Hi,
Much like the old French saying, "If you have to think of your honor, you've already lost it", if someone asks if they are griefing, they probably are.
Those dragging out that old tired argument "if the code allows you do it, then it is within the rules and thus OK" are just as idiotic as they've always been. Besides skill, to be a great player takes class. Gankers have no class.
OTOH, WoW is not D1 or D2. In those games, there was no rational for 'being on the other side'. Aside from dueling, PvP in those games was piontless and stupid. WoW has 'war' as an underlying premise. Since it is built into the game, PvP is much better balanced and makes much more sense. And Blizzard did give us the PvE/PvP option (I just don't see how a non-PvP RP server could work).
Finally, in analogy to a well worn Internet dictum, I propose the 'Lurker Law': "The first person to introduce the word 'carebear' into a PvP discussion loses. He's just demonstrated his inability to think beyond the flatworm level."
