Is it possible anymore?
player versus environment (PvE) trolling.

pls plan better OOO
They are planning allot of stuff, I wish they would stop saying "we will get to it" to allot of good things and just say "we are doing this now, no other priority. We will be putting our undivided focus into this single project unless something important like bug fixes or something comes up." to the great stuff and then work down the list.
Either way I'm just glad they seem to have a list of "good ideas" to keep them working c:

So today I learned that you can jump from "PvE Trolling" to "OOO sucks at updates" in simply three moves.
Anyway, they took a lot of time trying to make sure you couldn't actively harass players in PvE - ranging from removing the Furious Flamberge's ability to catch people on fire to altering how Fire Pots worked to prevent players with better-than-average aim from being able to light other players on fire. The only way you can "troll" in PvE is to use the hammer to push someone into a spike trap while they're AFK so they die. But that's hardly trolling if they're not around to see it.

It would take more steps if they weren't the ones trolling their own game the most.

Apparently, using any weapon
Apparently, using any weapon with strong knockback. Too bad, since I like weapons with knockback.
Good thing I enjoy trolling, too.

Boom
Spam one of these while wearing stuff that gives you CTR on Bombs: Nitronome, Big Angry Bomb, Irontech Destroyer or Heavy Deconstructor. You can also try it with any Shard line as all the shards can make some players lag and the knockback, while small, can be really unpredictable and annoying.
Polaris/Supernova random spam, making party members miss their sword hits or sending enemies closer to party members so they can get hit. Plus, the huge bullets might make it hard for them to see what they're doing.
In Compound 42, use Ash of Agni, Combuster / Fang of Vog charge or Magma Driver (or any other weapon that deals the Fire status).
Go into a Vanaduke party with weapons that deal only Normal damage, with Volcanic Pepperbox replacing your Blitz Needle.
If you find a Love Puppy, kill it as soon as possible. Bonus points if you're in a battle where everyone is busy but you can get your health up before killing the Puppy.
If your party dies at Vanaduke but you manage to beat him by yourself, go Solo as soon as he dies (This might be more evil/poopy head than troll. Depends on the kind of Knight you are :p)
That's a few that popped into my mind now, I might post more if I remember :p

"Spam one of these while wearing stuff that gives you CTR on Bombs: Nitronome"
Oh god I really hate the Nitronome. Had someone spam Nitronome bombs at FSC earlier. Not only did they use it in a crowd of Slag Walkers so killing crowds of them took longer (as opposed to the three 5* Ele Brandishes which would have been more effective) but they spammed it outside of combat simply because it's so blinding. It managed to lag two people in the party so frequent deaths occured, mostly on the second floor.

"Polaris/Supernova random spam"
I don't mind the Polaris as much, as long as the user limits it to turrets and pushing monsters into a corner to maximise damage, rather than just using it for the sake of using it.

You know I enjoy switch shooting my polaris and supernova so as to never reload.

You don't need to switch-shoot with Polaris. Just shooting once every half-second prevents reloading.

my 2 cents
PvE trolling:
Polaris delayed switch
People often uses fast bullet projectile to switch, AP or Valiance let's say. Just shoot Polaris at the same time or slightly after, you'll trigger the switch again leaving someone dashing in a gate
Fire pots of DOOM
On certain levels you have fire pots (not vials, pots on the ground you can pick up) and you can make people catch on fire with it. Best place is in Danger Mission (The Frozen one) after completing the ice-ring arena (2nd last before boss) pick up the fire pot on the left and throw it upward right away, people will be blocked by the ice and will catch fire. They usually don't have fire rez for this level, dunno why :D
Shield Bumping Attacks
This is an hard one but once you get the hang of it, you can do it pretty easy. Just have a zombol follow you to someone and have it attack then QUICKLY shield bump his attack toward your party member (zombol spewing element = best thing ever for this)
Last man on switch
When you have the last totem (for FSC mostly) and the gate/fence goes down, simply walk on the button to turn it on/off so people see the gate closing/opening and cannot move toward. It won't last long but it's funneh :D
Dashing madness!
This is for experienced people with dash, I cannot do it but I see a lot of people do it. Steal dash pills/vita
The ultimate troll
Drop your pill and pick it up when nobody has 1 while fighting. People usually don't see you drop them and think you keep using pills. Rage incoming.
Mecha Knight army!!!
Spam as much Mecha Knight you find as possible, they can shock you if they "surge" themself and you stand next to them.
Warhammer is a tad too slow and risky to put people into fire/spikes IMO. We troll each other out in our guild cause we are soooo bored at FSC. Did you know Vana can cancel out your animation of opening a prize box? And that you can open a prize box while dead? :D
Enjoy your PvE trolling ^ ^

When a massive wave of enemies come and your party's struggling, steal all the pills that fall out while they're stuck doing the work. Works for me!

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!
I just realized that pill stealing will not work with the new looting system. Hooray?
