The underlying issue in this thread is not about PVP griefing, specific players who grief specific areas, or pvp tactics; it is about Game Masters abusing their powers to punish those who engage in PVP against their preferred faction.
I play on Anathema PVP and I've encountered a problem with game masters abusing their privileges on this server for the third time (this is the first and only time I've had the foresight to document the issue). This time I had captured the conversation, but the combat logs of me dying and being resurrected do not show game master activity. The time of activity was May 27th, 2017 at 05:25 server time / 23:25 pm EST in Booty Bay / Stranglethorn Vale. At this time I was continually warped into hostile mobs until my character died. I logged a complaint on the discord support channel, after which i was resurrected by a GM with no action on my part. The details follow:
For some time there has been a twinked rogue named "Omgwtfpwnd" that has been killing lower level players in Redridge (not against the rules, not my complaint). Eventually, a few of us alliance players got tired of our alts being killed so we decided to group up and fight back. We logged on to our mains and killed Omgwtfpwnd 6-8 times in Stranglethorn Vale and inexplicably a Game Master started warping me to Booty Bay guards until I died. At this point I complained in the official Elysium support discord channel, my character was resurrected by a Game Master, and Omgwtfpwned told me on the support channel to calm down. Omgwtfpwnd claimed that he was not a Game Master, which alerted my suspicion because his response in the support forums was almost perfectly timed with the GM who resurrected my character. Omgwtfpwned asked if we were the group killing the Booty Bay horde flightmaster, but I see nothing in the rules or terms of service that prohibits such activity.
Were this the first or even second time that a Game Master had punished me or my friends for PVP tactics that both factions engage in, I would have not complained. Whether it is [Omgwtfpwnd] or not, someone who is a GM is abusing their role to punish alliance players for doing the same shit that both factions have done to countless times... Whoever the game master is, they are blatantly abusing their privileges to make this a less authentic vanilla experience for all players, and we should not have to put up with that as a community.
Screenshots of the discussion in elysium support chat will follow as soon as I find an image hosting service that this forum does not block.
