Harassment in Frontline

[Ryuko]

The nature of frontlines prevents a lot of one-on-one harassment because most of the time you are fighting large scale battles, but there are occasions where you can get 'griefed' (aka, people jump and dance on your body), and I would do your best not to let it get to you. There's nothing you can do if someone LBs you and honestly... I would feel honored if someone wasted an entire LB just to kill me. =P At least, that's how I felt when a DRG did it to me (when I was a SMN) a few hours ago. I totally had him dead to rights because I had equanimity but he killed me with his LB... haha. I would personally save LBs for gamechanging situations (like a much-needed base) or securing PvE kills in mid.

As far as PvP is concerned, griefing in this game doesn't occur NEARLY as often as other games. I've been doing frontlines quite a bit lately and I haven't seen TOO many situations in which players truly grief another. There was one time that I know I really annoyed another player, but it wasn't really griefing. A paladin was alone protecting a base and I waited until he ran out of the circle and then bound him there (swiftcast+tridisaster) and then stood on the flag while it slowly changed, doting him up and killing him off. I felt kind of bad but... 'outsmarting' people is the nature of the game. And... 1v1 is really unbalanced (hence why they won't add dueling to the game). I think SE made a good call when they decided to label people by their classes but didn't allow you to communicate or even emote with opposite teams. I suppose you can SEE what they emote, but you won't notice the text.
