Chomp8645 posted:Object overload I'm sure. The "wads of paper" is probably literal. "Paper" is in fact an in game item, and its weight and value is so low that it may as well not have either. So it would be both extremely cheap to purchase and extremely easy to fill millions of them inside a freighter. Ahhh, I was not clear on the "millions of individual pieces of paper" bit. That's great.

WoW Shamans get a suite of abilities called totems. Casting one drops it at your feet and it does whatever it does, like shooting fireballs at nearby enemies or providing nearby allies with a buff. One of these was (I haven't played in a bit and don't know if it's been changed/removed) Magma Totem, which would, after a few seconds, explode and do damage to everybody within a short distance of the totem. At some point, it was discovered that if a player dropped a Magma Totem and immediately left the game, as soon as the player left the totem would suddenly become neutral rather than belonging to the player's faction, and do damage to allied players. Very soon afterward shamans began wiping out entire low-level allied towns, with no way for the griefed players to retaliate. One notable use was to kill the level 1 characters used by spammers to advertise their wares. That latter use lead to some complaining when the bug was fixed- since the spammers mostly stuck to capital cities and Goldshire (a town just outside the human main city which is usually very overpopulated for some reason), it was rare for an enemy player to be able to get close enough to kill them without being swarmed by high-level players. So exploiting the magma totem bug was the only way to shut them up for a bit.

Shumagorath posted:Does Second Life even have a combat system or is he stuck with nonviolent resistance? Some SL areas use a combat system plugin, but all it can do is track numbers inside the plugin. It relies on the players using the plugin to abide by the plugin's output. So if an SL player refuses to use the plugin, or refuses to go along with what it says happens, everybody else can get hosed.

Iconhell was one of the better goon WoW griefs. Basically WoW lets you mark individual units, friend or foe, with big icons that look like this:  Some of them have widely accepted uses (kill the skull first, then the X, use crowd control on the moon), but there's nothing in-game to force that. Anyway, originally only the leader of a group could set those marks, but at some point a patch came out that included, among other things, allowing anybody in a group to set marks. Almost immediately, LemonKing released a mod called Iconhell to the forums. Iconhell had a bunch of options, but the main use was targeting a member of your group and telling Iconhell to set a mark on it and change that mark around 10 times a second. Alternatively, you could have it do that for everybody in your group, or you could use the Witch Hunt mode to do it to everybody in the group except the person you wanted everybody to blame- and the blame would come, because IconHell drove a lot of people completely batshit insane for no readily apparent reason, made worse by the fact that IconHell was only released at the time to the WoW forum here at SomethingAwful, so most people had no idea it even existed. Eventually Blizzard released a patch that limited how fast marks could be set, and announced to your group who had set the mark, and IconHell stopped working and became pointless. But for awhile it was an easy way to drive a certain sort of person up the loving wall.

At one point early on goons had the Honk mod. Honk allowed an individual to harass another individual by telling the Honk mod to tell everybody else running Honk to send them an email, scrolling the poo poo out of their chat. This was no doubt infuriating to be on the receiving end of, and it was one of the few times the GMs directly told GS to knock it the gently caress off, already.

Stick Insect posted:About that Reported mod, isn't cursing and swearing permitted in WoW? I remember that game had a filter for bad language; and you could just turn that off if you weren't bothered by it. No, actually- I wrote a Reported module that would cite the EULA at people and that one probably would get more rage from people who didn't want it to be true than any other.

Linking to http://www.wowgoons.com/ used to be bannable on the WoW forums on the grounds that it appears to be a solicitation for payment, but I don't know if it still is.

QuarkJets posted:I think I remember that the wow goons were one of the first guilds to hit maximum guild level so a bunch of goons ran around in one of the main cities spamming "GOONSQUAD BEST SQUAD" and "WORLD FIRST TOP GUILD" and whatnot. This pissed off pubbies, and they pointed out that some other guild had hit max level like a few hours earlier or something. We retaliated; several of us had that item that made everyone around you start dancing when you use it, plus the item that made everyone around you make train noises when you used it. So it was a wonderful cacophony of dumb voices making train noises (CHOO CHOO) and everyone being forced to dance like retards, against their will. I remember spamming "GOON SQUAD WORLD SECOND WORLD FIRST".

Force Choke worked best if you didn't try to hold somebody for any length of time, just a moment to flick the mouse up and toward a pit. They'd get the momentum and wouldn't have time to force push out of it.

The ability to point a bunch of coordinated people at a game populated by uncoordinated individuals and small groups, all of whom hate each other, has always been the goon MO, and it is always hilarious.

Selling attacks of 100 ammo at the price of 1000 ammo to players who didn't notice that the stack said 100 instead of 1000 was pretty great.

Unguided posted:Fixed. One grief right when WoW first introduced the dungeon finder in Lich King was to queue as a tank or healer for Oculus and watch the person in the other role ragequit because it meant using a mount's skills instead of their own. The DPS would usually suck it up and wait for the DF to send a replacement since they'd already waited maybe an hour and would be sent to the back of the DPS queue if they left. Oculus was such a pain in the rear end (it's a dungeon where you fly around on dragons with a special set of abilities that don't interact with your usual spells or whatever, and for at least the first six months or so you would lost at least one or two people the second the dungeon loaded) that they literally had to introduce extra loot including a shot at free mounts to get people to actually do it. If you took two minutes to actually read what the abilities on the dragons did and pay enough attention to not wander off away from the group you'd be fine, but those are skills far beyond the capacity of WoW players apparently.

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.

Then there's the scroll stealing events, where you had to steal scrolls from a school and then take them to the edge of the map. So goons just camped out by the escape points and jumped people in huge 20-to-1 ambushes and took the scrolls for themselves.
