I did Vizunah Square few days ago and realized the hench team tend to enjoy standing in the Ray of Judgment and melting. I PuGed Tahnnakai temple with 6 other people and noticed that they also enjoy bathing in RoJ's or any AoEOT spells casted by the temple guardians. This one spirit spamming rit got that circling flame (breath of fire?) move on him everytime we met temple guardians (about 2-3 guardians would cast on him at the same time), and he would just sit there wanding at them. One Shield of Absorption would always save him, but several times, I refused to use it and prevented my healer monk from doing so as well. So yeah, I just got annoyed at people who refused to move two inches when they were sitting in middle of ion cannon or other stuff.

The time I did that to someone, he was insulting my good friend because she was lagging, and when I told him so he reacted very rudely to me too. I asked her if she wanted to leave, and she said no, I can take it - and I wasn't about to leave her with that idiot. Who had an extremely bad bar and thought he was leet because he had Flesh Golem, I might add. We both stopped healing him at that point, and he ragequit shortly after he died in an amazing leeroy attempt and nobody in the group would rez him.

Also, yep, that circling flame is Breath of Fire, though I don't doubt they were standing in Bed of Coals, as well...

I'm like that, too. Divinity Coast drives me nuts, what with all the Chosen getting whacked by various enthusiastic Tengu. THK is just as bad - sometimes worse, depending on who decides to pick up our favourite King Leeroy, who once decided to take on a group of Mursaat head on - in HM. Unfortunately, I can't make him listen. If my guildies do that it's "AAAA WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT LEAST LET ME PROT YOU FIRST." (They've learned.)

I tend to rage quit quite often while monking for pugs, also I enjoy letting ppl die so I can dance on their bodies... but they usually deserve it... usually...

wow... this is one of the reasons why i like WoW over GW. There's WAY less scamming in WoW than in GW. I'm not saying ppl don't scam in WoW but I'm saying it happens WAY less than in GW.

Seriously.. for those who purposely scam or wait for the gold item to become public etc how do u guys sleep at night knowing u caused sadness and pain to a fellow human being who just like you like to play GW?

Yeah I reaaally don't think this is true. I don't think that people playing WoW generally are more honest than the people playing GW. Perhaps you've just met the wrong types of persons in GW.

Lol I once bought a non max celestial bow (when they were still quite rare) for 350g. Fair price as it was non max. They were worth max arounr 50k so I was selling it for 35k hoping someone was hoping for a good deal and quickly accept me before I got an good offer. So someone ran at me and offered me 35g (was still before trade pannel change it was still 35p and 35g instead of 35035g). I was like quickly accept before he notices it was non max. So I got 35g instead of 35k. He started laughting at me, saying I was dumb and blind and that I got scammed. So I said; "Bah It wasn't max anyway.."
Never heard something of him again lol. Double Scam :O

The worst thing I can think of that I have done was causing a party wipe in UW.. I wasn't concentrating, just "c-spacing" the mobs with my ranger, and I caused a little too much agro LOL and I didn't own up.

Pretty much what I would have written (except I rarely trade so I've never received more money than I should have). The worst I've done is made a stupid mistake while in a group and kept quiet that it was me.

Temidien · May 19, 2009, 02:23 PM // 14:23

I make small mistakes and accidentally aggro more than my team can handle (and promptly don't fess up). Aside from that, I guess I'm a saint ^^"

Minami · May 19, 2009, 02:52 PM // 14:52

Hmm... the worst thing I've done was quit on a pug team after trying Venta Cemetery with them in HM... Yes, they were the "let's rush in and aggro everything in sight at the 10th guard tower" kinds.... >_<
Afterwards I just LOLed cause I completed the mission h/h and they were still looking for a pug who'd take them :P

lol

I pray for forgiveness, I’ve done just this.

Oh, and I always make it a habit to give assassin that extra healing they need *cough* and back up a bit when Wammos race ahead so there is that little delay in getting close enough to help them. I’ve even also ‘forgotten’ to bring rez.

A long time ago I was monking in a PUG GvG, sipping my way through Captain Morgan and Coke (traditional drunk pug GvG drink). By the last match I was feeling pretty out of it. Long story short I was getting Warrior trained, and retreated... the wrong way. I found myself dying to enemy footmen by the gate to their base. Immediately told my team I was having huge lag problems and alt+f4ed out of sheer embarrassment.

The other one that comes to mind involved me on Monk again. I was guesting for a guild that ran something similar to the old EP dual ranger spike, and they were tearing up the ladder having just beaten Te. It was a lame build, and frankly they were pretty terrible at the game, yet insisted on trash talking everyone they beat. Eventually we came up against a guild (sTar) with a couple of friends of mine in it. They were prepared to face the spike, and we were getting rolled to begin with, but our luck changed. About half way through they had an err=7, and started to fold. As we were pushing them back to their base and feeling like the game was sown up my conscience got the better of me, and I faked an err=7, allowing sTar to make a comeback and win the match.

I know this is a confessions thread, but really !

admitting you play wow is like saying you eat babies. That’s just too horrible.

I did something similar on flagger once on Jade, though with no alcohol involved

. Capped, got distracted by something in RL for a couple seconds, ran for another flag in the wrong direction and started getting beat on by footmen. Once I realized my mistake I just stopped moving and talking on vent, then quit both a short time later.

Have also raged on countless bad pve pugs, usually after being pretty vocal about their ability at the game. And deliberately playing awful crap in low end pvp is just too amusing. Apparently American district RA is srs bsns.

OMG! Ladder manipulation! /ban

That's nothing compared to what I've done. I KILL people...just for Balthazar faction! *burst out crying*

dansamy · May 19, 2009, 05:15 PM // 17:15

I alt-tab while playing.
