"Gather around, discuss and attempt to remain civilized for knowledge is survival." -the description of this thread.

I totally agree.. without knowledge you will fail.. and thats why idiots on this game should be put on there own "districts" so instead of ruining valuable game time for other people they just do missions over and over again with other idiots.

It is a common occurence, im sure you guys have had that party with all level 20's and you got wiped but you did it with lower levels and did it with ease.

1.But the stupidest happened to me today.. Rosie rasha her name was. So we are attempting to do the D'alessio seaboard bonus, and I tell the group to follow me and help save benji so we can start the bonus, but instead she runs off and aggros enemies and doesnt help me save benji. We get close to a few deaths but its no big deal.

2.Then we find the pot. I had heard that this pot respawns but since we were 15 minutes into the mission I told everyone to wait to pick it up because we were gonna clear the path, but she picks it up anyway and says "Do i really need to hold this?.." to which i replied "I told you not to pick it up. whatever, just DONT DROP it or itll bust and we will fail bonus."

3.We spot enemies and what do you know, she drops it. Another in our group says he will go back to get it (protecting whats his face is easier than I expected so im not all that mad but I do manage to call her deaf)

4.We destroy all the waves, only one death so far and we are doing good..
we move on and I have no clue as to where we put the vase. We eventually find dana (she ends the mission) and I say "DO NOT TALK TO DANA. she ends mission.. we will talk to her when bonus is over"..I see a hill that you can climb and figure the vase will go somewhere on top of it. There is a boss in front of dana also so I also say "DO NOT ATTACK THE BOSS. lets see if the vase is up this hill (i draw on radar). She attacks the boss.

5. I spot another path that goes past dana after killing the boss.. So to this moment I am not sure if the bonus is past dana or up the hill before her(or neither) but I start heading that way when I notice her running towards dana. I yell "STOP DONT TALK TO HER" and two others in the group yell "NOOOOOO!!!" but she does it... ends the mission. That is FIVE counts of stupidity, and she understood english. Thanks for ruining my time, ass.

Perhaps your stories are more entertaining.. tell me of your stupid teammates and their names so i can blacklist them. Maybe a few pm's like "runescape is a great game. www.runescape.com" will get them out of our lives and put them with people that match their unequaled intelligence.

*fixed. you are right phantium..

WHY in the name of god do you call people retards? Retards aren't as stupid as you think they are, some even have paranormal abilities.

So please, figure out a better name other then retards! Sheesh.

Mentally challenged?

And where is the evidence that the mentally challenged have 'paranormal' abilities?

Much as the original thread title was pretty uncalled for, here's a story of woe:

s p o i l e r s b e l o w

Thunderhead keep. Gathered a team, making sure to ask each one individually if they had all five items of armour infused, they all responded in the positive so off we set.

Skip a good few battles.
Arrive at the fort, clear everyone out, the invasion begins.

Me: "If anyone was lying about their infusion to get in the group, now's the time to admit it and we'll throw you on catapults."
Everyone else: "I wasn't lying."
Me: "Goodie

"

The first Mursaat arrive, two warriors are cut down like flies.

Player 1: "Actually, I was lying"
Player 2: "Me too"
Me: *bangs head on table really hard*

I was in the elona reach mission. Of course it's a TIMED mission. Our monk then says "AFK i gotta mow the lawn, be back in 20." there were 14 minutes left to complete the mission. But we were almost done so we continue. Then our tank says "I'm gonna go join him, I have to help pull weeds." We ended up failing the mission.

I often wondered if people with down syndrome were actually smarter than us, and speak with a hair lip so they don't have to converse with us idiots.

But besides that I think you need to go take a shower so you can wash that sand out of your genitals. The whole time I was reading that I wanted to hand you a box of kleenex so you would quit crying. Shit happens, deal with it. Haven't we had problems with these posts before? Can't someone just delete these as soon as they come in?

The second most idiotic thing I have seen in game is when people assume that you can form a random group of players who have known one another for 5 seconds, and they will all be good players who function well together in a team. The most idiotic thing I have seen in game is when people discover that their assumption isn't true, they become angry about it.

People are so laughably uptight! When I join a group, I do my best to follow instructions (or give instructions). I try to be a good team player. I hope that other people are doing the same. But you know, sometimes it doesn't work out. Sometimes people do things that I wouldn't have done in their shoes. If that happens, I don't excoriate them. I don't come to the boards to tell everyone how bad a player I think they are. I don't pat myself on the back, convince myself I am better than everybody else, and make fun of other people's play.

I redo the mission with a different group of people. /shrug It's not like by having to do a mission again that they just lost my entire life savings by investing it in junk bonds or something. It's a video game for crying out loud. Plus, people are human and they make mistakes.

Lighten up!

If someone plays poorly, tell them "you are doing great, but I think we would be better off if you would ____". Tell them nicely. If they won't accept constructive criticism, or their learning curve is steeper than yours, find a group you relate to better. Screaming at them and calling them names makes you look the fool, not them.

I can understand your frustration, but couldn't help smiling a bit when I read it through.

PS: It is good to know that there are a lot of "good guys/gals" on this board who warn people of possible spoilers before they type - so to whoever did this in this thread - Thank you

I don't care if you're only human and make mistakes. Some things people do are really bloody stupid and shouldn't have been done at all. It's as if they know their build better then everything else, as if that their knowledge of the ins and outs of their build somehow makes them invincible to attacks and critisism. However, we all know that if they really knew their build, they wouldn't charge in and do the complete opposite of what they've been told to do and why.

Sure it's a game, but there are some parts of it that you don't enjoy and you just want to get through that certain part. On top of that, you have a team constructed out of idiots who all think the other is a n00b and your time spent on that horrid part is lengthened because they are wasting it.

It's one thing to rush blindly into something and get yourself killed because you didn't realise a bunch of mobs were going to spawn around you and have you for dinner. It's a completely different matter when your leader tells you not to rush in because that will happen and when they do spawn around your readied party, you run off and aggro every mob around the area to the team, causing you all to get slaughtered.

People like this don't deserve to be banned, they deserve to be shot. I can't stand the amount of people in this world that act so stupidly. In fact, if I keep going, I'll be quoting Agent Smith when he is giving his insight on the human race to Morpheus.

Well said Redfang. If more players had your attitude, everyone's gaming experience would be much more fun.

I think that people who scream at others should have their own districts so that all the miserable people can have miserable experiences together.

We're trying to build a community, not seperate it. Enough of this garbage.
