Many has seen it. Many has endured it. If you haven't, you either just started playing Guild Wars or you do everything with hero/henchmen, but it is simple.
People who think they're better than you, and "nicely" inform you how to play the game, beat a mission/dungeon, or just flat out want to ruin your experience playing the game.
So I ask: How do YOU deal with these kind of people?

Much better solution then responding with equally immature insults.

Some people do suck though, nothing wrong with offering them some advice.
cosyfiep
ignore them, if they die, dont rez them....if the party wipes blame them.....
otherwise just dont party with them to begin with (you can get some idea about a pug when you join them, unless you are the last monk added---)

I just develope a low opinion of the person, finish whatever it is we're doing, and leave the party when done. For egomaniacs in town, Ignore list is where they end up.
I won't turn off local chat because of some of things that get said in local. That's letting the jerks win. I use the ignore list for potty-mouths and other such annoying people that happen to be in the same place I am. It starts getting full, I clean it out.

I make them cry/rage the game. Especially if we're chatting/cursing at each other in vent.

I ignore them, but eventually after seeing so many mending wammos, fire storm rangerg, MM eles and hammer monks. You become one such person ^^.
Mortal Amongst Mere Gods
Actually, no one treats me like that. I've been playing since summer 2005, don't need much advice.
I actually flaunt my knowledge of the game sometimes (though not rudely) and tell people what I think of their build/strategy. That's not to say I'm some sort of lifeless uber-1337 guy that knows the game inside, around, and outside, though. I'm not perfect, just good.

Meh, I tend to best them on an intellectual level and confuse them...
If in their party... Try to get them killed...
If in their guild... leave guild...
If retorts dont work or they are just dense... ignore...
All else fails? Report to PlayNC for spamming and harrassment.
4 strikes your out.

There's always the person who think she's better than everyone, but there's also the person who sucks ass and looks at genuine help as being condescending.
If you don't want to deal with it, don't PUG.

Generally, I simply roll with it, since they are presumably the party leader. As long as they arent outright rude, I let them organize it the way they want, since I'm willing to try any reasonable approach. I'll coordinate with the other monk to figure out our builds and let the rest fall as it may. There's a fine line between egotistical and outright being rude.
Half the problem in PUGs is people not willing to set aside their egos. There's always more than one way to tackle a mission or an area. Most PUGs fail when others in the party refuse to work with the leader etc and actually try it their way. Granted, if the player organizing the party is over the top in terms of rudeness, and the other monk is refusing to ping their build so I can compliment them in terms of how to set my build up, its usually a good sign to politely bow out before the party enters the area. Find another.
I almost always have a good PUG experience when I PUG. The key is being open to input from other players, despite your also knowing well enough how you'd approach the problem, and then using your experience to work with it. Just avoid the excessively rude leaders and parties where arguments start even before you leave. There will always be someone with a high ego, but just let it go most times.

doesn't help when they invade your guild and alliance. T_T My guildless ass has everything turned off except local and I'm only in towns about 3% of the time I play and they are usually pretty dead

It depends how they offer advice. I could have just abused the mentality of the mending paragon I saw last night... or the fact that a dervish refused to use Junundu Wail when they had 100 health after I explained what it did and how to use it... or the assassin who charged into the sulfurus wastes without being in a Junundu.... or....
Pyro maniac
they're sometimes right tho
Alot of people fail at the game and there's nothing wrong with telling them how they could play better.
Some smartasses like to flame everyone who is 'dumber then them', while they are just copying pvx builds themselves. Ignore them

I am that person, I'll tell you what to bring, what to do, when to breath & when not to. And if you don't want to hear that, you can take another pug and fail.
Seriously though, when pugging you need 1 that acts like a leader. Calls targets, shows you where to go, and what aprox build to take. That's why I Love my hero's they allways take orders (most of the times anyways ^^).

I usually start a thread on forums about this hellish injustice and slit my wrists in despair!
I hardly PUG, and my alliance is used to me going nuts occasionally. :>

I usually avoid posting on Guild Wars Guru forums, where many of these egotistical players like to scream "OMG N00B USE THE S34RCH FUNCTI0N!!~" or "u r stupid /thread" to ANY of your suggestions/ideas.

Since I'm better than everybody, I've never encountered this.
Looks like people know better than to tell me how2play.

I have seen plenty of bad players, the worst part is when they bring heroes and you think ok that'll be good.
Until you see their mo/n has like 2 heals, heal other and heal party. Along with Offering of Blood and some blood attacks.
Usually I just go back to town and leave them there. If I am in a nice mood I will offer advice but usually you just ignore them.

I'm probably one of those "egotistical" people you are talking about. With that said, the only reason why I may act egotistical with you is because you are arguing with me when I am far superior to you. If you just do what I say without arguing through your ignorance than my condescending comments would be avoided.
Basically what I am trying to say is, if you stop being bad, you no longer have to deal with egotistical people, because you are better than them and they will either be forced to put up or shut up.

I've never really had a bad experience with that sort of player.
But I'd just set them to ignore and as soon as we got back to town, bail.

Threads like this, and people still wonder why Anet gave us heroes.

I ignore them.
If they ask me to change builds, I change them, ping them, and go back to the build I want.
At all times my build works better than the stupid things they pretend me to use.
Then they never notice, because my builds are better than the ones they gave me, XD.
Sometimes, after that, they tell me 'Told you mine was better'.
I don't know why they get so angry when I ping my build then, XD.
Hey, if the monster dies in 3 seconds and after than I keep 95% energy, who cares which build I used?

3 options in dealing with egotistical people in-game:
1. Don't PUG
2. Ignore
3. Leave Party
1 option in dealing with egotistical posters (usually PvP jackasses who hate on PvErs) on guru:
Flame them.

4. Screw with 'em.
When I get guys who like to be the law, I just willfully comply, and then in mission I'll make all the 'mistakes'. Usually sends them into 'u noob' fits. Of course I'll just start berating their leadership in CAPS. Good times
