I got a blind invite to a FoW group that was 7/8 and was whisked off just as soon as I set the skill I needed to do the run properly. We are instantly aggroed and no one is getting healed or rezed.

Both M/W's had run off and left us to get creamed. I managed to kill off the local monsters with a little help from the people left, but I was the only one left standing except the two monks that ran off without healing or rezing anyone.

I asked the dead group leader if he had screened the monks and his response was that he should have done that. Of course the monks don't respond to my inquiries and their names are very suspect as if they are completely incapable of creating names that were made by Americans. I was alone surrounded by dead teammates while the monks ran off and were getting all the drops.

I told the dead group leader what I was going to do. I aggroed the nearest group to the ghost who promptly died, killing the whole group including the monks.

Finally, the monks started typing something in another language. They were saying unpleasant things I am sure, but I was too busy laughing.

The group leader felt a little redeemed for spending his plat to bring along scammer monks, so I gave him a laugh.

They should test all new players to see if they can read and know how to use a serach engine. Question 1 would be like show us how to get to guild wars homepage and the game update section.

j/k
:P

GreatLich · Jul 06, 2006, 01:49 AM // 01:49

did you add the "j/k :P" because you thought you'd offend someone? I woulnd't be surprised if you did (both), really...

MMSDome · Jul 06, 2006, 02:06 AM // 02:06

ok now im confused, what were you arguing about?....

Esprit · Jul 06, 2006, 02:24 AM // 02:24

True and tried solution... turn off Local Chat.

It sucks that players out there aren't as informed as others and just mooch off the players who do know things, but they are either lazy or they are to young to know how to use the internet or they just don't know sites like this exist.

When I asked when the Emperor would come by (for the 2 hour period), at the beginning of the event, I got flamed and was told to go to GuildWars.com.

Yeah *sigh* the foolish Guild Wars masses are so clueless... -_- Can't they see how lost they are...? And I totally exposed that ignorant idiot's web of lies. *snickers* The nerve! It's a good thing they have wise folk like me to guide them. In fact I think I'll go start a thread about it now. I'll show them how how great I am.

Then they'll see...

Eviance...

If they get offended not my problem.

But if you really want to take my words seriously by all means do because in actuality a lot of people are lazy in guild wars and leech off others. There been many times where someone asked for something and I would give them a direct link to the info and they will flip out and curse and swear like the whiny little lazy brat they are since I didnt give them the answer all typed out. For example the other day in KC a guy asked what was needed for certain armors and where do you get them. I gave him the link of first page of Guide to Factions Armor (version 2.0) on gwonline and the guy right flipped out when that is a pretty decent link for info on all the canthan armors in my opinion and would have answered his question. Then about like 5 days ago there was a guy asking how to do the 30 attribute point quests in LA. I gave him a link to a walk thru for that which has maps and everything at evil avatar and he then flipped out saying I was useless and to f off. Its also happened many many other times.

Im at the point where I dont even reply any more unless its something that might not be as easy to find or the info isn't up to date since if they can't take the time to go search it especially on info as simple as this festival then really its not worth my time.

Something else too is that I find everytime an update happens everyone asking and you see them sit there since no one knows yet and within that time I am able to look it up. Actually in the time that it takes for like event updates and such I am able to minimize my screen and open the updates page on guildwars site and see whats going on. Its really not that hard.

To Meo Yeong: I find that it works out best for everyone if i give very brief basic answers to questions and also suggest the use of guildwiki.org. That way their question has kinda been answered and they know where to look next time. It just comes across as very condesending to only send someone a link about the information they have asked for. At least that is how it felt to me when I was new.

Nexus Icon · Jul 06, 2006, 08:23 AM // 08:23

I take great pleasure in playing a mesmer and annoying Wammos in Aspenwood.
Does this make me a bad person?

Seriously though, some of the insults you get whilst playing a mes there are just golden. The amount of people I've had call me a "NUB!1!" for hexing them and then using a snare to stay tantalisingly out of melee range is utterly hilarious. Even better are the ones who can't figure out Ineptitude or Clumsiness and come back over and over AND OVER again as their rage builds.

I have run into one necro there however who leeches and appears to be proud of it. Occasionally he plays, but when confronted about his leeching, he honestly can't see anything wrong with it.
It would appear that the concepts of honour and manners are not widely subscribed to in GW.

I wonder if any of the recent bannings have been leechers? That would be sooooooo satisfying.

firewalker · Jul 06, 2006, 12:14 PM // 12:14

well in my case it was in infusion, a guy offers a free run, and i was like ok nice, he runs everyone to infusion and then he refuses to give to the seer the monster's drop unless we pay 1k each =| i dont know how there kind of ppl are expecting to win money with this atitude, i left obviouly.

And, well, I decided to have some fun with it. The following quotes are exact, including typos, from screenshots I took in at the time.

Here's a bit to enjoy from the last gift drop in Shing Jae:

I had just entered the district and was running around looking for a good spot to get prizes. I like to go near NPCs, but with as few people there as possible. I found a spot by the wack-a-wurm NPC, which at the time, THERE WAS NOBODY IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA, not that it really matters.

{jerk}scab RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO ive been here whole time and you want to come down here?
Game - You pick up the Festival Prize.
Game - You pick up the Festival Prize.
{jerk} - get the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO away from me
{jerk} - RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing scab bitch

At this point, I decided to move a little closer to my new friend.

Jerk (All) - im sick of scab RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOs that cant get thier own so come to someone elses area
Other1 (All) - RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing shut up dipshit
Game - You pick up the Festival Prize.
Other1 (All) - it's not your RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing area
Game - You pick up the Festival Prize. (this one was right at jerk's feet, but unfortunately, he was too busy typing...)
Jerk (All) - tsb has been nored as a scab guild
Other2 (All) - dude
Other3 (All) - who dictates which area is which?
Other2 (All) - dont b RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing greedy
Jerk (All) - tell that to this scab
Other4 (All) - you all really need to chill
Game - You pick up the Festival Prize.

Other5 (All) - if your life depends on this crap so muchyou need to get a new one
Other4 (All) - exactly
Game - You pick up the Festival Prize.
Jerk (All) - i think monkey blonde does, shes snatching them like her moms life depends on it
Jerk (All) - monkey must come from a broke ass guild
Other6 (All) - wa wa wa
Other7 (All) - lol
Jerk (All) - RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO that, if they want to act like broke nigga then they'll be refered to as broke niggas
Jerk (All) - people bragging online=broke in r/l
Other8 (All) - That's it. You guys can stop whining now
{jerk} - too bad your guild has to suffer for your stupidity
{jerk} - and btw, you've been ignored, and your guild will have to pay for ferries into deep or urgoz
{me} - you control both elite missions ?
Player Jerk is ignoring you.
{jerk} - lol im god friends with the alliances that control both, and your guild will suffer
{jerk} - good luck trying to get into elite areas
Me (All) - I love you [Jerk's name]
{jerk} - and good luck when your guildies read on guru why they cant get in
{jerk} - in the future, you shopuld watch who you try to RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO, could RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO your whole guild like you just did
Me (All) - Giving away 50 orbs to the first 4 to open a trade window - courtesy of [Jerk name]'s graciousness
Other9 (All) - lol monkey
Me (All) - I'm standing by the 9 ring game
Me (All) - [Jerk name] so kindly gave me her spot, so I'm feeling gracious too
Me (All) - I think we should have a festival in honor of [Jerk name]
{jerk} - cant wait till mike and tim get on so they can spread the word through thier alliances to ban your guild

Unfortunately, I didn't get screenshots of EVERYTHING, because at first I was only capturing the language at the beginning. I didn't think to share the entire history, although I wish I could. I promise you I made some "Can't we all just get along" comments. When jerk started talking about my guild, I mentioned it to them, and a couple came to "visit" to enjoy the conversation, followed by some pointing and laughing emotes. Notice I didn't say word #1 until the prizes stopped dropping and Jerk mentioned the comment about the elite missions.

After jerk apparently left, I had a little more fun with my offer of 50 jade orbs to the first 4 to open a trade window. I requested that each of them thank Jerk for the generosity with a whisper, and mention my name.

Now, don't get me wrong, you guys don't know me, but ingame, I am almost ALWAYS very nice and considerate and helpful. But when I have the opportunity to play with a jerk like this, well, I just can't pass that up.

LOL I'm in GoD and our alliance (oOo) controls HzH.We taxi ANYONE for free and we havn't heard of this jerk in our life.We only don't taxi some people.Eg.[WHOA],When WHOA Owned HzH they didn't want to taxi people so they could raise the price of Urgoz bows.We also don't taxi some of the people who left our alliance such as [DR] (Drunken Rangers).But apart from that anyone is welcome !!

nah because I would be like hey here is a great link to help ya and better then I could probably explain it so here ya go and then give them the link. Seriously if they going to complain about that then I wonder what the hell they are even doing playing a rpg which is based on finding out things, exploring and such. But I guess thats me since everytime something new happens instead of spaming what is going on I usually look on guru anyways and the answer is usually there in some form or an other or on the guildwars site itself. If I really wanted to I could not help at all so they should be happy that they got any help at all when they are being lazy. And yes if its a short answer then I will type it out. BUt if you look at my two examples one is two quests actually where you have to do multiple things and the other I wouldnt even begin to type out lol for the armor. If they think I am a jerk for giving them a link to help them out that would be great to bookmark not my problem again but their lazyiness to type it in.

For some people asking multiple questions I just give them a link on my ftp to my ziped favourites folder for GW and for people asking for builds they get a link to a html on my ftp. Its not like I dont help but I figure if I give you a link that explains it very well then use it and dont whine. Better then me going hey noob go look it up. If people really want me to start doing that instead of giving links be more then happy too :P j/k

More then happy to help those that help themselves.

Just met two new jerks...

I was in Aspenwood, luxon side.

So I get into the game, and we soon realize we have two leechers.

But instead of doing as if they were afk, they shouted stupid things in local chat.

-SO A HIPPO GETS INTO A BAR.
- LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
- LOLOLOLLOLOLOLLOLLOLLOL
- 9864 FACTION !

And so on, they spammed the local chat like idiots, while leeching.

I'm sorry for my other teamates, but I refused to raise their faction for them any longer. So I left the game and put them in my ignore list.

Goddamn jerks... -_-

Zinger314 · Jul 07, 2006, 01:19 AM // 01:19

So, I'm in RA. The Monk keeps pestering that he needed the 10 in a row for the Gladiator Title, and kept critizing us whenever we did something wrong. Somehow, we get 10 wins in a row. After the Monk says "I'm a Gladiator, fools," that kinda jerked my chain.

While that's jerky enough, the team had...quite funny responses.

After we get massacred in the Team Arenas by an all Mesmer Group:

Now, I'm just going to sit alone and eat some WTF Bacon.

This is a 'play by play' of one of my most recent jerk confrontations.

Mrs. Christ= My Monk

Jerk= Jerk (Also party leader)

Jerk 2= 2nd Jerk

IB= Innocent bystander

I was looking for a party for Mayhem in Market and I got an invite from a 7/8 group containing 0 monks and 4 N/Mo

Mrs Christ: How many of you N/Mos are MM?

Jerk- Me

Jerk 2- Me

IB- Me

Mrs Christ: This probobly isn't going to work, you've got 3 MM and one monk. I suggest dropping one or two MM to get one or two more monks, I won't be able to heal all of you.

Jerk- were fine

He then leaves

*In middle of battle*

Jerk 1&2: My health is ____ out of _____! (Spammed)

Mrs Christ: My energy is 2 out of 45

IB: she doesn't have enough energy guys

Jerk: fing monk cant heal your stupid

Jerk 2: STOP TAKING MY MINIONS

Jerk: DONT BLAME ME BLAME MONK

Jerk 2: gay a$$ munk

Both of them leave.

Theres also cases where I have been asked to heal somebody 1st. I then refuse to heal them.

I don't find any big jerks and the big jerks I do find I forget about and go on in life.
