To new players the only advice I can give is to find and join a very large and well structured guild (Preferrably one that only accepts older and more mature players). Dealing with the subpar players and immature little craps that gravitate towards PUGs will begin to ruin the experience for you. I'm not saying all PUGs are bad, but I will say that the majority of them will be.

For the longest time, I refused to do pugs, not even one, ever. Factions came out and even with a guild, there were not always enough people on to get a group. A guildie had been successful for pugs so I thought, what the heck, I'll give them a try again. To my surprise, they were all pretty good. The good pugs out weighed the bad. So I gotta say that it seems that they are getting better, not worse.

this just happened yesterday when i was doing the Vizunah Square mission with my ranger, we had a party of 7 with a monk henchie and the foreign side had 2 real players with 6 henchies. With 9 human players, we knew the mission was gonna be a breeze, and it was. We fought through everything so smoothly that getting Master wouldn't have been a problem at all. But then near the very end, where we had to wait for a gate to open, but no one could open it besides this ******* jerk, and he was so ******* dumb he got stuck on a chest, his friend was standing before the door and screaming "we must stay with "jerk" and follow him". So we danced around a bit and hoped for the dumbass to get away from the chest, but unfortunately, our patience wore out, and everyone finally left because of that jerk's stupidity...

Btw, if you havent already guessed it, the jerk is Master Togo, and his friend is, of course, Mhenlo, who had to guts to say "Please stay close us or else we can't protect you -_-" somewhere in the mission...

Sorry that happened to you, that's one of the "pain-in-the-butt" missions.

Back to the little kids that like to try to have their 1st time on a video game, I as helping a guildie who had just bought factions on her 2nd account and wanted to get her necro through it. We where in Dragon's Throat getting ready to do the quest to get her to Napuhi when she says on TS to come look at this ranger. We run to her to she this ranger with no armor on, right behind her, doing the excited emote. At the time my guildie's Necro had Scar armor, so... you get the idea. Well me and another guildie that was helping here were both on Warriors so to help protect her we both took off our armor and began dancing right behind the ranger. He zone out pretty fast.

I believe greens can be customized and still be used by other people? Still, the verbal abuse was uncalled for.

Once it's customized, only the one who customized it can use it. Greens are no exception.

Mystic Fate · Aug 21, 2006, 12:11 AM // 00:11

Well, I got one, happened to me yesterday in droks. You guys will get a kick out of this story.

Jerk: WTB Rare skin weapons Dwarven Axes, Serpent Axes and Crystallines!
Me: Sweet dude, rare hunter I see eh? Thats cool, good luck to you.

**Off subject of that** It was just props, not sarcastic, I was really saying, good job, I hope you get a good weapon or something along the lines of that.

11 minutes later.

Jerk: Do you have something I want?
Me: What? Who are you?

**By this time, I had forgotten all about what I had said before, because he didn't reply right back, so I never really thought about it after that, I went on to the merchant.**

Jerk: You just pmed me...scroll up dumbas*
Me: um, no I didn't...*scrolls up*

*I relize, I made a mistake, because I had forgotten all about this by now.*

Me: oh sorry, i forgot I did pm you, my mistake, but I don't go anything your looking for, I just was giving you props. and was saying good luck to you jeez..
Jerk: Well, I don't care, you Fu***** n00b
* By now, I'm speechless, because I was giving him a good thing, but he just twisted it around...somehow*
Me: Um, what? I was giving you props dude...why are you making this a big deal? jesus christ dude...I forgot I pmed you jeez...
Jerk: Well you should remember
Jerk: Its not my fault you got down syndrome
Jerk is ignoring you

So, yeah thats all. I try and do something nice, by saying you know, good luck, I like rare items, and he just somehow, twisted it around or something, I mean, is that my fault? Or do you guys know what I'm talking about? lol...it was quite funny I must say none the less. xD

Basically everyone playing in both sides of aspenwood this weekend. I have been playing there since the factions released, almost.. and I have never seen a more immature group of people in my life. Name calling, taunting, flashing rank over the corpse of the dead. Really annoying shit. I'll be glad when the weekend is over.

Mera Regila · Aug 21, 2006, 01:11 AM // 01:11

Hmm... Just today something happened worthy of the title (more of a fool than a jerk but take your pick):

Him: (pm) Message from XXX: Your so nooby that his guild doesn't have a hall.
Me: You're so nooby you failed to send that message correctly.
*IGNORE LIST*
Oh but it didn't end there, he had two accounts, so he pms me on another one with a name thats hard to report, and says the following.
Him: OMG U NOOB I AM IN A TOP 100 GUILD!!!
Him: OMG U NOOB U HAVE NO LIFE!!!!
Me: Congradulations, you have been awarded the Contradiction of the Year Award!
*IGNORE LIST AGAIN*

Frankly, we should be handing out more than one of those a year.

Oh, oops..

Anyway, this one happened within a 30 second interval. Considering the war's name, I shouldn't have been surprised, but we don't mention names here, hehe. I joined this war in Alliance Battle, and he quickly got another monk and an ele, then immediately clicked Enter Mission. This fall apart in the blink of an eye:

Me: Two monks?
Other monk: lolz
War: So
Me: That's not really necessary, is it?
War: So
Me: Uhm, okay... bye.....
War: Noob

Aah, I cracked up at that. Dunno why, but it was so absurd I had to laugh. xD

:/ you left because of two monks?

you could have at least tried, and healed your other teammates.

I used to not care about being teamed with another defensive monk, but that never worked out too well because we lacked firepower as a result. And if you mean the other teams of four by "teammates," well.. sorry if this sounds lazy, but although I do heal whoever happens to come my way, it is rather inconvenient because you can't just click their health bars and heal away. Gotta select V, which may not even get you the target you want. Running your cursor over the target's name and hoping to pick the right one out of a group can also be a little unnerving.

And if I did find myself running with another group, am I just to assume that someone else will take my place with my original group? But it seems more efficient for them to pick up another offensive char, and for me to find another group to heal.

I might have stayed. I PM'd the monk back and forth a bit later and he was pleasant enough. The war annoyed me though. There has to be better ways to communicate than repeating "So" and countering with "Noob."

Okay here's a story for you all, wish I had it screenshot.

I was doing the Jade quarry this evening, for a little bit of steam blowing, Kurzick Side.

Well while I was waiting for the never ending counter to come down to finally get in, there was this guy spamming about entering his guild.

Okay not such a big deal, even if it was in caps and bad grammar.

Then he started calling people NOOB and the like. For anyone who knows me, which I don't know if any of you do. I am not the type of person who likes that type of thing so I make the comment.

"Oh yes, spam for your guild, then call people noobs...How astute." This guy was annoying me, and as soon as I got into Jade Quarry I was thinking to myself "Yay no more annoying guy."

Alas, my luck is not so good.

Before the Quarry fight even began he was spamming, in team and local. And going along the lines of "Suck my penis you noob" and such, going on and on and on.

To the POINT that not only was the Luxon side saying they were going to kill him, but myself included saying "Please do" and he continued to talk trash through out the entire thing, until finally he just ditched (I wonder why, could be because he continued to get killed, folks were gunning for him big time, leaving the Kurzicks alone just to go after him.)

More than likely not -the- biggest jerk in GW, but one of the few that really got me going. It was a good game, other than for that, even if we did loose, but at least the guy left, and I didn't see him when I returned back into the Quarry.
