SpaceViking posted:Pallies got that taunt super late into LK, I think that was either late Ulduar or the Tournament. So early Lich King pallies had no taunt. No. Righteous Defense was added at the launch of Burning Crusade. It is a ranged taunt that taunts 3 enemies that are targeting a friendly target. About 2 months into Wrath (patch 3.0.8 ?) they got a regular ranged taunt.

Eventually Blizzard put some damage on that pally taunt but didn't make it exclusive to tanks, so every idiot paladin dps would use it in their rotation and constantly piss off the tank.

There was a pretty good grief in Team Fortress Classic, where on the capture the flag map Well, you could actually clip out of the map in one of the teams bases (I think it was red?). If you did a conc jump (you could use the physics of the concussion grenade to propel yourself really high or far) you could clip out of the map and then jump on top of the map. So what you'd do is grab the enemy flag, and then just jump onto the level, making it impossible for your team to score.

Regalingualius posted:To briefly explain for anyone not in the know, Goldshire is infamous on at least one realm (Moon Guard) for being a hub of erotic roleplaying. If you can think of anything, no matter how niche, disgusting, etc. it is, odds are good you'll find someone with a fetish for it in there. I know this is pages later and old as gently caress, but i rolled a human priest on Moon Guard and went around Goldshire condemning all the Sinners and whores while trying to get them to renounce their wicked ways and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Then another Priest came along and tried converting me to the ways of Pastafarianism and be blessed by his noodly appendage. I think he actually made a very compelling arguement and caused me to renounce my faith and join in spreading the word of FSM.

My favorite Day Z ones always have to be the creepier ones. The stalking lunatic was hilarious. I'm too lazy to search for it but there were a few that were executed really well. One was a dark house and this guy was seemingly playing a numbers station over mic chat and hardly moving. The other had a lantern and was playing Tiny Tim.

I made this six years ago. We were the chopper pilots that brought the goons into the little town we were in, but when we landed one of them climbed out and shot our tail rotor until we couldn't fly anymore. Instead of getting out and trying to help fight the dudes in the town we went looking for bitches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQqULQNlLJc

I doubt this is possible to find, but years ago someone posted an audio recording of some staged goonswarm "clan meeting" in Eve after they scammed some guy into paying to get in. It ended up turning into some ridiculous argument about the clan needing to follow the bushido code and people yelling "strawman" over and over

Very late in vanilla (or possibly very early in BC), I, a warlock, out-rolled a rogue for the shadowfang sword from shadowfang keep. Then I equipped it, right there, in front of him. gently caress the 900+ gold it was worth at the time. The rage in party chat was worth every copper and more.

While I realize that some people take WoW way too seriously, being on the receiving end of the situation you pulled, that's a really lovely move on your part. I had been raiding Ulduar every week when it first came out, topping DPS for my guild on my DK, and when a paladin that logged in for the first time in two months came along, they gave the Worldcarver Axe from Ignis(I think?) to him because "he's a friend", I got legit mad, then took a look at my life and realized I was getting pissed over a loving game. Back to my original point, what you did was a poo poo thing (unless the Rogue was being a douchebag, then I guess it' was warranted)

Sjonnar posted:I'd be interested in hearing your definition of "griefing" and why it doesn't include simply being an rear end and a shithead for no reason. Rolling on loot to be a shithead is kind of like someone trashing someone's construction in Minecraft. It's a low effort grief that's about as easy to do as it is unfunny. poo poo, more often than not people just assume you're a greedy dick rather than an unfunny one. Which means that they won't even react to it. Since for a long time a lot of the "drama" in WoW was over people teaming up and being best buds up until that one rare item dropped. At which point the knives would come out and people would start posting all sorts of inane poo poo on the forums after everyone just "happened" to misclick and roll need at the same time. It's a good example of that "Hell is other people." saying, though. Part of the grind in old school MMO's was that everyone was going to be a cutthroat motherfucker about loot the second it became "profitable" to do so. And every guild that could do the content at the end game tier was basically an insular circle jerk trying to find new and increasingly obtuse ways to justify hoarding purps for the higher ups/inner clique. It was like EVE, but somehow even more insular and pathetic once you realized what was going on. The drama over loot did occasionally produce some amazing meltdowns on the forums though. Which promptly looped back around to being unfunny when a bunch of stories broke of hardcore grinding types over in Asia tracking down and murdering people over stolen loot/other similar crap.  Edit: Some of the forum meltdowns might be pretty good to post here, at least. I think the WoW forum reps actually trolled the playerbase a few times after it became apparent how loving terrible they were. And I think at least one had a meltdown and basically went apeshit on the players being annoyingly whiny nerds before quitting. Archonex fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Sep 29, 2015 |

Stuntman posted:drat, this avatar/post combo is perfect. Not a dozen or so pages ago people were bitching about unfunny griefs being posted by that Mygot guy. And that isn't the first time either. Feel free to keep bitching about people pointing out lovely uninspired griefs though.  Anyways, MMO griefing stuff that's actually pretty clever: I can't find the original story now, but for awhile there was a way to mimic items in EQ. This guy abused the hell out of it to basically play an illusionist who would gently caress with people and lure them to their deaths through their own greed. What he'd do is drop a gold coin on the ground and mimic it, turning himself into the coin. Then he'd pick it up and lie in wait for some money hungry player to come along and assume that someone was just leaving cash on the ground. When they ran to him to try to pick it up he'd either stay still and confuse the hell out of them (Since they couldn't actually pick up the fake coin he was impersonating.) or they'd slowly move away from the player as they kept constantly trying to grab the coin. Of course, some people wised up and had a laugh. Others though weren't that bright. They'd get hyper focused too easily. Or think that if they could just find the right moment they could get that damned buggy coin. So he'd run away as they ran towards him, and they'd chase him, and eventually the player would find themselves being lead into a group of mobs that would utterly mutilate them. Of course, EQ was pretty lovely when it came to death mechanics. One death meant losing hours, or sometimes even days of work. And you had to do corpse runs to recoup your losses. Which meant that said greedy player was left trying to figure out how the hell they were going to get their corpse back from the horribly lethal mobs that were camping it.

The doom peel was great, but not really a grief. I like the stories of how a few mods on goonstation went to other SS13 servers that were FAR more strict and rp focused, and some of the ridiculous crap they would ban you for, like calling catboys catbeasts and screaming in fear when you saw one. Banned for racism. I am sure I am butchering the story but it is deeply buried in the SS13 thread, or possibly the goonstation forums my favorite personal greif is making it my lifes work to nuke telesci whenever people used it when i rolled traitor, typically stranding them. for a bit there a lot of new telesci locations were being added, and I would just make and give away 'bombs for the away team to use' and usually a traitor would get one or some idiot crew would set it off. I did eventually get temp banned for doing that a few too many times
