A group of naughty individuals

Howdy all,

I really hate when stuff like this happens, so since these people like to act this way I shall try my best to inform people of thier actions, so they have no one else to play with and burn, but themselves.

The following people:

**** Have been edited out by me, Magister, in wishes with the boards rules, if you wish to have these peoples names, feel free to contact me personally and I'll give them to you. Also as suggested a report with Anet was filed ****

All belong to the same guild. They were groupped with a good friend and guildmate of mine today, a very nice monk who is probably one of the best monks in the game by anyones standards, was helping them farm in sorrows.

Well, she hit abit of misfortune and happened to die (I was actually shocked to hear she died!), anyways, on the ground, was not one, but TWO green items in her name.

Her party thought it would be a good idea if they left her there to rot as they waited for the items to become available and thus pinch the items on her, then they rez'd her, tried to lie about it (screenshots were taken!), and wanted her to continue on like nothing had happened!.

Nevertheless, people like this are a scourge in online gamming as far as I am concerned. We play online to play with people that share a similiar intrest, in what should be, a fun past-time. Things like this only serve to ruin that experience.

If anyone should know these people, and the guild they are in, I would apperciate a PM with the guild leaders name so I might have a chat with them concerning thier members conduct.

Magister.

(P.s. sorry if this is the wrong section, wasnt sure exactly where to post something of this nature!, but I felt, people should be warned about lamers like these).

I know this is in good intentions, but GWG is agianst naming names. Thanks for the heads up though!

Sounds like a bunch of assholes to me. Its really gay how people do that, Guild groups sound like a winner..

Alright, I shall edit the names ... I do have screenshots to prove it, (or rather my friend does). I mean people like this should be brought out into the light, anti-naming policies only serves to protect people like this.

I would be MORE than happy to send any of them a tell in the game posting the link to this, so they might come in and prattle on about how they "did nothing wrong", despite the screen shot evidence.

But really, I didnt mean this to be a giant flame thread, simply a way to inform the general public that people like this are out there and should be avoided.

Happened to me in the UW too but it was a monk there who was the sole survivor for a party of 8 who decided to loot first and then see about ressing us. We spared him the trouble and just left, he's on my list now so I can make sure I'll never team up with him ever again.

Yeah that sucks, but it's something you have to deal with. Some people are just asshats, like the trade window scammers. I had one try that on me. He tried to pay 4 gold instead of 4k.

I thought it was bad when my team got deliberately zoned when a green dropped for me but this just makes me so mad.

I feel sad for this monk since monks have a rough ride on the best of days.

One philosophy that i live by and which i have 100% faith in is "what goes around, comes around".

ArenaNet, if you do read what the OP has said here, you would be wise to take some form of action against this cancer which is rife in your game.
Auto loot collection upon death and a two day suspension for these foul excuses for humans would be an appropriate course of action.

Scum...absolute scum.

Auto loot collection upon death,huh? Sounds like a great idea to me. Will a menu pop up like after mission loot collection? That will be cool.

/signed in oh so many ways

Disgusting how far virtual greed can go. Some people take all their failures into a game while it's meant to relax and enjoy. Scum indeed...

Some people are idiots, I have had that happen to me but was before greens, Had a gold max Runic hammer drop and no one would res me until they could pick it up.

I have had black dye drop for me that I did not see, and one player fall back said he was afk for bathroom break when is was just waiting to pick up the dye, then had the nerve to brag about it and type ROFL haha crap to me. I have even had people sit down on my drops trying to hide them so they could pick them up. I have had people try to pawn off mursat tokens for ecto, try to offer gold when should be plat, start teams in TOA collect money from everyone then leave.

With no real admin on the servers people can get away with pretty much anything so you have to protect your own butt when you can.

Electric_Jester,

You might not be able to post names but I bet the admin here would not be opposed to some incriminating screen shots that just happen to show the players names.

I agree with the auto loot collection on death, that would be a great solution to this sort of problem. I, however, disagree with the two day ban. They knew what they were doing is wrong, and thus should pay worse than a two day ban as the consequences. Two days isn't really that long to go without playing a game, so i would suggest increasing it to a 1 week, or even 10 day ban.

I would love to know who these people are, so that i would be able to make sure that i never got into a group with one of them.

That title turned me on 4 a sec there
anyways, ppl like these r very annoying... happened 2 me once, in UW over a shard, the guy was so desperate over 3k, he didnt rez any1 and 4got about the ghost.... pathetic really

This happened to me also in Sorrow's. I was stunned to watch them all pick up the loot while I lay there dead after I busted my ass keeping them alive over own self. I just warped out of there and left them on their own.

Ick, glad I have never come across people like that.

Why Guild Wars even has a time limit on dropped items is beyond me. Imo if an item drops for one person, it should remain that way until that member leaves the party. Also, when zoning into a new area, any coloured drops should be put into a collection window similar to the end of missions.

I couldn't agree more, its funny however running about after a farming session collecting all the timed out drops.

But you are right that items should never ever time out.

I agree as long as they are in the party, but if they leave the party it should be up for grabs.

i had a max req 9 rare storm bow drop when i died, good thing my group was nice and rezed me

Couldn't the "good friend" rez or take the items instead to give to said monk? If it's someone I know, I'd camp their item as well to keep any others from stealing it.

You know, every time I read about people waiting to rez so they get the items...

I start to, OK THATS IT SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE!

*Grabs a security guard's fire arm*

*Gets dragged out of the room*

+Yelling in the distance+ "Hey! you are that guy that stole a shield!" "GRAB HIM!" "I'm going to get you for that!" BAM! "He missed, get him" BONK(Baton in the back of the head)

*Security gaurds come back in the room*

"You know, why didnt we arrest the guy that stole something?"

"If it was against the law to steal, we wouldnt have made the 5 minute rule."

"Heh true"

*Wasp slips back in the room with a gun*

"Hey that was my gun!"

Wasp: "5 minute rule, its up for grabs now"

(In summary - I stopped going with pick up groups, Its either henchmen, guild, freinds, or friend's guild)
