Anyways, while I can understand your stressful argument, I'm talking about people that completely snap and have anger problems when team killed. Like I said, it's the same people that road rage.
I'm working off of experience here. Yes, some of it's just unimaginative team killing, but some of the funnier griefing, like when 2 people in Warcraft 3 4 vs 4 built an army of ents on each team, I wish I had joined in with something instead of raged against them. And sometimes it was because of the stats that I was afraid of ruining, which was even more stupid because that would be like diluting a lake of acid with a drop of water. But if you're playing a game so that a team killer sets you off then you might not be playing the right game.
Grief-er: Someone who causes grief? "Why would someone hate someone who causes them grief?" That's the question? Really?
Some people like to have fun by the rules of the game. Some people like to have fun by not following or breaking the rules of the game. What if I want to play capture the flag instead of "lol, I killed you teammate!"? I signed up for CTF, not whatever that guy wants to play, even though he signed up for CTF as well.
If you like it, fine, join 'em. It doesn't change the fact that others want to play the game as it was intended, and they shouldn't be forced to change for people who don't.

See, that's my entire point. You get in, you're stressed, you just want to sit back and unwind from someone being a dick to you all day... But wait! Someone's being a dick to you on here too! I... I can't see how people are suprised when people snap.oppp7 said:
It can only help when you start laughing at them and tell them they're being too serious. I've seen people with stress problems driven to tears and self harm because they aren't allowed a release of something as simple as just being allowed to play a game in peace. Of course, I'm sure a griefer like you would LOVE to drive people to self harm from pure stress. It's probably the Magnum Opus of the griefers art. And THAT is why everyone hates you.
So I shall not hate griefers when one stand and camp with a LMG and aimbot and then when I yank is guts out he screams in my ear that I'm destoying the game?
Might confuse griefers with cheaters but they both destroy the game and shall be abolished from the [Insert game here]/Internet/Earth immediately.

Try to stay away from saying anything like that. Some people might say this is a flame war and ban us for it (I've seen people get probationed for things that weren't much worse).Chipperz said:
No, I'm not a douchebag that does it to piss people off. I do it to screw around and see how creative I can get with it (such as getting a picture and name of someone from Facebook, making them on Sims 3, and then killing them in several ways; and no, I haven't done that, because that's actually kind of creepy. I just think it sounds like a creative griefing thing to do). I try to make it a sport of how much I can screw up the game when certain barriers are put up, such as no team killing. Normally if it irritates someone I'll stop.
Also, justified or not, those people with stress problems need help.
Stop trying to justify yourself. You are a teamkilling asstard like all other greifers.oppp7 said:
Ruining someone elses fun for your own entertainment needs more help then someone getting stressed out over a dickweed like you.
That's not griefing. Well, some hacking is. I'm not talking about hackers; they suck. And spawn camping is a cheap way to get kills and boost stats; it's not really griefing. I'm talking about doing stupid stuff to make the game less serious, like switching to a gun that sucks to see how many kills you can get with it.ucciolord1 said:
Well, as long as your team isn't counting on you to kill a billion guys with a super-nuke, then I guess that's fine.oppp7 said:
But usually griefing has stronger connotations, making the game fun at the expense of others. What you mentioned is harmless, yeah, but what about more serious stuff?
I really hate grifers as they waste my time and that is what gets to me. I play a lot of WoW and the most annoying thing is when I'm leveling a new character in a low level zone just to spend half my time running back to my body because some person has nothing better to do than corpse camp me.
Because ruining someone's entertainment for your own personal enjoyment is irrational and selfish, bro.
You can't justify yourself, either. "Omfg it's FUN AND CREATIVE SOMETIMES GUYS THEREFOR MY RUINING OF YOUR GAME IS COMPLETELY OKAY." No, you're still a jerk. A jerk with a basic grasp of grammar, but the point still stands.
