While searching for techniques to grief in Hello Kitty Online I found the following link.

But, the psychiatrist adds that griefers could also just be mentally ill, whether they're depressed, have a psychotic disorder, or substance abuse problems.
I agree I don't have the features to be a holoreel star.
Most people have missed the point that this is Mobsters Online and that carebears are at the bottom of the foodchain. |

Pirates are the nicest people in the game and carebears are just a bunch of bitter, selfish *******s. 
Also there is no such thing as griefing, just a bull**** made up word.

That would assume that pirates are griefers, which isn't always true...

Um...well pirates aren't griefers as the definition of a griefer is someone who plays the game only to make others miserable. Last I checked nearly all the pirates I know in EVE are laid back relaxed guys that like to get on a computer sometimes and pretend they're futuristic space pirates and have battles in their spaceships. In fact most pirates are much cooler that the stick-in-their-ass carebears that I know who play only to make virtual money to buy more and more expensive imaginary stuff that inevitably gets blown up. Said person is stupid and thinks for some reason that despite the fact that everything in EVE eventually blows up their stuff won't. They also think that the pirate did it just to make them miserable...
That article are about greifers, if anything I'd say that carebears are the griefers in EVE online.

All I managed to determine from that article is that psychiatrist's are whiny carebears trying to find reasons to make themselves feel better about being crap at pvp.

I love the psychobabble explanations for 'acting mean' in online games.
No, the guy who blew up your hauler isn't a depraved antisocial freak, he's just a regular guy having fun at your expense. It's a game, nothing you do here will ever really matter, so get over yourself.

Tell me about it. I used to mine. I nearly quit when I logged on one night and realized I was sitting in front of a bunch of goddamn space rocks for hours just to make a number go up. What a waste of neurons.
Now I kill people.

Hmmm, mining = Brain cell destroyer, Psychiatrist = Brain cell's destroyed. Carebear's I think are in more need of this type of help. In my short history in EvE, almost 99% of the people that got harrased were actually asking for it.
EVE is not for the faint of heart, well not most of the time. Some of the "bears" are lucky/smart enough to not get attacked.
People are out there from high sec can flippers, to 0,0 blob squads to show new people the ropes. If you didn't know, don't care, or just want to be left alone, you'll soon find out that someone will invite themselves to teach you the things you need to know. Can't be ignorant in the game forever, because someone will end up making you their student.
Anyways, that link to that article totally melted some brain cells.
Time to go do something about it...

Well I read it, and it was interesting, but it also seems like the theoretical ramblings of a psychiatrist. Experimental psychology and the Scientific Method exist for a reason.
And second, I wonder what this psychiatrist would conclude about people who are so invested in a game that they become extremely distraught when their virtual property(well in most cases it isn't even their property) is destroyed.

Lucky. I havn't got any hate mails. Although did get a convo from a guy who watched a buddy pop (he didn't have a warp jammer) and me get away. He apologized for the crap the mark gave me in local, saying he was new to the game, and still needed to learn the PvP aspect is a key thing. I refunded the new guy. Figured why not. My conscience annoys me at times. I havn't found a way to kill it completely yet . Any tips for this?

QFT
I've never once received hate mail that was well-written and actually made sense. My favorite so far is, "YO BRO NEX TIME I SEE U U BETTER RUN LIKE HELL," In high-sec. I don't mess with miners to **** them off, I do it because it entertains me and my wallet grows larger while I'm having fun and potentially killing an osprey; but I don't grief, goddamn carebears.
What I say here... does not reflect on my corp or alliance. |

Pirates attack with the idea of taking posession of shiny things which don't belong to them yet. Griefers attack repeatedly just to deny others the ability to enjoy any/all activity. Sadly, I do know quite a bit about griefers in multiple MMOs, but I do enjoy shutting them down whenever I can. (Is that griefing a griefer?)
There may be a fine line between some pirates and griefers, but there IS a line. I'd rather have to deal with a dozen real pirates than a single griefer. (Easy pirate escape method: Throw bundle of ISK one way, run like heck the other way while they are distracted by all the zeros)

You guys might not realize it, but pretty much everything in Eve has a role. =p
I like a fight as much as the next person; but sometimes, there are other priorities. For example - the woman and I watched a movie earlier tonight. Perfect opportunity to break out the Hulk and do some mining. You don't have to direct much attention to it and can focus on the movie.
Stuff like that. :)
"In search of hair-raising fights" leaves a lot to be desired. Most of today's Eve pirates seem to be the gatecamping kind. That's not in search of much of anything at all.

I have yet to get a nasty hate mail from a pirate, so far i have only gotten them from isk farmers, war targets and anti-pies.

People gatecamp because it is effective and profitable. Profitable = piracy. Roaming gangs are a lot more fun but even a roaming gang ends up engaging people at gates. You have to shoot them somewhere. 
There is a place for playing space rock simulator but I tend to prefer more active roles while logged into eve.
I agree I don't have the features to be a holoreel star.

You see the question is why would some people want to have fun at expense of others and other players don't require it to have fun playing a game.

Oh, come on. On a certain level everyone in EVE is profiting off of someone else.
Well, except hardcore mission runners, but they're not real people anyways.
