Yay for griefers and fun at NCR mine.

Some players actually do like that (griefing) to arouse activity in the forums.
Johnnybravo:
Game in current (and ever?) state is just heaven for griefers, as always condomed by statements as "wasteland is harsh".
The best thing you can do about it is to give developers time and chance to make it more enjoyable.
Creating own server is possible as well, but with ugly limitation of windows-only binaries.
Ofcourse I seriously doubt anyone working on project has enough experiences with computer games design, so in fact resulting product is just continuing experiment. Some might find fun, some might not.
Obviously current design of mercenaries, death penalty, pvp, player interaction, questing, character creation and perhaps even economy are sloppy at the best.
Game completly fails to moderate rate between played time and personal gain. This would be perfectly fine for either payed service or sponsored service in fashion of various web-based games driven by only player attention.
I'm not analyst to tell or have rights to guess whose fault it is, however there're still hundreds happy ones so that game is not really a failure at all.

Has nothing to do with griefers. That sentence is related to the hardcore nature of fonline, such as full loot drop, hostile encounters and basically all the un-nubfriendlyness. If you want a sentence to represent griefers, it'd be "wasteland is retarded loooolzzzzz xDDDD"
JovankaB:
It would be hardcore if there was permadeath and 1 account / player accepted by admins.
Now it's just trollcore, because if you want to kill in a trollish way there is no risk involved or any negative consequences of your actions.
The only people who risk something are those who are not interested in trollcore gameplay.

More like TooHardcore with current settings such as instadeath encounters.

There are 2 ways to discourage idiotic activity. One is to have so much to do that players don't get bored and start fooling around. This is what Eve Online does according to wikipedia but because of so much to do, there are still griefers.
Another option is to strongly encourage players to play along with wasteland rules or be rendered incapable of interacting with the world. This means following the rules of npcs factions and avoiding death. The downside is that freedom would be reduced, but so far it's clear that when given too much freedom players use it to fuck with the world.
