This is pretty much my philosophy as well. I don't have many folks on my ignore list. The ones on the list are there because they act like whiny oversexed kids in town. I really don't wanna hear how you "did everyone's mother" last night.

I don't have kids myself, but if I did I probably would not allow them to play GW. There is just too much chat in town that I don't want a young child to see. (And yes, I realize that most of the garbage is coming from young children.)

If you catch someone trolling for a sucker call them on the price in public chat. That's what I always do. If I see some joker talking about WTS X item PM with Price, and I know what that item is worth I'll offer it if I have it. If they start Caps locking me for it then I call em on it. " What do you mean 100K+3ecto that item is only worth 40K" That generally shuts them up. There is a lot of build discrimination. Don't sweat that though. If you look hard enough you'll find teams that will take pretty much anything and surprisingly enough they still make it through.

There is an inordinate amount of rudeness in the game though, but mostly from ignorant people. I know there was this one guy in Madness a couple of days ago just being racist and rude to anyone with an Arabic character name, like mine. It was me and a couple of other players in there with Arabic style names and he was going on and on about raghead this, towelhead that, taliban something else and then to make maters worse had the gall to hide behind 9/11 to support his racism. Needless to say he went on the ignore list along with all the ignorant rednecks that supported him.

Pff I rarely see crap like that, only sex jokes that don't bother me because they're not funny enough. The only thing that bothers me sometimes is that people take me too seriously, I've been called a nazi several time because I cracked some joke about 'SS-necros'. Probably just a couple of kids that just learned in school that fascism is bad, I read enough about the holocaust to know that as well, but sometimes people have differences about whats funny and what tasteless.

I normally ignore people with poor grammar, but i'll cut you some slack for now.

Yes, some people will laugh and ignore players with ghastly bars.

IE. Wa/mo with power attack, mending, or vig spirit. Monks with healing breeze. Anyone besides an MM with heal area.

if you are going to bring Mending, at least bring Echo too.

I am one of those that on occasion sells with make offer. I don't do it to gouge anyone. Sometimes I just want to get rid of the item, and I do make outlandishly low sales because I want to play and not research prices. If I have a good Gold item, I don't want to spend hours trying to sell it. Sometimes a level 8 or less with no guild tags will offer 100g for something a merchant will give 400+ for, I take their money. Why? Because someone is getting good use out of it, and it isn't the merchant. I am not 'rich'. I maintain around 200k in storage and 10k to 20k on each character. I have what I need when I need it. Thanks A-Net for ID and salvage kits.

Sometimes the buyers think they know more than the seller. I have been called a noob for trying to sell the -50 cesta for 3k. The guy was spamming to buy 1 and I had 2. I offered it to him for 3k. He laughed and said it wasn't worth that. He PM'd me an hour or so later asking if I still had it, cause everyone else wanted 5k to 7k for it. I told him I had sold it even tho I hadn't. ( I now have 3.)

I have no one on ignore. I have been put on ignore by a runner who took my money and disappeared. I put them on friends list to keep track of them and everytime I saw them on, I asked them who they were ripping off now. After a couple days of it, I got a message I was being ignored. When I see this person on, I go to where I had hired him and if he is there, I spam BEWARE of so-so.

As far as builds on teams, I don't care your build. I am just glad to get a team. I don't care if we even have a monk or not. I take care of my own healing anyway. I don't ridicule a person's build, but I may offer a suggestion.

I have always shared any knowlege I have. I answer questions that I know the answer to. I PM it to them unless the are "offline", then publicly in caps if there is lots of scrolling.

Oh, 1 more thing, I am grey haired, too.

I know it's petty, but the one thing that gets under my skin more than anything else is....

"BUYING All your Imperial Commendations - 100g!!!"
"WTB All Monastery Credits - 50g!!! Will buy any amount you have!!!"

These folk are just trying to scam newbies who haven't figured out the worth of these items yet and I think it's just low and rotten. Whenever I see one of these scammers I respond in open chat that "<insert name here> is a scammer. Credits are worth 100g and Commendations are 200g" and I'll offer to buy any from his prospective customers for that price.

Usually the scammer whispers something that I can't repeat in mixed company, and/or tries to convince me that he's not a scammer, just an honest businessman trying to make an honest buck with his measly 5k savings.

I totally despise when they do that and I'll always say something about it. They need to leave mom's out of their trash mouths.

I only put people on ignore if they are being nasty for no reason. I've had people pm, calling me names and stuff and then put me on ignore. Guess they don't want any feedback of their opinion.

Not totally grey, but getting there.

It's the same with trade contracts. When I hear that, I always tell them that they can use them to get gems and don't sell them so cheap. The scammers totally hate that.

To the op, there are always children who call you noob for the dumbest of reasons. I always tell them, only noobs call others noob. It confuses them and in turn, shuts them up for a bit. lol

It's a good idea to keep all channels off and turn them on as necessary (ie. team-chat if you're PuGing). I also set 'offline' most of the time because I talk to my friends and guildmates over vent, so in-game chat is largely unnecessary. A few months ago, before I started closing all channels by default, 99% of the chat I saw ingame was brain-rotting garbage. I can't imagine what it's like now.

As for using bad builds, the furthest I'll go is kicking people. I've stopped having to put them on ignore because they can't PM me through 'offline' mode anyway.
