So while I like the idea of an anti grief system, the current system suck and is open to abuse. I threw a grenade into a room and then 3 nubs ran into the room and died. HOW is that my fault? or as I have just witnessed (and caused my an account lock) I was firing with my engineer emplacement and a medic stands in front of me and dies. oops.. not 60 seconds later another medic stands right in front of me and dies..... after the third medic I got account locked. The griefing system sucks; if you want to stop griefing then have friendly fire has no effect (simple); and is open to abuse. I just have to create a toon on a server my main is on and troll the opposition by getting them account locked... Please change the system its too open to abuse and accidents
I have had the same problem. I will be sighting down my scope to lay fire into some bad guys and folks will run across my stream of full auto fire. If I get account locked for not intentionally doing team damage...cause everyone knows who has played this game for more than a few hours...it can get really crazy, I will take my premium elsewhere to a non-SOE company.
If it happening as often as you claim (with regards to shooting), you are doing something wrong. Part of using a gun is being able to stop firing, just like in real life, keep your situational awareness high, and don't set up a turret in a dumb place. One sure, but 3 deaths means you're turret had to be badly placed, unless it was the same medic each time. With regards to grenades and vehicles. Well **** happens, the game does issue warnings, and your grief points do decay over time, just switch play style, I've had 4 final warnings in a single hour, but I've never been weapon locked.
