What happened to all the griefers and gankers?

[AzraelDirge]

I Unfortunately, I think I've got what appears to be a better understanding of the griefing. Does this definition sound about right "show a lack of emotion, especially the social emotions, such as shame, guilt, and embarrassment".

That's from a summary definition for something that apparently affects 1-5% in the USA. I'll leave it at that.

Man, the webmd sociopath diagnosis never get old. Good thing you're qualified to make psychiatric diagnosis, working off of blurbs from the internet, based on the behavior of people in video games, and their interactions on texts based forums. My girlfriend is gonna be devastated when I tell her how much time and money she's wasted on med school, working towards being a psychiatrist, when she could have achieved the same result by googling some symptoms.

I have a personal theory on the difference as well, but it's a little less reliant on buzzwords and questionable diagnosis. I think the people you refer to as sociopaths have a firmer grasp on the difference between fiction and reality, and the ability to act like a bad person in a fictional medium while being a perfectly well adjusted individual in real life.

Great Video. Very entertaining, and informative


Edit: With regard to the fight with the Anaconda, did you become the one wanted because you had report crimes off?

I believe so, I ussually dont pay attention to wanted/clean status of other ships.

Farseer... G1 Plant, G3 Dirty Drives
Dweller... G5 Power Distributor (Charge Enhanced)
Cheung... G5 Shields (Thermal Resist), G3 Boosters (Resistance Augmented)

Outside of armor mods those engineers should give you everything you need harden your ship against most attacks. The progression gives defensive players an early advantage (and doesn't even require combat).... almost as if it were designed that way

For G5 armor you will need to unlock Blaster and Selene.

(And between Dweller and Blaster, you get access to perfectly good offensive mods as well).

You know whats the funny part about all of this? My shields didnt drop even once which means you dont need any armour or hull modes at all. I would also put reinforced prismatics which will give you even more MJ of shields, but as you saw even a regular shield is more than enough to survive.

True, but armor is always good in the event your shields do go down. But yeah, if you're rehearsed on your escape procedures that shouldn't happen often.

So fed up of getting blown away while just minding my own business so I decided to do a reverse grief.

I brought a stock Sidewinder, out fitted it with an FSD and better thrusters and went looking for griefers. I did not have to wait long, got interdicted buy an FDL, part of a 3 wing the other ships being a cutter and a clipper. Well got killed instantly.

What was the point of that?

According to the new crime and punishment rules a powerful ship that kills a clean inferior ship- Sidewinder being the smallest will get hit with a huge bounty.

My rebuy was half thanks to the new notoriety system.

Went straight out again and looked for the gang.

Interdicted the FDL, he did not want to engage me and kept running.

I kept interdicting him, rammed him and died.

Kept doing this to him and his mates, imagine the scene of an Elite status Cutter fleeing from a stock Sidewinder.

Kept it up for hours, some other players winged up with me and in the end the gang gave up coming to the system. Haven't had so much fun in ages.

After a while kept getting message that they 'deactivated datalinks' would that make a difference?

Really got to them, they started messaging me but I could not read any of it, as it was blocked out for some reason, one word came through which was 'pidor' According to google its an insult in Russian, I just messaged back 'lol'.

Griefers don't like being griefed it seems.

There I was spending hours and hours grinding for a ship then grinding for all the engineering resources while all I needed for revenge was almost a stock Sidewinder, don't know how I feel about that to tell truth.

And that folks is all the answer you ever needed - don't get mad , get even.

Heavy duty with deep plating on light weight gives 80% more hull integrity with no downsides in 3.0. I can't see any reason to not fit at least that one.

Brilliant repost sir, I firmly o7 you!!

Been doing something similar for a while now. My home is Shinrarta Dezhra and as you may well know this attracts all the naughty boys and girls, so if i get interdicted coming into Jameson, i avoid them, get into my home station and pull out the speedy iCourier, then go a hunting these gangs. I interdict them and run, repeat, repeat, repeat, then comes the foul and abusive text message, i repeat the interdiction.......After about an hour they give up and either log off or go to another system.

Simples!! Grief the Griefers GfG rules OK!!

Hmmmmmmm Interested, and something to try.
