Griefing with an emote

[Divinemight]

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

You wont see the actual emote message such as A is laughing at B. All you see is laughing animation with sound but you have no evidence that player is using it against you when GM is retreving the log. All GM see would be is "Player A is laughing loudly"

This function is taken away by SE on purpose to reduce number of claims they would receive because of PvP players griefing.

Seriously, people complain about this? Ha, bet you guys have never played a online match of Halo before then.

yea......I can't help but /sit /changepose on some DPS who tries to rush in on my SCH and LB me, just to have me survive (thank you VIT gear), Lustrate myself back to full HP, then DOT them to death.

My SCH just had an entire team ignore everyone but me, trying to kill me, and if i survive, you can bet your life i'm gonna park my virtual ass on them. And yes, i do this alot because guess what happens, they get pissed and focus me down, that's fine, they get tunnel visioned and die again.

Call it disrespectfully, call it rude, call it whatever you want. At the end of the day, it is a game that people are taking WAY to seriously. If I can cause you to lose your cool and win, I am going to do it. Stop getting so touchy over someone sitting/dancing on your character in a game. Do not compare actions taken in a game to have the same morale weight as those in real life.

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 though, except get thicker skin and not do it yourself.

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

This.

I view it as a form of trash talk, which is very common place in a lot of professional sports, from boxing to hockey to NFL
Psyching out your opponent can be a useful tactic, and if they are angry they sometimes fail to think rationally.

Dance like the dead is watching.

Lol people cry about this stuff? I swag all over people if it was a hard earned victory, /dance and champagne pop and all. People swag all over me when they win too. It's just how it goes. You laugh it off to yourself and call them a chump or give them a GG. Some losses too can be pretty epic and worthy of victory dancing from your opponent. If it was from a true PvP noob, just run them over and swag even harder over their dead bodies.

It's all a game.

Ironically you can take advantage of /emote antagonists as well. Most people who do this (especially noobs) usually get mad if you get them back with an emote of your own after killing them. They'll usually abandon their overall goal to track you down and kill you -- you take advantage of this fact, if he's a particularly annoying DPS or healer. It's just one more situation that you can add to your arsenal for more kills.
