Out of all the beta weekends, this one had the worse player attitudes I have ever seen. It seemed like there was a huge increase of new players which might be why. I have never had so many sore losers, immature opponents or cocky teammates before, all in PvP (the only PvE I did was at Temple of Ages so those people have been around for a bit). Of course, I played The Crag a lot, and that is where the newbies started. Got tiring facing jerks, but I guess it's expected in any game.
Not to say that all the newbies were mean or annoying. I met a lot of nice ones. Maybe it's just because I did 95% PvP during the weekend, but I hope this isn't a sign of release. Anyone else notice this or had similiar experience?
A sign of release?

I noticed a few of these people too. I just don't think it's as many as you thought it was. Usually, when you encounter a couple of jerks in a couple matches of Arena, you think everyone is a dick. It's not really the case though, most people are pretty nice on GW, there are just a select handful of assholes.
I went on a 15+ win streak in one of the Arenas (the 4v4 random kill the other team one) with this kid that thought it was so funny to shout "all your dads buttsex are belong to me" among many other stupid things after we would win. I just politely asked him to shut up after about the 5th time, and he did. Sometimes you just gotta be nice to them and ask them to stop.
It was funny though, because I encountered him again later that day but we were on opposing teams. I saw his name, and instantly rushed after him. I took him out in a couple of seconds, and purposely stop playing for a few seconds to type out "all your dads buttsex are belong to me now" for him. It was great.

The only problem I had was in PvP when someone got killed on the opposite team, called a teammate "A horrible player" (*snicker*) and then DC'd. Other than that the community was great, even had someone who accidentally sold me too few hides insist on giving me the rest after I finished the trade.

i was there with auh, we actually beat them in the end, after over an hour of killing the fertile, attacking the ranger, killing fertile again, kill the ranger, attack the guild lord, attack the fertile, and so on, but it was kinda fun, i kept blowin things up with catapaults 
but i dont thing it was warriors of w/e i think it was ragnorak sumtin or close to that
DarkWasp
Is it that stupid ranger move that gives everyone a crapload of health. I had someone using that on my team, took forever to get killed.

Bear in mind that this game is essentially free to play online. The result of this is having to deal with a LOT of annoying, borderline-illiterate kids. Check out battle.net sometime, you'll understand.

but is there a system to remove extremely disruptive people? there's no GM or /complaint command.

I've played all the betas and the WPE, so I know how awesome and good overall the community is. I'm not really complaining. I just noticed that this being the last weekend, I encountered more than my usual share of poor players. I'm wondering if people think it will get as bad (or worse) as some other games, or if GW will draw in a much happier crowd. So far so good in my opinion.
And you can't accurately compare the community of GW to other online games yet since it isn't released. That's my point. Thx for the feedback.

I noticed a few as well that were blatently rude and cocky, but I think that's pretty typical for any online game. There is signifigantly fewer in Guild Wars however, which is nice.
Besides, Eventually they'll get sick of the game if everyones ignoring them and they get no where with the way they're acting. At least here they cant attempt to TK or PK us to fuel a fire, that'll be a major deturent to get them to back the hell off and go bug the CS community again.

I noticed this too. Especially on the European teams there seemed to be quite a few people who just like to trash-talk. That, and the fact that especially on the last day, getting a good group for PvP was damn near impossible. It wasn't that the players in the group were annoying, just very, very uncoordinated or unskilled. It also seemed that most of the truly skilled players were hanging out at the Temple of the Ages trying to beat the Underworld and the Fissure of Woe.

Ive been playing wow since release, and i do agree that most people on pvp/normal servers, are idiots. so i play on a rp server, and most of the idiots, go away.
I do enjoy role-playing, and i do plan starting a rp guild.

That's typical with online games or the internet where you have your keyboard commandos talking garbage or being jerks as long as it's in the safety of being anonymous.
I general had fun with the pick-up pvp groups but all it takes is one a-hole to ruin it. For example in my first group I was in we got wiped on the first map and we had some dork yelling about how everyone on the team sucks and needs to learn to play the game. Funny thing to yell in a beta. Even better was when everyone told him to STFU and he quit, we started over and won the next four maps. Nothing funner than Noob on Noob violence.

The game by design is based on competition. I would be inclined to say that GW will have many trash talkers and sore losers. However, the bonus is that when the game is released you will group less with random people and group more with your own guild mates.
This should relive the issues with sore losers and trash talkers if your guild has good management. However, from time to time you will face a guild that trash talks and so forth.

You got to look at the fact that pvp probably brings out the worst in people. I found that out a long time ago in varius games. Its hard to find people that don't get bent out of shape when the lose or who don't gloat when they win. I've pretty much stopped pvp in almost all RPG type games. The only pvp I did this BWE was the part where you went throught the academy, and the first time I went throught I thought I was playing vs npcs no one said anything. Come to think of it all three times I went through no one on the opposing team said anything.
Anyway I found the RP side very fun. I love the way the set this game up, when you are acutally out in the field playing no one can bother you. I just got to play this one BWE, but I'm hooked and can't wait for the release. Sorry to ramble, but thats my two cents. Later

That is one thing, newbies are contained in Pre-searing for a while, that should slow down the beggers for a bit. And those annoying people who just cant seem to win and complain about everything would quit playing because there is no higher level then 20, it gives them no chance to get a higher level then someone to kill them.

The only time it got foul for me was in a match of 5 American teams vs. 1 Euro team, and still it was a joking sort of jerkish.
Most everyone had a positive attidude in-game, maybe you just ran into all the jerks

I found a lot of the immiture people to be at Ascalon. So I just stayed away from there and it was pretty good. I have a bad feeling that Ascalon is going to always be filled with these immiture people

Heh, yeah, I was in a round that took like a half-hour thanks too Fertile Season. And just when it started someone on my team said "Euro B****es". Rrgg that made me mad, but he got plenty of "Shut Ups" from all the teams including ours.
Yeah these people piss me off, they deserve to die sometimes.

yes please give some of us new players that aren't pimple faced neophytes that are here to enrich the game and not debase it with abrasive behavior a chance to learn the ropes. I noted a lack of skill being a complaint from several posts. It will take some time for us to development the skills

I played...all PvE, except for the Academy PvP thing, which I wasnt warned about, so I got punished. Anyway, the community was great, except that its very difficult to find people who are wiling to go in a group with you. Sometimes its better thn others and you get more people than you asked for, but other times its disheartening to have to settle for the utterly retarded NPC's, especially when you are playing with a friend and you both keep dying.

This was my 1st BWE other than the WPE so i was 1 of the nesbs i had a lvl 13 mes/nec called rammvicious and i had another PvP mes/nec. I liked most people but there were a couple times when i tried to go to tombs and the arena where i had jerks who joined just to quit. Everything else was good. There was 1 team I might of pissed off after they got our guild lord down to less than 5% and they all died so we killed there lord. I rubbed it in a bit lol but i won't do that again i was just to used to having macros to make fun of the horde in l33t from WoW. My apologies
EDIT everyone said they loved pre searing ascalon but i hated it. I was glad to get out of it which i did at lvl 5. I like the missions much better than the quests.

I was only able to play for a few hours but did not want to go through the academy. THis was my first and only BWE but I wanted to save the newness of the rest of the game for the release. I did really enjoy pre-searing though. Sure some of the quests were "quaint" but isn't that kinda the point in pre-searing
Faye
I had no problems whatsoever, I had really nice guys on my teams constantly and they were up for exporing the are abit more and everyone was nice, i loved the community, alltho my stantards might be set quite low since i've played a game with the worst imaginable community, Conquer Online.
Faith's Hammer
This was my first BWE and i was very happy with the game and *most* of the player base. All of the people i grouped with were great (i had a few different groups) and very likeable. I figure most of the jerks will go straight to PvP and most of the people doing PvE will be fairly cool. Or at least i hope so. And if they arent ill just grab my NPC friends who dont say anything and go do missions :P

I played very little PvP this weeend, mainly PvE, and everyone I met was awesome. In most online games, try to invite anyine to your party or say hello, and they either ignore you, or tell you to f@#k off. In GW, theyre very nice, most accept or say "Oh, sorry, but I'm waiting for guild/mates." This, most of all, impressed me.
And very few MMORPG's will you get that many people haveing a naked orgy around the campfire!

I met this kid this BWE. He tried selling a belt. I said I'll buy it for 300. But he said he can't put it in trade screen, he had to go outside and drop it. I smelled something foul and scammy going on, but followed him outside to see how it would play out.
Once outside, he drop the belt first, and let me pick it up. I was quite surprised at the "niceness" of it as I gladly gave him 300 gold. This is something you never see in Diablo II, where I come from.
