Griefing and the Problems It Poses

Well, I first wrote this like two years ago when I was angry and alot younger (and defiantly more immature). Someone had recently griefed a server I had spent who knows how many hours building countlessly on. Chances are they used some sort of hack client or knew a loop hole to the freshly installed safety plugins. Anyway, after this happened I got extremely frustrated, and life seemed to be doing a back flip. It's like when you spend hours on an essay, and then it somehow gets deleted from your computer. Sucks, right? What's worse is that the person who did it was someone I thought was my friend. Apparently not.

So, I wanted to write this to tell you what problems griefing can cause. Well, obviously the person who got griefed is going to be extremely frustrated. If you had spent hours on the beach making a sand castle and someone kicked it over, that is basically how it feels. Wondering why it happened to you, and what you did to deserve it. The funny thing is, griefers half the time find it funny watching people angry, and also think it isn't their fault since they weren't the ones who failed to protect the building. They, in an esscene, lie to themselves to some extent. For some people, getting griefed is a common thing. Maybe they play on factions, not like it's uncommon to get griefed on factions. Others have spent hours on a server or a build and getting griefed is like getting  stabbed threw the heart. Some people might even quit minecraft due to griefing. Some may call that over reacting, but it isn't really. Sometimes enough is enough. Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know how tough it is getting your work destroyed. And if you're a griefer, think this over carefully. And, if you were griefed, wish you  luck in the repairing of your work!
