One of the posts on page 27 reminded me of this. I was doing an infusion run, and by run, i mean die and watch the W/Mo run it. I like watching runs better than running them. Anyway, we get to seer, kill Eidolon, give seer spectral essence, become infused. Just one little problem, I needed mission. I asked the remaining people for help, to at least attempt the end of the mission without a healer. The jerks left saying things to the effect of "No healer, won't happen." After a bit of this and there being three of us left, me, a warrior, and a necro. Decided to try it on our own.

We made our way down the short route to Markis rather than take the long way. We fought through the mursaat and jade to get there, not having to ressurect once, until we were there, with Markis. We killed his bodyguards leaving only him and us. We kept up a constant stream of attacks at him, with a few Poison Arrows from me and some interrupts, we were able to bring Markis the Traitor down.

We killed the two jade with great ease.

Don't know if the people who left count as jerks, but it was kinda mean to leave the party without even trying to help. Well, to those jerks: IN YOUR FACE WE STILL WON THE MISSION!!!!!

You made it perfectly clear that this was a run. Why should anyone stay to finish the mission. It's not why they are there. If you want to finish the mission, clarify intentions while still in town. They aren't jerks.

Yeah, an infusion run is precisely that, a run. If it was stated that was the purpose before starting none of them were jerks for leaving after it was completed.

The thing I really hate is when you start a mission group and people decide to run to infusion despite a plan not to run it. They all decide to save a little time by running when they brought no running skills. I love that one! It has gotten to the point that I normally just do that mission with guildies when I need it. Was helping a RL friend with that mission when everyone decided to run it. We decided to wait in a safe spot since that was not part of the agreement. They all died.

For those who play European, you know how annoying it is when German/Italian/Spanish/French teams come to English districts to find players. ...

have to put my 5c into this...

this really depend on how determined they are in helping you in missions...
i had the horrible experience with genuine english players in hell's precipice. joined 3-4 grps attempting mission, most of them just capped elite then left... this left me in rage of course (being a renewal DS spammer, it took me full concentration every single battle to keep their hp high)

then i said to myself, ok i will give pug an other try, so i joined this group... i knew they were french for starters, as they speak in french, i was like "ok i don't mind cuz i am a monk any way"... so we set off... somehow i got stuck (usual glitch) at a bridge, i explained the situation to the leader and since we cleared monsters for a very far radius, they actually aggroed titans from like a mile away to kill me (i know weird, the only time i feel good to die)

how ironic that english players exhibit such awful behavior whereas french players offered such tremederous help ...

ok meant to be in nicest guy thread, but just wanting to make a pt

They were going to do the mission, but refused to even try due to the absence of a monk. It would have been a good guesture to help with the mission afterword. The group was supposed to be mission/infusion, we were running the infusion part is all.

Best bet is to just take henchies for infusion and iron mines, imho

Does anyone report jerks like this spammer here?

I have stopped reporting insulting jerks after the first two times... I don't believe Anet does anything about it.

The irony is that there is NO WAY IN HELL anyone would buy a Stinger for 7k.

This happened a long time ago. I was playing around in RA with a crip shot ranger ( blackout,crip shot, apply poison, distortion,etc, for those that dont know) before it was nerfed. First match with a pretty balanced team but no monk, the other team had like 2 eles and 2 wars(1 being an iway way). So we start fighting and both teams lose ppl but res ( DONT FORGET ABOUT REZING IN RA, PPL!!!!) so know im the only one left against the 2 wars without any sigs. I was lucky tho, i had poisoned one of the wars (not the iway one) and he died of degen before reaching me. The other war who was at full health starts running towards me, since he had iway and all of his dead friends were around him i couldnt rly kill him, so in jerk-like fashion i start running around the map (druid's map in RA). His teamates start calling me a running n00b, stop being a p*ss*, etc. While running i kept him crippled so he wouldnt be able to catch up to me, and thats what a crip shot does. After maybe 5 minutes of running like this and getting bitched at, i realise that if u stand at the spawn of one team, IWAY didnt work cuz his dead allies were too far. So i just cripple + poison him and he slowly dies. While hes dying, his dead wammo friend tells me im a n00b and im using an unbeatable build that only l33t top 5 GvG guilds invented and that no1 could beat that. When i won, i politely said gg and they kept raging. In the next map, i tried to ss everything(im in Greece on vacation so i cant post) so we died because i wasnt fighting=4v3 .

In this story im a jerk, and that guy is a jerk. The iway war wasnt tho...curious.

What exactly do you mean by "If you are competant in selling something" ? Do I need a licence to sell items ingame now ?
I play a monk, and my day job is not used car salesman. I am probably an incompetent seller, and I don't care. Most stuff I'm selling, I don't know the price for, they're just lucky greens I want to get off my inventory. I'm calling "WTS, make an offer". I'll get ripped off, I don't care much either. You don't like that, you're losing bargains ; as for me losing lots of sale, well, I've never had anything on my hands too long anyhow.

Then again, I'm not trading like you do, so I must be a noob.

Plus, "have a set price in mind, even if it is a certain percentage over what you are actually willing to settle for" ? It sounds like bargaining to me. Bargaining means trying to get the upper hand anyhow. People don't do it your way, wtf. They probably don't appreciate having to name a price either.

Hi all. First post here.

One time, a monk in a D'Alessio Seaboard mission pick up group was so irritated that the necro was carrying the bonus offering vase that he refused to heal her. While protecting the Confessor, she died and the monk raced off to get another offering vase - or so we thought. Instead, he actually went to the gate leading to the respawned vase, closed it from the other side and left the game.

Fortunately, one of us had spoken to the guard to open the lower gate back in the village, but we still had to hike and fight all the way around again to get a new offering vase. What a jerk.

Hope I haven't given any trolls out there some fresh ideas.

Still here, doing the same thing. Check the chatlog to see If she talked during that time. Nop, only the message about Europe controls HoH and nothing else when I entered in the mission.

I fail to see the gain in those bots .. Leech off shared gold ? They might as well be static. does it pick up drop too ?

Even though only the tengu produce corpses there is no way he should only have 1 minion at a time. I went through that mission on my MM and I had 7-10 minions up the entire time with the exception of the 1st 2 minutes in the beginning. The guy was probably just a n00b MM who didn't quite understand the concept of making an "army" of minions.

Not Noob.

He was probably a NEWB MM, big difference. And the guys not a jerk just because he wasn't/isn't very good at the game!

(ME) - W TS Jatoro's letter! - PM OFFER PLZ! - offer atm is 1.2k - GUY 2

(ME) - um no someone offered 1.2k for it. if you want you can offer more
(GUY 3) - why would i do that? now where are you so i can buy that letter

(ME) - W TS Jatoro's letter! - PM OFFER PLZ! - offer atm is 1.2k - GUY 2
(GUY 4) - 3k for the letter
(ME) - W TS Jatoro's letter! - PM OFFER PLZ! - offer atm is 3k - GUY 4

(ME) - W TS Jatoro's letter! - PM OFFER PLZ! - offer atm is 3k - GUY 4 gping once!
(ME) - W TS Jatoro's letter! - PM OFFER PLZ! - offer atm is 3k - GUY 4 gping twice!

Why are you in the common chat? as you use of "W TS" suggests and chargeing 3k for the letter wow I would never pay more than 1to 2k max for it. That quest is one of the best that teach new pleyers how to work as a team, + you get naga pelts for completeing which can sell for 1k for 2
