No No! Not at all. I think our source of contention at the moment is the oddly undefinable term "griefing". Going around killing other people (regardless of the motivation) to me is...PvP. On the other hand, terraforming entire junkpiles or deforesting entire zones (with the sole intent to deprive another individual of said resources), falls under the somewhat agreed upon (at least in this thread) actions of a "griefer".
PvP is good, healthy even!
Interesting. Did you see them delete the trees because what they probably did was cut them down, and then do some woodworking. And, the last I heard, that was considered a legitimate practice. Unless you can prove they were in fact deleted, then your accusation of griefing is void. Besides, Hopi members understand the value of wood as a resource. We wouldn't destroy the logs if we could use them.
As far as I'm concerned, denying someone access to resources is a viable strategic option. Real people have been doing it in real life for millenia and in RTS games for the better part of a decade. Personally, I think it's fine to do so, just that it's currently much too easy and too quick to do so in this game.
Armand wasn't the one who actually reported him. Sabbath apparently fished his character into exhaustion over and over again until someone made a joke about it in general chat. The joke in general chat prompted a guide to teleport to Sabbath's location, verify that he was AFK, and then dump him in the lake. After that, Sabbath left the tribe voluntarily.
We in know way forced him out, nor did we ask him to leave.
So in other words, he left the tribe after you reported him for macroing? I thought that was already said?
