Random Cruelest, Most Messed Up Things Gamers Have Done To Other Gamers (13 items)

(#11) An 'Ultima Online' Player Manipulated Players To Death

An Ultima Online human character named Belan described herself as a noble looter. She claimed to never directly kill anyone, but she would loot every dead body she came across.

Turns out she discovered a lot of dead bodies because she had mastery of skills that allowed her to control any wild creature, allowing her to manipulate the deaths of characters in practically any situation. She would then resurrect them and offer to sell them back their own gear for half its worth.
(#10) Pets Become Bombs In 'World Of Warcraft'

A World of Warcraft boss became notorious for a particular spell he could cast on characters. Baron Geddon had a buff known as Living Bomb that would turn players and their pets into ticking time bombs.

Some people soon noticed that dismissing a pet would pause the bomb timer but not cancel it. This allowed them to travel to supposedly safe places and then recall their pet. It would then explode in a fiery death, killing dozens or even hundreds of unsuspecting players. The problem became so severe that developers had to change the spell.
(#3) They Built A Car Together In 'DayZ' And He Left His Partner To Die

In the open world survival gameDayZ, Redditor u/CoolGasPumper and his brother met two other players who went by the names Igor and Ron. Together, they found a rare car called a GAZ. It was a fixer-upper, so the team spent hours finding parts to rebuild it.

While Ron and the Redditor's brother looted, u/CoolGasPumper and Igor traveled in the car.

All of the sudden, a roadblock materialized in front of them. They crashed into it, and Igor was ejected from the vehicle. When Igor asked u/CoolGasPumper to save him, the Redditor pretended to lose connection and drove away in the car. He left Igor to die, took the vehicle they built together, and hid it in the woods so he could find it the next time he played.
(#2) Players Deliberately Crashed 'RuneScape' For Others

After an update to the MMORPG RuneScape in 2009, players learned it was possible to purposely crash another player’s client. This would force them from the game, allowing others to kill their character and steal their gear.

The problem arose because the game’s public chat feature was unable to render the character “µ” and would cause a fatal error. Malicious players would turn off their text box so the issue wouldn't affect them, then go to crowded areas and send a public message to everyone nearby.
(#12) A 'World Of Warcraft' Player Made People Jump Into The Ocean

Redditor /u/Fly_Eagles_Fly played World of Warcraft as the Undead Shadow Priest. He would climb into a blimp at Orgrimmar and challenge other players to duel once the blimp began moving. He would then cast mind control.

For the first few seconds, he'd have them dance. Then he'd walk the player to the edge of the blimp and make them jump into the ocean. The player would then have to swim back to shore and wait for another blimp.
(#9) A 10-Month Infiltration To Assassinate An 'EVE Online' Guild Leader

EVE Online is practically designed for players to carry out long-term plans and feats of espionage. Players run huge in-game corporations and the rules allow for all sorts of foul play.

In 2005, a group known as the Guiding Hand Social Club spent 10 months infiltrating the Ubiqua Seraph corporation at the behest of a client. Spies managed to implant themselves in almost every area of the target, and one member was able to gain the trust of the CEO they had been hired to kill. They killed her, destroyed her prized ship, and stole billions of ISK with a real-world value of around $16,500.
