For me if someone dares throw caltrops at us trying to defend their keep? Well buddy I have Defensive Rune I will bunny hop into them every 6 seconds!

Keep it lighthearted guys we're not looking for a**hole of the year.

    There's always someone on zone chat that's playing loud music, watching TV, has an angry mother or girlfriend, crying baby or has some kinda loud breathing issue xD

    When I read the subject header I thought you were asking about forum trolls. I was going to answer that for the most part they all use the same tactic.

    Your actual question is more interesting.

    Dragon leaped into the inner keeps upper terrace during siege. Landed behind the ad emperor. Wrecking blowed him down to the middle of our army. Sadly he died due to the fall damage.

    As a NB, make sure a keep is tagged by placing a siege, firing at a wall below 50%, go in sneak to another location, rinse & repeat. Few guys went mad...

    Stay on the edge of Alessia - Sej bridge blocking, wait for someone to charge you, step back, Flame clench. Gotta make sure the slaughterfish gets to eat...

    With 10+ guys chasing me, play around rocks and survive as long as you can. Seeing someone going slightly too fast and die of fall damage will never cease to amaze me.

    Jukes with Shadow Image has absolute trolling potential of course...

    Find a lone guy, and keep using snares then cloak. Good luck walking all the way back to a keep with 40% of your normal speed...

    Reach places that you can get to only by using Escape Bolt, and watch people attempting to reach you while /lute.

    Make sure someone crosses a river deep enough that you have to swim, then use Encase every few seconds. Had a few nice chats that way.

    When you see someone spamming heals in town, attack an innocent, and he'll also have a bounty. Woops.

    /Playdead when a zerg is passing nearby, and there are already some dead allies around.

    So many possibilities...

    My troll tactics are basically the same as for any trash mob. I pull as many as I can, start the timer on my proximity detonation, drop my liquid lightning and thundering presence, proc my Molag Kena and spam Elemental Circle.

    So many encounters at Alessia Bridge and various keeps we're made hilarious back in my days as a magblade. Flame Reach + Cloak Spam. Anyone not shielded went flying and I usually got half a dozen kills or so before they even started reacting to me lol.
    Send em down to us they would say.

    guest on a heavily populate single faction server with a friend:

    when the old Arena/Portal/Portal repeat stone farmers reach critical mass and are all gathering around the recently vanquished portal chest to loot it, two people throw down [1]shooting star & [1]ice comet into their midst. with a few inevitable detonations on top if you can get the timing right,

    can normally do something similar to the molag bal fighters in the center of IC, after they have completed the ful circuit. his death AOE tends to take most of them down to half health. bats and prox det to finish.

    I suggested this to a friend that has a much bigger mean-streak than I do, and he did it...

    Go to a newbie area and wait for that inevitable noob asking to "borrow" some gold.
    Tell them that you can go to a "moneylender" to borrow some gold if you are below "level x".
    They will ask you where they are, just send them someplace and wait for the message asking "where? I don't see him" just keep them running incircles for an hour, or so.

    In ESO this would be even easir since there are actual NPCs called "moneylender".
    Just send them to one and when they say there is no option to borrow gold just tell them there is a small bug in the game and they maye have to refresh his dialogue a few times....especially greedy noobs will be sending you messages for a very long time bitching that it isn't working.

    My favourite tactics is to demand some ridiculous P2W feature to provoke alergic reaction. But it has not been very successful lately, because my notion of ridiculous P2W feature pales in comparison with what eventually makes it into the game. Besides, players have developed some kind of immunity and are ready to accept anything and liberally give me agrees. Unbelievable.

    I take trolling to a new level. I sit under a bridge and when someone approaches, I demand they pay the toll or I will eat their bones.

    How about keep ganking the enemy on the bridge then message them " pay the troll toll if you want to pass"

    Aw, I was hoping this might be profitable!

    Maybe a troll polymorph would be scary enough to get people pay up. I will /feedback to request one.

    When an other faction capture a keep, stay hidden inside. Wait. When they repair inner potern, put oil and show them you are here. Let them try to hunt you and troll them for long moment with shadow image.
