Ok, here's my quick story.

I like jumping into the random arenas for a quick game now and then. I usually like to appear friendly to the group to get them talking to each other, so I say "Howdy!".

Almost always, some people reply with some greeting and appear nice.
But this day was different!

Within 3 seconds of my "Howdy!", I get the reply...

"STFU DWIG!!!!"

I was initially stunned at this smack in the face, and was thinking of a reply, but as I was thinking, this unruly person was making demands on the other players in the party and telling them they MUST do as he says during the battle.

I thought better of posting, and just logged off. I didn't feel like getting into the abuse. I just want to play to have fun.

Oh well, that's my jerk-of-the-day story.

Sorry, Dwig, that sucks. Was he on your team, or the opposite team?

I'll say hello to you if you're on the other team and you say something first; however, I will usually keep my trap shut during random arena, even amongst my own team, under most circumstances. It goes a long way toward prevention of drama and trauma.

[I've already told my story somewhere on the forum, when I thanked a monk for the healing--he thought I was being sarcastic cause I died once, there was a small scene, and suddenly I'm on his ignore list

Back aways when I had a level 8 Mo/E in Ascalon doing the Walls quest...

There was this guy... I think he started a trend.

He looted everything that I couldn't pick up because I was responsible enough to heal over picking up some pennies.

He ran in when we were getting the pieces of the cannons.

He refused to use his Res signet on anything until it was down to only him.

He unequipped his weapon to show off how much more damage he does than Monks...

He, most of all, begged for Mark of Protection... WHEN WE WEREN'T EVEN A TOWN AHEAD!!!

I didn't even know what it WAS at the time... I obviously know now...

Biggest jerk i have seen was in ToA. I was advertising:

Stance tank LFG for UW.

A random single n/r invites me.
I ignore it.
Jerk: Accept me.
I ignore him.
Jerk: Accept me. I can be your next necro.
I still ignore him.
Jerk: Accept me.
I decline his invite.
Jerk invites himself again.
Jerk: ACCEPT ME! I Will be your next necro.
I still ignore him.
Jerk: Plssss accpet me. I'm pro in UW.
Me: Look, I'm looking for a group. I don't want to start one. Ok?
Jerk doesn't answer. Few minutes later:
Jerk: Accept me.
I decline him.
Jerk in public: "Don't invite Nocens Blighthammer!" then something about how i hacked the game so i could steal your loot...
Then he spams it.
He shut up for a while.
Then he invites himself to the group i am in.
Says the same thing in group speach. I get kicked.

I changed districts.
He starts swearing at me.
I ignore him.

I don't run into jerks anywhere near as much as I run into plain old idiots. I tend not to inflame the jerks as much because I just leave parties that put up with people like that and I tend not to speak a lot unless there's a lot of stuff going on.

However, there is a fine line between an idiot and a jerk, and they're both just as annoying. =)

Tonight I met the ultimate Berserker who gives Warriors a bad name. Forgot what his full name was. It was Nizo something or another. Anyhoo. He was a generic noob W/R that swings sword and uses Healing Signet/Troll Juice ad nauseam. The idiot went blitzing into Hell's Precipice like it was pre-Searing and got himself killed several times, never waiting for energy to recharge, always racing off after each fight. Well we pretty much gave up on him and made plans to regroup and restart the mission but let him go get himself killed one more time.

Right before we jumped ship on him, he crossed that fine line from idiot to jerk.

"WTF why u not doin anything."

"Im doing all the work."

"U du nothing u pussies."

Well, calling us pussies for reloading our weaponry (spells) after each fight really ruined my day and made me want to sulk in the corner and cry.

We ditched the dumb###.

We went through with a far more disciplined team and beat the mission in one shot. End of story.

Not the biggest jerk I've run into in this game, but worthy of public humiliation nonetheless.

I also ran into some guys cracking Jew jokes last night in the wee hours of the morning. The screenshot didn't come out though, so next time I'll get those Fochers.

EDIT: By the way, this might be the video of the angry guy smashing his monitor. Not the same as the kid flipping out at his X-Box.

Most recent jerk story:

It was during the Halloween period. The horseman in Ascalon was dishing out treats in return for charr carvings. Due to the lazy attitude of many players, they were buying the carvings rather than getting them for themselves.
12 Charr carvings (enough to get all 4 goodies) were therefore selling at stupid prices like 750 gold. I farmed Charr for about 45 mins (I had nothing much else to do, lol, and could do with some easy money). I made about 3k. Anyway, I was selling my wares in Ascalon when the following dialogue evolved:

Me: WTS: Charr Carvings
Jerk: How much?
Me: 750 for all 12
Jerk: LOL
Me: What? That is the going price right now.
Jerk: LMAO in your face
Me: Whatever. You're obviously slow to catch on to new trends.
Jerk: OMG STFU NOOB I HAVE COMPLETED GAME 6 TIMES!!!
Me: So?
Jerk: That makes me wise
Me: No, it makes you a sad individual with too much time and too few friends.
Jerk: STFU I HAVE 15K ARMOUR AND 60K IN STORAGE
Me: So?
Jerk: You are wasting your time
Me: I made 3k from these carvings; I don't call that wasting time.
Jerk: LOL I can make that in 30 mins
Me: If you are so high and mighty, why don't you go hunt charr carvings rather than trying to buy them?

I fail to remember the rest of the conversation, but I recall it ended with him realising I'd forced him into a corner, and he responded in the only way that jerks can - by calling me a noob and then ignoring me.

I love how so many jerks say "I have completed this game 4 times" - as if it makes them superior to you.

Lol.

quanzong · Nov 12, 2005, 11:49 AM // 11:49

I meet Jerks all the time, when people sell shields and swords they think are the best. Like Grognars shield with 16 defense -2 recieved dmg and +45 health while in stance req 8. He sells them for like 20K, but he has like 4 of the exact same shields and wont admit that its actually a collector shield. Then after a little arguing this guy thinks im noob, because I think his shield is collector item, I show him my MAGMAS shield and crystalline sword, then he cancels the trade and says your shield sucks, its 15 defense, and ignores me. 16 to 15 denfense big deal, which one looks better?

Sister Rosette · Nov 12, 2005, 11:59 AM // 11:59

During an Orozar run some jerk started using the trade channel....

Lol nub.

unienaule · Nov 12, 2005, 02:13 PM // 14:13

You just had to put my name in there too! At least I wasn't a huge nubzor like Savio.

Savio · Nov 12, 2005, 02:19 PM // 14:19

Well, earlier today some jerk called me a nub because I like to type in pink.

EDIT: This comment doesn't really make sense if you don't look at the page before this one...

Mr D J · Nov 12, 2005, 04:56 PM // 16:56

lol that makes me laugh and I have 4 15k armor sets and still consider myself as a lets say a medium range player

This is just a simple post, on why you think people are jerks/idiots in Guild Wars. Does it specifically serve a purpose? Is there relevance to training a whole zone on your party? What went wrong, what spoiled brat didn't get what he wanted today, etc..

Why? Simply Why. Did the parents go wrong raising them in values? I doubt it.
Are they simply idiots/jerks by nature? I mean, when you're in a FoW group, and one person doesn't like that "Noones giving him the dark remains" so he runs out and trains and wipes the whole group; one question arises. Why?

Post your Thoughts/Comments on why you think people are the way they are when they become rude/jerks/idiots.

THIS is not a VENT post, so please do no rant, rather, discuss what you think their mentality is? IE: "They didn't give me what I want, so I'll screw em' over"

[[Edit: This is also a reason why good PUGS are hard to find]]
Remember, no names. Just say soandso.

unienaule · Nov 12, 2005, 05:41 PM // 17:41

I don't know. What exactly do you mean by trains?

Shimus DarkRaven · Nov 12, 2005, 05:42 PM // 17:42

Trains, is my Everquest kicking in. Training = Running around, aggroing everything and pulling them back on your party.

Monseir · Nov 12, 2005, 05:43 PM // 17:43

they think your such a jerk, that they get pleasure out of annoying someone.

Alone) · Nov 12, 2005, 05:48 PM // 17:48

Don't think the posts before were very helpful. Well, maybe the part about the pleasure out of annoying someone.

Well, it's an online game. No one can tell who you really are. And sometimes, people just want to let out some steam, or just let their dark sides of themselves go all out in Guild Wars. Not cool sometimes, but it happens all the time. No one really gets in trouble in Guild Wars if they start being a jerk to anyone they feel like. So it's like an open door. But this doesn't mean they are jerks in the real world. I just find it funny that my 9 year old brother is more mature than the 20 year olds I meet up.

wolver1ne · Nov 12, 2005, 05:49 PM // 17:49

Because truth about human stupidity is yet to be uncovered. That's why.

Well, in general, 15k is a sign of experience with the game. However, this does not make one inheiritantly better than someone else, i.e. you can't use it as a bragging right.
