Why is griefing fun?

[Taelas]

And it's pretty obvious you can't accept ganking as PvP - even though it is - due to your carebear mentality. Likewise, I enjoy ganking and griefing because I have a griefer mentality, apparently.

I love ganking people when they're in the middle of doing something, because it is fun. I don't care if they've had a rough day and just want to do this quest or that instance before going to bed or whatever; if they're that pressed for game time, they picked the wrong kind of server. If Allies are camping an area where I want to quest or do something, know what I do? I either get some friends and kick them out, or I find something else to do, whether it's something else in-game or something else entirely.

I get sick of hearing people whine about being ganked and "griefing". Yeah, it really does suck sometimes, especially if it's an escort quest or something that requires reagents (like Terokk in Skettis.) But you know what? You take your licks and you get even or you move on. Whining about it and going on some holy crusade against ganking and all gankerkind will not solve anything, because Blizzard frankly doesn't give a flying blah-dee-blah as long as you're paying their monthly fees. If anything, it's just going to make them target you even more because they know they're getting to you.

And as for "fair" PvP: who needs it? I love uneven fights; there's nothing like crushing three allies at once when they tried to gank me while I was farming. And if someone's main ganks my alt, I either escape or get my main and teach them humility.

Because of your PvE mentality, I can understand why you don't like or can't really grasp the concepts of ganking and why it's so fun, and that doesn't really bother me at all; live and let live. But when people that play on PvE servers are telling me how to PvP - and even worse, suggesting that Blizzard actually place restrictions on my activities therein - it's absolutely absurd.

The only reason why PvP servers are like that is because gankers ruined them.

As for "carebear", eh, no. A carebear is someone who refuses to PvP. I don't mind fair PvP.

You might enjoy PvP servers as they are now, but trust me -- there is a LOT of people who are on PvE servers who'd rather be on PvP servers where ganking is not as commonplace.
