My biggest jerk award goes to the Wammo we just beat in a GvG We lost one monk immediately through a crash, and one of our Rangers got disconnected after 10 minutes, leaving us 2 people down.

In a battle lasting just under an hour, where my Mesmer went from 60% dp to 10% morale, we finally win and say GG. The Wammo replies N00bs.

I just thought that was priceless. To lose to a guild ranked way lower than you, and who had 2 less people. If we are N00bs, what does that make them?

Found this jerk over the weekend doing Ring of Fire mission.

I play as often as possible with the friends that I have accumulated over the past months, but we are always happy to find new players along the way that play in a friendly, fun and considerate manner like us. Here I was helping out three other friends with this mission. The other 4 party members were new to us. One of them was a warrior who we were really happy with, as his game play was as friendly and team-spirited as ours. Another person who we didn't know before was a monk healer who also played in a very friendly and team spirited manner. As second monk we had Lina the henchman.

The jerk in the group was another warrior. When attacking the first set of Mursaat, this warrior died in like no time. It seems as if his armour was not infused judging by how quickly he died, but we never did find this out for sure. He blamed our monk for letting him die, and started calling him a terrible monk. He continued to mob this monk when he died the next time while fighting the group surrounding the first ether seal. Our monk protested, of course, and asked the warrior if his armour was infused. But then jerk warrior started in with this "what is your rank" BS. Jerk warrior's rank was something like 27 and this was apparently supposed to mean he was a far better PVE player than the rest of us.

Now this all made me start to see red. We do not like people mobbing other people in our groups, do not tolerate the use of the word "noob", etc. There was nothing wrong with the monk's game play and we certainly didn't want him to leave the party on account of a jerk warrior. So I started spamming stuff like "I have rank 0 and I am a very experienced PVE player" and "rank doesn't mean s--- here in a PVE mission" to shut him up. At this point I would have preferred that jerk warrior left the group rather than our nice monk. Fortunately the rest of our group also began to mob jerk warrior, saying he should apologize, etc.

Jerk warrior finally calmed down and we continued. We did the bonus so if jerk warrior wasn't infused before, he was at least for the rest of the mission.

After the mission while still together as a group in the next mission town, my friends and I said thanks to the monk and to the nice warrior in the group. We invited the nice warrior and the monk to add us to their friend's list, saying that it was always nice to meet nice players and that we hoped to play with them again. Heh heh, jerk warrior was still in our party at this point and so could hear what we said. We certainly did not extend such an invitation to jerk warrior!

The biggest jerks are the monks standing around the storage and just open trade and say "you buy?" and when you tell them no they keep doing it.

i bought a 10/9 sundering string off of one of the farmers for around 7k. i decided not to splurge any more, but the guy kept pestering me to buy more saying crap like "you rich" and "you buy more?". i'd already spent 20k of my 30k that i had earned, and i didn't want to spend anymore. eventually i got him off my back, but it was still irritating to have him PMing me like that...

Well99 · Jan 02, 2006, 11:44 PM // 23:44

To me the biggest jerk tends to be those that call others "NOOB" .I get a kick out of it.
You dont buy what they are selling..Noob
Some warrior rushes out and gets killed as was brought out earlier..Noob
The party scatters in all directions and the poor monk is trying his best to heal and someone dies ..Noob
3 guys in party decide to be leader and try different paths... so if you dont follow your Noobs.
Someone ask a question he is a Noob.
I been playing GW for about 3 months and reminds me of D.Some of the folks out there seem to feel the need to feed thier ego by trying to make someone else feel like they are less.I call it the little johnson syndrome.
It is a game to have fun.For everybody...

Not too sure about this being the biggest jerk, but it should go in here, I found it more hillarious than frustrating though.

Was doing Elona Reach (with bonus) with a friend yesterday. we get the first group, one of our warriors had told me in advance that he could heal as I had advertised for a monk. me, being me, figured he'd change to war. skills after seeing we have a monk. (my second mistake was not asking the monk if he was a healer).

So.. we get in, and find out our 'healing' warrior carries a candy cane hammer.

We get the first part of the bonus done, he's still carrying a candy cane hammer.. someone asks if he's gonna fight with that the entire way.. his answer was yes.

Meanwhile, we're doing ok against the minotaurs, but the healing department seems to be lacking a bit (2 dead), and I see our candy hammer warrior casting protective spirit.

by the time we get to where the timer starts, we start running into problems (someone's idea of pulling was to charge in, neither one of the warriors though). It suddenly occures to me that the monk is doing VERY little healing, and go check what she's casting... Conjure Phantasm!

It ended up to the point of me, who was playing mes, pointing out that she should use fast casting, not divine favour, she laughed at it.

The skill bar, from what I saw, consisted of Healing breeze (for herself) conjure phantasm, some mantra, power spike and restore life.

Needless to say, we didn't make it.

What really got me laughing though, is finding people again a little later, and having someone invite me (as a Mesmer at Elona?). Upon checking who's in the team, I notice our mesmer monk is with them, but they have another monk too.. Whispered their leader pointing out that their monk isn't a monk as such, and got told 'join our party, we have 2 monks' to which I quickly replied, giving the skill list of the mesmer wannabe.

Dunno if they managed or not, just the weirdest experience I've ever had with pugs, and a lesson to ALWAYS ask everyone what they're running.

I'm cursed with meeting jerks in GW.

I started a Monk because there never seems to be one around when you need one. I was doing a desert mission with a PUG and was the only healer. I warned them all that I'm not super experienced at monkee-ing, but I knew the mission and would try hard to keep them alive. It was the one where a ghost takes you to the alter and you have to kill another ghost, and there are those siege worms all over the place.

The beginning of the mission, 2 people who were guild mates and a random third guy were insulting me the entire way. Their health bars never dropped below 75%, so I don't know what the problem was. We get to the bridge, and most of the archers on the sides are down, and there was only 1 left, so I talked to the ghost to bring him closer, and the party leader begain "shouting" at me that he left the ghost there for a reason and that I'm a noob. I start to explain that I need to talk to him anyway, because I have to stay back in order to heal and not take damage, as well as to protect the ghost, and the barrage of insults start up again. I apologized to the others that were completely silent through all this (which i find to be jerky behaviour as well), and said that I was going to leave because this mission was not worth putting up with them. They said, fine, go. So I did. That was the first time that I have ever purposefully dropped from a mission group where things were going well. I felt bad, but I hoped that they all died painful, horrible deaths since the only monk left.

1) Defusing "noob callers"

"Someone needs a nap."
"Someone didn't get their ritalin."
"Someone had too many pop tarts."

These are time tested by me in this game and others, and are guaranteed to infuriate noob callers. Use them with my blessing.

2) Guild jerks: I am on a hiatus from GW because of the difficulty of finding a good guild.

If you misrepresent your guild as to number of active members or amount of pvp/pve done to get warm bodies, you sir (or madam), are a jerk.

If you as a guildleader use your guildmates as monkbots once you find out they can monk, and yet you yourself never seem to be monking, you sir (or madam), are a jerk.

If you as a guildleader or officer use your guildmates as a pvp "lego set" and expect them to stand around for hours while you try to work out crappy builds on the fly, you sir (or madam), are a jerk.

Great thread, fun reading.

Locking the trade window might slow me down but it's my conversation that is the art of scamming. I promise whatever the player wants to hear in order to lower their defenses. My most powerful tool is other people's greed. If I ask a room how much I should sell my black dye for and someone says 1k. Then they are so eager they should be scammed. I make about 40k on a good day and I am only on my first character a lvl 16 W/Mo

Take it from someone who's been there: threats work wonders.
A simple statement like:
'The healing stops until the insults do' works wonders.

As the only monk in party, you have them by the collective balls, so to speak.
It's an arrogant way of thinking, but people are going to be asses regardless.

And don't feel bad about doing it, anyone who willingly insults their lifeline
deserves it.

Lg5000, I've had the same experience as you... a monk who uses Conjure Phantasm instead of bringing heal spells, except my situation was during a farm run for IDS. I died and decided to watch how the monks were doing... and I see her spamming conjure. Upon confrontation, she has the audacity to tell me "shut up, you don't know what I do." I'm thinking, I suuure don't because this is a standard farm run, where 4 other peeps needed your HEALING powers, not some pathetic health degeneration on one enemy for 10 seconds... Needless to say, I did ragequit. I mean, c'mon man, it's a group - you have to pull your own weight.

I take the initiative and say something:

me: I'm saying quit aggroing all the mobs to the team
him: whatever, your probably just some kid or some loser with no girlfriend playing this %!@# all day.
me: actually, my girlfriend is in our group and I'm standing right next to her <standing next to her>
him: you have no idea what you're talking about
him: how old are you?
me: 21
my g/f: he is
him: yeah, so you're probably in college right?
me: yeah
him: how much math have you taken? You should know calculus.
me: yeah
him: then tell me the derivative of 2x^3
him: it's a basic calc question
me: 6x^2
<ingame battle ensues and he misses my reply>
him: so you don't know the answer?
him: what is it?
me: I already said it.
me: 6x^2
him: I'll accept that
him: it's just that there's a lot of snotty kids playing the game acting like they know everything.

Now, what I really don't understand is why so many people dwell on the fact that a large number of people who play this game are children. For goodness sake its a game after all is it not? I think it is more sad when a 30 year old is sitting there playing a game- making fun of kids who play, insted of ahving a job or life.

well to be fair the average gamer is 30 years old, which makes since: born in 1970s-- 1984 nintendo comes out, hooked as teens-- and so on
