Griefing with an emote

[tehomegaking]

I played in WD for months on end and was paired with a bot match after match after match. He went on to hit r40 from loses and acquired multiple sets and as far as I know, was never punished. And you think SE care about you dancing on players corpses? Keep dreaming those of you who can't handle pvp players.

whatever the OP said was nonsense. I played in WD for months on end and was paired with a bot match after match after match. He went on to hit r40 from loses and acquired multiple sets and as far as I know, was never punished. And you think SE care about you dancing on players corpses?

People have been banned for dumb stuff like getting kicked from party via vote-kick. Would NOT be surprised if someone got suspended (at minimum) for griefing people. SE caters to crybabies.

I'll be honest, I've done it before to encourage dead people to move on; i.e. they've died and they're waiting around longer than their respawn time to see if the flag gets undefended. As soon as you start a Manderville over their head, they port right out. It's calculated, and by no means malicious (God knows, doing a Manderville assures you're gonna get targeted by the entire alliance on the next wave. Only an idiot would bother doing it to be a punk.).

Also, as a note, a Manderville is uniquely effective for this sort of thing! I had a whole new appreciation for that e-mote when I watched my character doing it. Super effective!

Your statement is lacking dimension. If it's a matter of people getting vote-kicked without justifiable cause (say, 3 others ganging up and kicking someone JUST BECAUSE), then yes, that's a punishable offense. Beyond that, nobody's getting banned for using things as intended. And taking the hardline, "anyone who complains is a crybaby" stance won win any points here. A lot of times, there are rather valid points behind what someone might otherwise pigeonhole as someone being a "crybaby".

In this particular case, I'd say what I said before: spiking the ball/doing a touchdown dance in itself isn't griefing, but if someone's getting excessive or specifically targeting you repeatedly for it, then yeah, that's going too far.

I'm sorry of my dimensionless 5 second post offended you =/.

But, thanks for extending it. Didn't feel the need to fully explain it as I thought it to be common sense for everyone.

As for the crybaby comment, it is true that SE does caters to crybabies. Look at how many nerfs EASY dungeons such as AK had. And these echo buffs just because some people can't do instances like Titan HM or the FCoB. While some people may argue that "SE is only adding echo buffs to boost people into doing SCoB and harder content", I find it ridiculous and unnecessary. The real reason SE adds echo buffs for crybabies is so they don't lose a player's $13 or $15 monthly payment. If a person can't beat something over a while, some may quit. I've had a whole FC I knew back when I first started "disappear" because they couldn't complete harder dungeons.

which ruins games because it encourages a mass breed of players who don't learn how to play their classes or how to deal with monster mechanics. thus everyone pays for it because we are all then forced to play with baddies game after game after game and get nothing done no matter how high that echo buff is because the problem is the player, not the environment. i can't count the times ive gotten damn near close to the echo cap and still be one of the few men standing on Titan HM because baddies got blown off from Landslide or died to Plumes; had to do so many resses from Plumes that I went oom behind it. the times you want to just play the game solo, you end up getting grouped with these same baddies that jus ruin the game experience altogether.
