 Griefer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A griefer's actions (griefing) include kill stealing, player killing, team killing, stealing dropped items from a kill or during inventory reorganization or a mistake, scamming, and general harassment.
(spawn camping) Another common tactic is to lurk at the place where one killed a player previously to kill him again as soon as he respawns (corpse camping, which is also a form of bullying).
Griefers may harass other players through skill abuse (for example, healing or buffing a monster which another player is trying to kill, or casting impassable wall-type spells at bottlenecks through which other players must pass) or other methods.

Kill stealing, and the fear of kill stealing, as well as the imagined stigma it holds is an excellent place to start.
