A good article that CCP would do well to read.
Trouble with the classic sandbox, is arsepipes do their business in it. Pretty soon you've got a bucket of faeces with sand in it.
But then, if griefers really are CCP's intended niche, who am I to argue.

They didn't say "we will eventually drive away normal human beings leaving only emos behind and go bankrupt."
I think you meant emus - those players who love the taste of turd in their sandbox so much, they've got their heads buried in it.

I trying to find (with little luck) another quote (I think also for Wrangler...
That wouldn't surprise me. Wrangler is the worst thing to happen to this game's community. I can't imagine how he got employed; he must be someone's special nephew. I have no respect for him at all.

Because he disagrees with your perception on how this game should be?
For arming the sandbox-sh*tters with their end-all quote. For explicitly and offensively condoning Goons' misappropriation of Islamic themes. For lacking the diplomacy and skill required to be 'community manager'.

If every player who whined for CCP to do something actually formed an anti-griefer corp, the entire universe would have something to fear.
It might yet happen.
It would fall apart when they try to fight a fleet battle with 200 drakes against any competent 0.0 alliance.
But why would they want to do that? The problem isn't in 0.0 - anything goes in 0.0 and the mechanisms are there for it to be properly player-policed. The problem is Empire where the game rules act against players moderating each other's behaviour. Empire game rules promote asshattery cos Mr F Wad plus gang are allowed to loiter with intent while Concord protects them, right up until the moment they open fire.

Hire Mercs to dec Mr F wads corp,Have people suicide gank Mr F wad,war dec Mr F Wad yourself.Probe Mr F Wads missions and steal his loot.Steal his Ore/flip his can if he mines.Report Mr F Wad if he is genuinly griefing or behaving in a manner which is offensive.
With the exception of war-dec'ing, all your suggestions are based on activities that are either meta-gaming or are a form of asshattery. Suggesting that a person become an asshat to counter the asshats is not really constructive.

If you are having trouble expressing yourself it's best not to resort to name calling or trying to Demonise other players.It just makes you look very,very bitter.
Read the article linked in the OP. It is a term used there, and in the spirit of debating the points in the article, I used the same term here. As for having trouble expressing myself, suffice it to say that glass houses tend to be quite fragile.

About Alts... I think we need to keep nudging CCP to keep making more and more of this kind of data public so that we can do our own investigations of who might be an alt of who.
I had a CRAZY idea that killmails could list all three characters on the attacker's account. "You were killed by xxx AKA yyy AKA zzz."
Yes I know, even the thought of such accountability makes some people quake in their lill fluffy boots... here, have a lollipop, I'm sorry I scared you...

You should have to work for the info, maybe even new skills involved. And depending on the sensitivity of the info, perhaps even risk it backfiring on you (free wardec, killrights, etc) if your hacking around for other player's data gets noticed.
Oh, I like that. Kind of an 'investigation' skill. Keeps it in-game and all nice and RP too.
