^ Ignoring you is a perfecty valid response. Not everyone cares to answer questions from random strangers.

As for warrior stereotyping and whatnot, keep in mind that these stereotypes exist because they're predictive. As long as the stereotype is right more often than not, it will never go away. Nobody has time to sit there and figure out if you're the exception to the rule; the same applies in real life.

People who bash perfectly fine builds because they are "wiki". Most viable builds are on wiki, the rest will eventually show up. The builds that don't show up on wiki are usually the junk that the wiki critics are using, like the "leet pwnage" builds you seen in ab/ra. That's kind of stereoscopic, but it is often true.

People that spew their opinion like it's fact (i.e. "fow is ugly") are just plain annoying. Yes, you know who you are. It's a personal choice people.

People who whine about the meta, and then claim they have loads of builds to beat them. But when a team that can actually run the meta well comes along said person loses. Obviously your builds dont work well.

Oh too true.

I had some Ranger in AB saying my Cripshot bar was bad, and when I asked him why the answer was "because it's shit", yet he was using a Burning Arrow bar changing skills around for their sub-par (In comparrison) counterparts. Although there are some pretty terri-bad builds on there if I do recall correctly.

Leavers.

Players who leave as soon as something happens that they do not like, when a newbie is not playing too well or when they just want to do other things.

This then may cause other players to leave on which the mission is doomed.

Come on, if you join a pug, stay with it until you completed (or failed) the mission. If that is too much to ask, stay the red engine out.

PvE:
1)start insulting people with elitist ego crap before the mission even begins
2)announces that they are going to be afk for "the last boss"
3)monks acting like the whole team needs to kiss their a$$
4)stops playing in "protest" because someone did/said something they don't like
5)stands in a town just to police the chat channels and insult people
6)rage quitting at the first sign of trouble

PvP:
1)discriminates by rank and says "go earn fame like the rest of us".... what do you think they are trying to do....
2)spends half the match doing idiotic Zrank and hero emotes
3)running their mouth when they are winning (have integrity)
4)running their mouth when they are losing (take it like a man... or woman for the ladies

)
5)leechers
6)rage quitting at the first sign of trouble

Just build up your friends list instead.

My friends list is full. And most of them play the same time I do. But most of them don't HA much and the ones that do are always in ranked HA teams/guilds.

Here's one I thought of this morning.

At the Halloween event when Mad King is there, people that spam /pickme when MK is choosing an opponent for rock-paper-scissors. /pickme does NOT affect who gets selected. The programming code behind MK pulls up a list of all players close to him in the green circle and picks one at random. That's it! One time, I was in a euro district with 2 other people. I got picked 4-5 times and none of us did /pickme. So knock it off already.

Why should people who did the exact thing you dont want to do (play in unranked pugs) help you? If you got r3, would you honestly want to play with unranked pugs then? Sure there are some people that aren't bad, but the majority are, and just complain about how high ranked people won't let them come and leech fame.

Uhhh...it actually makes you hate people because they do this? to me its just part of the event, if the people that do /pickme in what is already an emote spam event are the ones you hate the most then you must only play GW at Halloween.

people who text rpg (i.e. *hugs joe*), they should stfu ffs, and quit cloggin up chats with mindless preteen psycho-babble.

I merely dislike the following:

Capslock spammers
Lazy people who keep pestering you for information,and scoff at you when you point them to the wiki

I strongly abhorr and avoid the following:
People who beg for items
People who will not hear a word said against their leet [gladiator's defense][riposte][deadly riposte] builds when you are trying to do Gate of Madness.
People who randomly walk up to you in outposts and open trade trying to sell you garbage.

I hate the following:

Scammers/Cheaters/Ragequitters
People who think rich = skilled
People who think having "My guild hall has many leather bound books" means their Mesmer with 16 in fast casting and 4 rezzes on the bar is a good build to bring on a HM norn point farm, and scoff when asked to run Ursan atleast instead.
People who try to tell you how to play the game when it is clear they themselves dont know what they are talking about (omg Save Yourselves lasts only for 4 seconds! Bring Sever Artery and Gash instead!...this while doing Abaddon's mouth >.<)

I could go on all night...

Cjad the Nord · Jul 22, 2008, 10:50 PM // 22:50

The players I hate the most are players like me. Talkative sumbiches who crack wise and have that carebear "ITS NOT ABOUT WININING OR LOSSING GUYS, ITS ABOUT THE FUN!" attitude in PvP.

If I could put myself on my ignore list I would.

Dograzor · Jul 22, 2008, 11:13 PM // 23:13

- Accountscammers
- People who use leet vocabulary like wut/lawl/lulz/k/y'all/stfu/uberpwnage
- Idiots on AC chat
- Players that only know how to ursan

chitsuki · Jul 23, 2008, 07:17 AM // 07:17

I dislike all the people that bash you because you play a certain class. I have been bashed many times like this since i have a sin as my main and i am constantly under fire for ruining the ecto prices now since the sin took over UW farming basically, and i don't even do the farm because i believe that it should be nerfed really bad.

Wanda X · Jul 23, 2008, 11:43 AM // 11:43

- people in Shing Jea asking for 30g to open their storage

- new invitees in the guild who the first words out of their mouth are "can anyone spare 2k"

- elitists

- trade/join my guild spammers

Fire Rm · Jul 23, 2008, 12:01 PM // 12:01

The kind that opens trade window, puts 7 unids and pm "5k ok?" (yea, i thought they are gone too :< )

cataphract · Jul 23, 2008, 12:07 PM // 12:07

I love people who go "PRO R10 URSAN LFG" and "PRO HB LFG URSAN" monks.

Bulletdodger · Jul 23, 2008, 01:01 PM // 13:01

Ragequiters.
New players who like to play boss and try to talk " smart " and think they can issue commands to the guild leader and officers.
