I love griefers, they're hilarious. I especially liked team roomba. brilliant griefing there.
Seeing that comment made me feel all warm and fuzzy ^^
As i've said before, i am an occasional griefer...
I was a member of Team Roomba, and i am also a member of the Goon Swarm in Eve Online, and a member of Encyclopedia Dramatica, and 4chan, and SomethingAwful, I am a distinguished member of the internet...
From a griefer's perspective, i can tell you that we do it for the sole purpose of LULZ, and in some cases, it can actually be funny for others aswell (Team Fortress 2 griefing for example, is funny even for the guys getting griefed...)
In WoW, we are fail druids and priests INTENTIONALLY, in Eve, we steal, kill and scam everything that flies, in tf 2 we block sentries with dispensers, we make teleporter traps, we build teleporter exits in front of enemy sentries or spies that are ready to stab, we push snipers around when they are trying to aim, we uber enemy spies, we use the flamethrower in front of snipers, in left 4 dead we set friendlies on fire, detonate a million gas canisters next to them, we startle the Witch, push boomers into teammates and detonate, we keep hitting them with melee to make their views twitch, and my prsonal favorite, we snipe teammates "by accident" during a swarm attack, in call o' duty we team attack through walls and yell ACCIDENT, etc...
And i say again, i am all for griefing, but when you start hacking to grief, you are just being a complete dick...
