If you suspect that someone is going to be a 55 monk and try to take you for a ride, have anyone else in your party that's either monk primary or secondary bring Vital Blessing ... cast it on them if you see them acting up, +alot of HP, poof. there goes the 55 build. now more like the 200-300ish build, and "zomg i just got killed!". Sooooo dastardly

OH MY GOD. that is the BEST idea ever. brilliant, too i might add. i have to start doing that whenever i go to the ToA. i wish i could see the look on their faces when that happens to them.

Oh, a screenshot is worth a thousand words ... I've done it twice now, and the reactions are just great. I'm pretty sure I screened the most recent one, and will be sure to so to anything in the future. When I get home from work i'll check and re-post

Normal sequence of events:

Lord Iowerth: I'm using Vital Blessing on Stupid Scammer Monk!
Stupid Scammer Monk: OMGWTFHAXXOR!
*dies*
Party: HAHAHAHA
Player Stupid Scammer Monk has left the game

saphir · Jan 14, 2006, 03:25 AM // 03:25

yes, plz post screenshots. usually their reactions are hilarious.. as when they try to infiltrate parties they want to be as unobstrusive as possible so they're always mysteriously silent.

last time i had 2 solo mo/w in my party, leaving me as the only real healer (mo/w no less) to take care of 2 stanceless w/mo's and 4 casters. of course the soloers they run off and aggro as soon as they zone in

throw a vital blessing on each of them and they coudn't stop spamming chat. omfg, you noob!
get it off of me!
i have low hp!
omfg, who cast vital blessing on me!
noob!
noob!
help me!
*solomonk* is dead!
*solomonk* is dead!
*solomonk* is dead!
omg!

someone res sigs one of them. i 'm a monk and i can't let them die, muhaha. another vital blessing.

omfg! etc etc

turns out the necro team leader had no clue. one of the mo/w had said they would tank.. even brought rebirth and spellbreaker, so i knew they were not trying to run off and solo on their own. the other solo monk however could not answer my questions about why he did not say anything knowing full well that there were 2 wars in our group.

anyway, the moral of the story is.. bring vital blessing for a good time and take lots of screencaps. i should have lol

I just started i ranger and realized that rangers have a similar skill to vital that would mess up the 55 solo monk.

Beast Mastery : Symbiosis
Create a level 1-8 Spirit. For creatures within its range, for each enchantment on a creature, that creature\'s maximum health is increased by 27-125. This Spirit dies after 30-126 seconds.

dunno how many of you remember my post in this thread about the guy who said he'd rape me and kill my bf... well he tried it on again, with some very adult, pornographic descriptions, and finally some racist comments (against blacks, despite me being white irl and ingame). I reported him with screenshots... guess what? Anet did nothing. He's still online today, 3 days after they sent their "privacy policy, has been dealt with" message.

Load of bull. My view of Anet went down the drain.

I'd post the screenshots here but I don't want kids to see that kinda thing.

There we go, all names removed

art_ · Jan 14, 2006, 05:52 PM // 17:52

tbh, this sort of thing doesn't annoy me enough for me to want to get in a fight with some about it such as how u did in the above SS.

Evil Hypnotist · Jan 14, 2006, 06:21 PM // 18:21

unfortunately I can't see this kind of problem EVER going away, but like art_ says, its just a small problem ^^. Best way to go about it is only buying from people in the trade channel and try and get your guild/friends to follow suit

Lost · Jan 14, 2006, 07:18 PM // 19:18

Since Anet doesn't inforce the spamming rules, do what everyone else does: Turn the All channel off in spam cities.

Mavrik · Jan 14, 2006, 07:18 PM // 19:18

I hate the trade channel and have it turned off. I often turn off the local chat to because of the spam and stupidity. Pre Searing is pretty bad with people spamming "WTS (proceeds to list all items required to craft new armor or quest items) " I wish as soon as someon posted WTS or WTB... it posts it in the trade channel. It can edit swearing, how come it can't do this?

Eaimirth Etaivella · Jan 14, 2006, 07:21 PM // 19:21

When you are bored, have crashing internet, and can't do much else. You take a whack at taking down the ToS breakers. Think if alot of people took pics like this and sent them to anet, we would have alot less of it.

fiery · Jan 14, 2006, 07:24 PM // 19:24

i turn off emotes and trade channel i keep on all/guild/and teams i only turn trade on if im looking for buyers for my excess materials

Eaimirth Etaivella · Jan 14, 2006, 07:45 PM // 19:45

Its to the point of exhuastion, I have a full ignore list, all of people who spam the local channel. The trade channel is empty and I am starting to see people shout lfg in it because no one is even listening in the local channel. The spam is insane, nonstop, and insulting. I personally wonder if they just can't read or are they like this in real life.

Some guildies and I were running around in Team Arenas and completely smoked another guild team 14-0 on the Fire Isle map. One of their boys had a mouth on him, blah de blah, we took it to GvG.

And then we smoked them in under 10.

Me: "Anything else to say?"
Him: "OMFG Go kill urself!"
Me: "What?"
Him: "Just kill urself, ur so dumb, just get a gun and kill urself, omg."
Me: "What does that have to do with your getting owned?"
Him: "GAWD NEWB just kill urself! Hang urself cut ur wrists or sumthing! Ur so gay just kill urself!!1!11"
Me: "Are you alright?"
Him: "U suck at gw newb kill urself. Kill urself do it!"

Yeah, that was a good day.

I ran into a couple today in Hell's Precipice. The first was a Monk who was LFG, but said he wouldn't DO anything if invited into a party ("I will not heal you...") even admited that he was a leech! (an honest jerk :/)

And then, after 1/2 an hour trying to get in a group (Tanks are a dime-a-dozen there LOL) I finally got going with a group. While in mission, we had a Necro that decided in the middle of a battle with a group of Titans & sparks, that my character's name was "childish, n00bish, and thought up by a 3-year old, etc." So ,there we are, fighting for our lives, and this knothead's TYPING INSULTS! And this coming from a guy with a name straight out of "Star Wars" And no, it wasn't "Legolas Skywalker." :P I died 3 times in that battle thanks to this silliness & the ranger not keeping winter up.

DISCLAIMER: I know of no person, nor have I ever seen anyone, with the name "Leoglas Skywalker."

IMehler · Jan 15, 2006, 09:42 AM // 09:42

Lol. Yeah. The idiots who bitch about names are a real nightmare at GW.

VGJustice · Jan 15, 2006, 09:56 AM // 09:56

I've got a name story: My guild leader!

Ok, try to bear with me, as I don't want to reveal his actual name, but if I reference it too closely, then I might as well just say it (he may or may not be that imaginative with names. Good thing the game isn't centered around this). Ok...

His name is the name of a particular, well known race from standard RPG circles. His character, on the other hand, looks NOTHING like his name suggests. And, every now and then, some "person" with too much time on their nerdy little hands mentions this. This particular act is becoming very nearly a plague to him, as he now will boot people from groups for making this amazingly over-used joke. I think it's hilarious, but I also don't really care. A name is a name, right?

OK heres my new one from today. Hubby and I are standing in Ring of Fire looking for a group. First one just really sucked we all died.

Back in town we have 6/8 and no monks (good luck finding any there). Then we see two monks a prot and a healer lfg but they would only join if there was a bat necro. Now usually i completly hate the job of bat. Don't get me wrong I keep my lesser blood ritual on at all times for monks ele etc. but for my elite I love my ss.

Just to be nice and to help get everyone through the mission i changed to full bat. Everything starts off ok untill we get to the ethral seals (for those who havent been there yet when you are within a certain range of these things they drain your energy and they have lightning attacks so your life goes down as well.) Now with blood is power I have to sacrafice 33% of my max health to give someone +6 energy regen.

You would think that monks who know they need energy to heal people and protect them would stay out of there...nope both of them ran straight into the middle of it, still I did what I could but they kept saying they needed energy faster then i could recharge the life to do it with (btw this whole time im using bip on them they are not healing me at all I had to rely on blood renewal to save me).

Ok whatever next couple parts we start a fight I hit blood renewal then click thier name and hit bip next thing I know I'm standing in the middle of the fight next to the tanks and the monk getting attacked, obviously I died. Both monks were in the middle of the fight by the tanks and watched me die. when the fight was over one of them said "gee you know you really should be more careful about sacraficing your life like that." ummm...it wasnt life sacrafice that did it it was the fight you pulled me into...ok didnt say anything and let it go. I did mention a couple times very politley "could you try to stay out of the seals range?" "Could you try to stay back a little from the battle?"

Next area same order for skills and now there is a second group of enemies comming in from behind because when I went to bip the monk she was so close to them one of us aggroed them. Everyone yelled at me called me an idiot told me to be more careful. So i stopped and said "fine I have a new rule...the next time you monks run up to the battle and stand right beside the tanks for whatever reason you feel you have to even though you know you can heal from a distance then I refuse to use bip and die again because your not healing me. You want your bip stay out of the fight." I asked nicly a few times and they ignored me.

They said hows is our fault you died. someone else sort of stuck up for me and said "well it is kind of sad shes sacraficing her life to be your battery and you cant even keep her healed" so then they were like "oh so are you punishing us?" Next battle I stay back but its a long stretch of lava that we have to go across and we get attacked by lava imps along the way...so I hit bip on both monks about 30 seconds after the last one i was dead...all i typed was "...ummm..." one of the monks imediatly "it wasnt my fault you ran too far away from me for me to heal you" "umm number one you were the last one i biped you were right behind me more then close enough...number two ok if you say you were too far away then why didnt you heal anyone else"

(as a side not neither of them did anything for my hubby either and they didnt know we were married but you would think a prot monk would put enchants on a tank and a healer would make sure the tank stayed alive).

Anyway everyone but the monks died in that fight and they didnt even try to rez anyone so obviously the enemies turned on them when there was no one else and yet another failed attempt at the mission. Funny part is we went back later with a guildie tank and a buddy monk of ours and henchies...the henchies did a better job then the real people...we beat the mission.
