Fallout 76 Players Are Seeing an Increase in Griefing (gamerant.com)

Some fans appear determined not to let this trend affect the game's welcoming reputation, having reported that they are trying to rebuild other people's C.A.M.P.s whenever they see them nuked, and work even harder to support newbies in other ways. Between that and Fallout 76's existing anti-griefing measures, it's possible that this potential uptick in malicious player activity will pass before long.

Griefing in Fallout 76 is pretty much non-existent - it's an overblown "headline".

That community has been one of the most friendly and welcoming communities of pretty much any multi-player game in the last few years. Asking a question or for help from a complete stranger and getting way more information or assistance is actually the more common occurrence.

The game has been around for a long time, so welcoming or helping a newbie is sometimes a nice break from the grind for the high-level players.

Come on over newbies - the game has changed a LOT from its original iteration (which WAS a shitshow full of bugs and griefing - which is outdated information from long past).

I was genuinely surprised how nice people are on 76 when I played it. I was so used to the toxic COD lobbies and GTA Online servers that I just expected the worst from everyone. Such a huge breath of fresh air. I only stopped playing because I ran out of stuff to do.

Me too, after 250 hours and level 120 i also stopped playing it.

You're probably not wrong, but this dosn't surprise me. As you know the success of the show increased the amount of online players, which also inevitably increase the amount of toxic players(even if it's still a little minority).
