Fair enough, but asking to carry one additional skill is different from checking my entire skill bar. Does making me type out my skillbar make the group any better? Probably not. 1) I can lie, 2) I can listen to your suggestions and not take them, 3) I can switch up my skill bar to match your requests and then spend half the mission trying to relearn a new set of keys for my skills.

I'm more then willing to listen to requests for a single skill then for someone trying to tell me how to do my job.

This is true, and I have been a jerk to people in the past. Now, generally I'm a very nice and fair person, but certain actions make me RAAAAAGE.

Once, my mesmer was kicked from an Abaddon's Mouth party for no reason. The party leader then filled up all of his slots except one and started yodelling for a monk. I signed back on as my monk. Apparently, he didn't notice my cape.

I let him die repeatedly.

In the end, I left the party on its own. I doomed six undeserving people, but I at least made the leader's life miserable.

<--- Jerkface

[edit] Oh, and sometimes, when I have a guild group together and we have 1 open slot, I advertise it out. "GUILD GROUP 7/8 FOR MISSION--CAN TAKE ANYONE". Then I enter the mission.

So I was on my level 20 ranger helping out my friend, giving him tips, running him places, teaching him how to craft armor...this ele asks me if i can give him money, and I flat out say no, because I don't appreciate beggars

He pm's me and calls me a nerd, so I ask him why. He tells me that since I am level 20, I obviously play the game and do nothing else, and I'm a big nerd...by now I can't believe what I'm hearing. I tell him that he is misinformed and a noob, and he tells me I'm a nerd for saying "noob"

...sometimes i wish my flesh golem could attack people...

Kicking someone for the "gogogogo" stuff isn't being a jerk at all. I've found that people who spam that in the staging area tend to rush things in-mission, ignoring the need for the occasional "heal-up" or "re-charge."

Why put yourself and six other people at risk for failure because of ONE person's impatience?

Healing the NPC gate gaurds in the fort aspenwood 8v8, bonded, healing hands, healing seed.

Him = leaves

Everyone = wtf

I still find it annoying, especially when you have a title like protector of tyria. And you know what I disagree since just because a person is asking skill group doesnt mean your in a good group. big factor is timing and skill even if you have the proper skill.

I feel like I should make my personal contribution to this thread, so here goes:

The biggest jerk I've ever encountered in Guild Wars is, well... the biggest jerks are pretty much everyone who has used "gay" and all its related derogatory terms as an insult. It really just isn't cool, its the same thing as using "black" or the "n" word as an insult, which thankfully is no longer socially acceptable (generally speaking). I suppose it isn't any worse in GW than other games, but really, it really just pisses me off.

I was playing with my Assassin in RA, Aura of displacement is fun.

So all my teamates were dead (I'm not a runner, I carried res and used it.) so I teleported and ran enough to get one of them alone, so I can atleast kill oe of them.

So this warrior runs after me screaming "PUSSY NOOB COWARD" So then he asks to 1v1 me.
I 1v1 him, the monk life bonded and filled him with enchants. I had him at half hp, but the life bond and all....you know. So I teleported away and gave up, then said "The monk life bonded you, so draw."
Soafterwards, he whispers me "OMG IDIOT I USE PLAQUE TOUCH ON U" I wonder what that had to do with anything. He continued to insult me.

theres enouth anoing, stressing and unpleasant things in real life... why would u wanna volonarly expose yourself to MORE of those in a PC game. I play for Fun, and not as my job. and since i play 10 hrs a week (average) i dont want to waist it

so no, kicking some 10 years old for saying gogogogo!!! or anyother thing , like not saying skills, is TOTALY fine with me

A_Muppet · May 24, 2006, 05:55 AM // 05:55

My level 17 geomancer kept getting kicked from groups because of her level. It was sad really. Armour of earth and ward against melee made me have good armour and durability, and you'd think that me being level 17 at Takhani temple would suggest I know what I'm doing. Apparently not.

I can be a jerk myself though; sometimes, when I'm feeling arsy and people invite, say, my necro in to be a SS necro (How effin original ffs. I was doing the SS build before it became fashionable.) when I'm set up for feast of corruption or linger curse. They ask:
'Can you SS?'
Me: 'Yea.'
So we go into the game, I'm playing as FoC. Eventually, someone noticed I wasn't using SS and started whining and bitching. I snarkily replied 'You asked if I COULD be SS.'

He left, and we went on to complete that mission anyway.

------------
I kicked a warrior from the Eternal Grove party I had formed because a mm necro had joined our group, and he was a N/Me.

So warrior girl starts going into a long and boring lecture about how all minionmasters should be monk secondary (Despite the fact Blood of the Master and Ventera's Sacrifice do the job perfectly well... and last I checked, monk heals actually increased health degen of minions). Well, he struck me as the sort of twit who fights the game to fixed patterns and builds, and will leave/sulk if things don't go exactly the way they want, so I booted her.

...Irony is, the warrior I replaced her with dropped (I think he got an err=07. We had almost clobbered the last wave) in the mission too!

True, in some missions 1 or 2 skills are key to the success of the mission-quest, but i get pissed off when someone try to order me what skillbar must i have or that skill i'm using is trash.

They probably haven't played the char more than 10 days and are filled with "Forum builds", pretending that they are in "possesion of the truth".

Lame.

It puts me in rage.

I find ok when someone asks for "Bonder", "SS Necro" or "Tank". They are overall builds with many variations and each one is comfortable with his skillbar.

To pretend that other person runs "your" build , with exactly that "uber" skillset, is pretty stupid.It's jerkish, since you are subtle saying "You have no idea what are you playing, so change your crappy build for something useful".
And no, to say it in a educated way doesn't work either. If want to discuss builds do it at the end of the mission , not during the fights .

I'm getting less tolerant with such kind of ppl, and although i PUG not that often, i'll quit the group, before or during the mission. I'm sry for the rest of the ppl, but i'm fed up with such behaviour.

my 2 cents

No, no, no. No. And no. Stop spreading this particular bit of misinformation. See this link.

No it doesn't, it qualifies him as smart because usually the people who are saying gogogogo are the type who rush ahead of everyone and get themselves and everyone else killed and then blame the monk/s.

Oh, I get it, you're one of those who say gogogogo and rush and get killed and/or possibly get the rest of the party killed.

He said nothing about rank, just rushers. You however are a jerk because rank has nothing to do with pve. I'm sure you get yours tho because most of those with rank that high are iway.

I totally agree with you. I'd like to add those who use "retard" or any of it's variations.

i find most people in this game to be pretty nice, but one guy really got under my skin yesterday.
I was in RA testing out air of enchanting and seeing its effect on smiting, we loaded and i informed the rest of the group that i was smiting so dont rely too heavily on being healed.

This one necro then proceeded to attack me, calling me a noob and then some expletives. I politely asked him what was wrong with being a smiting monk, and said that they seem back in fashion in HA. I was then met with more name calling, with him also proceeding to say that HA was 8v8 and is a completely noobfest compared to RA (wtf?).
I then asked if it is RA then why should it matter what i play, again i was called a noob and told that to play smiting was rude because, and i quote, "healing is more useful".

At this point i got fed up with all the swearing and such so i left the game, then i got continued msg for 5 minutes calling me a b#tch. And to not come in to ra until i "grow some balls". Straight on to the ignore list, only my second in 12 months of playing...

It was an interesting experiment to say the least, maybe HA and all its rank discrimination isnt so bad after all...at least they make sense there.

I get this a lot too...
My favorite character is my N/Mo.
I play as a pumped mini-spike blood necro, but bring along healing breeze.

I went to the UW a few days ago, and some warrior got on my case for using healing breeze. (I was healing him, of all things!) He told me it was the dumbest skill you could ever bring and I'm a moron for using it --- and kept at it for the next 15 minutes. I made a few attempts to explain how I was using it (self & other heal + focus item enchant bonus.), but it didn't seem to sink in. Gave up trying after a while, but he just kept at it. I stopped putting my breeze on him as he rushed in, and guess what! He dies.... (I think the team monks were irritated too!)

That didn't stop his rant. Luckily we all died soon after, so I didn't have to listen to his elite, only-my-builds-can-work attitude.

BTW.... I love my build - and most often parties can see my value.

I use Awaken the Blood to pump my blood up to 18,
then use 3 skills for blood spike (shadow strike, vamp strike, barb sig)
Well of Power for party heal/recharge, (+6 life, +2 energy at blood 18)
-- Its amazing how many people have never seen what WoP can do to help!
One of Mark of Subversion/Strip enchant/lifebane strike - depending on mission.
-- Thanks Factions for Lifebane! - It's a copy of shadow strike, so now I have two!
Healing Breeze (set to +7 regen) - Great for myself when in trouble & secondary heals to help monks with others.
Rebirth
