In vanilla WoW Molten Core, Baron Geddon had an ability that turned you into a "living bomb". After a while this debuff caused you to explode damaging your entire party. Apparently it also affected pets, and stayed on the pets even if pets were dismissed. Natuarally people waited for their pets to get the debuf, dismiss them, and summon them back outside the instance in some heavily populated areas. Bombing the auction house, anyone?
In Diablo2, I would make a game called "Free duped SOJZ" that had only 3 slots. These would include me, the soon to be scammed, and my fake satisfied customer.
First, my accomplice and I would wait until someone entered the room. Whenever someone did, we would pretend like we were midway through the duping process. He would go through the motions I had set up, pick up his body and go OMFG SOJZ NO WAY DUDE IT TOTALLY WORKS WOW SWEET, then run to the stash to put away all his new shit. Then the new guy would be like wow... so it works... SOJZ PLZ
Then, the duping process began. I had the whole thing worked out, and kept it consistent so that I could do it to my accomplice and make the customer feel all warm and gooey. The process, IIRC, went:
1. Drop items into stash, Kill customer
2. Drop a Super healing potion on the body (to become the duped SoJ or some bullshit)
3. Run my magical SoJ making program (basically me saying "brb loading program")
4. Have customer put on his items, and pick up the potion then his body
3.5 Kill customer then loot his shit
This worked because any items on your current character would drop to the ground if you already had a body.
The best part was running out of the room with your friend and divvying up the booty. The whole time you would sit in the room, exchanging items, and laugh at all the hilarious shit over whispers we would get. 9/10 would be "OMG I'm reporting you to blizzard fagggggasdfasdf!!!" and my response would be "ya, let them know how you tried to dupe some sojz, and I'm sure they'll care". The best were the ones where I was going to get my ass kicked IRL because they found my IP.
You'd be surprised how many retards would fall for this shit. I know because thats how I learned about it
Lord Kazak trained to Stormwind - classic. He shoots shadowbolts at everyone in range with about 1000 dps. When he kills anyone he gains 70,000 hp. Truly an epic train waiting to happen.
In the golden days of Tribes, forum user Brick Toughneck and I used to spend our evenings crashing servers running the Shifter mod. The technique was to have one player on each team, and to have both players set their team's limit of satchel charges in one single spot on the map, way out in the boonies to avoid getting messed with. After deploying the absolute limit of these things, we would say something obnoxious then shoot at the satchel charges. Instead of seeing a tremendous explosion, a small red phonejack would appear in the top right corner letting us know our work was done.
I prefer griefing that is only a mild irritant. I take credit for starting the Maple Story phenomenon of stripping naked and chasing people silently making the angry face. Since I was the only person over 16 to play that game, my victim's comments were pure joy.
"what u want"
"why r u following me"
"wtf"
"OMG WTF DO U WANT"
"STOP STARING AT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@"
Why don't you make me? Oh right, there's no PvP and you can't.
In mid-2005, there was a glitch involving a boss in World of Warcraft wherein hed give you a temporary debuff that does damage to you and anyone nearby. If you happened to have a pet out, which cant die, it would bounce back between the two of you infinitely. If you brought this into town, well...
I love kneecapping stupid people with a rifle butt in Red Orchestra when they're trying to sprint for an objective under fire. And asking people with SSPANZERDIVISION LOL in their username about whether or not they are a nazi.
I don't grief for the hell of it, but sometimes it is just too hilarious not to do
The Imposter
Find an innocent player, then copy their name almost exactly. Then start teamkilling like crazy using the imposter name. Depending on the game, you can either initiate a vote to kick the innocent player, and even if you can’t oftentimes the others will do so by accident.
