Are you crazy? Of COURSE griefing hurts the population.

You don't think anyone said "fuck it" when they were killed without provocation on the boat, or 10 zones away from their bind point, etc.? Sure griefing was a part of classic but it wasn't nearly as common as it is on red99.
Is griefing the only problem? Of course not. But if you think you're helping the population every time you corpse camp someone, you're delusional.

Those aren't the type of players who would stick it out in the long run anyway.
If you signed up for a Red server without the expectation to get your ass beat down, camped, and trained many times for no particular reason, you should not have come. From what I've heard, Blue is a wonderful server. Why not play there instead? People came here for a challenge, for murderous, bloodthirsty wars.
For the record, I don't corpse camp people. I share an anti-pk mentality like yourself, and, also like yourself, I'm at a loss as to where to go because on a server where excess griefing isn't permitted, there's really no role for an anti-pk player to play.
I'll agree that there are more people with a 'griefer' mentality on Red99 than on live servers. All the more reason to allow it, imo. Might actually give people incentive to kill people. Right now, it's barely worth the mana unless you're fighting for the right to camp pixels that steadily lose value as more and more of them are produced for less and less players.
