PVE Griefing

I was playing a a ground PVE mission the other night and when it first started I hit the wrong key. Instead of using my frosted boots, I ended up activating my party popper. Within seconds there were nasty, vulgar language directed at me. That is totally unacceptable.
I have also seen people acting like they are in charge of the mission while using the public queque.
After seeing how people react to a video game, it actually makes me want to run around the ground PVE missions spreading balloons or blowing up Cubes early just because.
I don't AFK or freeload but I am getting really tired of people's nasty language.

I remember when this game first came out and everyone was still in open parties and I would be entering a patrol and someone else would come in, trigger all the mobs so it became impossible for a player under level 10 to complete and then split, I'll admit I cursed them out and then got a 24 hour ban.
I have a friend in game, who shall remain nameless, who gives his BOFFs the fire extinguisher or a party popper (I think he did it originally to save bank space), but rather than the BOFF doing something like revive you it would stand over you and blow smoke or bubbles (yes, he is trolling).
LTS, here since...when did this game launch again?
Heck... even after they changed the Scimitar AI script where they cloak at will instead of when someone gets within 5km, people still yell at others about the "5k rule" which is now pointless.
People should learn that this is a game. Mistakes happen and things change. People who expect PERFECTION in every run... really need to loosen up.
However, I never did that even when I had a GT 520 (good card, but not powerful enough for particles going off all the time like in a firefight in space or fireworks and such. The killer was the plasma vents).

I actually avoid success entirely. It doesn't get me what I want, and the consequences for failure are slim. -- markhawman

This. Maybe people won't be so quick to snap at you if you fill these device slots with more useful items.
I sometimes carry my party stuff in my inventory for events and whatnot, but never have them equipped during a mission.
That's rude of them, but it's not griefing.
That would be griefing.
Keep calm, and continue firing photon torpedoes.
We've all had those infected runs where your non-combat pet Exocomp parses higher than some of your party members.
HAHAHAHA...that made me laugh
Yeah. Riiiiight.
Someone gets bad language directed at them in PvE, it gets a thread.
If there were a thread created every time someone got bad language directed at them in PvP, the forums would implode.
No their behavior makes me want to grief. If they want to act like twits then I will bounce around kicking around balloons while the Borg tear them to pieces or the salt zombies tear down buildings and would be laughing my head off. That was my first ground mission in a long time and did it on a whim, so I didnt think about swapping out my gear.
Also in any teamed event there is never a excuse for people to curse or verbally assault someone. I don't care if they show up in MkI gear.
If I see somewhere doing something that will make a mission fail, I just leave. I am fine with the 1 hour timeout as I am not a big fan of the STF/PVE missions anyway. There are plenty of other things I can do. I dont find the need to act holier than thou and tell others what to do and berate other players.
It's not about perfection, it's about people wanting to assert their dominance and superiority like animals.
That means you're 'wasting' 25% of your usable item inventory. Depending on what ground mission you're talking about, people might be expecting you to have useful/needed items available for a successful completion. Best to unequip the frivolous items before going in.
The amount of trolling, cussing, and general rowdy behavior I generate in Ker'rat alone would crash the forums :P
now you know what i never join fleets/guilds/clan and such, because someone always believes they have the right to be delusional about who is the leader simply because they are in a fleet or because it inflates their epeen/ego. i dont think so, you are still one person, nothing more. i have no more power over what i write then branflakes has to be a community representative, simply because we all have our limits and no one is above these limits. i wished some people realized that and work with each other instead of placing one above the other.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
I'm sorry but let me be blunt:
I hope i'll never queue with you or people like you. First of you are an early leaver by what you stated. How often have I seen ppl leaving ground when the optional failed or something else did not went perfect and i hate that a lot and its even worse than some not so nice remarks. If you dont want to read them just minimize the chat window but leaving an ongoing and maybe salvageable stf especially ground is much much worse.
Maybe they were using bad Language but what you are doing is just inacceptable. When you leave YOU will have failed the mission and cost 4 other ppl a good chunk of their time just because well mostly everyone there is needed.
And as some others here said before: dont bring your trolling party stuff to an stf. Its serious business so act like it. The borg are invading or doing orher bad stuff and need to be stopped. If you put out baloons or something its just massivly immersion breaking for everyone. You kind of come off to me like one of those trolls pooping their baloons everywhere. This is star trek and at least i am a roleplaying person who just hates that stuff like that even exists for ppl to use it.
Guess what im saying is: your a starfleet officer (or a klingon) and neither of those would bring this plaything party pooper to an stf especially estf.
The second thing is your statement to start ruining missions just when someone lashes out at you verbally. First of there are 5 ppl in those missions means dou and 4 others. Even if one or two of those 4 are saying not so nice rhings to you there are 2 others left how would propably like to just finish the mission and just because you are too lazy to put some ppl on you ignore list you - and not those barking at you - will have failed their game without a real reason.
If you cant handle a situation like this without lashing out at the whole world making threads crying whatever then maybe a MMO is not the right game for you. You dont go around making others miserable just because you feel miserable yourself. Thats in my opinion extremely rude unfair and just trollish behaviour that is inacceptable to me.
There was a thread a while ago where someone had the idea to use the ignore list as an "no grouping-list" for PvX so you never group with someone on your list. Sadly we dont have that feature yet but if we had you dear OP would be on mine instantly.
And just to be perfectly clear: in dont like rude behavior but going out on a limb to ruin a mission leave or whatever is even more rude and often times punishes the other teammates that had nothing to do with what someone said to you.
And just because its important i say it again: dont bring that party-stuff to an stf kust leave it in your inventury and all is well.
Edit:
I thought I add kind of an example.. say cse or ise.. my friends and i pug a lot cause we only have a small fleet and cant get 5 ppl together all the time. I cant tell you how many times ppl went crazy in chat when we blow up a cube "early" in their minds or if we ignore 10%-rule. We do that because we know we can without failing the optional. Most of the time, when the mission then goes on to finish with even optionals only a very small percentage of those hating at us in the beginning will actually say something nice in the end or say sry or something but we dont care we know what we are doing what we can and cant do and thats that.
I already invented the solution: Do not go in public queue...cant be more simple than that.
Yeah cos the in game report and silence isn't already abused?!
i dont care about reporting anyone to whomever.. and I wouldnt need to if i could just remove you from MY screen if you bug me.. you would still be there doing whatever annoyed me but i would never ever again get you in a public queue, never ever see you again in any instance of map whatsoever or if somehow absolutely necessary need be displayed as a "generic player" without any emotes, chat displays, uniforms, party equip,...
that would still allow everyone to do whatever he or she wants but I could just ignore it/them very comfortably. there is no harm done when you just dont exist on my screen/just not being displayed/exist for collision tests althoough maybe the last one would be situation where this could get a bit complicated but well thats what creative devs are for
Let's see... a Tribble so that is one. Next you can have one Horta or combat pet of some sort. That is two. Now if you have the Shard of Possibilities then that is 3 but some may not have that so let us not count it. So obviously you can have a Shield Booster or Hypo for number three. So what do you need that last slot for? If you have one healing item it will put any other healing item into cooldown making them all but worthless. You may not have the special FE items. You may well have a 3 piece Rep set which negates the need for a Remodulator...
So enlighten me... What is that 4th slot good for anyway?
I have to really question how much you believe that statement? To say we are really a Starfleet Officer... Starfleet Officers that can wear any uniform or lack there of that we please, fly all manner of alien and often times enemy vessels, have crew from enemy factions serving as COMMANDERS on our ships, and running about the Galaxy killing everything that moves... How Starfleet does any of that sound to you? You can even be a freakin' Freighter Captain for crying out loud... We are a bunch of profiteers and mercenaries. That is the only logical explanation.
I concur. If you've got the party popper equipped for an STF, i'm afraid I have no sympathy with you over what happened.
The fact that because you got a mouthful off people who probably don't find the popper amusing in any way, you want to go off and spoil other STFs means that you are no better than these "griefers".
