time with Halo 3 I loved screwing people up in Forge mode. This includes launching Wraith's at people extremely fast, relocating spawn points to the most inconvenient places, or making a conspicuous teleporter that leads to a large box full of constantly spawning and exploding fusion coils/propane tanks.
Oh, and I've done my share of Minecraft griefing. I never destroyed anything people put lots of work into, I just acted like the biggest idiot I could and hoped that I didn't cross the line where it became obvious. For the most part, people bought it, save for a few guys.

"Hay guyz, wen do i get my 1st perk??"
"Y do u liek this game when the graficks are soooo bad?!"

I can only remember one time where I was full-on griefing other players... Normally I'm a good boy who likes being complimented for his good done to others, and not bad.

It was a custom game for WC III, widely popular, and was basically a sort of team-based tower defense where you can spend your gold on workers to gain additional income or on towers to suppress the waves of enemies more fluently.

Now, I had little to no clue how to play this game, as my brother was the only one playing. So, as I had absolutely no respect for the game, and my brother asked me to 'take over' whilst he had to do something else... The griefing began.

It was quite early on, so players were only just establishing their economy and towers and such. And me? Well, I just wanted to sit down by the cork-tree and smell the flowers... Mmmmm.

And of course, since it was a widely popular game, and these people had maybe played 100-200 games outright making it serious business, one of my mates picked up on me slacking off. He CAPS-LOCKED obscenities at me and called me, or actually my brother, a noob and such. Very, very vulgar was he, and very very mad. I just replied with the most retarded shit imaginable at all times with not a care in the world.

And so, the !votekicking began (!votekick Playername is a command you could issue and it would create a democratic way of getting a certain player out of the game). He was quick to issue it after I called him a turd you had to flush twice. BUT ALAS! I was surprisingly not vetoed out of the game! The votes of !yes were highly lacking, not enough to support my dumb ass to being kicked out of the game. Shortly thereafter, my brother returned and found himself the prime object of hatred from his one peer, as the others didn't give too much of a shit.

Sigh:

Quake 2
a) Hit /id in the console and then with one of my clan mates just target named individuals.
b) With the same buddy find clan servers for low division teams and just purple monster them to dead.

WoW
I play on a pvp server, I think everyone else has covered the basics pretty well on the fun to be had there. Have to take my hats off to some of the horde who had a kill on sight from MANY of the server guilds (sadly RIP TVC).

One specific mention was the entrance of the Icecrown Citadel. It has a long enough corridor to burn some one down before they could porral out. With some lockdown spells you could fear them back out and keep it going. So you get there early for the designated raiding nights and 'gank' the hell out of anyone who came along.

Eve
Leaving cargo boxes in spawn/starting areas. When a noob opens them (after being offered the contents or the like) they flag for PvP and Bhoom!

Minecraft

Many ideas already done but best ever is the obsidian box around a spawn point after digging up some ones bed. When they die (and they will die) they re-spawn with nothing in a place where they cannot escape from.

People in online fighitng games often give me hate filled messages, because I supposedly spam and me using the same move somehoew means they cna't ebat me...not sure how that works.
I imagine I also annoy people when I'm trying to do a combo and keep failing, so it looks like I'm spamming something simple instead of trying to do something else and failing.

Otherwise, I do grief, but only to people who deserve it or if it causes no permanent damage.
