You are free to shoot people with bounties of course as thats the nature of the game
nope according to this forum, this is griefing too.
How do you spot griefer cmdr's?

Its also possible for a griefer to have a zero bounty .. your logic isnt correct sorry.
Can we agree that it's "Griefer" and not "Greifer"?
Thanks.
Wait, we're not talking about...
Nonsense. If I stick a gun in your face you know what I want. If you act sketchy you'll proabably get killed. Where do people get the idea being a pirate is about maximizing profit and being a gentleman? I don't usually pirate, but when I do I kill anybody that doesn't get with it really quick, I'm not playing with comms, I'm not paying for limpets, I'm not giving you a chance, and it isn't greifing. It's just business really. It maximizes my chance of survival and as a pirate why would I care about anything else? I think it's cool that people roleplay, but it doesn't make you a greifer to look out for number one, and hell it's far more realistic.
Look for big ships interdicting sidewinders near the home sectors. You can see them zoom about the system quite often.
Any idiot can pirate/bounty hunt NPCs. Where's the fun in that? Some people actually like a challenge.

I'd like to mention that those who submitted their cargo got to keep half of it, simply because my cobra has only 20 cargo.
Those who tried to run...
Well try to overrun a cobra with A class thrusters. If I let everyone go then noone would give me their cargo would they?

Surely it'd be more fulfilling to take what you can fit into your hold, and do some target practice on the rest
I've had a few players attack me and I don't have a cargo rack. Can't really call that piracy, but I think the forums have blown it out of proportion.
Piracy is still in a pretty poor state right now.
There is a post in the Groups section that would tend to contradict you. A player from the hated griefers of Eve online is attempting to start a group aimed at doing exactly that. I would be interested in knowing how that sits with the rules governing player behavior.
Easiest way is to count each CMDR you find. When you get to no. 1,000, statistically you've got a griefer. Shoot him, then reset your count.
If you mean pirates, look for CMDRs with significant bounties. Probably at least 3k as less is likely unintentional misfires during bounty hunting.

He probably meant that the number of griefers is non-existent.
Only ever met one and it was during the betageddon when most people just went nuts due to incoming wipe.
Pretty much all I have seen is NPC giving 'grief' to new players going by the forum, I think there are 2 or 3 real player pirates, but then they are pirates! Arrrrr!
You know why are we griefers? Because hurr durr he shot me.
I warned one of my prey 3 times that I wont kill him if he hands over his cargo but still goes for the FSD.
Why should I let him go? I even had a friendly barter with one of them willing to give up 15 brandy before he left.

You have hit the nail on the head, if the "idiots" (your word) can't understand that NPCs are part of the game and only attack PCs then they are a griefer. This is exactly why I've always said that you shouldn't be able to get knowledge about to target so you can choose the easy fights. Back in SWG it was more fun when you couldn't examine a player and list their skill, TKAs ents FTW.
Not all pirates disable the engine. sometimes it helps to make a point to kill the player.
Why would a some one who only goes after players be a griefer? NPC ships are easy to beat and boring. Players are unpredictable and challenging.
Finally someone that feels the same way I do.
spoken like a true griefer.
play solo play like most, don't have to ever deal with it again.
game offers no reason to multi play. It's MMo is a joke.

because the poor newbie is trying to earn some money to pay for an upgrade.
all you are doing is causing people to go solo play.
soon you will be shooting yourself in the foot because no other kiddies will be playing in your sandpit.
thats why this game is doomed for failure because there is no protection in multi play for newbies.
