K here's a jerk story I have that just happened to me right now actually. So I was in Kaineng Dis1 trying to trade or sell my mini pet Fungal Wallow. This guy says in trade screen that he's selling his Kirin and asks people to send him an offer. So I figure I'd just offer my Fungal Wallow expecting him to say no lol. But he says he really wanted one so I go ok we'll trade. I type in his name and enter him into my party and hit the trade button with him. I offer my pet and he offers his and then suddenly cancels. Then he goes on to call me a noob and all the usual stuff. So I ignore him and tell him somewhat politely

that he could've just said no and didn't have to be a jerk about the whole thing.

So the next time someone tells you you are a loser for being online too much point out where they are currently at!...and just be happy that you have something that you enjoy doing!

You rock ^^

Mkay, nice one here: We had a party of 5 guildies for the Riverside Province mission. It was quite late at night, and we were going to try the mission and bonus before we went off to bed. One player short, we invited a random, a cutesy female warrior. Doing Mission and Bonus? That was allright with her...

We went along, merrily killing off the towers, when 2 towers from the end she rushes off towards the boss at the end and starts attacking him. Leaving us without our tank, and endangering the bonus and mission.

Our team-leader called out to her to get back, but she didn't. Didn't even answer. Just kept at it, and slowly getting killed. Our teamleader kept telling her to get back, but she just wouldn't. We were kinday occupied, so we couldn't even divert to heal her, so in the end she died.

So, we finish off the tower we were working on, and during the lull in the fighting started to ask her WTF she was thinking of? Didn't she want the mission? No answer. So we finally promised to rez her if she would only explain herself, and then we would get on with the mission. Still no answer.

No explanation, nothing. Not even when we when we kept asking while we finished the last tower. Suddenly there is an answer; "Yo noobs, I'll just wait here and collect on the bonus and mission anyways."...

So we started to farm the area, killing everything in sight except the boss. A few hours later the entire map was totally devoid of life, and by that time she had left on her own. Friggin' leech spoilers....

The biggest jerk I ever met in GW scammed me for 40k. Now some of you might not find that all that much, but I just found a Bortak's Bone Cesta en reached 100k+ for the first time in my GW life. So I was pretty happy and started to look for things I could buy. Since I had enough money now.

I saw some guy offering some nice items.(Victo's Bulwark, Sup Absorbtion, Purple Crystaline etc.) for very low prices. So i replied that I would liked to buy his Sup Absorb wich he was selling for only 40k. So we got to storage and tried to trade. The trade screen got canceled again and again, so I thought it must be a bug or something. I said I'd reconnect and try again. But ofcourse after all those tried I wasn't paying attention anymore to what he was selling and he switched it for a Sup Hammer Mastery.

I know it was stupid of me and it is a common scam.(I know now) But it still sucks! I had a really hard time not to call him all sorts of things, but I do advertise through PM to him once in a while: "WTS Rune of Sup Hammer Mastery - 40k! Your chance to clear your conscience!" But for some reason he never replies.

I encountered my 2nd but worst jerk so far tonight doing the Captured Son quest on my 2nd canthan character (mesmer)...It starts off ok but the leader may not have known much about the quest, no biggie. Well an assassin starts to lead everyone to a certain area. Then someone draws on the map to go to another location and everyone does. He starts yelling how we're all stupid and noobs, etc etc...all because people followed what someone drew on the map!

We go to the beach to kill the crimson mobs and he suicides and pulls the mobs into us hoping to kill us but doesn't and then he ragequits. So I PM him and ask why did he do that? Here's the brief conversation:

Me: WTF...why did you do that then leave?
Him: You're all idiots, you can't follow directions or you'd be done by now (mind you, it's 10 minutes into this quest and nowhere near over).
Me: You say we all are as if the entire group is at fault or is bad at the game.
Me: This group isn't so bad, it's better than 99% of the PUGs trying this quest.
Him: I have no idea what you just said so w/e
Me: So how much GW knowledge do you have if you don't know what PUG is?
Him: I've been playing for 6 months noob
Me: 1 year here...in fact I just got my minipet as a gift from anet
Him: Well that's because you have no life

You are being ignored.

Real nice

o_O Few hours? I can solo riverside with my ele with no + armor spells. You said before going to bed you wanted the miss + bonus... but you still had "gew hours" to wipe everything?

Otherwise, he was a jerk.

I was part of a PUG doing Hell's Precipice mission (?) near the end of Prophecies campaign. It was the one where the titans spawn in a lava pit, and has portals guarded by wraiths.

The group was doing really well luring out a couple of monsters at a time and picking them off. As soon as the titan with the skill one player wanted died, one player decides that was all he came for and then proceeds to draw every single foe that he can on the map towards our group whilst laughing all and taunting us.

Eventually most of the group fell, when a couple of players had run away a bit to regen and res, he proceeded to lure more monsters back to those players also.

Ruphfus · May 08, 2006, 05:18 AM // 05:18

First let me say...

*****DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE ARBORSTONE MISSION IN FACTIONS YET***

***SPOILERS***

So, I was in a pug, none of my guildies were online, it was weird hours like 9am where I am, dunno why i was on really. Anywho... our teamwork was quite good for the first part of the mission. There was a W/mo who had fissure armor, i made the assumption that he has more experience playing a W/mo, being the character I was on was my own warrior, who i started in cantha, and first time i played the warrior class. Im a fan of the necro and monk. So i ask him if he can call targets, cause im not that good at it yet. Still learning some ins and outs of playing a warrior... Now it starts to get good. He doesnt respond, but starts calling targets. Doing a nice job too. We get to the final part, where u have to get the Kurzick chick to the door and defend her from all those stone rains, and the big warrior boss. Well he just runs in, then starts running all over, and aggros some Oni from the back left o the room. We manage to kill all the mobs, BUT NOW the kurzick chick is in the back of the room, no mobs left, and she is still doing the Blood of zu heltzer to open the door! SHE WONT MOVE CLOSER ON HER OWN. Shes supposed to open it while there are mobs still there, and u gotta protect her. It is a BITCH otherwise, cause u have to try and have necros sac life and what not to get her closer to heal. Well, I didnt know this at the time, i messeged some guildies and told them the situation, they told me what i had to do. i told the group hang on, bare with me im getting some info on this. few minutes go by and finally a guildie tells me we have to pull a mob of wardens from another room, close to the door, so she comes closer to heal. so i tell the group this. What does the jerk do... runs up the hill and aggros the dredge, they come down and kill danika. 1 hour wasted. begin attempt 4 at the mission. thank you.

***end spoilers***

I just had the greatest experience in any game, evar. EVAR.

Doing Mayhem in the market, so I go to Marketplace and go LFP. We get 4 guys, got bored of waiting, and take 4 hench. I was restoration rit, and our only other healer is sister tai (lol).

Of the four players, one was a sin, one was a 15 mesmer, and the other is the jerk. A Warrior if it helps.

Basically, he states that he wants to do the undercity part. Everyone else in the party hasnt even begun the quest, so we ask him if he can help with the wajjun bazaar part. He agrees so off we go. After a bit of fighting in wajjun, he leads us into undercity. In fact, I didn't know wtf happened until suddenly the Undercity loading screen popped up.

There were lots of wtf?s, but he assures us that the quest can be completed by talking to the people in the undercity. So, ok we believe him and we go. Lots of fighting, and I was doing my job rather well so no human player died (cant say that for silly henches). During this, he was starting to show his jerk side. Mainly, ordering us about, calling people idiots when they don't immediately do what he says (like LURE, BACK, HEAL and rubbish). Everyone was mildly pissed with him, but well it was alright. We reached Jinzo and Togo, and they don't say anything about the quest. Hmm. He makes some excuse, and I say ok just get us to vizunah or something. So alright. Continued fighting, we did well (he even said so), and in the process pissed me off. He called me a dummy when I died, and when I said I at least deserved some gratitude for keeping the party alive all the way, he made a sarcastic comment ("I forgot bout that"), and made fun of my name (Ariel moonriver, he called me arrow maker).

That was kind of the last straw for me, and the other 2 people in the group whispers me that theyve had enough of the jerk. So I start dancing. The group heads into the next fight, and all of them die.

I pissed the jerk off as much as I could "The arrow maker is tired, the arrow maker doesn't dare to fight" and stuff like that. After like 5 minutes of him begging, I rezzed Sister Tai.

Then I repeated the process. The group dies again. So I make him beg to rez tai. Then I leave them alone in a fight again. Repeat. In the end the other 3 human players ran out of the fight and left him and hench dead. We all started dancing. He cursed at us and quit.

Some may say I'm being the jerk. Well, he pissed everyone off, and everyone in the group agreed. After he left, we congratulated each other lol. That felt real good

Oh, and this is what being the only functional healer in a party can do

Braggi · May 08, 2006, 02:23 PM // 14:23

Somehow jerks seem attracted to the "Ruins of Surmia" mission like bees to honey, or flies to s.th. else...

First story happened to my Warri at about lvl 10 or so. Jerk is the lowest ~6-7, an ele/mo I think. First player drops at mission's start. The ele is way to cheeky for his survival abilities; when he dies the 2nd time (before we reach the prisoners) the second player leaves without a word. A wise decision...
My res sig is already used, so I ask him if he wants to carry on, which he affirms. I go ahead to kill the first boss for morale boost and res him. Needless to say that while he slows down some on my request, he still gets killed here and there, being too aggressive. Unlucky for me there are some bosses on the way, so I res him again.
Then we reach the bonus, and the moment the flame bearers cross the river he attacks them and pulls them to me... Funny thing is, we both survive as he keeps fighting, though just barely. When I sit down, look at him and ask why he did this, he goes "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I thought we wouldn't make it anyway..." - after I asked him if he wants to carry on...
I just shake my head (out of game^^) and say "well, you got to get that steam out of your system..." and log out to read a book. Nerd.
Did it with henchies the day after...

Second is fresh with my necro 11, a MM. With me a PUG of mesmer 10, ranger 13 (noob), ranger 17 (jerk). With the minions we race through the mission really fast, my companions provide bodies if need be, noob dies once. Until we reach the bonus. I ask if everybody knows this, where r13 says no. I explain "don't attack, just follow the bearers". No sooner said, r17 rushes forward with r13 in tow and attacks and kills them.
Naturally no reaction when we ask why. Ok, we shrug off the bonus. So mesmer and I advance to open the gate, while both rangers get lost (rofl) although we draw directions on the mini map. Waiting for them we ponder what it is with these rangers - can they only read the wind, but neither texts nor maps? My companion insists they're just plain stupid. Finally r13 turns up embarrassed, while r17 goes back to rurik to wait for the gate being opened... Yeah.
Then comes the plum. When we free the magicians they follow r17, and instead of leading them to the obelisks he just stands in a corner near the gate and stops reacting. Luckily I still had 3-4 minions at the time, so with rather high levels and minions we fend the attack off. Still jerk would have ruined another groups mission and bonus both...

Some guy attempted to scam me yesterday. I was selling (or attempting to sell) the Exalted Aegis shield but unfortunately most people were more concerned with seing its stats

Anyway some guy came up to me and asked how much I wanted for it. After checking the GW Guru auction prices I said 100k. So I put the item in the trade window and did submit offer. Then he submitted the offer without putting money in, hoping that I would be in a rush and accept, but I cancelled.

Then words similar to this were said:

Him: can i try it on? see what it looks like
Me: Your trying to con me eh, how lame
Him: XD

felinette · May 08, 2006, 05:17 PM // 17:17

Anyone who doesn't say thank you when given something for free. For example, you're out with a group, something nice drops for you but you're not the right profession for it, someone in the group asks you for it, you give it to them, and they don't even say thank you. People need to learn some manners.

Maybe as some people know, I'm a fanatic ''I Will Avenge you'' player (Iway).
I really hate it when we win a random Underworld or Broken Tower (Stage 1 and 3) map and we are getting called name. Like OMG STUPIDIWAYNOOB and other things like OMG ATLEAST WE PLAY A REAL F$CKING BUILD. People even whisper me after the game.

When I was in MATH (The good ol days

) people whisping me and say: Hey, who is the leader of MATH? I was in MATH when it formed. Or things like Hey, my friend made MATH can I join? Also people say they were in MATH, when I take a glimpse at their rank and it is 4 ( or something else lower then 8) I say that can't be true. You probably know the shit what happens then ..
OMG NOOB I'M PLAYING ON MY SECOND ACCOUNT YOU CAN'T AFFORD HUH LOL OMG NOOBZOR ROFL (Insert random 1337-speak).

End of message, please a bit respect and ignore the bad English

.

Iway ftw

Some guy said it's because I took too long and should "read the effing book," in which there is absolutely no mention that the quest rewards are time based. There is a little blurb that mentions performance based, which could be interpreted as number of mobs killed or time or anything really. But I guess I am psychically supposed to know this, right?

But no, this guy has to go on a huge rant about how n00bs shouldn't play etc etc.

Why can't people just not say anything if they're that bitter/angry?

But this has just been one of many times I have seen such behavior in players. The major problem with online gaming IMO is it has spawned millions of the super sarcastic, super cynical scumbags who are basically keyboard toughguys - they get off on pretending to be Andrew Dice Clay online, but you know in real life, they would cry and shake at the prospect of such actions.

Ha ha that is so true. They would probably run and hide under their mommies dresses when confronted in real life. But behind a keyboard, they are tough guys. If people think a question is a noob question, then just dont answer it. No reason to berate someone who just needs a little help. Maybe they act this way because they are getting their asses kicked in school all day, and are looking for someone to vent on.

We were just doing The Dragon's Lair.

Upon killing one of the Dragons, it droped a golden Longbow for me, as I was a bit far away, I ran toward to the drop, but some rather low valued person ran through the portal, in which, teleoprted us to the next area, and I was unable to get the longbow.

I can only hope the same would happen to the same person.
