Curse

lol nice.

just got my new biggest jerk. I'm actually suprised this person managed to get this far.

was doing Gates of Krita, and im hurrying through all the missions, so i accept the first invite i get, as I like PuGs since i cant make any in game friends (awwwww)

Anyway it was a really annoying sugar-rushed R/Mo who kept repeating everything several times, from "I know where Oink is" x 5, to "No the bonus isn't in water its the pig"

Of course at this oint alarm bells are going. then i see in full chat this R/Mo, who was i think lvl 11 "LFP Mission and bonus, Ranger with Poison Arrow!!!"

Oh god the doom, so many skeletons, so little use for poison arrows, but still i stayed in the pug, since the rest of the team seemed decent.

We enter mission, first few seconds N/Me 15 drops out. Bummer but we go on. We get up to the bridge after a couple of "wtf my poison arrow didnt work" So i started teasing by saying I was applying Poison, which i didnt take, but do have, no clue what I was using.

Anyway, at the bridge, really really bad spawn, maybe 20 enemies to the elft, ive not seen so many there before, only 2 accross tho, i begin to move forward, drawing lines to indicate that only an idiot would agro that group with our levels. (at this point i was only one above 12)

Guess what R/Mo runs in and agros the group., as im killing the ones on other side of the bridge, yup, our jerk. She died, Monk died, other R/Mo died, me and E/Mo left.

Im stuck on one side of bridge and he on other, after a while of letting the immortal Oink try his ahnd at destorying them we tried to res. Being a clever warrior, I had the signet, and always check im using it on sum1 with res. before i could get a target, the E/Mo died resing. But mvoed them off the monk.

cue our R/Mo going quickly quickly res me, res me.

ME: "you got res"
R/Mo: "no"
Me: "...., then i'll take the monk"
R/Mo: "no me, i have poison arrow and we can run to cut scene"

straining my memory i wasnt 100% sure if there was a cut scene in town, so didnt wanna risk it. begin using sig, but enemy come back, so i move away.

R/mo "why not res me"
Me: "you dont have res.... why dont you have res"
consider that apart from me (W/R) and monk primary the entire team was monk secondary.
R/Mo "Dont need it" (<< Had a level 7 Black Bear they were so proud of)
Me: "Why not"
R/Mo "monks job"

so i burst into a huge explanation of why everyon needs to carry res, especially monk secondaries, and that i was inteligent enough to bring the sig, while she decided to go for poison arrows and charm animal.

I then asked the monk if he had res, just to dbl check now i knew one didnt, and he did, but she asked me why iwas checking he had res cos hes a monk and all monks should have res, according to her....

So anyway, with no sign of the enemy moving from the corpses i was resigning myself to run and hope for a cutscene and she left after telling me to stop being so mean or she'd leave.

Anywway, run failed, so im looking for a good team in Gates now, lol. I seriously dont think ive ever ever had such a bad PUG, ive lost faith, lol

I always expect pugs to be bad, and expect to get killed. That way I can never get wrong. When doing mission in pug, simply tell yourself that you are in it for the money and not for a good gaming experience. It is beginning to work for me

I do these mission at least ten times each day. I couldn't care less if it failed or not. My Anti Jerk behaviour

Haggard · Apr 05, 2006, 02:44 AM // 02:44

^ Pretty much my philosophy

I haven't had a PUG without someone else I know in it for 6 months now, and if its a mission I'll use hench + someone I know

I don't expect anything from PUG's. I've had more good PUGs than bad ones TBH, but I'm never caught off guard by bad ones. I just shrug my shoulders and move on.

This guy just was not a jerk, but quite cueless.
I stood around in ToA, and someone advertised :"Looking for Monk and Nekro, selfinvite" so I asked him :"For what exactly?"
"what????"
"Well, UW, Fissure, Galrath, what?"
He left right after my last sentence... I think he was rather confused.

Nothing will beat the time I was in a PUG outside Ascalon and the leader all of a sudden was like "Uhhh... Player X... you're a W/Mo right?"

Player X: Yea
PUG Leader: So why are you using a longbow?

Guy was using a really fancy gold longbow that required something like 9 Marksmanship

He also kept running away from the party aggro'ing everything until I finally just quit following him to heal him and he died somewhere on the other side of the zone.

I lost faith in PUGs a while back. Really, really tried to group since it *is* a multiplayer game, but after spending something like 3 hours one morning trying to complete a mission with various PUGs that I knew I could do in half an hour with henchies, I gave up. I hench everything now. I know Anet would like us all to group, but unfortunately, they can't perform updates on the intelligence of human players.

Ah... PUG groups are awesome...

I had some of my best times in them... especially when I hit the desert as a level 9 mesmer.

Haven't had too much time to encounter jerks (noobish)
But as soon as I exited pre-searing and entered ascalon city I noticed that the !all channel was used exclusively for trade channel chat, so I said, politely: "Wouldn't the trade channel be better for that kind of thing [insert jerks name here]?".
But then he goes and says stuf like "stfu noob" and "RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO you asshole" and "i'll post whatever I want wherever I want RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOer"..
*sigh*

SaltyDog · Apr 06, 2006, 07:14 AM // 07:14

I have mine.
For months now I have gone to Surmia and have been giving people fiery dragon swords, runes, gold, mods, etc. My only requirement was that they were the first to open a trade window as the low level class I am giving stuff away for.
Tonight I got called an a-hole because I would not give my items to someone who had their secondary class what I was giving stuff
away to.
How can you get called names for giving stuff away? This is why there are more jerks in the game than good guys.
Santa of Surmia is now done because of one person.
Sad but that seems to be the nature of online humanity.

Well, I've been meaning to write my jerk story for a while now but haven't had the time... I met my first guild wars JERK last week. I was playing my ele and was trying THK for the 3rd time and got into what looked like a great group... enough healers and warriors. Well, we decided before hand what we were gonna do when we got to the keep and had to defend the king so we started fighting our way there and one of the warriors says "BRB" so were all like.. ok.. maybe he had to use the bathroom. So we wait a bit... he's not back yet. so we decide to fight the rest of the way there and he can catch up. By the time we get there we decide he must have been a moocher and isn't gonna help coz there has been no sign of him at all.So anyway... to make a long story short... with much disgust we ended up losing and being transported back to town and just a few seconds after we got back you will never guess who started running around town! Jerk Warrior Guy! So... i sent him a message asking why the heck he ditched us like that and told him it was rude to mooch and all... so he starts calling me a noob and our dialogue was somehitng like this.
Jerk: At least I've finished the game!
Me: Who says I haven't? the fact that I'm doing this mission? dude, You are doing it too!
Jerk: (insert various insults here) shut up I could OWN you in 1 on 1! (stand behind my ele and does his warrior dance)
Me:whatever man (moves away from him)
Jerk: I don't even need this mission
Me:then why are you doing it?
Jerk: (no answer)
Jerk: (finds my ele and proceeds to dance)
Me: (moves away again)
Jerk: (follows and proceeds to dance)
Me: (moves away again)
Jerk: (follows and proceeds to dance)
Me: (moves away again)
Finally I warped to another district but not before Jerk warrior types "I love you"!
My guildies and I had a good laugh! Some people in this game are just downright DUMB!

led-zep · Apr 06, 2006, 08:37 AM // 08:37

how about being in granite citadel with a guildy and someone is asking for help to do defend dronkar.
we decide to help since we have nothing to do and even get more guildy help and finish the quest. as soon as its finished and the titan lord is dead this guy who asked for help decides to start abusing us telling us how crap we are and he's so much better and that we are kids and 'noobs'.
when asked how we are crap after helping him do defend droknar on the first try he came out with the same old 'you kids are so immature, are you 10, you should get to bed' rubbish.
granted i did die a 3 or 4 times but this was due to holding position so the others could get away safely if we got overpowered (only an ele but i thought better for me to hold and die than all run and lure them with the group - we had no tank just monk,ele,rest rangers) and a quick res and we were off again.
maybe i expected too much thinking we might get 'thanks'

This character named Zellac Crom and his level 20 pig named Chuck Norris are both big jerks!

You missed that part where it stated "No posting names".

This is from a little while back... I had nothing to do, so I was dancing my ele armorless in Beacon's Perch. Some random bun whispers me, "hey sexi how bout 5 plat for 30 mins of ur coochie". Needless to say, I'm a little nonplussed, so I simply ignore his whispers. Eventually after about 20 minutes of him trying to dance at me [typical male Wammo] and me moving away, I get a spammed chat full of "dirty slut." He must've done that for a good 5 minutes. I had a screenshot somewhere, but I appear to have misplaced it.

Edit - There it is.

why focus on all that is wrong in your world? It will make you depressed and sad. If you focus on the good, you are usually happy and more attractive to the opposite sex (important for you nerds who troll this thread reading every one of these 89 pages). So walk outside for once! Be happy!
