This is a simple survey. It's inspired by the "Russian server" thread but this is not an endeavor to bash the Russkies (in my RL dealings with them I never disliked any and found they have a better concept of liberty than most Americans).
On a scale of 1 to 10, what level of "tears" do you like.
Level 1: "I don't want to bother anybody. If going into piracy I would honor ransoms and leave noobs alone so they prosper and become a worthy target later. I would also honor 1 vs 1 and if I used some sneaky tactics to win, I would not rub my opponents face in it."
--to--
Level 10: "Grief grief and more grief the better. Make them cry! Tears give me a reason to live. If some kid hangs himself in the closet because of me, that would be my shining achievement! I like befriending noobs, luring them out to lowsec, and then blasting their ship and scramming their pod while making fun of them. I can smack in local for hours and scam like a politician."
Of course these are polar opposites, but try to figure that at level 5, you might enjoy the tears of someone who really had it coming, or tried to grief you or the tears of a sore loser perhaps and in some cases you might steal from or attack someone who was being so dumb they needed it as a learning experience.
So what's your grief level on a scale of 1 to 10 and what country are you from?
Me:
level 3, USA

L1, America.
I don't ever smack, always honor the rare ransom I issue, and have never can-flipped, scammed, or otherwise 'griefed.' I will pvp my little heart out during a war, or to uphold NBSI, but there's no reason we can't be respectful and show some class.

1/10, England.
If I was in a corporation that declared war with another, I would only seek to attack targets that had a fighting chance and who were roaming and looking for a fight. Mission runners and miners I would not touch. If they declared war on my corp however, everything would be fair game, from shuttles to hulks to mission running frigates and BS's, and everything inbetween. Obviously in Fleet vs. Fleet everything would get shot.
I would never be a pirate but if I did try it at a later stage of complete boredom with the game I would honour ransoms without question and absolutely would not touch anything that didn't have a chance at defending itself. If I started to attack something bigger and better than me and it became evident they're just mission runners travelling through lowsec (like if they didn't scram me and had typical mission modules) I would stop before destroying them and let them go.
I don't like griefing people and being an *******, that's not why I play the game, and no amount of anybody griefing me or being an ******* to me would change that. Probably. Also, if someone deserved a kicking for whatever reason I'd certainly let them have it, but I don't see how that factors in to this survey because that's a given. Even the Dalai Lama would probably unleash his fury on somebody that really deserved it and feel good afterwards.
Also, you may want to take gender into consideration. Or maybe not, seeing as the females that play games online have so much interaction with the 99% male population of every game that they pretty much start to turn into *******s just like all the guys. Case in point is the attitudes of many women on this forum. If they didn't make it clear they were women, you'd never tell the difference.

Anything from a 2 to a 7 would be likely, depending on how you weigh it down, by number of people or by desire intensity.
I'd probably say "level 4" (on average).

Tried lowsec piracy years ago (2005-2006) and quickly got bored of being -10.0.
The tears were funny though  
I'd say I'm at Level 5-6 atm.
I don't see much point in roaming round high-sec can-flipping n00bs just for the lulz and ruining their day.
Having said that, I found the Hulkageddon Tears hilarious... the highlights being "KAPLAH! VICTORY THROUGH SCIENCE!" and "PLEASE CRY MOAR MY POS NEEDS FUEL"
I would never scam anyone, but that's because I think there's more interesing things to do in EVE than sitting in Jita/Amarr flooding the chat or spending hours trying to make contracts look like something they're clearly not.
TL;DR = EVE wouldn't be EVE without the tears.
[EDIT] Oh and I'm English
If you're reading this, you've read too far and now you're on my sig. Concentrate on what I said before you got to this bit. Ok? |

6/10 UK
I'll relish the taste of salty tears as much as the next guy but I also enjoy helping noobs find a footing. I'll gloat over a fallen enemy and mock him relentlessly but if you're cool and ask me how I did it I'd be happy to explain.

lvl 1-2.
I'm much of a pacifist really. War and NBSI permitted, i rarely engage in actively hunting/bothering anyone who didn't deserve it somewhat. Much with the OP's statement but a little more nuanced in the asshat department perhaps...

I have a vindictive streak but I dont pick on people and I dont pirate.
On the other hand I often make fun of people and smack talk them for nat being able to catch me.

No level, this is a video game, if you cry over a lost ship/pos or whatever in game item, you should leave eve... In general who would cry over a lost ship? :) Makes me laugh.
