Ran into an idiot like this in ascalon just now wouldn't be surprised if it's the same person. I called him a nub scammer he said its not scamming if he hasn't been reported yet then he said he does this all the time I told him this would be funny to put on guru since he said all this in local chat and he left.

Him: You don't have it on your book and they are hackers.

If you can't do something with discord, it's obviously impossible.
Oh my...I think this one wins!!!

And the zkeys scam...I'd really like to kick people like that.

Nah, what you do is go through the whole talking to the NPCs thing, and then when it comes time to trade you offer him 10 Ascalonian keys, and see if he's greedy enough to check the trade before accepting, just for the lulz of course...

Top one almost gave me an aneurysm. If there isn't a thread already for horrible builds we've encountered, that post should be the start of one.

Wish I had more to contribute to this thread, I keep Local muted for a reason. Of course there was last week when Zaishen Elite turned into a huge 9/11 conspiracy flame war out of nowhere.

This one makes me laugh. When players who have been playing for at least a year (and came from another MMO) still cling to the holy trinity. I love to see in all chat LF Tank, 2 healer monks, and 5 ele nukers...all fire. I really love to tell them a prot monk is a good replacement for one healer, they retort with "STFU n00b i have been playing for a year i know that prot monks suck!"

this is a classic conversation in all chat.

Was just in Spamadan selling a req 8 Aegis.
Wrote a basic selll in chat log
WTS Aegis Req8 tactics........blah blah blah.....
Got a messege a minute later asking....
"What skin is it!?!?!?"
I reply'd with my messege I wrote in Trade channel "WTS Aegis Req8 tactics"
He then reply'd right after with caps lock on
"WHAT SKIN"
Again....I replyd with my trade channel messege"WTS Aegis Req8 tactics"
In caps lock, again I got a messege back
"WHAT SKIN IDIOT"?!?!?!
after that I just started to ignore him..
He then started spamming me calling me a noob, and idiot and spamming me saying
" WHAT SKIN YOU NOOB"
Before I put him on ignore, I told him to type /wiki aegis for all his noobie answers.

Surely it would have been less hassle to answer his question with "Shield of the wing style aegis" of something similar? Unless of course you like the drama...

Ye he was an idiot, although there does exist countless Aegis types and this guy didn't really have the brain to figure out that it was the skin "Aegis."
However you seemed to make it harder for both him and yourself didn't you? Why didn't you just write "it's a regular Aegis" or "it's a Shield of the Wing skin Aegis" or something, just to make it clear and avoid that huge annoyance on both sides?

I think there's a lot of in-game dynamics that a lot of us don't stumble on until later. Only recently, after playing since the release, did I learn that you could split up stack of items using the Shift key. I'm also surprised how many traders are always asking "where are you?", not knowing that you can just cut and paste or type someone's username in the party search window to find them in an outpost. My guild doesn't know this either because we play hide and seek a lot and almost all of them will be running around in circles in outposts looking for the "hide-ee".

My assassin is often called coward in Fort Aspenwood because I run in, kill someone and then dash away for recharging. Also when opponent has some kind of block skill or something which ruins my combo. Why I should stay in hopeless fight and die? There is so much hate for assassins in general. Never got that crap with mesmer or maybe rarely when opponent is dying from degen and trying to catch me for heal like Ether Feast, but fails and die.

few days ago in RA, i was in a team with an aotl nec with all mm skills. after getting his 2 minions, he rushed straight in. i played magebane, and i shut down the mes (who appeared to have 0 fast casting and playing vor). after we lose, the nec just says 'rupting is stupid' to me. i didn't say anything... just stared blankly at the screen for a few secs and left.

You can drop gold on the ground? I never knew that. Never even occurred to me to try. Can't see any reason for doing it, except for messing with the "Now, drop your item on the ground" scammers. But a wood plank works just as well for that.

Drag and drop it out. A single gold coin makes a handy marker for traps. Anything will do, like your example of a wood plank.
