Meh. I don't get how griefing in games in general is a problem. I can't think of one single game where there is NOTHING you can do about it. Not one. Even as it happens, most gamers have developed a natural thick skin towards this behavior and beyond all: if this game annoys you to the levels of needing anger management - you turn off the game. When a game stops being fun, it's not really a game for me anymore.
Then again, I was a ganking griefig troll on my RP-PvP server. I would often travel to Silvermoon (I was an alliance night elf rogue), sit in their roleplaying inn and lay out bait traps. It could be an RC car back when hitting it would trigger PvP. It was a light little noob trap for the, well, newb, but I taught him something everytime he hit that car. Bitch, don't hit the car.
I came with entire gank squads and patrolled the entire city looking for something to kill. We were two rogues and a disc priest (back when disc priest was an unstoppable healing mountain) and despite many attempts, we would often just sit there as long as we wanted in the name of the Alliance, killing the same horde over again. As Spidey says, "I'll keep dishing it out if you'll keep taking it". I sometimes got whispered from alts of the accounts, asking why we did it. I asked him if he saw his enemies come back to life - would he not strike them down again? Would they still not be enemies?
I got lol'd at and was told I was out of character. Oh well, I never was. Even when I taught myself how to say 'me and you naked' in Orcish (fuck that was hard).
In these endeavours, I would always stay in character. Even the Orcish was roleplayingly taught by an orc back in Booty Bay (may or may not have been my own main, but I played by the rules!) It was the rules of the game. We were allowed to be dicks because our characters were dicks. We would storm in and take over their bar, demand free booze or their throats would be slit. Should guards be warned by a passing by observer of our drunken misbehaviour? His head would roll off the stairs of the top cybor lounge where we would often start our adventures as we discovered two blood elves in heat!
I had fun. They probably didn't. I don't regret anything of it.
Except maybe ganking so many retadins just before they got their buff. God damn those boys could chase. Jesus.
This might be a bit off-topic and actually Meer wrapped this up all nicely, but I guess my roots will never let be.
(I wasn't a troll in game actually, that was more on the forum. I have 5 accounts banned on the realm forums. <_>)
