Griefing same faction

[Armilus]

I am trying to do the Defias traitor escort quest with a group in westfall.

Players "Evildanny", "insanehomo" and "Biggayelf" are pulling mobs to our escort NPC and then kiting the mobs to duskwood. When they get to the border of duskwood the NPC despawns.

We are unable to do the quest because these player is griefing us. We tried to do the quest 3 times but they are just sitting on the road waiting for players to come by with the NPC so they can grief them. They are not leveling or doing anything else, just waiting to grief.

Escort NPCs should not assist anyone within 100 yards, it's a bug and these players are abusing it to grief us.

I created an in-game ticket but there doesn't seem to be any GM's on.

This is the 4th time that I've tried to do this quest on my alt but it is camped by griefers every time.

As far as I can understand. Everyone involved are Alliance, and the Defias Traitor is an important quest NPC. Which will engage anything that comes near him, if now three fellow Alliance players are sitting on the road with hostile NPC's waiting for the Defias Traitor to walk past causing him to engage those NPCs. If the players proceed to kite the hostile NPC's into Duskwood, which causes the Defias Traitor to follow them into the border of Westfall. This would instantly despawn him and reset the quest. Not to mention the massive respawn timer.

I'd classify that as griefing, they're abusing a mechanic to essentially team kill friendly NPC's which in turn ruins and breaks the experience of other players in the same faction and they're doing so intentionally.


P.S: The Terms of Use state that continously killing important quest NPC's is prohibited.

Extensive killing of important quest NPCs

P.P.S: Just to clarify, I wasn't there.
