The PuG Queen Farm yesterday -.-

The tank said he had never done this before and of course he stayed still fighting scarabs instead of kiting out.

The nuker who SWORE he had done this before was using Chain Lightning and Meteor(but not meteor Shower)He also wayyy overextended and aggro'd Griffons and of course died as a result

..........................

Then I got the usual WTF MONK WHERES MY HEALS?!?!

*shakes head*

Probably not the biggest jerk so far...but last night, I was standing in hero's ascent and this guy kept spamming "n/me blood spiker lfg". Trying to save him some time, I pm'ed him saying "you can't really spike as a n/me" He then says "I'm not using any mesmer skills, I have 8 necro skills", so I told him "I'm just trying to save you some time", to which he respondes "go **** yourself" only he couldn't even spell it right.

I went back to finish some of the bonuses that I had skipped a few days ago. I got in a group doing Iron mines (I was playing a Me/Mo FC healer because there were verrry few monks out) and everything was bad from the start. Before we got to the first group one person dropped out and half the rest were having bad lag.

One guy complained the entire way that he wasn't getting any drops. He complained so much that a few of the others actually gave him a couple things that had dropped for them. On our way to do the bonus (most of the party actually wanted both) this complainer just stopped helping.

I guess I am kinda a jerk because I told him that if he didn't help, I would leave and do the bonus on my own with henchies. He eventually started helping again, but almost immediately ran off an aggroed a bunch or crap that was out of the way and got himself and most of the rest of the party killed.

When we were all back alive it was back to the same old thing...he would complain and moan and whine until he eventually stopped helping. Everytime he would stop I would say again that if he didn't hurry up and help I would leave (we did have a Mo primary also).

In the end we finished easily, but it took about three times as long as it should have. I told my team that I would have never left mid-mission and left. When I looked through my inventory, the best thing I had gotten was a scroll (I think adventurer's insight)...you know the 100g kind...

I really hate it when people are greedy and whiny

Just yesterday I found this jerk which thank god I already forgot his name. I was in Ventari's back from a totem axe run and I see this guy calling out:

Jerk: Selling dyes! (Gold and others)

So I whisp him that there is no gold dye (I knew immediately he was a scammer). He insisted that it indeed exists and opened the trade window and showed me it. Of course, it was mixed. I told him it was mixed but he said it wasn't despite the icon read clearly "Vial of dye (Mixed)"

Me: Anyone can mix yellow + orange
Jerk: NO IT'S NOT
Me: ok ok you put some silver in too
Jerk: SHUT UP YOU NOOB I'M TELLING YOU IT'S REAL.

double post

mattybadger · Jun 23, 2006, 03:41 PM // 15:41

Earlier today, I was playing as my monk and anted to find a PUG for one of the challenge missions. I advertise myself with the usal 'monk lfg for mission' and I get an invite. I was the third monk in the group and I thought geat.

Several seconds after joining one of the monks goes 'OMG SO SORRY I HAVE NO REZ IS THAT OK?' Yes he wrote it all in caps. I said that I would prefer it if got a res as we were in a pug. He refused. I go, ok has everyone got a res? Half the team didn't. I was in an arsey mood so I said ok cant every have a res of some sort or I will leave an find another group. Most the group then equipped a res skill. The original monk then quit. We found another palyer and were abotu to go and then another player starts argueing with my about everyone needing res. He goes that only two or three people need res then everyone else protects them. While in theory this is ok, it would never work in a PUG and I told him that. He then starts accusing me of forcing my views onto other people. The leader starts the mission without asknig if anyone is ready. As the level loads and we are waiting for the countdown to finish, I point out that no one skill is more important than another player, so which I get a sarcastic comment back.

We start mission and straight away three players run off in different directions and lure 15 afflicted to begin with. No one is calling, so everyone is attacknig different targets. Myself and the other monk that are still there managed to keep the group alive for a little while. Some of the other members of the group, not content with the huge group lure some more. I had run out of energy, I did show the others but no one noticed. Almost everyone gets wiped. One of the other party members starts abusing the monks asking where is the healing. so me being childish types /sit and waited to die. At this point I was the only person left alive I might add. I start getting flammed with things like 'NICE GOING WELL HEALED N00B' etc.

After loading back into the outpost. Both the monks are still getting flamed. I point out that if you lure too many creatures monks can not keep you alive. More flames came my way and then two of them (including the guy who argued about ressing) starts going on how you need to complete this challange mission to proceed with the game. After doing a double take I left.

I have met many jerks but this really wound me up for some reason today. I think it was because the whole team were so inept.

colwynstein · Jun 23, 2006, 03:43 PM // 15:43

1 of the biggest jerks I have met was when me and my partner were starting VoG quest from lions arch. So we start heading out through north krytan province and this idiot keeps aggroing everything on the way, it was damn annoying he would sprint off aggro then die. Then he runs off to the ascalon settlement as we wait impatiently. We get through and we start heading to Bergen but off he goes again. Up to us to save him AGAIN. Was getting so annoyed by this point. Gets to bergen to get rid of the DP everybody had.
Grabs alesia as someone loses their connection early on as well.

Soon as we come out, yep you guessed it, he aggros everything he can.

Cut a long story short (too late) we gets to ToA to pick up 2 more people but I decide to kick said annoying git and he messages me
JERK:Thought we were doing galrath?
I add him to my ignore list and leave town.
Everyone was happy with my decision. We then went on and comepleted the quest, jerk free and much more happy.

Myth Matt · Jun 24, 2006, 02:25 AM // 02:25

Mm... Biggest jerk.

Must have been in Droknars
some dude was trying to sell his account AND get banned at the same time.

He liked making racist comments.... a lot.

God Apprentice · Jun 24, 2006, 03:09 AM // 03:09

Yeah there was these 2 guys shouting "WHITEPOWER" in Beacons and I made the mistake of saying I was Native American (they called me dumb whitey or something)and I got a pm from the first one who said I was a n word and I should be picking his cotton a few seconds later the second pm'd and said while Im at it I need to be picking his cotton too

Needless to say these 2 people are on my ignore list

The pathetic thing is that this kind of nonsense is actually quite commonplace.

The sad thing is that you tolerated it. Please tell me you reported them.

Racists chat in RA gets me in a big rutt. So does homophobic banter. I once read something like "love and sex are between a man and a woman, anything else is a sick and twisted fling"

It amazes me that in today's society we still have closeminded people like this.

Yeah I don't like seeing slander against people who are gay/bi/lesbian

I myself fall into that category and to see people just spout that off, it's just pathetic

Hmmm too many jerky incidents have happened to me but most recent was in Gyala Hatchery. I was forming a mission group with my sin and we got this monk into our group and I explained my build to him(secluded target hunter) and then he's like "you better follow targets" and I try to tell him that I will follow targets unless I see someone rush the turtles or if it thretens my life, then this guy was like w/e you better follow targets or I leave. this continued on for a while until we entered mission. The mission went pretty well, even though there was this necro that died like 10 times, until I went and destroyed the juggernaut that was fiending for our turtles, only problem was after the fight with him I was pretty badly weakened, then as soon as i get back within range of the enemies they all turned on me and spiked me, then the elititst noob butthole turned around and was like "OMFG YOU NOOB" and I was like "lol w/e" but we just continued along and we get to the end, and someone didin't skip and so all the items thaty were left from the enemies we killed just before the cutty were now up for grabs, so this noobie little elitist monk decided to go out and take everything and get slaughtered by the afflicted(at this point I took my opportunity to be like "serves you right,thief") and then he got ressed and he sat there doing absolutely nothing, and we barely finished. On a side note, throughout the entire mission this A-hole was stealing the smoke canisters away from our smopke runners and putting them in useless places -.- and he was a horrid healer too, he couldnt even heal a tank(I didn't need healing I rarely got hit). So that is my most recent jerkface encounter.

That's the problem with monks: even if you suck at anything related to healing something, you will find a group as a monk because people are so desperate to get them. Henchmen FTW.

Kanyatta Darvish · Jun 24, 2006, 04:17 AM // 04:17

Biggest jerk in guild wars... hmmm..o, yeah, here's one

About 2 weeks ago, with my monk, I got in a group to do some beginning quest, like Mayhem in the Market or something, and there's 6 ppl in the group, I'm the 7th, and the person who started the party was a monk, let's call him Player A, and then a necro joins, and he notices Player A's skin on his char is black, and he starts callin him n-word and slave-boy and all of that crap, so he immediately gets the boot.

We then pick up a non-racist MM and proceed to do the quest. Then me and a W/Mo, lets call him Player B start saying "O, God I hate racist people, why do they need to think they're so great." because we aren't racist,

and then Player B makes the mistake of asking Player A "Why is it my black friends call each other "n****" all the time, but when I do it, they say I'm racist?" and Player A says "Because you're a racist bastard, I'll bet you own 20 black slaves at your house, you KKK!" or something equally extravagant.

After about 2 minutes, he says "Player B, because of your comments, I will no longer heal you." and me being the only monk besides him, has to keep him alive, I manage this with great stress, and Player A keeps saying "OMFG! I hate white people, all of them are so poor and they're all redneck trailer-trash!"

So, I made the mistake of saying, "Isn't that comment right there racist?" and Player A starts saying "Oh, are you friends with this KKK? Are you in the KKK? You must own slaves and beat them every day just for kicks!" Obviously, thats completely outrageous. So I say, "That's completely outrageous." And he says, "Well, I'm not gonna heal you either!" Not a problem, because I never take damage for the rest of the quest, and the other 5players just kind of play and stay out of it.

Story #2

This one happened just yesterday, on my ranger, I think.

So, ecto is priced at about 8.5 to 9k, right? I'm in Ascalon trying to sell my items from recent chest runs, and in the chat, a guy puts up "Selling 1 ecto, 5k" So I think, "Hey, I can turn around and sell that for at least 7k!" Easy 2k, right? So I pm him and ask to buy it, he says okay, and I put my 5k in the trade window, and in his side, he has the purple blob, I thought it looked really off, so I put my mouse over it, and its a Mursaat Token, which look strangely like Ecto's

So I tell him "What the hell are you trying to do scammer?" and he says "I was bored, I would have given your money back" and I say "Alright, you're lucky I dont report you" and sure enough, about 3 minutes later some random person says "DONT BUY ECTO FROM PLAYER X! ITS A SCAM, ITS A MURSAAT TOKEN!" I felt so stupid and guilty for not warning the town in all chat once he did it to me and just cost this guy 5k. I thought it was obvious, lol, guess not.

Dawgboy · Jun 24, 2006, 04:34 AM // 04:34

No matter how desperate my group would be for a monk, I would have left the party before going on a mission with a player that already had me steaming before I left town.
The problem is when you don't find out the guy's an idiot untill halfway through the mission.

My favorite jerk was the lvl.20 mm necro that joined our Yak's-area(low-level) team. This was just before they nerfed the minion-masters to 10 friends, so when he left the party halfway through the mission it was absolute carnage.
The funny part is I was playing my necro and already had the skill that captures wild minions unlocked. I should have seen this one a mile away and I could have been the party's hero, but everyone has their off moments. Beer is usually involved in mine.

I would hazard a guess that many of these stories involve alcohol consumption on the jerk's end. When playing Guild Wars, I advise Mountain Dew instead. Wait, damn, I thought of Mountain Dew and now I need to drink some... stupid addiction...
