Whoosh, that went over your head.
The implication of his post is that aholes, to use jghn's term, like you ruin MMO games for everyone else. So the 5% like you, who are impossible to manage, are the ones who cause heavy restrictions on what exactly you can do to grief or PVP.
Because it's not that you sometimes grief other players, it's that you constantly grief other players. And there's almost always no consequence, unlike real life where even the most violent societies acting like that there'd be a good chance you'd end up hanging from a tree, "game over", so you wouldn't act like that. In an MMO you just respawn.
Your fun is to make other people miserable.
- jghn 12y agoI actually did know true RPing, quality people bandit PKs. They did actually exist. As it turned out, myself & my people would often ally with them (RPing that was a challenge, but ...) against the jerks on the server (LS) Unfortunately the number of people who said that's what they were doing and were really just buttheads far outnumbered the real ones.

- Kiro 12y agoI don't know why you presume all these things but no, that's not how it was or how I feel.
- teddyh 12y agoHe presumed those things because the terms you used, “looter and griefer”, actually mean exactly those things.
- Kiro 12y agoI don't agree.
- jghn 12y agoIMO "griefer" has a pretty defined meaning and implies a player who is going out of their way to be a jerk and, well, cause grief. I'll agree that "looter" could be understood to be a scavenger and not an inherently anti-social player. So if you just said looter I'd agree with you. When you say griefer I don't - IMO a griefer is inherently a jerk (player, not character)
