This is a word used by people who tend to be rubbish at a game and cannot defend themselves.
A 'griefer' is usually just another player going about their duties but come across c*ap players

Someone, usually in an online game, who intentionally, and usually repeatedly, attempts to degrade anothers experience or torment them.
Examples of griefing:
1. Player vs player abuse: Singling out the same person and killing them over and over when they are defensless until hey log off.
2. Kill stealing: Repeatedly trying to steal another persons kills so that their time is wasted.
3. Verbal abuse: Spamming a person with vulgar, hatefull, or offensive messages.
4. Blocking: Getting in anothers way so they cannot move or get out of a particular area.
5. "Training": Triggering many monsters, almost always impossible to fight and survive, with the intention to either run someone out of an area or kill them indirectly if the server is not 'player vs player' enabled.
Griefing in massively multiplayer online role playing games are usually bannable on first offense and less common (thoguh still visably present).
Griefing is much more common on private servers for first person shooters like Counterstrike and Battlefield 1942.

that type of person in gta 5 to always try to make you mad. In the local and well known game gta online you can work for cash a well known way to earn cash in gta is to sell product. A griefer is a person who will always try to disturb/mess with you during in a job. That person will destroy your career in gta. Do not interact with a griefer in anyway.

to pull a griefer is to become pissed at something that has little to no actual need which will lead you to eventually leaving a certain group (clan) for no certain reason.

People who try to make your life miserable on a MMO. Good greifers will still make your life miserable but you can still laugh at it. Bad greifers would be people who enjoy making your life suck and only the person doing the griefing finds the act funny.
On City of Heroes, come good griefers are Catharctic, Imeco, Sun Splitter, Forgotten Guardian, Phoenix of Syrinx, Cpt. Mule, and Fo Shizzle; where as the total dickhead griefers are people like Beef Cake, Grandpa Cath, Cyber Wolf Man, Kickblast, and Poser Cath.

An individual who uses online games, instant messaging, e-mail, or any other communication method to harass, obstruct, or in some way make an experience sour for another person.
In IM (instant messaging) a griefer might keep sending spam messages to someone, knowing the messages will overload the other person's computer.
In an MMORPG, a griefer might run around a spawn location shooting newbies.
Someone who causes grief or a bad experience.

This word is one seemingly created from the ether by Bill Gates minions to describe people who haven't completed puberty but have had considerable access to FPS games. Apparently it's common and parents should look out for it?
"Griefers" are the Internet equivalent of playground bullies, who find fun in embarrassing and pushing around others.
