Q:

…nail your fellow players with snowballs during the dolyak escort in LA?

I’m still chuckling over a few of my throws that “missed”

Part of me thinks that someone in ANet was thinking “hey, wanna see something funny? Watch this…”

Yes. But snowballs were created IRL for the sole purpose of playful griefing so I approve.

I regularly grief AP farmers in Crab Toss that want to get the win and use fishing pole on them even if they don’t have the crap. (It’s still a legit strategy to weaken the strongest so he won’t get easy win).

Don’t think in LA it is griefing. You still get loot and don’t need to do much for event credit I think. Would be hard to lock someone completely down.

Now I’m just thinking about. If you had a party of 3-5 you probably could keep someone down. Just target a random sucker and everyone fire at him. 3-5 due to cooldowns and having to pick up more snowballs. I highly doubt you would prevent them from getting credit for the event, but you could probably prevent them from picking up a present since it will despawn after a little bit.

I’m pretty sure all you have to do is drop your own snowball to stop from being hit by them.

Proper griefing would be getting a snowball so you get the debuff (affected by other snowballs) and just stand infront of the vet skritt and absorb all the players snowballs that are trying to kill the vet and being a human shield for the skritt. That is griefing.

Friendly fire, in this case, is very friendly and totally legit.

People like you is why I grind crab toss after reset when noone can join anymore. Then I can reap the rewards for hours while I am alone.
