Anti-jerk: whats the nicest thing someone has done for you
Dark Interception
When i was on my first char and i was running around in ascalon (post-searing) totally lost as my E/W with a sword + shield i bumped into a guy who invited me into his guild and told me everything i needed to know about the game

My old guild mate was so rich in that times. He often went to uw and fow. And after it he gave away max items sometimes purples, wich ones had very ridiclious prices those days. (because always america had the favor)

Noone has ever done anything worth mentioning for me..i do help others but havnt recieved much help in return,only when the "helper" has sompthing to gain from it.
Its sad (since in over 1 year i havnt recieved any help,i didnt need it but still its not good.) but doing it all on youre own makes you know the game better and get more skilled then when someone dous it all for you.

One nice thing (not the nicest however) that somebody did for me sticks out in my mind.
At the time I was building up my PVE Elementalist to absurd amounts of fire power. An aquaintance of mine gave me an Elemantalist Rune of Superior Fire Magic for free. However, due to my computer totally cracking out on me I lost interest in GW and left the game.
Recently though, I remembered that rune was in my storage and I decided to look for a good price for it (I don't have an Elementalist character anymore).
Went to the nearest Rune Trader and got a quote, how much was it you ask? 6 friggin' thousand that's how much.
It's not much for a high-level character I know, but my Paragon was o9nly level 4 at the time. :P
EDIT: Also, in Cantha, I was right at the beginning in Shing Jea and a random bloke told me to open trade and he gave me an awesome set of daggers which I still use to this day.

Each member in my guild gave me 10k at my birthday hehe, that helped me craft some armor pieces I was missing. Depending on the luck at the day, I usually include an extra green item in my trades, for free. People are very polite when asking to see and complimenting for having it =D

Um, there are a lot of nice things in my GW memeries.
I do remeber when I first start monking back in prophcies. I never monk in anyother games, I perfer bash and slash=P, but my guild need one...so I made a monk.
Of course, I am not that sharp at begining, a long long begining.... I dont mind getting blame every now and then, and I was used to it, its all part of been a monk. But when I was in one of the 3 desert mission, think it was dune.. a warrior player died. I thought "oww..there it comes..another yelling and complaining". Suprice, suprice, the warrior actulay told the team "My bad, I was out of healing spell range, sorry team."
I was like "woooo", I seriously never meet any players that open and admit their mistake that fast and right infront of everyone.
It totaly save my skin=P, ya he is out of my my healing range, but I was so used to be on the wrong end of the stick.
It keep me monking, and helping out at those harder missions with my monk when ever I can.

there were a few nice things that happened to me while playing GW.
like, there was a guy who ive been runnin around in the desert (and those r easy runs). he offered me 1k for each of those runs. i tried to deny and tell him its way too much, but he kept on pushin. nice guy
another thing is, when i was still quite new to GW and i just started makin a monk for the first time. i was sumthin like lvl15 or 16 when i hooked up with a group to do galraths. there were a few high(er) lvls and few equal ones, i was the only monk. at the end, we survived the quest and one of the higher lvls told me "ur a good monk, for bein lvl15/16".. now, that made me pretty proud

I can think of dozens of times when total strangers were kind enough to give me very nice equipment. I recall a few gratis runs as well. To be honest my experience with other GWer's has generally been positive as often as its been negative. There are some really cool people playing this game.

But, for all the jerks out there, Just add them to your friends list and when they finally take you off their ignore list after screwing you over/insulting you, you can totally bitch them out then put them on ignore--revenge is soooo sweet.
Malice Black
Stuey gave me a gold staff and wand when I came back from my first rage quit (gave away everything I owned and my account) I was a level8 at the time using a starter wand. If I called in all the favors and money owed I'd be a millionaire again in no time.

I was doing the Abbadon's mouth mission, including the bonus. Once we broke into the stronghold (first gate) and fought around the bridge area (basically following the right wall all the way around and over the bridge), we started fighting towards the gate, decidedly just stopping before breaking that seal by the docks and clearing the path for the bonus. However, the team leader decided, and insisted on, breaking the seal to the docks immediately. The entire team was confused and against this until the leader said there was a black dye drop for me (which would have been up for grabs by the time we got back). So we broke the seal, killed all the jades and mursaat, but left the final seal for bonus until we came back.
In light of Gaile's dragon mask being taken (someone was apparently trying to profit off of it), this gesture above was one I remembered from earlier on in my GW days. (I later earned protectors after completing Hell's Precipice)

I'll skip many of the details.... but due to some issues of my own, I ended up inadvertantly needing 30 Amber, 15 Steel, 150 Tanned Hide and 15k in cash.
A certain someone from these boards popped up and just gave me all that.... and a pair of nifty Zodiac Daggers too... for free.
I ended up having an odd conversation with her for the next few hours.... and as it happens she said she was trying to get Blue and Purple Steel Daggers for their particular skins....
... I've got a pair of Purple Steel Daggers reserved for her that I've since gained, and am still waiting for her to reply to whispers to come and accept them! ^_^;;

When these nice Europe dist. people, a monk and two paragons, helped me got my friend's Obsidian armor. We had tried so many times in the American districts and failed that we decided to try it in the morning in Europe. It worked! I still give my thanks to you, guys!
Aside from that, I don't think anyone's ever been nice to me.

This was something I did rather than someone else. When I was getting my warr's 15k Kurzick a few days after Factions went live, I was buying the last amber I needed (back when they were actually worth something..) and accidentally put in 5 instead of 500 (yes it was an accident and not an attempted scam >_<). Then I got him back and gave him the rest.
creelie
The first character I ever took out of pre-searing got escorted to Piken Square for free . . . and then to Yak's Bend . . . and then to Beacon's Perch . . . and then to Droks. It took this guy like two hours, and he did it all for free. I didn't even really understand the magnitude of the gesture until playing the game for a few more weeks.
Ever since I try to be nice to newbies. Near the end of the Wintersday event I ran a pair of new players from Ascalon to Lion's Arch so they could get hats.

When I was a total newb starting out in pre... someone helped me run to the Warrior skills trainer and was giving me tips along the way. Didn't ask anything in return and was extremely nice.

Anyway, this is a wonderful thread. I know I have had my share of niceties done to me over the last two years in this game and I try to do my share in return. None really stand out in particular, but I do always like it when i am told a simple "nice job" during a mission.

The one that meant the most was after killing undead prince Rurik (in a PUG) the leader of the group said..."You're a kick ass monk, it's been a pleasure playing with you." So different from the normal comments monking brings.
Then another one was some guy in LA 1 ran up to me and gave me 10k, told me it was for actually using the Trade Channel. He was very insistent that I take it too.

I’ve seen a lot of good things during the event, and to make a huge list short. Thanks to everyone who helped in successfully completing the cook’s dishes during the event, and all those guilds that also made sure they had all the ingredients. And a special thanks to all those who stayed in ID 4 I believe threw out the whole event the NsK guild who provided every ingredient.

Well, my anti Jerk list would be:
1: The countless PvPers who have helped my Gladiator title so far, a personal thanks to all them. (I like monks who are smart enough to take Hex breaker in RA)
2: My Guild leader to a nice guy, a bit too nice for his own good I think, but I'm thankful for him.
3: The Dervish and Warrior who I did Gates of Madness with, dispite getting our rear ends nearly shaved off by Shiro +10000 times, we beat him in the end, thanks to them for not giving up.
4:The folks on my Friends list, whom most I met in PvE doing mission or was in a guild I joined in my earlier times playing.

Moonie gave me a Hyrdra in Id1 once.. I named him Jethro. People donate ale to me somtimes which is always nice.
I think the nicest thing you can do to someone in guild wars is completement them. When i'm pveing or pvping it feels so good to get a Wow, your an awesome monk miles. Really makes my day.

When i started, i had a guy run me EVERYWHERE for free, all of my chars, he was always on and always rdy to run me, he also gave me heaps of tips on being a warrior and gave me some great weapons.

Someone gave me 100k because he quited playing GW. Months later he started playing it again and I gave him back 100k to get started.

I have to say thanks to all my Guildies, they are great.
I'm trying to get a dye stack to 250, i really dont mind which colour, and so they are donating any spare dyes they get to me. I dont really know why i started this, but it's a bit of a personal challenge and i'm now half way there on a few colours, often due to their kind hearts
On another note, i have a storage character that i use just to keep golds and greens i find, but dont need, so that if a guildie pops up saying they need 'x' for their character, i may have one to give them.

There are lots of people in augury rock running these tedious crystal desert missions for anyone who needs them. Happened to me twice. Same as free Droks run (I gave him gold anyway and he was overjoyed lol). Some guy who gave me a scar eater + ele gear because I helped him with Naphui Quarter (You could just as well pay me to pick my nose for 20 minutes).

Prolly nicest thing was that people from my old guild helped me when i was making my monk.
I finished Pre searing, and in Post searing ascalon a guildie was waiting for me. He ran me from Ascalon to Beacon's and then to Droknars. There was another guildie waiting who bought me my armor & runes. 2 Other guildies were waiting there to take me on a skillhunter spree, grabbing every elite i could ever need to monk successfully. After the run we returned to guildhall, were another guildie was waiting for us. He gave me a perfect heal staff, perfect prot staff & a +5 energy sword.
hows that for being nice!
