Then they logon alli and do the same, just to stir everyone up.
Look at it this way, a kitten wasn't tortured that night.

Some games give pvp a repair cost or a battle fatigue exhaustion effect, 
stops a lot of outright griefing - after a while.

potions to keep going with ever decreasing returns.
It is even vaguely realistic .
