Hi Meliva,
Griefing- let's talk about it.
I don't have tons of free time so I will post what I want to say here then you and whoever may continue the discussion as you see fit.
After logging into 50 casts from a member of your guild, I responded by casting on the guilty party and when that did not make me feel better I cast on several more members in your guild.
This understandably got those members casting on me and so that's how it was for a couple of days.
Then a member informed me they were shedding ships and would be casting on me in retaliation and defense of his guild.
Again completely understandable, so I commandeered some of their ships to keep the shipwright in business.
I did not whine and cry while wearing voodoo from several members at once for multiple days in a row.
You, however, decided to read this topic and claim I was griefing.
So I thought I would post a few things you seem to have overlooked in this article.
In the interest of time, I will just post them below and you can find the relativity and where it is applicable or not.
All will be quotes from CJ.
Griefing a player for an unjust action your player suffered, as you perceive it, is legitimate.
If your player wants to react badly to an attack, it is your right.
-If during the "breath time", the victim finds time to attack back, then this is not a griefing case, this is a war. War is welcomed.
To summarize, we have never took an action in regards to this rule. We do not want to interfere at such level. We prefer that players find ways to solve such cases on their own.
-24 hours of onslaught for a fair warning
-3 days of onslaught for a harsh warning
-7 days of onslaught for an overkill
In closing, while I may not log in as often as I should, I can't help but think that if you are teaching newer players that when you do not like in-game actions you should try to find a way to make it reportable then you yourself are adding to the problem.
For the veterans, I was casting on if you bought into this nonsense you too need to rethink how you are training newer players.
If I was ill-informed on the situation then I offer my apologies, however, I still fully intend on casting as I see fit, at my leisure, or as I am allowed when not wearing voodoo that prohibits it.
Mostly because I can, and partly, too now prove it's not prohibited griefing.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
