a little garamar check on the title...
my reasons for hating him are:
1: Looks kind of... dumb?
2: He's a bit over-zealous[if I'm using that word right]
3: He wants to raise a pint of dwarven ale to me
4: He takes credit from other people at certain points
5: He get's killed by a ele with a axe
6: His voice! it burns!
7: He can't kill a monk alone
8: He doesn't stay dead
9: He has a generally bad elite cap
10:He kind of scares me
11:He's kind of a jerk to his dad
12:He agros EVERYTHING, even chuck norris
13:Even after he's been striped of his title/position, he thinks he can still boss you around

ummm..because we can? lol. It's kinda just one of those things...You either really do hate him for something he did to you character or you just love mocking him.

I dislike Rurik because, judging from my pick-up-group experience, many warriors play their characters in a similar fashion, and seem to believe Rurik is an example of how the class should be played.

It's true that there are better elites out there, though. But a majority of them are for axes and hammers, which I seldom use

aaah..he's ok, albeit a little irritating 
majoho
Because he acts like a noob wammo.
Shadowfox1125
Oh, because he wants to save his people by sacrificing himself--you know, that cheesy heroic crap.

Ummm, because he's a traitor, an idiot and a scaredy-runaway ?
thelessa
He is forever running into danger and if you do not watch him, he will die and then you have to do the mission again! :/
Evilsod
Watch him during the Nolani mission. Kill everything that attacks except 2 Charr Hunters(or is it Stalkers). I went away, explored a load of the map, came back and he was STILL fighting them. Why? Everytime he got near 1 he ran off because of Ignite Arrows!

EDIT: Funnily enough, that's also why I want him as a minipet.

You didn't read the For Ascalon and Oink comics, then you would have known.
Aerian_Skybane

"WHOS WITH ME" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I hate Rurik because he is almost everything what n00b warriors are. Using fire dragon sword, running far front from the party aggroing everything alone and others have to babysit him because if he die, mission is failed. Only mending is missing.
Well, fire dragon sword is a good sword in some cases but if some get it because it looks cool and think it is godly sword, then the wielder has no clue.

I hate ALL henchies becuse they aggro everything.
I acctually Like Rurik. His father seems to be the one who is the psycho. The fact that he stood up to him because he acctually (gasp!) cares about his people! is what made him cool to me.

Riken Chrono

leon fire storm

Buns United
Gotta blame someone for the Charr invasion.. 
But seriously, apart from his (wannabe) heroic behavior, he is actually usefull in some missions.
Vote 'Yes' for Bunnies© as Pets!
[PS. Too bad I don't remember in which missions he had any use, I even did whole ascalon -> northern shiverpeaks yesterday with new character]

I've always liked Rurik.
Sure it's a pain to keep him alive in some missions, but I also think it is kind of fun to try.
And I love all his charging into battle sayings, "For Ascalon!"
And if Rurik hadn't been so heroic and disobayed his father we all would never have made it to Kryta .

I love one of his special skills: Knock
but indeed, he's sucks 99% of the time

He goes charging off fighting everything in site, but then he waits at the drawbridge and tells YOU to go around and open it while he rests onhis butt.

I do not hate him, I do dislike him a whole bunch! Reason, I just did Surmia mission with my new monk. What's Rurick do!? Gets stuck on a chest in the area where the mages come from prior to the doors where he must say his spew. Re-start mission (BTW I cleared the map before leaving to try and un stick him). Not that big a deal you say? Probably not except for the next mission right after is Nolani. Guess who finds another chest to get stuck on!! Twice in a row (not counting the repeated Surmia mission) this fool finds a chest to get stuck on!!! Good thing that Nolani can be finished without him there fighting.

He's King of the Wammo...there teacher, lord and master...
He's teaches the Wammo to aggro every enemy and to run into battle with out thinking....And to play total f- ed up...

Rurik does not delegate, that's why I hate him.
I, Rurik, cannot trust you to complete this mission on your own.
So Therefore I, Prince Rurik of Ascalon, shall run out in front and aggro everything I see. "For Ascalon"!!!
Lets face it if he could delegate he would still be alive when we got to kryta...
Oh wait if Rurik lived throught the whole game... scary.

D.A.N.
I think the real question is why might people like Rurik. =P
I don't have a problem with Rurik's character, but when he's in your party he does make things aggravating.

the guy that you help find his girl friend with for the first cathan attribute point quest kind of reminds me of rurik, but he uses a axe and is level 20, fine for rushing level 8s

RURIK Pwns the living daylight out of EVERYTHING
Just because you can't be as cool as him doesn't mean you have to hate him!!
Just look at the guy, cool beard, his helmet could use an upgrade but it looks waaaaay better than the default warrior buckets.
He has the best cape in all of GW. Nobody else has a cap that long and cool with such an interesting emblem.
This guy, although he is dumb and doesn't listen to his father, tries to save the people of ascalon, tries to do everything he can to save the entire world!!!!
He's like a local superhero.
I'm starting the Rurik fanclub, right here, right now.
RURIK FTW!!!!
