Running a Curse bar I of course had IP on me. I see this lone assassin running towards me (saw a caster and thought its easy prey). I cast IP on him just before he reaches me, then type /dance, wait untill he was nearly dead and typed /boo . I then said in allchat that I had scared the assassin to death and apparently he beleived me. He started raging that I was hacking and no matter how often he would attack me, my HP would not go down even though I wasnt casting any skills and there was no monk close by.
I guess some things never change.

No screenshots of any of these, but they are things that stick out in my mind.
'Everyone likes Obsidian Armor, and anyone who says otherwise is just too poor to buy their own.' Because anyone with a mind of their own must be poor.
On a related note, when my husband was wearing a mix that included Obsidian armor, some guy approached him out of nowhere to tell him he was wearing 'fake Obsidian' and that he was 'too poor to afford the rest.' He had the rest of the set sitting in his inventory for his HoM, but preferred the mix.
I saw this one on Guru, but it was so stupid that I think it fits. 'People shouldn't be allowed to mix armor in this game.' Yes, let's stifle creativity just because some people make some mixes you don't like. Granted, I saw it while browsing the bad armor combo thread, but still.
And this was in game, when I couldn't find any help on the Screenshot Request forum. I was trying to find someone to show me Elite Rogue's top in white. A guy PM'd me saying he had it, and wouldn't show it to me until I went into his HoM with him. His armor was dyed white + BLACK, so it was totally useless to me, but he insisted on showing off and explaining every. Single. Thing. in his HoM, plus some req 7 or 8 sword, for the next 45 minutes. I was probably just as stupid for sitting there and saying, 'Uh-huh. Okay.' but I felt kind of bad that he was that desperate for attention. He also said that he didn't think people should ever mix armor unless they used pieces that looked really similar to the original set once I told him that I don't like wearing full sets.

Pretty much every officer and the leader had come up with a couple of rules. First of them being donate all your platinum to the officers so they can craft their obsidian armour. If you didnt have anything you would get kicked instantly. (Queu me being kicked because i'm not stupid)
2 weeks later I got a whisper from one of the officers claiming I was a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE (you can think up some sweary words here) for not giving him money. He kept on blabbering for over an hour (I never replied once mind you had too much trouble keeping my head to the game with all the laughter) I eventually just ignored him and that was the end of that.

I have a bad habit of talking to people, while thinking I'm talking to other people because I don't pay as much attention as I should when selecting names, or I've talked to both people recently and don't properly switch back and forth.
Mostly, it's harmless stuff, but sometimes it's really random and out of context, is probably frightening, or worse, they think I'm coming on to them.
The worst was the day WoC released and I went to whisper a friend about the fans and we carried on for 30-40 minutes, just talking back and forth about the fans until for whatever reason, my actual friend whispers me and is like, 'hey.. ' and I realized, 'heeeeeey'.... I'd been talking to a total stranger for 40 minutes! The worst of it was, he was carrying on with me like he knew me too..so I have to wonder if he has the same name selection problem I do..

Hmm, i'm not sure HOW IN GODS NAME i can scam someone with this, out of days in Kamadan this the ONLY idiot to cross my path and rage

It's typical of Kamadan 'buyers', who honestly, mostly consist of powertraders trying to out-lowball the next, but your reply wasn't exactly kosher, either.

People selling Fruitcakes for 50k per stack in Kamadan.
Red Bean Cakes are available all the time from Canthan merchants for 400g which is the same price per point. This defeats the purpose of going to Kamadan to buy sweet points.

may I direct you to all the times he crossed out vulgar insults that he himself sent to the other person?

The best way to handle situations like this is with humor.
When I'm trying to haggle out a deal like this and the other party is givin me crap about what its worth, essentially lowballin me....I will relent and say "you're right, you can just have it for free". Get him/her in a trade screen and then go make yourself a sandwich or something.
Did this several times. A few times I was amazed at how long they'd stay in the trade window, freaking out....."OMG NOOB WTF" spammed across my message window.
Never lose your sense of humor. Without it life is a pain.

Not the stupidest by far, but I didnt ran into things for quite some while now.
Yesterday the Zaishen was nundu bay. Nice easy way to get some coins.
Some groups looking for more people, and what was there method. Group looking for more, No Melee.
Seen it before, but long time ago. It just feels so stupid if you ask me.

But yesterday is another story - selling some stuff and I get a whisper...
Guy: price?
Me: 50k
Guy: lolnoob
Me: 5k*
Guy: okay (opens trade)
Me: ROFLnoob
When in Rome, act like a Roman. When in Kamadan, act like an idiot. Things are more fun and go much smoother.

Sometimes I wonder how they even get dressed or put on their helmets by themselves in the morning.

Some guy started an UW team (300+) and I joined them. They asked me if I had cons and when I suggested the person who forms the party should usually have them I was trolled about how his 25stacks of consets aren't for pug's. Really dude, 25 stacks?
