Van_Hellsing Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 No, it is not worth it. Griefing is part of the game design. Grief griefers instead. Smokewood, IamCourtney, iBUCKEYE and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstev4610 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I’ve usually been able to counter griefing pretty easily but yesterday on the San denis hunting route that everyone does there was a level 160ish decimating everyone. Hat got shot off, so now I’m getting more damage. No cover. Spawn on the shoreline in the mud so horse won’t come. Just repeatedly spawn, ran up on and shot. I don’t think reporting is necessary though, easy to change sessions, parley, start doing things in a posse. If they actually implement a decent bounty system I think it will make a huge change to the way people conduct themselves. Also yesterday, I had a guy just up and shoot me while skinning something. I didn’t die so when the animation finished I put him down then repeatedly did so for maybe 10 minutes, at least 8 kills since he didn’t parley. Dude gets on the mic crying about being bullied, people start to rush me. Was I griefing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callahan44 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Better send them feedback so it has consequences for griefers to kill you. Imo its like reporting people killing you in bf or cod. It sucks the game is like that but you should mainly blame r* for their sh*tty gamedesign,not the players. Not much you can do in freeroam,nothing happens if you kill other players,you even get xp. What did you expect. Smokewood and j7n 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because some random player shoots you without reason doesn't make it griefing... https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=griefer Quote Someone, usually in an online game, who intentionally, and usually repeatedly, attempts to degrade anothers experience or torment them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griefer Quote A griefer or bad faith player is a player in a multiplayer video game who deliberately irritates and harasses other players within the game (trolling), using aspects of the game in intended or unintended ways.[1] A griefer derives pleasure primarily or exclusively from the act of annoying other users, and as such is a particular nuisance in online gaming communities, since griefers often cannot be deterred by penalties related to in-game goals.[2] This creates a strong division between griefing and cheating, since cheating is done with intent of winning the game and thus is discouraged by in-game penalties. Griefer, c*nt, asshole, you can call it what you want. In the end they're all idiots whos console/pc deserves to explode and make them blind. areyouchappin and FreeMaxB585 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's R* themselves who admit the problem exists Non-PvP users need desperately some mechanism to protect them against griefers or just douche bags, call them what you want, otherwise R* will lose a big chunk of the player base.

I disagree, as shown by a post above, grief can be caused by legitimate means too. Following from session to session for example. If you are using exploits to grief, it should be reported as cheating/exploiting game mechanics, as well as griefing. (Not to say you do of course).

Jason Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Yea no one is getting banned for killing a fisher or a hunter, no one. Nor is someone going to get banned for killing someone over and over and over, or hogtying them. It is griefing but it's also part of the games design at the moment and Rockstar can't ban people for that. It goes back to the old PvPvE lobby argument and the fact that it can never work no matter what Rockstar do. They sure do love giving it the old college try though.

Not to ride around killing everyone you see that tries to mind their own business either. Under the "disruptive behavior" in the game menu it is described as follows - "Disruptive behavior includes any action that prevents others from playing the game in a normal manner including griefing". So yes, if I just want to ride around looking at sh*t, hunt the occasional bird, fish some trout and some lowlife then think it hillarious to kill other players, that is a disruptive behavior. If you want to fight other players join any of the freemode events or, gun whatever it called, showdown, etc. But stay away from me.

PvP in public is no issue either, but for it to be PvP, both parties must be up for it too. Taking jobs that encourage it or between the players to choose to fight etc. is all fair game. PvE content is there, so it's PvE players right to want just that too. But of course, if you ask to be left alone to do just that, many see it as a sign of weakness and that it gives them the right to say 'tough, I want to fight you' If the game offers both, they need to allow both to thrive otherwise it's just the same old arguments all the time. It really isn't PvP either when one party isn't even trying to fight, lol. True PvP players get called allsorts too through just how messed up this PvPvE crap is, lol. Unfaie on those guys as well really. Pushes many to react poorly while R* just encourage it more and blur the lines more and more. (certainly in GTA:O, probably here more as it grows too).

In GTA there are in fact some (old) anti griefing measures pre-CEO era like if you blow up 20 personal vehicles in a short period of time you're placed in a bad sports lobby. Also, if you usually leave jobs before finishing them (ruining the experience for other players) you'll win a ticket to bad sports lobby as well. Killing is part of the game, I agree with that BUT, killing the same (inoffensive) player over and over for no reason forcing him changing sessions is griefing. That's what I'm talking about and that behavior should be reported. j7n, Chunkey_Monkey and Lonely-Martin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
