Griefing with an emote

[Divinemight]

I have a macro when I solo people that I use when they're at about 5% hp

/em giggles, "Tihi, you were no match for me, <t>."
/chuckle motion

I don't know if they can see it but I feel like mocking an opponent is part of any game that is pvp
Like teabagging

I get so mad if someone teabags me at halo, but also fired up. It encourages me to play better so they can't mock me

You are wasting your time. Your opponents cant not see any emote message or anything you say in say mode.

oh well I still enjoy doing it

it depends. jus saying a few things someone didn't like isn't going to get you banned.

I didn't say anything about getting banned. And you're wrong, the ToS actually states explicitly that using certain language against another person is a form of harassment. Sure, you might not get banned, but that's not the point. The point is if someone wants to be a hot head and run off at the mouth, it doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to think that someone taking it personally might report them.

This has been one of the best threads I have read in a while.

For an extra $5 a month this game should include online therapy sessions for people like the OP.

Might sound wierd but I actually miss the tell/whispering. Nothing in the world like getting cussed out after you just ran over someone XD (heaven forbid you do it twice) But teabagging (especially being on the recieving end) just adds a certain magic to pvp that isn't there with normal polite killing. The motivation factor to just wrap your hands around someone's neck on a revenge kill is hugee~ *remembers the good ol days of ballista where we followed ppl out teh zone* This is also why I wish we had names back. Personal, intimate grudges are what give good PvP its soul.

who cares about being reported. people get reported all the time. no one cares about that. people care about being banned.

Glad a few posters understand how teabaggin/jumping on dead players can work well for their team. This type of behavior isn't unsportsmanlike, it's tactical. Baiting a player to break off from his team and hunt down one person? You can prepare yourself for him every time he comes to hunt you down. Especially if you bait a healer into rage mode, you pretty much took away an enemy teams heal support which could ruin their chance for a flag cap.

This can easily be solved by creating in the future a pvp focused server or a server that is un officially named the Hardcore pvp server.

Griefing is unavoidable on the internet. Just a fact that has long been accepted.
Is being a jerk? Yes
Is it unsportsmen like? Yes
Would any organized sports frown on such actions? Yes
Would any civilized military unit frown on such actions? Yes

Not a darn thing you can about it, except get thicker skin and not do it yourself.

I do find the defense of this behavior extremely entertaining. Jerks will build any reason to continue being a jerk.

I've seen players dancing on my dead body and even heard a laugh emote.
