Curse

The Fallen One · Jul 31, 2006, 06:42 AM // 06:42

I have two engaging tales from long ago to tell. I don't have screen shots and don't remember them exactly, and I'd like to send a shout out of jerk to all RA paladins in general who rush out into the fight and over extend, blaming me the monk later for letting him die :S.
Story Number 1:Me and Jerk, so original. We were doing Hell's Precipice, last mission in the game doing well bonus down we're going to end up those portals, I'm on my mesmer, and suddenly this guy who's another mesmer in the party(dunno how that happened but I got the game pretty early so I suppose people werent as allergic to having mesmers in their party for missions) asks me, "Are you using Energy Surge as your elite," I agree, my goal at that point was trying to be direct dmg mesmer with domination, e-surge has that eighty point hit so I took it. He suddenly starts raving at how noob I am and that I should bring Mantra of Recall. I tell him I'm not going for inspiration stuff more of an offensive angle, and he calls me noob again. A jerk and a bit of an idiot if I do say so myself.
Story Number Two:Conducted in LA some guy randomly whispers me with this conversation, I do not remember either side completely correctly but with the gist of it I replicate a likable conversation, both sides are completely grammatical to avoid confusion and over harrasment of the jerk.

Jerk:Where did you get that armor? It's totally gay.(I'm wearing 15k Granite Citadel Noble's Armor)
Me:It's 15k armor, and I think it looks pretty cool. (At this point he's run up to me, I notice him wearing full body Drok's Rougue's Armor)
Jerk:You're a disgrace to all Mesmers everywhere, you make all of us look like fa***** (At this point I'm totally confused and pretty p.o.ed)
Me:If you don't like it don't buy it, I'll tell you what it is just in case. (I think I told him the opposite of what it was, being pretty annoyed by now, hoping he would buy the armor he hated so much)
And I thought some 15k armor would get me a little bit of respect. Shows you how good that got me, the guy shoved me on ignore after a few more traded insults, this must be the most memorable of all stories in my book, random ppl being jerks for no reason...

Other dude: chillout

Smartass: Haha
Other dude: don't tell people to die...
Smartass: go for it mate
Other dude: that's just not on form
Smartass: in fact
Smartass: everyone report me

Seems to me the dude had learned a lot from reading "how to flame" pages

I very much doubt that most of these are made up. Considering how badly jerk-filled the Guild Wars community is right now, I'd say that there is probably no reason to make them up.

Oh, and this thread has many, many posts that do not use very good grammar, yet the jerk still shines through as a jerk.

Being that people are always complaining about one very specific topic, I decided to address it. Being that this is the jerk forum, I think it falls under it. Well, here it is, the grand difference:

W/mo: a primary class warrior with monk as his secondary for healing and various other purposes.

Wammo: A W/mo (or really W/anything in most cases) who is or has the intelligence statistic of a 12 year old. Wammos are easily pricked out by their constant use of "L33T" speech, horrible grammar, arrogance, constant complaining about PvE ruining PvP, over aggros, retarded actions and otherwise annoying the other players in the party.

So just remember, W/mo is a profession, Wammo is a state of mind.

This thread got me thinking about the patterns we've been seeing in jerk behavior, and I decided to compile them all into one handy checklist for amusement:

Guild Wars Jerk Notification

Aleta · Jul 31, 2006, 07:30 PM // 19:30

Oh my gosh I have not had such an entertaining lunch hour
in some time.

I never even realized this thread was here.

I would venture to guess these stories are true.
I have run into some unbelievable odd ducks and just plain mean
and rude peeps.

For the most part I try never to get dragged in and if someone
is being picked on or being ripped off if I can stop it I will.

I love GW and no jerk is going to ruin it for me

Guild Wars:
Doing the frost gate mission I think, been awhile, and this guy who was a complete a-hole the whole time grabs the torch you need to light the beacons at the end. At the last beacon when all that's left to do is use the torch on the beacon to win it he says something along the lines of he's going to go afk for a few hours now, have fun being screwed out of the mission. I don't know how long he really went away for, I grabbed a drink and he still wasn't back when I returned so I just quit the mission and did it over.

Any MMORPG:
Playing Diablo a decade ago I was one of those legit players, I played the game as it was intended instead of using cheats. In this game there was a hack running rampent that allowed players to make themselves invisible and invulnerable. You'd see that someone had entered the game but the name would be blank. I didn't really care, I just went about playing. They would usually find you, kill you in one shot, then grab your ear as a trophy of their "victory," though I fail to see how they could get any sense of accomplishment cheating so badly, and leave. Well one a-hole went all out in ruining my day. He went to the last level and dragged a bunch of monsters to the stairs. If you died to a player you dropped an ear, if you died to monsters you dropped all your stuff. So I went down the stairs and was dead before I was even finished loading. And of course since I can't get down there with equipment I sure can't get down there naked to get my stuff back.

It seems some people out there derive great pleasure from making others as miserable as possible.

DeathandtheHealing · Jul 31, 2006, 07:43 PM // 19:43

I was monking in the glint mission and we had 2 leavers because this one ranger kept rushing in or "leroying." So I just said i'm not going to heal you
after this i was called a slut and all the good stuff after that person died and i told them not to rez him because we've rezed him several times!! (and all they did was run into mobs)

after that and several other problems like that i deleted my pve monk and have never made another one.

Griff Mon · Jul 31, 2006, 08:58 PM // 20:58

I've recalled some favorites from the past:

Putting a FoW group together one time and the discussion got to the mix of classes that got into the party. Well, the leader added a second warrior and one of the ele's just went off on him saying that you only needed one warrior for FoW and that he was a noob for adding a second one. He proceeded to quit before we headed out.

On THK I was in a group where we were chatting amongst each other and I mentioned how satisfying it was to see all the yellow numbers that pop up when you hit with Spiteful Spirit into a large mob. He called me a noob for saying that because no one else could see the damage numbers besides me. He proceeded to quit.

Another one on THK was going off on how he was not getting anything out of this mission and was thinking of leaving. He was a monk and some players begged him to stay. He totally played this up asking for reasons he should stay, and endless remarks about how he should be doing something else, and how much of a better player he was, commenting on our play in a negative manner, etc., etc. Finally, after all the adulation had worn off and he got annoyed that no one was sucking up to him anymore, he left.

Once we cleared the area the monk tells us he/she doesn't have a rez spell on them...what???? I monk without rez?!!? Might be nice to tell somebody before everyone is dead!!

There's nothing wrong with being a smiting monk, unless you tell your group you're a healing or prot... Being a monk primary without a ressurect spell is usually a no-no though.

rhYmedizzle · Aug 01, 2006, 03:41 AM // 03:41

biggest jerk ive met so far is myself in the guild/alliance chat when i yelled and swore at everyone and everything about everyone and everthing

MFEB9X · Aug 01, 2006, 03:43 AM // 03:43

biggest jerk was a dude who ran using the sprint ability after a match. from that moment on, every character i make is part ele and has gale.

Anakin The Paladin · Aug 01, 2006, 03:49 AM // 03:49

I think the biggest jerks are 55s who dont tell you they are 55s until everyone is dead/semi-dead and Leeroy-ers.

Nodens · Aug 01, 2006, 03:51 AM // 03:51

I think we all know this conversation:

Me: *** WTS Purple Minipet Kirin. 45k ***
Jerk: 5k
Me: add 40k and you are the owner of a very nice pet mate

Jerk: 10k
Me: its 45k dude
Jerk: Ok, 15k, final offer
Me: ...
Jerk: ------ noob, ur mom ------ --- ----

happens daily, but still annoys the crap outta me... People really should know their price checks and act normal at normal prices

rhYmedizzle · Aug 01, 2006, 03:53 AM // 03:53

HHAHAHA omg i know exactly what ur talking about, i get so many bad offers for nice weapons, i post a price and they offer a non max dmg bow, 2 major runes, and like a plant fiber, grrrr

where did that come from? Goths don't always think about death, only the mall-rat ones that try too hard to be morbid.

I think that is just bullshit what he said about I'm better than you irl. He's probably some pasty white nerd which sits at home all day.
