Great distinction between the pitfalls of playing an MMO and actual griefing.lordrichter wrote: »There's a certain grind spot that a few people go to.
Usually, people group up and pull things in the correct order so respawns are flawless. Sometimes someone comes along and start jump ahead of you. Doesn't accept invites and is just really selfish about it.
So I'll log on my NB and just fear everything he pulls until he gives up as he can't grind. Then go back to grinding my right character
Which, is itself, reportable trolling behavior.
Lol, prove it.
He's stopping other people grinding efficiently, so why should he?
And come on, nobody reports people in game unless someone is being properly abusive or racist in some way. Who reports people for trolling and why would ZOS care.
So OP, fight fire with fire
I guess I'm nobody. I do report people in game for similar things. For example, on a low lvl ALT I entered a public dungeon and ran into a high lvl VR players killing all the mobs. Fine, so I went the other way. They followed me. So I stopped. They stopped. I asked them to leave me alone. They didn't. I moved somewhere else, the followed, killing everything. I told them I would report them if they didn't stop. They didn't, so I reported them.
If you're playing the game, fine. if you are trying to ruin the game for others, problem. if you're grinding and someone comes into the area playing the game, too bad if they mess-up your rotation. If they intentially are messing you up, bad on them.

I dislike it too when some "grind squad" comes through the spots I am trying to quest in and take all the kills for themselves, especially when I am one of those "take down x enemies" or "find -item- on -mobs-" quests... but eh, way of the game.
As for the OP question, you cannot get rid of anyone who annoys you. All you can do it ignore them, move on, come back some other time, something like that. If someone is really trolling, they are aiming to create a vexed reaction. If they don't get the angry reaction they're looking for, they likely will go troll someone else. Don't be that someone else, be the one they don't get what they're looking for from.
If people do more, persist in being annoying, follow you and keep being aggrivating, and especially when it comes to personal attacks, that's when you can report them. Don't expect much unless its something hefty though, the powers that be know well enough that some sort of people report others just to troll them, and won't act unless there really was something to it.
In the end, live and let live is usually the better policy. Otherwise the questers may start reporting the grinders for "disrupting their questing experience"...
If you're level-appropriate (-5 to +5) you don't owe anyone anything. In two days, nothing that happened is going to matter because you'll all be leveled to a new area by then. Don't give me grief over five minutes of your life. We're just like Gimli and Legolas competing for kills, only we don't care about each other and I probably cleaned my ignore list out again just to ignore you yelling sexist slurs at my character.
A really low level is going to get himself killed, so just let him die and then get on with your life.
A really high level is probably working on an achievement so cut him a little slack because killing X of Y, Y of X, or all of the public dungeon bosses is just another part of the game.
Everybody good? Good.
There's a certain grind spot that a few people go to.

I run ahead and stack mobs correctly when the tards start pulling everything randomly in a fashion that makes it impossible to stack all of the mobs in one spot. This is usually done by a ballerina spinning Steel Tornado spammer who starts spamming Steel Tornado as soon as he enters the grind spot.
You're saying "usually people group up and pull things". You are aware that people grind for XP? You know you get less XP with more than 2 people in the group? I accept your group invite, and then I leave your 5 man group because it's counterproductive for me when grinding XP for CP. Sorry for not wasting my XP scrolls and potions on your 10 man group spamming Steel Tornado.
Once I see that your group doesn't know how to stack mobs, I put on speed buffs and drink stam pots and run ahead of your short bus group and tag everything in the area. Then you come behind me and kill it all and I get XP from your kills while I'm already an area ahead of you.
