griefing
Ruining others' gameplay
Griefing is deliberately harassing or annoying other players in online games—destroying their creations, blocking their progress, or otherwise ruining their experience for one's own amusement.
The term comes from causing grief.
Someone who does this is a griefer: He spent the whole match griefing instead of playing the objective.
