Crazy 12 yr olds?? share your stories

Yeah, how many times do I say that in guild chat whenever I PUG?

And it happened again, I can't escape it and I saw it coming.

First off, I joined a 7/8 team. Our last guy had been gone crafting a cons set for a while when I joined; I think 10 or 15 minutes passed before he came back... starting from the moment I entered the team.

A bit before entry, a guy said he had to "brb 1 min". I think you guys see it coming too. 5 minutes in UW... not back. 10 minutes... "why isn't he back yet?" 15 minutes: "okay he's a leecher". By the 20 mark no one cares anymore.

The group isn't so exp, except the terra, but some of the ursans actually listen fairly well. One of our monks is running 2 15/-1 sets and has energy problems (the SB) but I have no problems with the other HB - it's with the ursans I have a problem with. NO ONE takes up leading, except every now and then a guy pulls back to us monks when the ursans should be rushing in, and another one rushes when we should be pulling.

We wiped at around 35 minutes in (not 25 - we had used a cons set... yeah they're not very fast and we have a leecher); we were on our way to chaos planes after doing a couple quests. No one is taking lead, so I am - this pretty much bit me in the ass though. I run, past the obsidian behemoths like I usually do, then I see the charged blacknesses. I turn back... but not my ursans, who all walked into traps and get killed by chargeds.

One guy escapes... the wrong way. He got killed by chargeds as well.

We wipe, no one is mad - not even me - but then I see the leecher... moving. So all this time he HAD been leeching, probably sitting at his screen WATCHING US since at the MOMENT we spawned in ToA he started moving. Being annoyed (I hate leechers, if you can't work for your stuff don't bother playing this game, 'cause I'm not doing it for you), I said something like "nice to see we had a leacher in our team".

Called me childish for the next part, but the ending is personally rewarding: I have the guy targeted and I see him moving. I click on storage (lose current target) and I see his name being dark blue - he's now in a team. "Hey, whoever has <name> in your team, good luck. He just leeched our run." Click merchant, click the guy again... he's now teamless.

I grinned IRL.

Leechers in FoW/UW are horrible agreed.

I ended up in two UW teams yesterday where people tried the teleporting till the drops are unclaimed. With little success to say but it was annoying as hell.

There is build on PvXwiki... not sure is it same but it does maybe even faster.

On-topic: Both my stories happen at mission. I was searching group at Moddok Crevice Nm. There is one idiot dervish...

Me: Ping builds pls
Derv: WHY YOU WANT TO KNOW MY BUILD?!11!!
Me: To check that you ain't idiot/n00b/other
Derv: My build does more damage than yours!!!
Me: Ofc, I'm monk.
Derv: Monk?
*I leave*

Second, it was same mission on HM. And again dervish (not same)

Me: Can you take YMLD?
Derv: NO! I use avatar of melandru
Me: so?
Derv: I can't take it, noob
Me: Why?
Derv: I'm dervish
Me: and?
Derv: OMFGF!!!!! What idiot! Im dervish so i cant take it !!!
Me: That skill is available for all..
Derv: It's EotN skill and IM dervish.
Me:AND!?
Derv: I can't go there, since i ain't tyrian
*leaves*

I dont think ive had a overly bad experince with pugging, if you pug you come to expect that its not going to be perfect.

I play my monk rarely and i can only think of a couple of times when playing one when having a overly ambitions wammo and a agro friendly ele saying something along the lines of

'guys if you keep running off or over agroing i wont heal you'

simple as that...

lol, glad you got him back. Just curious, did his name start with Bob....? I've had problems in the past in TOA with a leech by that name.

Nope, unless it's another of his characters. Could track him down with the f-list though.

Hell I wish I could post names sometimes. I won't post the FULL name, but only three letters too: Hun... I have the guy in my f-list ATM, gonna watch if he switches to a Bob, just for the heck of it.

Oh BTW this doesn't work in 90% of the cases. They still aggro and go "if u cant keep up wif me u suck, nub". Or worse; doing it more so they piss you off.

OOOH I just remembered another story. I'm about to make a journal out of those failures...

A buddy (MrSlayer) and I are doing a spider run for some random ranger. He asks if we can get him an elder one, so we explain him that the spawns are random and that's something we can't do anything about. If he really wants an elder, we're ready to do the next run(s) at a lower price - we offer 7k each for the initial run, and 6k per next runs. Guy agrees, buddy checks on cash; he's got it, we're good to go.

We do the run - the guy is very cooperative and chats with us despite his poor English. When we complete the quest, we use the reaper to get him to us. It's a hearty spider, but he's willing to take it anyways, as he's charming it. He then walks to MrSlayer... and logs off. Well that's what I see on my screen.

Over vent:
Me: Did he pay you? 'Cause he didn't pay me...
MrSlayer: ... He just logged. He put 7k in trade and logged.
Both: .... bastard, ****ing scammer, add other insults.

Probably not the same guy. I had "Bob" in my friends list for awhile as well and I saw him on many different characters but they all had a variation of the bob word in it. (Bob was not the full word)

I mentioned him because I got the impression that he was a "professional leecher" if such a thing is possible. He joined us on a FOW run and actually participated until we cleared the way to the forge. When we started down the hill to pick up the shard wolf quest he ran to the edge of the spider cave and stayed there. At that point he said "brb 1 min". We completed the spider cave and waited around a bit for him to return. He didn't and we moved on.

As we were clearing we were also discussing returning and luring some pop-ups over to kill him, but we discovered later that as soon as we moved off radar range he moved to the forgemaster and stayed there. We were unable to kill him since there were no enemies in the forge. He was also whispering to us taunting us that we couldn't kill him.


That's the only time I've encountered a leech though in FOW. Most of my bad pugs have been simple unprepared players.
- Leader zones in before everyone's ready. Monk's bar isn't set. Ranger didn't buy keys and leaves.
- No one bothers to check skillbars and 10 minutes later we discover our W/E brought Endure Pain and 7 PBAoE fire skills.
- little kiddies that inevitably ask "how long is this gonna take???" after we finish The Tower of Courage. "Well mommy says i haveto get off the computer in 5 min"
- No patience. A wammo overaggros. 2 people die and the monk rages. "WHATT???? I'M NOT PLAYING WITH NOOBS!!! BYE!!!!" 3 more people leave because one of the monks left and it's obviously hopeless now. The 4 remaining players quickly fall apart because of too many quitters and it's over.

Ouch... My point is that its easy and fun I'm not trying to brag... still, that insult was unnecessary . Anyways, I got another story.

*Right outside Beacons getting a run to droks*

I (Monk) was waiting at the entrance with one other monk.
Me whispering runner: BRB, I'm getting a Fanta.
Runner: No AFK
Me: It will take 1 minute
Runner: Ok, hurry
(I didn't want to think that the other people could go AFK)
*I went to get the Fanta and when I came back, I realized I am close to the ice imps and by the time I sat down they got into my aggro I ran. The other monk however wasn't paying attention. He going all of the blast from the ice imps and I am safe. He tries to run with the slow. He dies.*
Monk: WTF u noob!
Me: My bad
MonK: WTF all of that work, wasted!
Me: Ur getting surviver?
Monk: gg
Me: Sorry, I wasn't paying attention
Monk: Omg, I was 1/2 way to rank 2
Me: I'm very sorry, I tried to heal u
Monk: omg, why did you do that?
Me: I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention
Monk: Yeah right
Me: Sorry, there was nothing that I could do. S*** happens, sorry, something similar happened to me.
Monk: yeah right
Me: Besides, you would have died anyway in 2nd zone. (This is the 12 year old part, not blaming me for my mistakes. Plus I was wrong about dieing in 2nd zone. I did a 12 year old thing at 17. Happens to all)
*I go on explaining that my sin was 100,000 exp from rank 2. My guildy dies while farming trolls and the trolls came after me and I lost surviver etc. The monk doesn't seem to listen. I was trying to comfort.*

In the end: The conversation lasts the entire run. (Mainly, the U will die in 2nd Zone, I can't believe that I backed that up.) I still feel bad to this day, could of, would of, should of. Thats all I could do, reflect. If the monk is reading this now... sorry. (I was the noob.)

I was in Gates of Kryta
Me: Warrior
(Note, Factions just came out, I got factions 2 months after it's release. Also, you didn't have load/save. They showed the skills just by words. They recently did the necromancer update. (Limit: 10 minions))

This Ele Pinged his/her bar. He/she is an ice ele.
The monk Pinged his/her bar. He/she is a protect monk

Me: Can you go fire ele?
Ele: No, ice is good
Me: Ice sucks compared to fire
Monk: No it doesn't
Me: Says the protect monk
Monk: What is that suppose to mean?
Me: Can you go healer?
Monk: Yes, but I don't have the runes.
Me:That would do, ele go fire
Ele: No, this build is good
Me: No it's not, ice is worse that earth
*The ele and monk left. I whispered them both Noob*
I did my fair share of 12 yr old stuff in the past.
1) I didn't blame me for my mistake
2) I wanted people to play the way I want them to play
3) I called people noobs

Find a good buddy to play with and use your Heros! Two people and 6 Heros are pretty good most any where.

well least it takes a mature person to admit mistakes fluffy

Thread is still going ..sweet

Fun and painful reading all the stories keep em coming....

I was doing Moddok Crevice NM (last one for elonian protector title) with a pug, and we were doing ok, they were a bit n00bish, but I had been going at the mission several times and was leading the way, when the paragon goes something like "you all don't have a clue, you're all going to fail" and promptly ragequitted just before the runners. We then managed to do the last suggestion and get masters.

The group were going back to the mission town to see if they were still LFG-ing, but i decided to go to HOM to put the title up instead.

I dont think its so much 12 year olds that are annoying,

I think its people that you dont know, meet in pugs or running groups, that try and tell you how to play when they are actually really, really bad.

Like the person telling me I should be using Radient Insignia on all my armor and that I need to kill myself to stop the runner lagging. When I said 'no, im going for survivor, sorry' they then tryed to lure as much crap onto me as they could. When they died trying to lure them to me they decided to put me on ignore and send me loads of abuse.

I lol'ed and they rage quit the run.

I don't think you should just say its 12 year olds.... I mean i only just turned 14

And I would say I'm somewhat mature.

the other day I was just doing my normal thing monking in RA.....

I got a group

at our 3rd or so fight.

our Sin and Rit where at one side of the map and our Necro goes all the way to the other side

Necro; Omg noob monk cant even heal me

me; how the hell am i suppose to heal you if you run off to the other side of the map??

Necro; I was cripple so i had to run away from you
necro; stupid noob


me; Ohh.. im a noob. I think a Necro with Flesh golem and MM only skills in RA is kinda noobie dont you think??


necro *flames at me more**


Me; * has left the game"

Another time I was in RA and a mellee char was trying to attack me, a monk

I kept running, use return

Him; Noob monk he keeps running away

me; wtf im a monk of course im gonna run

my object is to keep myself and my party ALIVE so im not gonna let you kill me

him; Noob

cant remember the rest

In RA a few million times on my sin, somehow I'm noob for kill them too fast, or if I don't attack because I have anti-melee hexes/blind on me. After they die they call me noob and somehow its usually the monk.

I love this thread. Entertainment from seeing what others go through... and tell myself that I'm not the only one getting idiots in teams.

Here goes what I have for today:

UW run, speed clear. We're having problems, our terras kept dying at bad spots, then the perma-sins, and given others are in their mobs and can't be teleported... well we have to leave OUR spots and res. We're on our 2nd cons set and the group is annoyed.

While we went to res one of the terras, who was clearing planes, one of the monks hit traps by mistake. The other monk didn't stop to heal and we saw him degen, and degen... he lived through, but still. You see someone in trouble not too far from you, you heal. No?

Monk 1: Dude why didn't heal me?
Monk 2: no response whatsoever
Monk 1: Whatever... let's just move on.

We reach the terra, res him, and we notice the sin has followed us instead of going to do his quest. He steals the aggro off the other terra, who then dies. Aggro breaks, terra is pissed. Sin is laughing and goes back to his quest.

We do Demon Slayer without problems (in fact we got good spawns) and more deaths happens. We're now out of cons... right before 4 horsemen. We're about to resign when...

Monk 2: maybe i have a set but i dont wanna use cuz the other monk was a *****.
Monk 1: What? You're calling me names while you couldn't even heal me just to help??
Monk 2: w/e. maybe i dont have cons at all then.

/facepalm.

We failed quest. Fastest group I've EVER seen disbanding.

sick of them using Avatar of Baltazar in RA..avatars suck..unless in pve with eternal aura

Me( toucher ranger )
Him (mesmer)

Him: Haha nub toucher, let's see if you are still good with backfire on you
Me : Backfire won't affect me
Him( after i continue to touch him without loosing health) : wtf you f**king hacker, i'm gonna report you stupid looser
Me: i'm telling you that touch skills arent affected by backfire
Him: Stupid wammo dick
Me : I'm not even a wammo!

"william krieger" has been reported for leeching

Him: haha now your account will be banned( he then /ragequit)
me: wtf?

[[avatar of melandru]! I spam Eviscerate on you and snres / blind / condition degen don't work aswell as my +100 health! MUAHAHAHAH

This thread is awesome, and is exactly why I don't PuG or RA.

Well, I AB but that's a different story.

I was in RA yesterday and we had a team with 1 mesmer, 1 ele, 1 wammo and 1 ranger (me). Anyway, we are facing a fairly good team (their builds weren't utter crap and they had a decent monk) and the wammo dies, I use my rez signet asap. Then the mesmer and ele both die to the warrior, wammo dies before using his rez signet (probably didn't have one). I am there alone and the mesmer starts cussing at me to use my rez signet, which I already did. I die and am back in d2. Angry pm's start flooding in from the mesmer telling me I am a noob and should go back to PvE... I tell him that I was the first to use my rez signet yet he keeps on cussing. I eventually had to block him. From now on when playing in RA I am going to ping spam ten times when I use my rez signet so its very clear that I used it....

Yeah, same thing happened to me in RA. Stupid assassin dies and I rez him. Assassin dies again. Quickly followed by the Ele and monk. I'm left alone and the monk is spamming REZ ME REZ ME REZ ME REZ ME OMFG!!!! RU A F** MORON!!!! REZ ME NOOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back in the lobby beach area he's still cussing me out and telling everyone in local to resign if they get stuck with me on their team because I'm a noob that won't rez.

Same thing happened to me once.

In HA, I was playing a PuG balanced (Unranked mind you), and on the first map, that monk was dead and told the team "OMG RES FAST FFS" (Which I was already in the middle of until I got d-shotted), straight after I told him it was d-shotted and he was telling me to get into a better position, even though the Ghostly was in a good spot to be able to d-shot anyone.

A guildie & I were messing around in UW by having 2 A/E's clear different groups of Mindblades at the same time just for sh*ts & giggles. We let another Guildie tag along & we finished a run. We were going to do another run & he was like "let me change to my Searing Flames build" we were like please just come along & hang out, if you interact you will make the run take longer.

He tells me (the guild leader) to stop being delusional. I explained to him again that he was just goin to make the run more diffucult for us if he were to participate with his skill set. He again told me to stop being delusional & to act like a human. I warned him not to rip on the guild leader, & his response was "get used to it".

So I logged onto our forums to check out his profile & low & behold his age is 16. We have an over 18 only policy. So I gave him the boot.

He then goes into this story about how "The Order" will deal with me real soon, & that they had made a rule that he was not to be kicked out of any Guild that he was in. On top of that, he threatened that the "High Council" will deal with me as well, for age discrimination. (I guess the "High Council" is the Court of Law :P ).

This was taking place in AC of TOA, someone sent him an invite to their Guild, as this went on for a good 25 minutes. When this kid left TOA, the person who invited him was like "wo that kid is wierd" & my Guildie was like, "then why did you invite him into your Guild?" He says "This was funny & we wanted to milk it."

All in all I think that the kid was the one who was delusional :S

"Other monk: 'I'm using Mind Freeze on Ether Seal!'"

funniest thing I've read on these forums all year.

Yes my fav class in the game to play is monk. That said i almost never play it anymore. Why? Well energy management. If we kill a group of 7 baddies and i am healing the group I will need to get my energy back up.

But ohhhh no! There is no time for that. Hurry hurry rush rush. Then get called names for being noob and no good monk.

I am like what? Were you not alive after the first group? Geesh. This is why the monks go crazy. I stopped playing with real people a long time ago with my monk. I hate it. I hate it with a passion. Do this, res that guy. Patience please. Hold up what is the rush.

When i ping 2 0f 48 energy why do you just run and agro.

I started to run Necro as second so that could sacrifice health for energy to try and compensate for this energy drain. If the war do not protect me and let the war baddies run past them to attack me I am going to heal myself first of course. Then they die and rant and then i leave. Nuff said.

that's not..."childish" It's just ramdom...

LOL!


This thread makes me even more thankfull for all you professional monkies, I tried and couldn't do it.

This thread RULES, so much laughs, I have read from page 1 today (I was enjoying reading this thread too much >_> so I kept reading it from the first page without stopping lol)

and Kusandaa, your storys are great XD <3

as for me, don't have any PvE storys since all my PUGs in PvE have been great wierdly enough (although I have not done UW or FoW )

I do have one for RA though:

I went to RA, clicked enter battle and what do I see once all my team members had loaded up,

Monk: OMG, I AM WITH NOOB TEAM, YOU ALL ARE NOOBS. NO HEAL
Me: *thinking WTF*
*the three members except the monk, went, fought and died, by this time the monk had quitted*
Me:....and he called us n00bs

I then promtly ranted to my guild mates about it and about how he called us n00bs even though he had never even tried to fight >.<

depends on certain situations and the mission you are in, there are cases where pugs are necessary, since heroes and henchies don't kite really well. But you can leave an exception to monk heroes if well equipped, since they tend to have higher reflexes than a typical human player monk.

My story i think it hilarious. So i am in doa hm run the other day starting in Veil. doing fine when one HB says i am bored, next thing i know he is running grabbing extra mobs, ok not smart but we could handle it for a little while. next thing is he starts tanking, so i start flaming at him, the usual "hey man gtfo of there" soon it was "@#@# noob @#@#@." we end up failing around ten minutes into cons ofcourse this dude thinks its funny.

next day im messing around doing some runs, then i see these guys recruiting for a guild i was in at one point, i really liked the guild so i have them send me an invite. so i open up the guild roster and the same monk from the night before is the guild leader! i was kicked by him within 5 minutes.. it was probablly the highlight of my guild wars career haha.

As a monk who PUGs Slaver's - be fair. There are others who rage too at the first sign of the party wiping. I admit to ragequitting myself, but I personally think if you push me that far, you asked for it.

I'm sure you wouldn't enjoy people making mistakes and then flaming you for it. Overextended and died? "OMG MONK NOOB." Overaggroed? "OMG MONK NOOB." I've met nice PUGs, and I've stayed on to at least attempt to soloheal for some after the other monk leaves - but I see absolutely no point in staying in a group which perpetually decides to wipe itself and then flame me for it. Especially after the monk makes a few suggestions like, say, "could you pull this lot, guys?"

After a while, people do get jaded, especially if a large portion of the people they PUG with behave like 12 year olds who can't admit it's their fault.

EDIT: This is not to say that monks don't behave childishly themselves. I've met a good few who do.

Monk: *uses Rebirth mid-battle
Party: *dies*
Monk: OMFG AVERNE YOU DIDN'T HEAL YOU NOOB.
Me: ...

He was called out on it by another member of the party, but still... And considering this was the Domain of Anguish, I really think he should have known better.

And another story:

I was doing Rragar's with my boyfriend and a PUG. About midway there - after narrowly escaping several party wipes due to three leeroy melees, the (saner) warrior suddenly goes "Why aren't the monks healing? I keep dying." Well, I was pulling my weight, and I said so - when the other monk chips in with "...Oh, I'm chatting with my friend, hang on! Don't worry, the healing will get better once I stop!"
Well, of COURSE it will, don't you think.

He also yelled at me for 'wasting his energy' when he used Heal Party to heal, despite the fact that I was the only one injured due to a monster that slipped past the frontline, and that I could easily have used a small heal to heal myself.

Kind of depends on the situation and the character I use, but whenever I use my monk all sorts of hilarious stuff happen. However, since I actually use my warrior more... Well, less frustration, but there are odd instances where, for absolutely no reason, people leave.

If people in a pug are behaving childishly I take the high road and rage quit, I do this especially when I play monk. Sometimes i deal with it until our group is really close to our goal, then i type /sit and demand compensation for their inexcusable behavior.
