Excuse me. Killing someone and sending them on a corpse run is a grief mechanic. Killing someone and looting their items is a grief mechanic. Training someone is a grief mechanic

PVP is fundamentally (or at least on a very significant level) about causing grief to another person IRL through in game actions. It's fueled by schadenfreude in MMOs in a way you don't see in other competitive games. Not saying that's a bad thing. It's usually pretty funny. This is a view point coming a griefer.

Nah historically grieving did not mean following the accepted rules of pvp such as killing others and looting them

Griefing typically means going above and beyond to ruin someone’s gameplays experience. An example would be back in the day on pvp servers on vanilla WoW if someone really pissed me off I would sit on top of their body killing them over and over again while my guildmate was planted at the spirit healer (alternative place they could rez at) to kill them over and over again. The goal is eventually they just stop trying to rez and log off. That’s how you know you ruined your gameplay experience

I only did that a few times in my lifetime tho, normally I prefer fair pvp
