Ok, theres nearly 2000 posts about the biggest wankers weve all seen in GW, and only around 200 posts for nicest dood in GW thread.
That means if GW has 1million players, 900,000 are wankers, and 100000 are ok...
Such a loverly player base....

I *so* agree. It's like saying 'yes, we like to point out the negative more than the positive.'

I have read a number of the posts and have laughed until I have cried. The lives we lead with our experiences is a hoot. However, in fairness and reality, this still just a game. Yes, gaming online is a lifestyle in a way. It takes us to a nice place to forget a little while about the harsh reality of true life. Used in moderation, as with anything that can become addictive, one can have a wonderful time. Be careful what you say and who you say it too!!!

Some folks have been threatened over this game with bodily harm or even death...mind your P's and Q's, because even in the heat of the moment you can be faced with an outcome of your own actions that you may not like...

http://news.com.com/Create+an+e-anno...3-6022491.html

This is just one article and there are many other stories and TRUE TO LIFE LAWS!!! Just have fun and enjoy your game...

Imagine this....two prisoners, cellmates, in a maximum security federal lock up.

Prisoner #1 - Average build, everyday online gaming enthusiast
Prisoner #2 - Burly built, everyday prison lifer without a chance of parole.

prisoner #1 - "I cant believe I was put in jail over some game...some dude pwned me and scammed me and I was pissed. All I said was I was going to f@#$ing kill him if he did not give me back my game gold!"

prisoner #2 - "Really, that is some silly sh#t."

prisoner #1 - "What are you in here for?"

prisoner #2 - "I was framed. My lawyer got the story wrong...I killed those two guys first, then I sodomized them...not the other way around...<a brief pause in his thoughts and then starts that look you only saw on the HBO series "Oz">

prisoner #1 - Immediately realizes that it was just a game!!!

prisoner #2 - "So, why dont you come up here and keep me warm, my little computer n00b!!!"

I did my Academy stint the other night. The other person was a ranger, not sure what his secondary was, and I was secondary Elementalist. Well, it was going pretty well, it seemed, he sent me to the Res gate once, and I know I dropped him once or so. Final score was 4-2, my favor.

Well, afterward I get this message:

"u suk for lvl 7"

I was amazed. I wasn't going into this to beat anyone, but I certainly am not going to lie down. So I replied,

"yes, but I won." No answer.

I think that to the people who insult this thread, or rather critique it. This is a thread for players to vent their feelings about situations, like the one im about to describe.

Literally 3 not 30 but 3 people in augury district 5.
Jerk-LF 5 PLAYERS FOR A QUEEN RUN ( i am on my solo mes)
Me-Hey man can you please lay off the caps it really is a nuisance and not needed.
Jerk(in whisper)-CAPS IS NEEDED ALL THE TIME LIKE IN DROKS AND ASCALON
Me(In whisper- Dude not the case, the fact of the matter is was it needed now... The answer is no man.
Jerk-BUT WE SPEND MOST TIME IN DROKS AND ASCALON
Me-No that is not true the average player spends less then a quarter of his time selling the good weapons he farms.
Jerk-NO YOU ARE WRONG I RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO YOU RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING IDIOT
Me-Buddy calm down dont have a heartattack we can talk this out i like to argue just calm down.
Jerk-GO DIE MOTHERRED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOER
Me-Ok man have a nice life.

Reported.

HAHAHA
I love those people!!
I was playing an older character a while back (Necro chick, who I'll admit for a video game character could have been considered 'cute'), anyway, this kid comes up to me and whispers "Hey there, I'd just like to say you're probably the hottest necro in this district. I've never seen a necro as cute as you."

*thinks to self ... 'hmm ... is this going to continue?'*

And sadly, the kid continues, who, I eventually realise is either extremely sloppy at typing, or is 12.

I found it rather amusing, so, being a guy playing a chick character whilst laughing my ass off, I decided to play along.
Bad idea.
BAD idea. haha

He continues to state that he's going to add me so we can hang out 'in-game' and do some quests and stuff, but I 'needed to get a couple other sets of armor' so I could look different every time he saw me.
The problem with that is at the time I never really payed attention to the 'ignore' option on a friends list. He added me, though I didn't add him, which meant he could continue spamming his pick-up lines thinking I was a girl, but I eventually blocked him.

Now I just simply state that I'm a dude.

As for in-game jerks ..........
I hate when you're in a town trying desperately to make a few grand (quickly, due to reasons which prevent you character from farming, such as level), so you try to sell a bunch of weapons, and someone says "I'll buy that."
You, or myself, gets all excited in hopes of finally making that extra 3k to get your max armor and the dude takes a half-second to look at the item and says "omfg, I don't want that shit you noob, get real items, you don't even have 15k. quit the game."

The funny part is, in advertising for the sale request, I specifically stated the what the weapon was, and what its mods were, and he agreed to buy it, yet ... I'm a noob because the weapon is crap? Right ...
Second of all, wtf does not having 15k armor have anything to do with the items I'm selling?
3rd of all, who cares whether I have 15k or Drok's? Same damn stats, just better appearance, and I'm not one to care so much that I need to spend hours saving for something that's just going to make my character more visually attractive ... yet ... alike to almost 1/4 of the rest of the characters in the game.

Sorry for long post.

I ran into this type of "player" last night twice in RA (yeah, just killing some time). He/She/It would just cast a +2 mending on everyone and sit at the spawn point. He/She/It was only level 17 and never used any skill other than mending and constantly spammed mending on self when finally attacked. Looks like this bot was trying to farm faction and experience.

A couple of observations -- if this is a bot, then why not at least go with a +4 mending to increase your odds at faction gain? It's already bad enough on the team who has this "player" having to go 3v4. Also on the fire map, mending just fell off everyone due to range before the conflict even started.

I have been in teams with bots.

One was the warrior who latched onto me and followed me all around the match like a henchman, didn't attack, didn't res, didn't do a damn thing. However, we did win a few before I realized what he was. Reported him, with screenshots of... our team's conversation, because what else is there to report with a bot? Not like you catch 'em red handed not doing anything.

The other was the trapper, who did just stay at spawn point and trap, trap, trap, over and over and over. Reported that one too; luckily it wasn't on my team this time.

Never been on the team with the low-level Mending monk though. Is it a leveling bot as well, which will eventually get this monk up to farming speed soon? May have paid extra for that. Probably they figure folks are happy enough to see they have a monk on their team that they won't leave right away, even with +2 mending.

These people are jerks and griefers.

I find it very sad that this thread has gone on for so long, and has so many posts. kinda makes you lose faith in humanity doesn't it?

Matix411 · Apr 26, 2006, 03:34 AM // 03:34

Edited by Dralspire: The in-game name "John Doe 1TDX14" was used to replace an actual IGN. This post makes no representation as to the actions of any real in-game names as that would be against forum rules.

*****

I actually find it quite humerous to see what people have experienced.

Speaking of which ...

I just experienced this while doing the Across the Wall quest in Pre.

I was asking around, looking for a group etc., some Warrior dude named John Doe 1TDX14 (it'd be funny if it was one of you :P) replies 'ye bitch lets do that shit, add me i wanna go across the wall.'

So, I added him out of dire need to get the quest done.

We don't talk at all, the entire quest, except when I tell him not to aggro Charr because we'll both die ... what does he do? Aggros the Charr.

Anyway, we finish the quest, and we're outside the wall getting our rewards when this convo starts: [keep in mind spelling is as chat goes ... for sentimental value. ok minus the swearing.]

John Doe 1TDX14: lets kill the charr
Me: i'm going to fort ranik actually, then i'm gonna head to post, sorry, thanks for the help though.
John Doe 1TDX14: ur dithcing me?
John Doe 1TDX14: thats f***ed up
Me: no .. the quest is over, i told you i was looking for a group to do across the wall, and you agreed. the quest is over, so i'm going.
John Doe 1TDX14: i helped you all the way through
John Doe 1TDX14: and all you have to do is ditch me?
*i start getting irritated, sounds like we're dating*
John Doe 1TDX14: ur heart is black
Me: yes ... black
John Doe 1TDX14: i died twice to help you man
John Doe 1TDX14: ur f***ed up
Me: lol, i told you not to aggro
John Doe 1TDX14: go
John Doe 1TDX14: i don't want to see you anymore
*i'm laughing out loud at this point, totally dating, isn't it obvious?*
Me: lol
John Doe 1TDX14: go
***John Doe 1TDX14 starts dancing.***
John Doe 1TDX14: aite, now you can give me money
John Doe 1TDX14: well call it even
Me (while running back to Ascalon gate, while he's still standing at North Wall): yeah, the 5gp i have, hahaha
John Doe 1TDX14: cheap bastard.
*John Doe 1TDX14 has left the game*

To above Poster - NO NAMES!

Not really, this thread is just a way for folks to vent their frustrations. People don't have bad experiences in the game nearly as often as good ones, but the bad ones have more of an impact. In the working world, the saying is "It takes one awe-crap to wipe out 1,000 atta-boys." Besides, I've never had that much faith in humanity, anyway.

Suilebhain · Apr 26, 2006, 01:26 PM // 13:26

Not only no names, but it seems your "jerk" thought that he found a team mate and didn't realize that it was a "one quest stand", something I have always hated myself but have grown to learn to expect.

Nope, in this case, I would have to say that your jerk was NOT the jerk.

Matix411 · Apr 26, 2006, 05:36 PM // 17:36

Appologies abou the name.

And he was being obnoxious since before he even accepted the request to join a group, I dunno about you guys but I find the obnoxious people are usually jerks the majority of the time.
Not only that, I specifically told him I was LFG for Across the Wall QUEST, not "LFG for questing" or "LFG to go Charr hunting".
Whether he realised it was quest-only or not, he was being obnoxious and then resorted to swearing at me and expecting me to give him money after. Well, for one, I never asked him to help ME with the quest. I assume that when I join a group it's to help each-other, not one specific person unless they specify that they are the only ones needing help.

LFG to me is to look for a group of people, or one single person, to enter a mission or a quest, or simply PvE, and complete it (defeat it) by means of teamwork. Not only did he ignore me for the entire quest when I asked not to aggro the Charr, he told me to give him money in the end. I didn't ask for a runner, and he didn't 'run' anything anyway.

If I was being the jerk, I simply would have left, but I had said thanks originally for helping with the quest and then he assumed I was ditching him and continued to swear at me and make childish 'put-your-foot-down' comments like "Go, I don't want to see you anymore."

People have different levels for considering someone a jerk, it doesnt' always have to be an extreme case.

To him, I'm obviously the jerk, but to me, not only was his response to the situation immature, but he over-reacted. I was immature in that I decided to dance in front of him while he was ranting. True. But I wasn't doing it to piss him off, I was doing it as a joke to find out if he was actually being serious or not. Then he decided to ask me for money.
If someone's looking for a group or person to fight things with, SPECIFY when you join. I specified when I sent out the request and he, for some reason, neglected to notice the 4 or 5 words after 'LFG.'

Yeah, most of the time when I do Across the Wall, the other player will inevitably ask, once it's complete, if I want to charr hunt. I always say no. Across the Wall is usually the last quest I do before I go post, so I'd prefer to hunt charr in the post world. Everyone has always accepted my 'no' with good grace. If you advertise for a certain quest and the person accepts, you can only expect them along for that quest. You can ask if they want to continue with you afterwards and do other things, but the person is under no obligation to agree. If you're looking for someone to hang out with over several quests, state that up front.

Lol true, I probably shouldn't have added him, but as I said I was in dire need of completing the quest so I could go post ... I got the quest anyway, but never again .. haha.

Biggest jerk i came across was a guy who ran up to me opened and opened a trade window,
i didnt want to be rude so i wated to see what he was offering,

he offered me loads of different colored dyes and a crappy bow,

i closed the trade window and said:
" i dont dye my armour untill i have either the 1.5k ones or the 15k ones and the bow i have all ready is good"
which i believe is pretty reasonable,

and he replyed:

" well that makes u a F****** retard then doesnt it, whats the point in leaving ur armor its normal color "

to which i responded:

" id rather save the money for decent weapons/armor than spend it on dyes which im just gonna waste on crappy armor "

then he said:

" o go F*** urself u stupid n00b, Learn to play the damn game "

and i just laffed and he left.

where do these people come from?

Zephro · Apr 29, 2006, 02:22 PM // 14:22

Advertised for a Bonus only group in Sanctum Cay. had a lvl 16 ranger wanting to join. Being not too picky, i let him in as well.
He then proceeded to AFK the rest of the mission.
At times like this I wish there was a kick function.

Ok I was in UW helping a group of rangers cap a spider. (I didnt need to cap was just there for support, so no loss for me lucky

)

anyways we all decided before even entering UW who will get the first spider.

so we go in doing the quests etc. we all go to kill the last couple of restless spirits on the hill behind the balthazar statue where the spider spawns and i noticed one of the rangers started heading back (NOT the one who is suppose to get first cap).

anyways, you can all guess what happened. we finished the quest, spider spawns, and the bastard quickly charms and quits out of UW

geez what an ass! luckily it wasnt me who need to cap
