Hey GW community....
Well...I finally got a group that was willing to farm the Queen...but get this...
A guy by the name of "name omitted" was the only guy left alive. A GOLD SWORD had been dropped by a Scarab, reserved for me. Guess what....he refused to rez me so that HE could get the sword.
How do I report such players?? And wtf is up with this game???? Is there THAT many a-holes that you can't even trust anyone anymore!???
Sigh...I'm extremely pissed off right now....
Report a player....

There is nothing to report. Yeah the guy was an asshole but he didn't break any rules.

Edit your original post and take out their name. You are not allowed to post it.
Also, there's very little you can do about it. Yes, the guy was a jerk, but he didn't technically break any rules. Support will probably not do anything about it. (Unless you get real creative on what you're telling them.)

Yes he didn't technically break any rules, but it's against the spirit of the game -- like the lamers dancing on the Mad King with their disco balls covering his head, or people asking Gaile if she likes pie over and over. It might be impossible for Anet to investigate this, but if they can, people like these should have action taken against them.

unless you can get in a guild of only people you were IRL friends with before this game came out, i'd say you can't 100% trust really anyone. It's really the difference, though, of being in one you can trust 90%, 99%, or 99.9%
bart
if ppl got banned for asking somebody whether she likes pie then i think the guy should get a warning for unsporting behaviour

Thanks everyone for the input.
I'm deeply sorry for posting the player's name...I didn't know the rules regarding such actions (I'm a boon).
I was excited that a gold weapon dropped for me, particularly since that is fairly rare with the Queen Farm. At any rate, I grabbed a couple of henchies and completed the farming....with nothing really to show for it. Ugh...I'll do it again tomorrow and maybe my luck will be better.
Again...thanks everyone for the input...it's greatly appreciated.

One thing: If a scarabe dropped the gold sword, most likely it wasn't something special. And WHAT ELSE do you expect from a PUG group>? although still there is and never has been any rules on farming or stealing items which are not in the possession of the person in the start.

Makes me glad that our guild has rules, regulations and prescreening to keep those kinds of turds out of the guild. Its not fool proof but it works 98% of the time.

You're missing the bigger point...
I'm fairly new at this game, so I didn't realize that such things happened in this environment. It was a learning experience, but for you to assume I know what was going to happen (or could happen) doesn't exactly help the situation.
It wasn't about the sword, or it's value (however, gold drops tend to be more 'valuable' than any other drops)....it's the simple fact that someone would stoop low enough to wait out the alloted time and grab a weapon that wasn't designated to them.

It's simply a fast you should try to live with. EVERY MMORPG has gold farmers, spawn farmers, leechers, and stupid PUGs. Although I AM NOT SAYING PUGS ARE STUPID, just saying some stupid people are PUGs. I am a PUG in many PvE areas, although I usually start groups, since I just know the right build for the area.
JUST IN CASE YOU REALLLY WANT TO REPORT SOMEONE, DO NOT USE SUPPORT.

My simple suggestion:
Put the guy in your friends list and continually spam whisp him with inane comments such as:
How is my sword going?
Stolen anybody else's sword lately?
When can you return my sword to me?
I have found a better sword, thank you!
Remember me, I was the donor of your sword!
Etc Etc
How to p155 people off in one easy lesson!

Can't they just ignore you (put you on ignore list), but those comments made me laugh out loud.

I had a guy do this to me in Underworld over a SILVER DYE. I mean maybe I coulda understood if it was an ecto but, lol...a silver dye. I laughed at him and told him to enjoy it and just left.

You harassing him isn't going to change anything. I doubt he'll do anything but curse you out then put you on ignore. And if he's really a sad s.o.b. he'll probably get his guildies/friends to start messaging you back.
Just take it as an experience learned and move on. Don't let it control or spoil your outlook on the game.

People do that sort of thing all the time, it's why I play with Heros, Henchmen, and/or my boyfriend-and-roommate only.
Reporting won't do any good though, even if it were a rule violation they wouldn't do anything about it.
I've reported people for vulgar character names, racist and/or prejudice attacks on myself or others done in public chat, and other such things. I've added them to my friendslist and watched as the player is online for hours each day, for weeks after the reports were sent and I got the generic automated message of "We'll look into it, don't call us, we won't call you." back in response. So it's obvious they aren't banning these people, or even giving them a temporary suspension... so what's the use of wasting your time filling out the reports?
If the report system actually worked, there wouldn't be so many homophobes/racists/bigots in every crowded district, bashing on people because they think they are somehow better than everyone else.

You can complain to support till the cows come home on this one but it is a Non Issue. The person is not very nice but he did nothing wrong and didn't break any EULA rules. If you wanted to keep your Drops it is your fault you didn't get it because if you would have stayed alive in the first place you would have been able to pick it up. If i see a Very good item drop for me I make it a priority to pick it up as soon as I can... Or make sure I stay alive to pick it up. If the Item dropped for you while you were dead then you got lucky and it really should have gone to the person who did the killing anyways.

This permits assholes like this to do what they want when they want, keeps the victims from submitting complaints, AND makes everyone just accept when they get fracked over by pathetic piss-ant mops like this mother f cker.
I'm sorry. That's just wrong. If this is really how ANet responds to such things, I am disgusted. Someone tell me this is not true. I really need to hear this right now. Preferably by someone from ANet.

Know why? Everything he did was well within the law, even if it was crappy human behaviour. The one thing you did, well, was against the law, even if it was deserved revenge. Unfortunately, waiting for the drop timer without ressing the person it was assigned to is well within "the law" of GW, spamming and harrassment is not.

Unfortuneatly, you speak much truth, arcanemacabre. However, I am very upset with the current stance ANet has when it comes to individuals such as this. I realize nothing can be done about it, but it just really pisses me off.
To the OP: What the dipshit did might have been "legal" to ANet, and they can turn their heads the other way and pretend like you're in the wrong, but if I ever see the little piece of shit in game, I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure he's very uncomfortable.

No one ever said revenge was illegal. So, ya know, as long as you keep it within the "laws", have fun!

I something similar happen to me. Oh, you should've seen me preparing my torches and pitchforks, ready to pitch the biggest fit. Luckily, I got on IRC and saw that oh, hey, he's HERE, he's an op, and thusly a member of --site name withheld-- staff! Then I notified him that I had screen shots of him stealing of my loot, telling me to visit his website, and the subsequent 4-hour DoS that I received. All for a req11 shadow blade, at that. I got my sword back.

PUG's suck, true, but most people aren't in a decent guild...I've been playing since the game came out and I still haven't found one...PUG's are my only option...

Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it!!!
My suggestion is to join a guild with friendly players, otherwise deal with the trash, or don't get killed.
By the way, if the rolls were reversed, would you have rezed him?
