Why are griefers hated so badly?

Because there is no point to it. With cheaters with God mode mods, your K/D ratio means nothing, there is no real point to killing a random player over and over, since it costs money in ammo for little in RP, and very rarely any money.

 

There's a lot more to this game than running around being a mindless moronic psycho bully that does not discriminate between which players they kill in freemode.

My money's not gonna run out for another 20 years, and once you get above 120 what is there left to do?

 

Don't ever use the word bully to describe anything virtual ever again.

So...killing randoms over and over until they leave is bullying now?

There's achieving platinum awards, some of them need a good crews, which is hard to do if you kill everyone you meet instead of building trust and making some allies.

Hmmm. VIRTUAL BULLY. better?

 

Look, if all you want to do is psycho kill people, just play death matches over and over, rather than griefing people in free mode. You get scored for it, rather than just upping a meaningless KD ratio.

If you're getting sand in your vagina over a "virtual bully" I think you're as much to blame as the opposing party.

 

And no, killing someone in GTA using the methods available, and playing by the rules isn't "bullying" not even remotely.

I do it sometimes, it can be annoying, but either leave or go into passive mode (god mode only exists I assume on PC and last gen) no one will blame you if you chose one or the other.

It may be by the rules, but it is still bullying. Look up the meaning of that word if you don't know what it means. If you get reported enough for griefing, you will end up on servers where everyone griefs on each other, which is appropriate.

Just look for people who like it and play with eachother. Just because you can doesn't mean you have to. And if someone says that he does not like it and you still continue... yes that is bulying, because you force them to do things they do not like, simply as that.

Because people like you i am forced to play not in public rooms. I do not care much, because i have fun with doing missions and racing and freeroam alone or with only crew is more than ok for me. But it is still too bad i have to.

 

/edit: pattent trolls play it by the rules when they sue other companies... still it is often just bullying. If it is by the rules says nothing about bullying or not.

 

/edit 2: But i do not hate them, i only do not like to play with people like them so i just leave and have fun somewhere else ;)

I got no problem with a few psychos out there, but when 90% of players act like a mindless psychos it gets rather annoying. Some people play for money and RP, not to kill weaker players just because they can.

If you don't wanna die, go into passive mode, simple..

 

 

You poor little squeeker. If all you want to do is kill people, choose another game. Simple.

GTA might not be the Sims, but it's not Call of Doody either. If your idea of fun is killing people over and over again, all the time 'errytime, be my guest. But it's not my idea of fun. I'm entitled to my opinion just like you are to yours.

 

As far as I'm concerned, do whatever you want as long as you're not hurting yourself or others. We'll agree to disagree and we'll each go our separate ways. You'll do your thing and I'll do mine.

 

But that's the problem, isn't it? Griefers don't just want to have fun. They actively need to ruin the fun of others. They try to cause grief to others to hide their own insecurities. They need to put down others to feel better about themselves.

 

It's convenient to hide behind the veil of virtual anonymity to excuse the pitiful behavior of trying to cause grief to others to feel better about ourselves. Fact remains there are real people behind the pixels. Virtual bullying is a thing precisely because too many people can't or don't want to realize that.

 

At the end of the day we're all randoms to each other. It's real easy to put down others to feel better about ourselves but when we stoop that low, we're the real losers because not only have we lost our respect for others, we've also lost our own self-respect. Sad, really.

 

Note that there is an important difference between someone who merely plays freeroam all the time and a griefer. They are not necessarily the same.

It's also within the rules to use a prostitute's services, then kill her afterwards to get some money back. Most players have done this once, just to do it. But if someone obsessively does it over and over again because they derive pleasure out of it, I would suspect there are some real problems in the mind of the person behind the controller.

 

Same thing with someone that obsessively emulates being a psychopath, a person with an extreme emotional mental defect, that allows them to kill without reason. Sure, it might be interesting to do for a while, but to always play like that? At the very least, it has to get boring after 1000th kill or so.

There are a lot of young players who use video games to make real life friends....

 

They're usually the ones honking the horn at you and sending apartment invites

 

They get very upset when you kill them for no reason :lol:

They don't want to die but they also want to be able to use their weapons against AI/NPC for other purposes the game provides that isn't PvP.

 

But I'm sure you are the griefer that leaves when they are being bested. ;)

I LOVE griefers... and trolls.

 

Id be lost without them.

 

Mainly because i only attack griefers and trolls.

 

 

I get no joy from attacking friendly players, its tooo dull. But trolls... i love going after them.

 

Because preventing them from griefing and trolling.. gives me joy.

Bullies like to pick on people minding their own business. Having a fight on equal footing with people who are ready and want to fight back is not really a bully's thing.

Lmao, OP thinks he's hard because he kills randoms. Why don't you join us bad sport players or a DM instead of getting easy kills on non-hostile players?

I will kill anyone I encounter in FR but if they don't look like they are interested in fighting me back afterwards I would not keep killing them over and over, that really is bullying.

 

I also target the pink/red dots as priority as I know their looking for some PvP action too which means I am not exactly "griefing". I do however like to just mind my own business in FR and do other things instead of mindless killing, it all depends what I fill like when I jump into a session really.

 

To be honest I couldn't play this game solely without PvP but also I couldn't play it if PvP was all it had to offer. I like doing everything in the game and that means PvP and non PvP fun.

If I encounter grievers I simply find another session. I really don't care about KD ratios and getting revenge. I much prefer hooking up with like-minded gamers to have fun and make money.

Because theyre annoying, tactless, and most likely unloved in their real lives?

That's why I just grind Heists over and over. I got tired of the bitching from players who took a game way to serious.

Griefers are hated because even R* known about them. That's why they've nerfed a lot of the OP Pegasus vehicles.

OP lacks self esteem, is being ignored and avoided in an online videogame, starts thread in order to gain attention (insert sad face)
