Curse

Had a brilliant individual in JQ yesterday, complain after a loss of 10-9, and then call everyone "noob". As is expected, he was of course running a terrible build, dieing within a second and accomplishing very little in the moments he was alive.
After a brief PM to let him know the game was close, I get the "your bad" "noob" barrage I always expect when informing our ever so vocal, and increasingly more ignorant players of a simple fact, he proceeds to tell me "I'm on Guru, look me up.".
Now I've seen a lot of elitism lately, from the "no50/50?nooblolzhahaha" types to the "4billion stones ushownow" types and everything in between. This fella takes the prize. Just for the fun of it I looked him up... Know what I found? That's right, NOTHING. Just when i was sure that people couldn't get any dumber this fella comes along and gives me a big shot in the arm. That's right Guru, typing, merely being here has made us all AMAZING. Now I won't deny, being on here does make us rather amazing, but that elite? That's right THAT 1337!1!!! I had to chuckle after that little exchange. My ignore list is getting more use then it ever has before.

I hope you picked it up......

I remember showing off my limited wealth when I was CoF running, and I dropped 20k and someone else picked it up Dx big hit for a noob like me.

You should have known he was full off crap right then and shouldn't have bothered to try looking him up. He is apparently so bad at the game and has so little clue about the community that he thinks that only good players can have GWguru accounts.

Not really stupid, but funny. Happened last night during the zombie apocalypse that was in RA:

And we had the pleasure of seeing this wonderful person try to cause drama because he was upset that the people enjoying the minion party in town were having more fun in the outpost than actually PvPing. And of course he tries to throw some trolling in there, but nobody really cared.

We were doing the Khabuus ZB yesterday when the Necro in our group died. The leader of the group decided he should just be left for dead because he wasn't a MM. We ended up doing almost all of the first level with only 7 players because nobody rezzed him (I didn't have rez or I would have).

So how is this stupid? The party leader was right, you didn't need him...?

MMO Player · Oct 10, 2011, 09:14 AM // 09:14

Ok although I just got around to buying the game back at the beginning of September, I have played off and on at a friends house on an extra character slot. So I already knew a bit about the game. I still consider myself a noob and help others when I can.

So about a week or so ago I am working on leveling up my primary character when this fellow player meets me in Ascalon and starts chatting. He is impressed I have MOX and wants to get one. I told him I was heading over to Lion's Arch and he says he NEVER been there. So right away I think, ok I will run the noobie over and show off a bit.

After he agrees to follow me, I end up waiting on him right outside the gates as he is AFK for about 5 minutes. I figured it was a pee break prior to the run. When we got to Grendich Courthouse he goes AFK for awhile and I am about to give up on him. But he returns and I tell him to set his character to follow mine if he has to leave the keyboard again. How do you do that? I explain that if he clicks my name on the list and hit space the character will auto follow.

When we got about half way to Yak's Bend, I asked how long he has been playing GW? He replies 2 or 3 years now...

UH.... seriously? This was taking much longer than it should have.

So once I got him to Yak's Bend I told him that I had to go somewhere (which was totally true) and I would call a friend (the one mentioned above) to run him the rest of the way. No sooner than I called my friend this guy drops offline but not before he left an invite to his guild.

The guild was practically non existent just himself and 4 others he wasted gold on to invite. I don't remember his name but this was the very first person I met since the purchase of the game. My friend said nothing like that ever occurred with him.

Its douche-baggery at its finest. Even if he wasn't MM what about SS?, FoC?, MoP? Having that 1 extra damage dealer helps kill shit unless he was running some god awful build or leeroying everything in sight.

On same ZB, joined a pug that by the sound of it consisted of 3-4 "noob" friends (leader admitted to it later). Same leader made our two monks swap out/in skills until he was happy with them. I wasn't paying attention to all this because I assumed the monks would work out what skills to be bring to keep the party "alive". Found out later (after getting onto level 2) that the only person in the group with a res was the one monk that kept on dying. The mildly scowled the group each time I had to used a res scroll on the monk.

If the PARTY LEADER wanted a MM, why did he accept this guy into the group if he thought he was going to be so useless?

Since they didn't need him the stupid thing was taking him along in the first place...

That been said in almost all teams of 8 you can do with 7 or even less the difference being it will take more time. Also giving someone a free run because you don't like his build isn't the smartest thing you can do..

was in FA and this monk started saying REALLY racist stuff and us kurzies were telling him I am going to report you this is how he responded
"lol no I know Gaile Gray" like this excludes you for being reported for being a racist a**hole. I basically said to him If he was friends with Gaile that isn't that great of a person. Needless to say I know have one more person on my ignore list.

I know her too. Or at least know OF her, so I must be exempt from bans! WHOO!

Needless to say, not even ANET employees are exempt from bans. In fact, if someone under ArenaNet was doing something bannable, I would think they would get banned even faster than a normal player, as I highly doubt the company wants bad PR because an employee thought they could get away with anything they wanted.

This guy wanted to buy alcohol, i said i had some for 100g a point. I offerd it and he asked me if any were more than 1 point. I said yeah the aged are 3 points.
He offerd me 6k for 30 aged hunters ale and 30 normal hunters ale. Seeing im not here to scam ppl i said that it is 100g a point. Instead he offerd me 9k and i again said 100g per point. Then he offerd me 18k for the lot. Then i gave up and just hit the 'accept' button.

Not here to scam people but yet you scammed this guy? Ever think that maybe he's not good at math? Instead of continuing to say 100g per point, you could have just said 12k for all.

Looks like he's as good at putting a good spin on his own wrongdoing as his victim was at math.

He seems to have been under the impression that they both were three points, probably a brainfart, but instead of just flat out telling him 12k, you just repeated "100g a point" to try to justify scamming. Shame on you.

Prestige · Oct 12, 2011, 09:15 PM // 21:15

He didn't scam him.

He told him at multiple times that he was charging the specific price of 100g per point. It's the buyer's problem for giving more, as a seller, your more than happy to make more money, right ?

If the buyer decides that no, he is paying 18k for (30*300)+(30*100) = 12,000 gold coins worth of alcohol, than yes, it is his (the buyer's) problem.
