he he he

i got a similar story.

a while ago we were in THK, found by a miracle 2 monks that actually joined a PUG. when we got to the keep, they all of a sudden said that if EACH player will not give them 1k they will not heal and will just stand there and wach us die. we were sure they joking, but they actually stoped healing. i didnt care about 1k and was to pay half half with my guildie for entire group (so long ago i was rich... good times) cuz i was greedy for time wasted, but we had like 2 guys who rage-quit, so we just restarted...

Not the biggest jerk ever but certainly one worth never taking on a mission again.

My wife and I were taking our Canthan characters through Tyria yesterday and picked up an ele an a necro at Sanctum, the necro was only lv 15 which is kinda low in Sanctum (real players ofc, not runners only) but hey, what the hell, we had 4 lv 20 Canthan's with us so we figured he wasnt going to be too much of a liability.

So, we do Sanctum Cay with bonus and the little necro does fine, when we get to the desert he kinda begs us to run him to Augury, I reply that I'm not a runner but that he can tag along (ie, fight our way through).
When we get outside he seems to think we're going to run him so we quickly tell him to pull his weight and, to his credit he does.

We get to Augury and from there I can run it to the missions so I tell the ele and necro (who's very grateful) that we'll run them to the missions if they want to stay.
Fast forward to Dunes of Despair, we've picked up 2 peeps and we're doing the mission when one of the new ones decides to have a go at our necro because he wasnt making bone fiends but minions.

When he fails to get a rise out of him or the rest of us he starts with the 'yu noob dont even have bone minions' line, at which point we tell him that as far as we are concerned the necro pulled his weight and is trying his best. Not everyone has uberskills or knows where to get them, after all. We basically tell the 'abuser' to STFU as the timer counts down to 0, aced the mission.

So, we are back at Augury and the abusive idiot really expects that we'll let him stay in the party for the other two missions, I dont think so.
Kicked him out, ran the group to the other two mission and did them without a death and the bonus on both

In short, what goes around comes around, hehe.

Well, nothing too special, but during a mission,a necromancer goes 'afk'. Ok, so we'll just play without him. Sure, it happens often, the problem was, he was following us, never casting or attacking and just picked up items. Eventually, the party falls due to improper aggro and the necromancer is alone. Waiting for a ressurection from the Necromancer, he just leaves the party instantly.

Very fun.

I had a monk in a FoW PUG who wouldn't stop bugging me about my build. Maybe not the biggest jerk, but extremely annoying. I don't mind if you ask me nicely to change skills before the run, just don't constantly tell my that my build is noob. -_-

Danika.

It was me and 7 henchies. The only ones left alive were Aidan and Danika. Danika was standing on my corpse. Aidan was trying to kill the one remaining monster, an ele mantis boss (the one with Gust). Boss couldn't kill Aidan. Aidan couldn't kill boss. Danika stood there and did nothing but throw a Jamei's Gaze at Aidan from time to time. I fired up the PS2 and played for a good half hour while this comedy played out. Aidan wouldn't burn his sig on me because Danika was alive. Danika wouldn't rez me because she's a <insert expletive here>. I finally just zoned. Jerk.

Yeah, henchies can be such jerks!

If you're talking about stupid henches, I got one to tell. This one time at the end of the quest, I died and the healer died quite a bit far away from the group.

So the henchies finished off the remianing enemies and all I had to do is talk to the guy there. The only henchie that can rez is the spirit hench but he decided to run all the way to the healer hench. When he got there, enemies popped up so he decided to run back to us. On his run back, the enemies dissapeared so he ran back to the healer, the enemies popped up again and he decided to run back to us.... Well, u get the idea.. on and on, the spirit henchman just ran around in circles!

I had to redo this mission! (ARF!)

Luckily I haven't run into many jerks but the most annoying person I have met was a warrior advertising a perfect fiery dragon sword in ascalon. I whisper him to see it (I was still using one at the time) so I look at in trade. Basically it was a max damage fiery dragon sword (I think it was clean). I told him that it wasn't perfect just max damage so he basically started calling me a noob???

Another one was when I was going from city to city trying to sell some junk including dyes. So when I get to ToPK I start advertising my stuff. Some random jerk suddenly tells me to take the dyes and shove them up my ass. I ask him what his problem was but he basically starts flaming me so I ignore him.

A few days ago saw a jerk/scammer in presearing selling devourer eggs (or trying to) for 500g claiming that they were used to grow your very own mini pet devourer...sheesh...

Last night was in Jade Quarry waiting to get in, and a Rit pops in and we're all talking about random stuff and he comments that he was surprised that the assassins (me and another) had actually made it this far in the game. Well the other had help from guildmates, to which he said "well no wonder you made it this far then." Didn't respond when I told him I had henched the entire game up to that point though...

Lol had one of the henchies be a jerk (if that's even really possible)....fighting my way to Grotto to get my 15k necro armor, and get over run by ice imps...doing ok...then notice there is less healing than usual and soon we're all dead...but no res count is coming up...Lina was still alive and had run away from our party...I still don't know where the heck she was heading, but it wasn't towards any of us, completely off the radar too...lol just flat out running away, least till she ran right into another mob of imps...lol stupid hench

dr_james2k · May 31, 2006, 07:16 AM // 07:16

lol, I still have a devourer egg but I'm saving it for the last mission to throw at the titans.

I remember being told in pre searing that dropping money and gold items scared off enemies... suffice to say I didn't believe them.

I think the people in Shing Jae Monastry shouting "Who has the Collectors Edition and want to earn a quick 10.000 gold?" count as Jerks.

At least they do in my book.

I'd say it's number 1 on the top-10 list of 'worst ways to begin a conversation with a woman' only I've seen worse... much worse...

I used to get stuff like this all the time at table top RPGs in my teens whenever I dared a female PC... I've got some really strange stories from those days... the kind that would make you glad you have the screen of 'virtualism' to be able to avoid them with... You just have to wonder with some people.

The best pickup line I have ever heard was "do you want me to shave so you have somewhere to sit?" Of course everyone was just comparing crappy pickup lines at the time. It cracked me up though! Even better that it was a bearded man saying it!

Jerk story of the day: Getting a masters group together for the Sunjian(spelling) mission, the one with the 4 construct bosses at the end. People seemed really confused from the start, like they weren't sure which direction to go. Someone decided to go afk during the middle of a fight, then come back and say they were sorry they were filling out a college application. What the heck!!!! I mean it was advertised as a bonus group!

I have no problem with people wanting to watch cutscenes, but I am pretty sure that they are counted in the timer! I may be wrong, and if I am it sucks that I yelled at them for not skipping. I want to know the story too. We were advertising with the need for haste though, since it was said over and over that it was a bonus group. That people needed to skip the cutscenes and all that.

It was just completely disorganized despite all preperation to the contrary. Everything went out the window the second the mission loaded. It was a complete waste of time for me.

I've never heard or seen that before. What do they want for the 10k ?
(Just so I can be prepared and don't get hit by them

)

The CE mini pet, then resell it for 100kish (don't know for how much they're going now).

I just meet the one single, most anoying person ever: I was doing Tahnnakai- Temple, 3 Swords, with a nice PUG. Well nice except this W/mo, who would always call... that's not bad, you say? Well he would call everything at least 3 times jumping targets at random. If he got blinded, he would ping that, till the condition was removed, over 2 sites. After we finished a mob, he would ping the door, till everyone stood bevor it. He never reacted to my insiting he'd stop it. I put him on ignore after the 7th boss. Really, he was just too anoying, but we managed the mission fast, I guess everyone just wanted to get away from him.
