Iriquois posted:BF: Bad Company 2 more or less totally embraced this concept by giving the assault class a smoke grenade launcher with unlimited ammo, and the thickness of the smoke stacked. You could drop a pretty large chunk of map to near zero visibility in a few seconds. Classic. I have over a thousand smoke grenade kills in BC2. It is the Best Weapon and got me a decent amount of rage when I played regularly, mostly hacking accusations as it is not an easy weapon to get kills with at all. Speaking of BC2, lately I've found that people rage pretty hard if you use a red dot bolt-action sniper with magnum ammo. I went and recorded a few pieces of fan mail from the last time I used it a little while ago. I should get back to playing it some more to see what else I can get from people who take a 3-year-old console FPS game that seriously.

BC2 had so many hilarious gimmicks and joke loadouts the easiest way to grief me is to say that it's not the best populated BF game around, 3 years old or not.

He basically lost a week's income, but since reinvestment is slow at best in Wushu, it's not like this is catastrophic, merely inconvenient. Pissing off your guildies though, might as well just quit after that.

ANY minecraft player with braincells knows to not build their entire house out of flamable materials, especially the outside. Any half-decent minecraft player wouldn't make their house out of flammable materials on a server with fire-spread enabled, let alone have their house above ground where it can be easily found and raided.

First, rage if you run into the middle of the battle with it. Second, rage if you still use it as a sniper rifle and pick off people from across the map. I also like to use the shotgun+slugs as a sniper rifle. (BF3 even gave them scopes, right?) My ultimate troll loadout as the engineer is Remington 870 with slugs + tracer pistol + RPG-7. Shotgun for distant enemies, tracers to annoy my own team mates, repair tool and RPG-7 for close quarters.

Shotgun for distant enemies, tracers to annoy my own team mates, repair tool and RPG-7 for close quarters. Not a deliberate grief, but towards the end of BC2s glorious lifespan I made it my mission to get really good with the tracer pistol. After a fair bit of practice, I could reliably trace enemy choppers at a decent distance, as well as the ones circle strafing spawns. Nothing made tryhard apache pilot wannabes rage harder than being shot down over and over by the default rpg. I was accused of everything from being a hacker to being in DICE.

More short adventures in Dota griefing: The cheapest item in the game is the Ironwood Branch. It costs 53g and gives you 1 to each stat. Items, with few exceptions, only work for the person who bought them and do nothing but fill valuable inventory space if held by someone else. Roshan is a boss monster who sits in an exposed spot on the map and drops an incredibly valuable item (aegis) on death. It's common for people to just drop branches lategame when they need space. If the person dropping branches is a powertripping idiot it becomes my mission to be a Good Samaritan and return said branch to its proper owner, preferably just as Roshan dies. This is accompanied by 'get branched, dumbass' over teamchat as the target furiously clicks the aegis yet is unable to pick it up due to lack of inventory space.

Magres posted:My favorite in vanilla WoW was to use the Hunter ability that let you directly control your pet. Hide in an obscure corner of the zone and roam around murdering lowbies with mister kitty I did something like that in Everquest 2 with my Conjuror. Conjurors in EQ2 are mages who can permanently summon powerful elemental creatures. For a short time they can also unleash the full power of these elementals with an ability called Plane Shift. What this means is in the case of the earth elemental is that it can shrug off hits from the most powerful enemies in the game and grows bigger than a house for two minutes. It had nearly no application in groups so people generally weren't aware of what it looked like. With this in mind I went to newbie areas with the regular earth elemental in stow and ordered it to stay near some NPC guards. I then hid myself in a corner from which I could see the surroundings and cast Invisibility and Bind Sight, which allowed me to see through its eyes, on my pet I hid myself in a corner from which I could see the surroundings and when a newbie showed up I would cast Plane Shift and Possess Minion to take direct control of it. Then I would just romp around as a giant stone golem killing the NPCs in their quest hub and quite often they figured it was just an NPC the were meant to stop.

Apparently he places a low bid with his alt and then snipes it with his main to prevent people from outbidding him. For whatever reason he hosed up, and instead of inspecting the stall and realizing his fuckup, he blamed it all on whoopy. In addition, he didn't find out about this mistake until the end of the week, costing him most of the time before the stalls go up for auction again. Hemlock remains guildless.

How in the bloody blue blazes does someone possibly gently caress up that badly? Wouldn't he have had to manually place the bid on his own stall with his own alt?

I hated that daily. 10 minute quest usually turned into 2 hour PvP brawl because the area for the quest was so small. I was poo poo at PvP so that quest involved lots of corpse running for my part. Mind controlling with my priest was pretty fun though.

Pantheon on League of Legends - Building up health/tank items, wading into all 5 enemy champions. Wait for a bit, then use your ultimate to jump across half the map. "Well, bye!" Conversely if you see an enemy champion on the other side of the map with a narrow sliver of health, who's recalling, use your ultimate and kill them. "Oh hi, I thought I might... DROP IN" It's funny but people get so mad over it.

Cojawfee posted:Do you live in Utah or something or are you just cheap/poor? Well, I didn't think that statement would go all  or anything, but since you asked, I am, indeed, a poor. I live with my  FIANCE and dog in cheap-rear end housing that costs $500/month. It works when you both work minimum wage jobs, but the landlords are the worst human beings ever. We had to call the health department to get them to fix the leaking roof, mold, sparking light fixture in the windowless bathroom, broken drawers, and rotting steps leading out the back of the building. And now, just 2 days ago, we learned we will have to call local animal control to light a fire under their asses about the feral cats around here, seeing as one of them decided to surprise attack my dog and nearly cause the loss of use of its left ear. Goodbye, $700 for vet bills.  I mean, yeah, it sucks living here, but at least it's better than this time last year, when we spent 3 months homeless, bouncing from sublet to sublet while I was unemployed and broke as hell. We're working, step by step, to make our lives better though. Next month, the fiance goes back to college to finish her degree, and then she's got a very lucrative job lined up. Meanwhile, I'm in the middle of the application process for the local electricians' union. Anyway, I wish I could contribute a griefing story of my own, but I don't really have any. I spend most of my time working these days, so reading the stories is entertainment enough until I get more time to myself.

drat dude, i paid 500 a month to live in Chicago and the only "catch" to the apartment was that the neighborhood was mostly black. That and my landlords pretty clearly didn't realize that they were undercutting the market way too hard. The guys who spend a ton of money on Wushu are the best, because they inevitably realize that they've spent thousands of dollars building an MMO prison for themselves, quit their guilds, and then log off forever with more assets than most entire guilds.

So here's a story about Snail USA griefing players: Since the expansion Snail has introduced some kind of botting detection system. Players flagged by this system receive a debuff that puts a highly visible icon over their heads. That's not the only effect, though. If a player with the debuff is killed by another player, they lose most of their unbound money (i.e. tradable money), and instead of the killer receiving infamy (a system for punishing aggressive PKing - earn too much and you get sent to jail on death), the flagged player receives infamy instead. If the flagged person already had infamy they may get sent straight to jail. This system does generate false positives, but apparently it's easily cleared by relogging. Most of the people I've seen flagged are goon enemies, and we kill them on sight.

Well, I suppose you could win vs mining bots and the like, but the most egregious bots are the kidnapping and script stealing bots, and those fuckers teleport around. On the latter though, Snail seems to have done something that prevents the bots from getting the script out of the zone, resulting in piles of scripts dropped by teleporting bots being taken by actual players instead. Frankly, bots of the non-teleporty resource-gathering kind are extremely rare now. I haven't seen any since I came back for the expansion.
