What is the purpose of griefing?

[Average white guy]

Really, what is it? Do people who grief do it to compensate for their miserable life? or are they acting out scenarios they wish they could do IRL?

[I.haigh]

It's funny to hear people's reactions. My favorite one is "WOWWWWWWWWWWW REALLY?!"

[El Zodape]

Welcome to humanity.

because it's fun, obviously, plus, it provides a valuable service to the community in my opinion.

I don't think griefing is fun. I will admit I have killed other players, but after doing so I kind of felt bad about it. So I guess you do have to be an asshole to kill someone over and over and laugh at them.

The missions are starting to get boring so griefing offers more entertainment, even if it means getting my ass kicked at times.

16 bombings in the United Kingdom isnt enough to make news on CNN or even RT. Talk about self serving propaganda media who couldnt care less about news.

Just like any other form of bullying they validate themselves by making themselves feel superior to others.

The reactions can be very funny or interesting. Today I griefed a low level British girl and she was complaining over her mic, still friendly. After I noticed that player seems to be a little 11 year old girl (I can tell by the voice and she told another guy that she's 11), I stopped griefing her. I picked her up with my car and we did some stuff with aircrafts at the airport. Things you can't do with most of the high level players because they get bored very quick and decide to leave or to pop some bullets in your head. High level + low level = often great fun. Just by the way.

 

There are different reasons why people grief. Some do it because they like to hear the reactions. Some do it because they are bored. Some do it because they are psychopaths. Some do it to feel strong and cool ("yeah don't mess with I'm elite motherf*cker!"). And another reasons.

Griefers have usually been abused. It's a sad cycle. lol!

[Beach Bum Bandit]

Killing players isn't griefing.All these bitches whining about being killed should go play Zelda or some other little bitch game.

[Average white guy]

People like "Beach Bum Bandit" cool name by the way, ruin the fun of Online.

Just saw this. I'm sure it was innocent but a little creepy sounding and probably illegal in real life. Just sayin..
