Hehe, yeah. I love taking out expensive vehicles because even though they can be repaired, it's going to cost them ~500k to do it.

To anybody who thinks that this wasn't griefing -- reread the original posters message a little more carefully.

Griefing is when the primary motivation is not to improve your own playing experience, but when you are intentionally trying to hurt another person's playing experience.

There's absolutely no problem with shooting a jedi's ride when it helps you complete your mission. They may not appreciate it, but the primary goal is to help yourself kill that jedi, and it is in no way griefing.

What came across as griefing to glarg, is the initial posters enthusiasm over doing so. Not a matter of fact of thing that he had to do in order to get his mark, but something he didn't need to do, but deliberately waited for specifically,independently from attacking the jedi. There is no advantage given to him for blowing the jetpack, he did it as stated, so the jedi would need to spend 500k repairing it. This is undisputably griefing, however you feel about jedi or bh. Anytime you go out of your way to cause harm to another player, without gaining anything for it yourself, you are griefing.

At the same time, the jedi was engaging in griefing if he was deliberately trying to triple incap the BH, when he had a chance to deathblow.

The biggest problem with Jedi/BH relations is when players on either side turn it froma war in which they are each driven by personal rewards, to a case in which they just want to cause damage to each other. This turns it from a possibly fun and interesting game dynamic into one laced with hate and spite, where it's hard to watch a single fight without seeing both sides try to grief each other as much as possible.

Griefing?

It's the Jedi's fault for jetting around in public when he's on the terminals.

What is with kids these days and labeling ever single thing they don't like as 'griefing'??? Sorry, but not everything ingame ismade of gingerbread, cookies, and lemon drops. Not everything is going to be 100% fair. If you want that go play a FPS. This is an MMO and we are bounty hunters. I am going to use every tactic to my advantage when trying to kill my mark. I will blow up swoops, BARCs, and jetpacks. I will wait until you are at half health before I jump you. I will use everything in my arsenal to give a Jedi XP Loss. Absolutely NONE of this is griefing. These are actions we can do because the developers put them ingame. If you don't like it then I suggest you wear a helmet because things won't get any easier.

Kids? Give me a break, it's griefing when the only reason why he chose that time to attack him was to make him pay 500k to get the jetpack replaced. He knew he had little tono chance and he was even proud of being able to run away.
