Nope, i only know of people posting threads moaning they've been banned. I myself reported someone (with screenshots) for making sexual suggestions, telling me he'd rape me and kill my boyfriend, and 3 days after the "it'll be kept private, however dealing with matter so its closed" reply, he was online. So I personally think its all rubbish

Yes, they do ban people for bad behavior. Sometimes it's for a day or two, sometimes they'll take away all that person's "property," maybe leaving them with the worst weapon they have. Usually they won't permanently ban someone unless they've got a record as troublemakers.

I won't quote LouAl's large post, but I have often found "biggest jerks" as people who absolutely insisted that they knew the only correct way to do a mission or quest and insisted that everyone do it that way, without first getting agreement from the entire party. Admittedly, for most missions, there are several "right ways" to do them and several "wrong ways". But in LouAl's case with Thirsty River, going after the priest first is actually one of the "wrong ways" to do it. Maybe the guy did it like that before with an over powered team with few squishies. But tactically, it simply doesn't make sense. Its like my earlier post in this thread with some party member suddenly insisting we do the Aurora mission her way, a way that was bound to fail.

What irritates me are people who won't take the time before a mission to decide and agree on a strategy, particularly for those missions like Thunderkeep and Thirsty and Aurora where such a strategy is really important.

I was a jerk today. This was in Random Arenas and I was teamed up with a warrior decked out in 15k armor. He would constantly keep calling out his weapons, even in the middle of battle. (He had a Victo's Axe and a Magmas Shield). To top it off, before the gates would open, he'd ping all over the minimap and doodle on it for no reason. When we would win, he'd start calling the other team noobs. This is what happend when I'd had enough....

-Warrior: I'm Weilding a Victo's Axe and a Magmas Sheild.
-Jerk (me): I dont give a flying f*ck what you're weilding, stop acting like a f*cking retard you f*cking worm.
-Warrior has left the game.

I wish these jerks would just leave mothers out of their stupid rants. As a mother and a daughter this just offends me.

Haha - I have thought about doing this before, but never have. When people say it Over and Over and Over what they are weilding.

I also hate when i am playing my monk and everytime someone gets a hex or condition they say a million times I have whatever on me! I have this on me! I have that on me!

In fact that brings me to another Jerk situation, Someone kept saying that they had something on them and i showed how much energy i had and they said "you stupid motherf---ing monk you dont have enough f---ing energy you suck you stupid monk!

So later i was a jerk when they died and someone in our group whispered me, they begged me to to rez them so i didn't lol

We still got the mission just fine though.

telling others what hex you have on is prety good, what if u have SS on you and no 1 has remove hex? you run around and do nothing or u just attck and kill your self and your team members.

Buying lots of material for my 15k armour:
here is what (IMO) a jerk

trader bones price: 10 for 100g

me: WTB 150 bones
jerk: I have 150
me: how much?

Trade window opens

me: how much?
jerk: come on I dont have all day
me: ok just show me what u have
jerk offers 150 bones
me: how much u want for it?
jerk: 1,5k
me: lol thats the price at trader
jerk: no its not
me the normal current price for bones is 5g each
jerk: NO ITS NOT try buying it for 750g
me: I did few min a go
me: I have bought 200 bones for 1k
Jerk is ignoring you

/sigh

I want to buy and tell them the price I'm willing to give (I allways pay the normal price, never 2 low), if they dont want it so don't trade, whay getting ignor franzy?

Hmmm, something I don't understand here. The trader price is 10 for 100g or 150 for 1500g. And you wanted to buy 150 bones from this guy for 750g? But what could the jerk have gotten for the bones if he sold them to the trader? I never dealt with bones before, but are the traders' buying price less than half of the selling price? Because if not, then the jerk could just as well have sold all his bones to the trader and saved everyone a lot of time and aggravation.

Jerk we were with last night in a tombs raid.

We had gone through once and got to the second level pretty well. We had two uppity monks who insited that we were all noobs and not worthy of their time. So they quit at the beginning of the second level. We proceed to seek noble deaths (suicide) and reform. Of the three eles we had one left immeditately and one other stayed.

While we were reforming the group we got another ele (and I was one also). And he decides to tell us how to build our character (Echo nuke). I politely say to him, that I don't care for the echo build for my style, but everyone has their own way and he can play whatever he likes.

He then goes on to a rant about how I was playing flare and other firetoss spells and I a retard. Continuing converstion went something like this:

Him- "Flare only does 4 dmg"
Me: "Well no it does more like 35-40"
Him-Why bring weak spells?
Him-I can do 91 dmg
Me:So can I, and while your waiting for your meteor/storm and echo to recharge I am blasting away at the escaped grasp who is about to kill you.
Me: "You do understand that I have more than just flare on my skill bar don't you?"
Me:It is all a matter of balance. I just don't like the echo build for my stlye.
Him- Something that didn't make sense
Me:Sorry I have no idea what you just said
Me:Oh I get it, you like to do the Orion victory fireworks
Me:Victory Meteor Shower FTW!
Him- Dude, how old are you? Why don't you learn to speak
Me:30, and I was just making a point.

He continues to argue some more and tell us how are build suck, etc.

Me:Well, it has been nice talking to you. Be sure to tell all your buddies what n00bs we are on the way out....

Kicked him from the team

He then proceeds to message a guildmate in the team and calls her many names, etc.

So we reform the group and head on it.

Right when we get in I get a pm from him:

Him - Flar retard
Me:"Jesus loves you"
Him - Wha?
He proceeds to continually try to berate me, telling me how many level 20 chars he has,etc, etc. Then I've had enough:

Me:"So this is the point when I take a screenshot and get your account banned?"
Him - Banned? For what?
Me:"Harassment"
Him - You're a retard
Me:"You're the one who messaged me"
Him - I'm just trying to teach you something
Me:"You make a horrible instructor"
Him - I win
Him - U win

Didn't hear from him for a minute. So I message him back:
"And I am sure we have both beaten this multiple times with our respective builds, so let's not even get into that"
Him - I said U win

And I didn't hear from him again. We proceed to defeat the bosses and collect our greens.

I was actually having quite a bit of fun with it. Would have continued except that I was in the middle of fighting at the time and didn't want to let the team down.

It is always better to take the high road when dealing with jerks. Don't ever let them make you stoop to their level. Either ignore then or take the high road in your retorts. Don't cuss and swear and call them names or make assumptions about their playing level or skills. It only adds fuel to the fire and ends up with people on ignore lists.

Better to have them waste their slots on ignore than yours

Last I checked, you can sell Bones to the merchant for 3g each, or to the Material Trader for 3g each. Kinda sucks.

Tried to complete a few missions last night. Got a good group together and started the Wild mission. Everything was going great - we had a guy who had done it before, so he knew mission and bonus. We get bonus, when this bonehead charges ahead (Warrior/Mo) and proceeded to kill our bonus. Everyone was telling him "STOP" and "Don't kill them", and he relpied "I can kill them!". So we lost bonus - leader got pissed and left. Bonehead died and left - hs buddy left, so there were 3 of us left. So we had to quit... Similar situtation in next mission, only this time there were people that only wanted bonus and left right after we got it... Frustrating night.... I barely got anything done and wasted a lot of time

Am I whining - well maybe....

Angel Develin · Feb 02, 2006, 05:07 PM // 17:07

the trader gives 3g each for bones.

This reminded me of an incident. I honestly don't know who was the jerk, but it ticked me off. I used to have a guildmate who insisted on PUG's for every quest and mission if guild members were not available. My husband and I were helping her with Elona Reach and she got a few others to join. Since it was her mission, she asked everyone in teamchat who wanted to lead, etc. No one said anything. Since my husband and I had done the mission already, she named me leader.

We entered the mission and failed the first time because of lack of communication and other reasons. We entered the mission again and my guildie again said that I had done this mission before so follow me. One warrior in our group, who had something to do with the failure the first time kept insisting we go another direction to get the second crystal. I kept telling them that we would die if we went that way (same thing happened first mission).

The thing is, she was right and we did get the mission finished (after she laughed when it worked her way), but she said nothing at the start of the mission, didn't say anything about knowing what she was doing and kept arguing with me, the leader of the group, when I wanted to go the other direction. She never said anything during the rest of the mission. If she had said something at anytime that indicated that she knew she was doing, I would have gladly let her be leader. Instead, I came out looking like the jerk.

Mavrik · Feb 02, 2006, 05:17 PM // 17:17

thats when before you leave the outpost you make sure everyone is here to do the same thing. "mission and bonus" if people say just mission, or just bonus... find another group. Also before you get to the bonus, if anyone knows it, make sure they tell everyone what to to. I don't know how many times I have "Now do not aggro the flame bearers, we need to follow them until they open the gates for us to get to the bonus area" and some idiot never fails to go run off after the flame bearers...

Hendorr · Feb 02, 2006, 05:29 PM // 17:29

It's really important to ask why people are doing the mission. When you proceed in the game, there will always be some dickheads that only join for a skillcap and then leave. So make sure who you are inviting. If you join a team ask them what the team is for. It happend to me alot of times that I ended up in a bonus team only, just because I wasn't asking where the team was for. It's really important before you enter the mission to ask if anyone knows the bonus and tell everyone, if someone knows the bonus, to listen to that guy and not just rush. I hate ppl that aren't reading the chat screen. Grrr...

xxSilhouette · Feb 02, 2006, 05:35 PM // 17:35

It is a waste of time and it is very frustrating, I've learnt to look on the bright side and think 'well i know the mission a little better now, and now i have to go back but i still got a few drops (even if they are worthless) and some gold.

So its not a total lost.
