Griefer? Noob-ganker?

[sylvar]

A Digg story describes Cynewulf as a griefer. The WarCry article they link to calls Cynewulf a noob-ganker, "ganking other players as they first appear."

Huh? What did this guy do, exactly? Is it something like camping at a respawn? And if so, wouldn't a sensibly designed game prevent people from getting killed as soon as they log in for the first time? (I mean, unless the game is a "let's all dance on the surface of the sun" MMORPG created as a joke.)

Hmm, that game design sounds a bit too flexible to me... but then I guess most of the games I play are designed for kids.
