Might be, but at the end of the day it's not the griefers which are screeching high autism when their work is done.

>>377594753
it's more of an online disinhibition effect

>>377594753
no, not sticking to artificial rules in a videogame doesn't mean you have a mental illness.
the other way around might actually be more accurate.

>>377595128
it's not the disobeying of rules is what I'm talking about. It's the deliberately upsetting other people for fun.

>>377594753
A friend of mine used to camp lowbies in STV for hours and hours and then brag about it to me. I don't understand this mentality or how anyone could find that fun.

>>377594753
>is griefing in online games a sign of mental illness?

No, it's a sign of being bored with no other games to play.

>>377595209
as long as you are having fun you shouldn't care about other peoples fun.

>>377595209
The option of getting upset is entirely on the person who chooses to continue playing the game with the griefer.
You can choose to leave the server, turn of the game, block them, etc if a griefer is that much of a pain, otherwise it's the "victim" which chooses to let themselves be subject to it.

>>377595313
Aahhh, So you're sociopaths.

>>377595246

My friends did the same thing, I also never ever understood it.
Many people get off so much on winning from an ultimately advantaged position, like griefing like that, or just playing snipers in shooters and stuff.
I kind of actually feel like I missed out, I enjoy none of that shit.

>>377595313
lack of empathy is a lack of mental faculties, so it is mentally ill.

>tfw gave some guy my password saying he would give me full mythic

No its a way to have fun on the suffering of others.
People do this all the time outside of games.

Not an illness exactly, but being incapable of understanding and conforming to game rules does show severe lack of social development

Which could be considered a disability

>>377596402
>game rules
shouldn't the game be programmed in a way to enforce these rules?
if you can stop teammates from having a good time and ruin their experience, doesn't that mean it's a poorly made videogame?

>>377594753
I don't have people at school to bully anymore so its a fun way to do something similar in a little break. Not many games nowadays you can really grief on though, at least not like 2000s mmo pvp servers

>>377596492
you are quite retarded desu

>>377596539
Try Second Life
The UI is a pain to work with, but you can set people off by walking into them over and over again on there, not to mention just talking.

Butthurt faggots itt.
Stop taking games so serious and have fun.

No. If you get upset over a video game you are mentally ill. The people who react to griefers, if you didn't react griefers wouldn't exist.

>>377596623
You must not be aware of trolls trolling trolls

No, for products are not designed for socially inept retards, they are made for people.

Oh ok griefing is like rape i understand what kind of idiots are here now.

>>377595450
>what were this kid's parents doing?
Considering the kid is russian his parents were probably busy either drinking or killing themselves

>>377596035
Same, I always feel bad even when they're total weirdos. A friend wanted me to go fuck around in second life and be total idiots but I felt bad being totally retarded so I found a cardboard robot costume and went around pretending to be an intergalactic police robot hunting a dangerous criminal. It felt like a lot more fun to be making something people enjoyed than being someone who just annoyed people.

>>377596731
You can't compare the two you fucking idiot.
>house gets destroyed in minecraft
>tfw scarred for life

>>377596345
But you can still go on a community server, get that kill and quit whenever you want.

>>377596843
>but it's D I G I T A L
So? It's still a game, and it's still designed around the idea that the vast majority of people managed to learn how to behave like a human being

griefing and letting the enemy team win is a mental illness, trolling is different

>>377597171
you can't flip the board in digital adaptations of checkers

Like trolling? I'd troll when I was pissed at real life.

>>377595001
Oh fuck, I remember tihs. This is one of the greatest things.

>>377596594
Nah that alone wouldn't be much fun. I enjoy killing them in a game, having something active to do and not just psychological.

>>377594753
It's a sign of boredom. Boredom is not a mental illness.

I will never forget the old cs griefing collages being made on myg0t.

I don't get where this "trolls must all be lonely bitter people" meme comes from.

Is it something people tell themselves to make themselves feel better like when parents tell their kids "he's only bullying you because he's jealous"?

well, thread polls have proven that only about 10-13% of /r9k/ are extroverted, and since /v/ is basically /r9k/ with videogames, I think there are less extroverted shitposters than you might think.

>>377614320
I'm not saying they don't come from broken homes, just that they're not necessarily jealous. Sure the local white thrash bully might come from a shit background but that doesn't mean he wants to swap places with the scrawny dorky kid who's got no spine or social graces.

>>377614539
