Can you explain what kind of behaviour would be seen as griefing in Star Citizen? You mentioned putting griefers into instances together, but what behaviour would flag you for that, and would that behaviour eventually get you banned?asked by Otleaz

Well I mean it's kind of hard to say. The typical griefing is what you don't want to have happen is spending their whole time harassing the new players that don't quite understand how to play yet or the system and taking advantage of them. So like for instance if someone was hanging right on the edge of the Green Zone and when a new player flies out say of Crusader and they blast them to bits and they keep doing that, that would be kind of griefing. If someone deliberately starts crashing their ships into other people when they're on the landing pad in the Green Zone in Crusader that would be kind of griefing. In the bigger game in the final game we're going to set up this whole idea of bounties and when you've been doing anti-social behaviour in certain areas so like UEE controlled space if you just attack someone especially if you continue to do it, it's likely your ID code is going to get broadcast and then at that point you, there's a bounty on your head and not only will NPC's but now there is authorised PvP on you. So what will happen is if you engage that you'll be fighting NPC's and other players that will not have a penalty for now going after you.So we're hoping a few system like that will help with making the whole system not encourage people to troll beginning players we're still going to work on that, it's obviously stuff we got idea's we're going to put in or we're going to try to I guess adjust depending on what's happening and just go from there. As far as behaviour getting banned if we note someone that continually grief then that would probably be something that would be part of their player record and then part of the match making could be potentially "well let's just put people that grief in the same instance with each other so they can just grief each other" and I think there's other elements we can do in that case to not encourage the behaviour let me put it that way. We definitely want people to be pirates we do not want to prevent PvP in the places where PvP can or should happen, but we don't want people just harassing other people to hurt their game experience for the lols so to speak and that's always difficult cause this happens in every MMO so we're going to try out best and not sure that we necessarily always got the right solutions but we've got some ideas that I think are pretty good and we'll go from there.
