The effect of this griefing will even be magnified compared to some standard RvR game since it's friendly-fire enabled. Normally, player flag-up to enable same faction pk, so there is usually a warning flag you can get attacked.

I don't believe its the second, third, fourth or twentieth problem next to hacking. This is not a threat to the game, it really isn't. Unless people get turned off if it happens to them once. This playstyle is not as productive as it is with everyother mmo/first person shooter out there.
With in game chat connecting everyone on the server, griefers will be pinpointed much faster than you get with smaller group oriented mmo's. I really think hamma over reacted a tad in his stream. Not saying anything bad about hamma, but it happened once, and of course there is going to be a little griefing for live streamers. Hell, channel two news was doing a live broadcast on the bridge here in oregon and I drove by them 4 times hitting puddles lol.
I do agree that they can stiffen up friendly fire penalties a little bit, but I absolutely don't want friendly fire disabled.
