What is "grief" on Red99?

We all see the word a lot, what does it mean to you?


Peer poll for science.

Grief = forcing the other guys to raid at 4 am on a weekday while they pretend they don't care about pixels

"What is griefing?" and "What is grief?" are very different questions. Which are you trying to ask?

Then I'd argue that the poll options don't make much sense. Griefing is defined by the intent of the griefer (i.e. their primary, only?, motivation is irritating the recipient).

If someone trains my group/raid because they want to contest some pixels, their motivation is pixels and I'm pretty OK with that.

If someone trains my group/raid because they want to deny us gear, I'm still pretty OK with that.

If someone trains my group/raid because they want to wank off to the hate tells afterwards, that's griefing.
