You're not talking about griefers.  Greifers are those who do ANY
action for the sake of causing other PEOPLE (not charecters) to be
annoyed or angered or disrupted in some manner.  PK is not in itself
Griefer attitude.  And a 'killer' gaming personality type is not
griefer.  Doing those things is PERFECTLY acceptable if welcomed by
all parties involved.  Its when its NOT welcome and the actions
continue that it is a Griefer attitude.
