Sabotaging is funny sometimes my favorite thing to do is use feast of souls when there's a spirit spammer around.

Necro's do it, Mesmers too, vamp weapons. You just grumble and move on.

makes me think of the old uw days....when you were leary of the korean and chinese monks---the ones that would get you killed off with the aaxtles and then go on to the smites.....yep its been going on for quite some time now.

this whole thread reminds me of another point... why is there no dishonorable status in pve? there's just as many wack jobs (ragers, griefers, leechers) you can find in pve pugs as in pvp. i want these guys to be banned from pve until they have some time to cool down

It's never amusing, especially when you wait FOREVER to get in.

I hate that attitude about being afraid to report. I cause shit storms and call every leecher out and it can work. Routintely I will get 3/4 or whatever is needed. Getting 5 though is very hard to do, I can usually get 3 people to report, but if 5 could it would prevent the person reported from getting real time faction which is even better. Oh and I'm NEVER hexed, so don't worry about that. The one time I got reported for spamming (which I don't give a damn about... I told them to kill ________ right now before the amber comes in, but everybody ignored him so I clicked his name over 100 times), it was only like 3 minutes hex! I am not kidding you!

Because there are so many shitty players who are either just plain stupid or are trying to use "role play" builds, that the system just wouldn't work.

Just have the team report them for scamming.

That's like trying to report a run 'scammer' for scamming. They aren't scamming, and ArenaNet won't care.

It all comes down to the fact there is no ostracism for those who grief in any aspect of the game. You have carte blanche to do whatever you feel and get away with it.

True, the wait times can be horrid. A friend actually brought it once. He thought it was helpful I think. I ended up being one of those people that was wondering what killed me.

Oh so do I. I was only saying it's crazy that you can report someone that's actually reportable, yet get a dishonor/ban yourself for doing so when you've done nothing. And yes, somehow preventing them from benefiting would be good...how that would be done is another matter.
lol

I just say that we still need 3 more to report, 2 more to report... when I get to 1 though, it's like people are afraid of crossing that line. Just have 5 people report one person. No faction for them, its' in the game.

I actually do find the occasional sabotage funny, even if the joke's on me. People like that actually remind me that GW is just a game, and that I'll enjoy it much more if I play with a sense of humor. If you don't see it that way, then nobody's forcing you not to play with heroes, henchmen, or guildies.

The ability to ping your skill bar was meant to be a quick easy way for you to show your party what you're running, not a tool to police their builds and make them meet 'your standard'. I think it takes a pretty large ego to take control of everyone's game experience, and then get outraged at 'those griefers' who dare defy your will. I wouldn't be too surprised if that's what actually motivates them in the first place.

didn't people cry about tonic sounds in an outpost? what happened there?

The only act of sabotage I see much of is when you get into ta and have the teams of 4 stance sins. They just hop around the map and run out the 10 minutes or whatever without dying, so you end in a draw game and get kicked back. It sucks when you've come from ra and are on your 14 or 15 win and hit one of these teams. They only do it to break people's win streaks.

So like, we did the Zaishen Bounty today. This one guy wanted to cap the skill Mobrin was carrying, but he was dead when Mobrin died, and the rest of the team quickly left.

He asked me to leave too so he would auto-res and cap.

I slowly walked back to Gadd's encampment and stepped through, taking us both to the outpost

And why did you do that? To share it here on guru?

Yelling @ Cats · Sep 18, 2009, 11:28 AM // 11:28

I've done it before.

Mostly when a group kicks my Assassin before a mission because "lolassassinsuck". Log onto another character, preferably a Monk, and run my assassin skillbar for lulz

eyekwah2 · Sep 18, 2009, 12:59 PM // 12:59

I hate when it happens to me, but then I giggle like a little school girl when I read the stories here. I think the funny part comes in when you relate to the guy dead waiting to be ressed by a guy who is dancing on your corpse and wondering if this is truly happening... It's kind of like laughing at the guy who tried to dive into his pool off a ladder which happened to displace upon leaping. Very painful, yet there's some sick part of you that laughs inside.

Video

The Judas Priest build thing is just lame. I don't even think I'd find that funny if I did it myself. Sabotage has to be clever and inventive or it might as well not even be done.

Had a monk join our group once, who as it turns out, was a 55 monk. He kept dying and honestly couldn't understand why, as if the 55 monk were invincible. Everybody thought it was lame except me. I couldn't figure out if he was faking it or if he really thought that, but I imagine that I was the only one laughing the entire time.

Just thought I'd say that you're quite ignorant if you think anyone on PvX thinks Heal Area is good.
