Ninjas are always so nice yeah :/...

Maybe items shouldnt go available to all after period of time, and if you don't have time to pick one up before mission is ended or you have died, you still get it when going back to camps.

At least that would solve many sad situations.

Up date on my jerk story. Pm'd him again in game about wanting my axe back and he actually met me in tombs and returned it

She claimed she didn't notice you ghost. Oh well, strange, but it might happen. After the first 2 groups I noticed her zephyr only lasted 17 sek. that means she only had one point in survival.

We questioned her about it, and I noticed the other guy didn't knew her after all. Well, we asked if she was new to it, or had skilled wrong, but she just wouldn't answer. She said the had a point with it, but wouldn't tell what it was. Said she'd be in UW 20 times. Besides that she generally wasn't saing much, and spent too much time just standing there doing nothing.
We where still doing quite well, but the leader left shortly after the labyrinth.

I'm not quite sure if she was a real jerk, or just someone to ashamed to admit she skilled wrong, but the whole thing was quite strange.

Huh???? Is it just me or does this message make absolutely no sense?

I met a guy in droknars yesterday. Completely naked.
He gave me 1666gold for no reason.

I then noticed he qwas giving more stuff away to other people so I asked him why he was doing it.

He told me he had found out his neighbours password and wanted to piss him off so he gave everything away.
I tried getting as many items and gold as possible but it seems that the guy whose pw was stolen only had some crappy equipment and max 1666gold.
I got a large amount of worthless items and those 1666gold. He was about to give me a lot of dyes but my storage was full so I kept him busy by asking some questions.

While I was keeping him busy I tried contacting some people on my friends list to come and grab the dyes so we could later return them to the real owner of the account.

He gave me a lot of information. Apparently his neighbour is a "jerk" who burns videogames for a living.

He had to leave before I had a chance to get the dyes.

I later bumped into a guy who was in the same guild and asked him if he reallyw as in the same guild.
As it turns out, the guy had been hacked several times before and seems to be sloppy with his passwords (writing them down and allowing others to see them, etc...)

The original owner hasn't shown up yet =/

LOL d3kst3r! Because everyone knows that A.Net is my dad. >.>

Anyway, my jerk story is more of a sad/funny thing.

I'm getting a group together for THK via IRC. I finally manage to get an 8th player (and I do believe that that player was Dral, and I must say thanks again dude). Right as I mention to the party that we've got 8 and we start talking tactics, another person comes up and pm's me.

A Passerby: Hey, you guys full?
Me: Yeah, just got 8. Sorry.
A Passerby /rank (flashes a deer at me)
A Passerby: Ok, man, whatever
Me: LOL

And I imediately tell the mostly Guru team about said obnoxious jerk to the hilarity of us all. We move on to crush the mission in one go, with the bonus.

Too bad, so sad Mr. Rank Flasher. Guess you'll have to find a PUG then, huh?

d3kst3r · Apr 17, 2006, 03:43 AM // 03:43

I hate rank flashers.

"My dad is Anet. Enjoy your ban." lol that has gotta be the quote of the month though I think.

undeadpolice · Apr 17, 2006, 06:19 AM // 06:19

a bunch of kids keep pm'ing me trash talk becuz they keep losting to me in pvp

HawkofStorms · Apr 17, 2006, 07:49 AM // 07:49

Ring of Fire mission. A W/E flashes a tiger emote at the start of the mission. I'm just thinking, okay whatever, and let him brag about his 10000 fame and rank 10 account or whatever. I even chat with him and say that I hope I'll get thier some day (rank 1 and slowly climbing using a e-denial mesmer, blood spiker, and warder, all in balanced or spike groups).

Anyway, when we get the spectral essence from the Eidoleon, all 7 people in the team but him pick it up and run back to the seer to pick up the bonus. It is like a 5 minitue delay and we had already killed everything alread.

While we are running back to the seer, we notice he started to die. He had tried to attack the mursatt by himself. I look at the chat log and apparently he had said something along the lines of "okay guys lets go." After he died, he said "where the redengine are you guys?" We tell him we are getting the bonus. He then calls us noobs for wanting to get the bonus because "why do you need it you are all already level 20." We explain that it is for skill points and to infuse extra armor sets. He then proceeds to call everybody a n00b because they aren't rank 10 (he even calls a guy who is rank 6 on our team a n00b PvPer).

We argue with him for the rest of the mission and he dies two more times. I call him a n00b because he did not even realize that nobody else on his team was even on the radar with him when he started to attack. He laughed at us. "Lol, you calling me a n00b. Have you ever heard of <insert moderately good PvP guy in some top ranked guild which this guy is probably claiming to be his second account>"

In the end, we all come to the conclusion that he was just an IWAY fame farmer who didn't know any better. I thought he might had e-bayed an account, but he was not that n00bish and the rest of the team convinced me he was probably an IWAYer.

Just to contrast - here is the anti-jerk version

Regular (ish) PUG in Ring of Fire looking to do the mission (no bonus). Monk joins and flashes up the tiger emote. Group goes through the mission successfully even after another monk drops due in no small way to extremely good healing/bonding from said monk. No ego, no tantrums, just an extremely helpful player

I know there is a "no names" policy in this thread, so all I'll say is thanks to disoriented lady's skin mag

This is what I thought when I see your story. Fame farmer aren't so good in mission either

We were doing THK bonus yesterday and getting the party together, when someone asked what everyone's fame was. Quickly my response "Fame is unimportant in PvE" didn't hear any more about it after that and we went on to finish it up without any real problems.

Strange thing happening lately, I was helping someone out on an early mission with my ranger. Given he has a very silly name and very stereotypical, "Aimtrue Sureshot" but, hell, what's in a name?

So I get a message from like four people saying "Can you say your name outloud without laughing?"

I just start to ignore them and their stupid names. They just keep pm'ing me telling me how it is the worst name ever, even invite me to their vent server. Then they said that they were going to make a new guild in my honor so that it could be seen when they play in HoH.

So now everyonce in a while aparently one of them will just randomly pm me saying something stupid about it. I responded to them that I would love to see my name in the favor message and ask how their battle for favor is going (while Europe has held favor all day). The usually shut up for a while after that.

Then in a mission a day later, we go in and someone says "no offense, but that is the most stereotypic ranger name ever" I laughed and agreed and we all went on to have a good time.

It is amazing what people choose to fill their time with in these games sometimes.

So I was doing PvP in Silverpeak (sp).

Noticing that many people just go off on their own, I pointed a simple rules (which I assumed most know anyway).

Me: Let's make it simple. 1) Rez before fight 2) Rez monk first 3) Kill monk/ele first

Jerk: Let's make it simple. I will fight alone.

Me: Then you will die alone.

Jerk: I am 55 Monk

... needless to say, our team got butchered and he died alone.

Yeah, I know what the topic is about. I was giving background as to why I considered these people who keep pm'ing me to be jerks.

Well, sometime you can got bad names in a group and you know these players are Puggers (Players in PUGs). Anyway I got my lesson last day when I play with my mesmer in Dragon's Lair to help to slay Glint: Never answer a Blind invite = High rate of Pugs. I'd rather to help the newbies of the area than those who think they can kill Glint without problems in a pugs. I was called "n00b" by a Wammo because I haven't Interrupt her Crystal Hibernation (My skills recharged)

Ah I see why you posted before that, about the names in the post, that is my character's name, not anyone elses.
