AlaricSevGirl Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) I can say something harsher but when someone hasn't done anything to you and they are in an area where they are supposed to be to complete a quest and you are on the opposing faction, don't heal the bloody mob. That's called griefing and next time I see someone do it, I'll report them for griefing. Edit: I realize that it's probably a F2P player and they can't read and post on the forum but still it's a very immature thing to do.

That's called griefing and next time I see someone do it, I'll report them for griefing. I've seen this done. Never been tempted to do it, but it had me chuckling a bit. In my opinion, doing so should flag you for PVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pscyon Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Obviously they were roleplaying helping out their fellow faction members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you now if it's considered griefing or are you just labeling as that? I'm pretty sure it's not griefing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaricSevGirl Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 It's not griefing to heal mobs so the player dies? That's credits I have to pay out to repair and dead repair cost a lot more than regular repair. So yes, I call it griefing, harassment, etc. The only people who would justify it are people who would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because -you- wouldn't do it as a roleplayer doesn't mean others wouldn't. People have very different rulebooks on the thing. I wasn't serious about with that statement however, my apologies... Do you now if it's considered griefing or are you just labeling as that? I'm pretty sure it's not griefing. The spesifics on what they consider griefing is vague at best. But the other player obviously did not have AlaricSevGirl's best interests in mind nor would they themselves benefit in any way from healing said enemy. There are no missions where you're supposed to heal NPCs that the other faction is opposing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eitetsu Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've done it a couple times for the lulz. I always let them complete it eventually. Just like giving them a challenge and a hard time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not flagged for PvP although when I did PvP (my other SWTOR experience: I'm on a new account), I kicked ***. This time I'm not PvPing. (Well maybe lol, not sure, I'm waiting for 2.0 to come out before I PvP again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no rewards for doing so, no missions completed, but people can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um... if they kill off all the NPC's in the town so that you can't go into the town, can't turn in quests... it's the same thing. The person healing the mob is preventing you from completing your PvE goals by using PvP tactics. Boo hoo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no rewards for doing so, no missions completed, but people can do it. It can very well matter. Each reported harassment incident is judged individually. If using game mechanics to prevent others from a regular playing experience is considered harassment, it's harassment. If it isn't, it isn't. Your spesific example falls a bit flat outside of a PvP server though as most if not all mission givers cannot be targeted... vendors I'm unsure about.

Okay, I can agree that it's on a case-by-case scenario, but I've never had a problem with someone healing an npc mob. I just thought the person must be really bored. But this casual use of the word "griefing" is a bit extreme since it is a "case-by-case" scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
