Curse

Earlier today we were going after the zaishen bounty. I joined a group, only to find there was another spirit spammer already in. Well, I ran a restoration build, and that was that. But I did notice that this person was a pushy asshole who tried to act as though she knew everything, even when she was clearly wrong, and thought that playing for four years made her a good player.

So, since I had Feast of Souls in my build, I made sure to kill off her spirits regularly.

We ended up in the same group for the zaishen mission, though running different builds, so I brought along Gaze of Fury for the same purpose.

Because it's fun

It's part of the 4chan mentality.

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

Hes not ignorant, you just have bad reading comprehension.

Deliberate Act(s) of Sabotage?

welcome to pugs.

Naming two kinds of types

One.. Leeches (either unfortunate or a restless passenger without a runner)

This type isn't doing his task due to a wanton desire to destroy the team
Its because
he doesnt have the "veteran" skills, or don't like adapting.
He could be inept, clueless, bad at tactics or just lacks the desire too perform the given task/challenge.

Melee leeches are usually gets away with this behavior, Since a Individual Melee character in general doesn't do by itself a huge impact in the battle. They need to run up & catch individual foes in order to attack.
It shouldn't be the end of the party if one warrior dies. which is why these melee leeches often isn't noticed.

Old prophesies days: farmer wannabe smiting monks, made a bad reputation for smiters.
Old faction days:assassins wannabe tanks, made a bad reputation for assassins.

"worst" :invited proclaimed Healing prayer monk casts Meteor & Meteor shower and complains about energy.

Two.. Avengers or Terrorist

Clueless or Pissed off player or Joker that preys on players. They actually go out to harm the party. Often quite intentional.
aggro a crowd and returns for healing (with aggro) to the back-lining healers.

shadowform assassin runs off compass and returns (during battle) with a huge ball of extra aggro.

Favorit: Not skipping the cut scene?:Necromancer Minion Master rage quits and turns its minions hostile upon the unsuspecting party. Was Common in early factions when cut scenes counted against the overall bonus timer. Also due the cut-scenes degened killed the undead minions .

"douchbag": Condition necro/ranger using Edge of Extinction, Frozen soil, Pestilence, Rotting Flesh and Virulence (elite)
Humanoid foes? Rotting flesh and summons Edge of Extinction.
Several party members dead? Summons Frozen soil. and recast it.

---
Tell tell signs of a bad PVE party setup
Frequent Dying's and long-winded battles.

Indications of lousy tanks (aggro-holding)
Friendly softies (healers and casters) dying at aggro

Indications of lousy tanks (non aggro-holding)
Enemy healers unmolested
Battles taking to long

Indications of lousy healing
multiple Slow casting spells (1+ s), multiple similar effect spells (3+), party wiping from few non boss foes. Casting damage skills. Needed NPCs dying

Indications of a lousy damage dealer
Battles taking to long
Foes unmolested.

I hoped there was some more story behind it but oh well reason as good as any other

One guy was constantly spamming me with pls help with NM here, there. Every primary quest was so hard he had to ask. So instead of running him (that how help usually looks like in early missions) I took my low level wammo. I was not stalked by him ever again.

Seems that acts of sabotage are often hmmm asked for?
