My first time doing UW. I saw a npc, and he was giving out all these missions. I was like, yush, missions for the win! So I clicked on every single one of them...
So yeah, monsters, bum rushed us. Nearly crapped myself. =/

When I finally regained my senses I just said, "Mhenlo is a hench."
The monk didn't speak a word and immediately left the group when we got to the Grotto... |
LOL the best one yet

I felt like a noob a little while ago.
I was in droknars to buy and try on new armor when some friends asked me to come help on a mission.
So i strap on the new armor, sell the old set and move out to the rescue.
At some point, i think it was the ring of fire mission, you get to a gate with several mursaat standing on it.
So .... this is what my ele was geared up for ... i step forward ... target them en start casting meteor shower
Before i finish casting i am dead.
I'm thinking WTF hit me
Then i realize my new armor is not infused ....

The entire group died except him (i think he was the monk, not sure) and the group was yelling for him to run away, but he found that he could not move. He kept holding down the forward key, but he just couldn't move. So, he tried to yell out that he couldn't move and what came out was "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwI can't move!!!"

Pre sear: Last night, I started a new charcter to try out. While in Ascalon, a necro was asking how we could get the material to get a guild cape. Two people (including myself) told him you dont need material, you need 2000gold. He and a few others scoffed at us saying that was stupid and capes were not that expensive.
Tried to further explain the "bar" that was next to the 2 was platinum. The necro asked how do you get platinum. I explained that 1000gold=1 plat. Necro then asks how do you change the gold into plat?
Then ignores me and continues asking for guild cape material...
Edit: Thunderhead keep: PUG starts out well./ Part comliments each other for doing well and listening to instructions and getting the job done. At the very end, it all falls apart. People stating that "I am do this.. not that". King gets killed. Team zones back to starting area and team screams at each other saying they have listening problems. I just sit there saying nothing...didnt you guys just say we were one of the best groups you all have been in??

my contribution with some examples 
1)When u r playing Monk, u have to use Inter chans in town or u have to play with a permanent amount of pms on screen, "help me u r monk" etc
2)People pming u A LOT for help when u have a monk, again.. and they insist "u are monk, every group MUST have one" "u r the only Monk in town u must help us or we cant go any further in game now" etc
3)The well-known "Dont talk to NPC" followed by a click+lol from the guy who dont care.. grrr
4)A friend who made his own guild..but he recruiting ppl kinda randomly cauz they are not enough for gvg etc..One of em is awesome...he got an Ecto(written Value:100 on it huh) we told him ten times it was worth some k gold ... he traded it probably confusing it with the old skin of spider drop ... but DAMN he sold it to a scammer for ... 50 gold (100 at shop !! )
5)Doing a Mission.. i dropped a rare fire wand and the Ele in game spammed us with the "u r Warrior u dont need it..i m ele u must give it to me" the real prob is that he spammed me during the fight with the trade window !!! Can't do a thing about that or what? .. finally he rushed (yeah spamming wasnt enough^^) and died.. heh i "forgot" to raise him

VxWolfxV .... thats one of the funniest stories on here. I do that all the time.
Can't count the number of times I've been in a mission and "couldn't move" because I was in chat. ha ha ha. Unlike "Old Warrior Dood" I just press enter and team chat the most useless message of "wwwwwwwdddddddwwwwww". So dumb.
Also hate it when I think I'm in the chat window and I'm not. So you start typing and you get every freakin' window known to man opening on your screen.... sooo annoying.

Well i must be blessed because of my ViM skills.
ViM is a text editor where you have to press esc to go back to the default mode of editing. So almost all ViM users have a Escape tick where they constantly press escape, after typing a line of text.
Also works like a charm in GuildWars.
So never had much trouble with the "wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwcan't move".

worse part is when you type something like:
"Run its hard"
and since you hit R before opening the chat window you begin to run towards the mobs, your mini map disappears, your friend list pops up, followed by your inventory, hero screen. and all you want to do is close them fast so you can click in the opposite direction....
but you hit enter cause you thought you sent a message and now your chat window is filling up with your key presses to turn, run, or turn off those screens.
I might have died once or twice that way. No good way to explain it.

Yeah these are all great. I'm actually kind of suprised by the lack of flame war.
Anyway, another n00b story:
So, I'm helping a guildmate get his character through the Gates of Kryta mission. In order to make group-forming simple, I advertise that there is a lvl 20 in the group, and of course get five meeeellion responses.
I make a good team and we head out. One of the members of the group (who claimed he was a healing monk) stands there doing nothing. We all die (except me) on the first group of enemies due to lack of monk. All this time he is casting healing spells on himself, even though hes not taking any damage.
We continue to the next mob. When my guildmate's health gets low, he asks for a heal. The monk... heals himself. Another party member needs a heal. The monk... heals himself.
Eventually we get to the Swamp section, where the Monk charges in and dies. He then says (and this is his first message the ENTIRE mission) "OMFG Y U GUYZ NO HEAL????????. We ignore him, so he drops from the mission.
Monk n00bs DO exist. Hopefully you never have to deal with one.

Not really much of a noob story, but I thought it was pretty funny when, after trying to sell a chaos axe in LA for a while, I was glad to get an offer for 3k which was much more than it was worth. I went to the guy, open the trade window and put in the axe, wait for his 3k to come up and what do I see? Not 3 plat but 3 gold. I just kind of sat there for a moment and laughed and let the window stay open to increase his tension. Then I cancelled, told him I got an offer of 4 gold and asked if he would he care to bid higher. Needless to say, I never heard from that guy again.

I've gotten a monk in Thunderhead Keep who didn't speak, barely healed, and spent most of the mission away from the group. Now...this was a group of people who had all tried the mission at least five times, and the last thing we were worried about was getting the bonus, so we made it clear that NO ONE was to light the beacons. So what did our trusty healer do? She lit the beacons, and then spent the rest of the mission running around aimlessly. She didn't heal once after that.
We made it through the hardest part, and then were overwhelmed by the bonus Mursaat.

Looks like I have another one.
When I was looking for an axe (if your read the original post, you'll know that I was looking on behalf of a Guildmate) I encountered some guy spamming "UBER AXE 4 SALE COME SEE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Figuring (incorrectly) that I had nothing to loose, I asked to see the axe.
I get a bit worried when it turns out the guy is at level 5.
He shows me the axe, which is 3-4 damage and asks for me to make an offer. I politely inform him that his axe is minimum damage and that there's no way anyone could possibly want to buy it. I get the phrase "STFU NOOB MY AXE R TEH PWNZ!!!!!!!" spammed at me.
I send him only one message:
"Look, the n00b spams and I ignore."
And he went on my ignore list.
Kind of sad, but funny at the same time.

My n00b story for the day is being accused of a n00b in the random arena this morning because I didn't use a res signet while frozen soil was up. Finally, after killing the spirit (another person died, *sigh), but I could finally use my signet (after this person spamming "r3z m3" about 20 times). Needless to say, we finally lost -- clearly because I chose to rez the recently fallen hero rather than the spammer. Then he proceeded to harass me via tells; thank heavens for the ignore list.

I use AutoCAD at work, where ESC is a default for cancelling half written commands, or stopping commands in general, so the ESC tick is also pretty in-grained into my muscle memory.
Ahhh, I did the same thing, don't remember my level, but I do remember travelling back and forth between Ascalon, Ashford Abbey, and even Barradin Estate, thinking, "This sucks." I was so very happy when I discovered the map travelling option.

I advertised in Augury rock that i would run people to dunes for free. I got 5 immediate responses. The fifth response was like this "Wow, you really must have no life to be doing it for free" I took my team to dunes and logged back in with my other character. I found this person who was charging 500 gold per person to go to dunes and i joined his group. He didnt know that he insulted me 10 minutes previously, let alone the fact that i had a malicious plan for revenge. Anyway, off we went. I could tell immediately that he was taking the northern approach (more deadly) and this just boosted my excitement for my cunning plan. As he dodged the drakes, jades, griffons, sand ele's and dreaded wurms, i weaved my way towards to thin alleyway through which he had to go. Was it my fault i did my own weaving and "accidentally" pulled more mobs than he would appreciate? No, of course not. "Stop stop" he shouted. "No you idiot, just die!" he yelled. "You're screwing up the run" screamed the only anxious passenger of his. (hehe, thanks for letting me know i'm achieving my plan) I did as he said, i stopped. and died...just happened to be in the alleyway through which he planned to go. What happened next? Of course...all the mobs set on the runner and killed him through his godly armour in 5 seconds flat. When i stopped laughing, wiping the tears from my eyes, i could see that we ressed at dunes anyway. I paid him the 500 gold and sent him a message..... "Wow, you must really have no life to be charging people" So, what lesson did i teach him? Mind your own business. One less person in the desert sending malicious whispers and one more in my ignore list. For being a first time aggro noob, i would say i did a damn good job! |
lmao thats so funny

well, this is my noob story. yesterday at TOA, i had a 7/8 group for FOW. we needed another warrior, so i was looking for one. this one guy, which i wont mention his name, msg me cause he wanted to join. i asked him if he had any experience with FOW. he was a level 20 btw. this is what he said, "Of course, I've been there many times. I've had lots of experience with fissure". so i thought to myself, this guy seems good and i added him. Lo and behold, when i went to pay to enter fissure, bam, denied because someone hasnt ascended and guess who it was? it was the newly added warrior. this was the first time something like this happened for me. i never knew that the ghost will tell you which player isnt ascended. well, back to the story. after when i was denied access, and i announced it to the team, and that warrior left the group like there was no tomorrow. i guess i cant blame him for being a noob. well, guess he learned something new.
btw, yesterday was the furthest i have traveled at fissure. i finally made it to the forge guy and was able to buy fissure armor but had no money.

MY n00b story happened a few days ago, but I do't know if it's really a n00b story or a story about a guy who sucks. I'm in Ascalon trying to buy some Steel ingots for new armor. Then as I was staring at the chat screen I see this pop up.
"WTS Necro Armor from Lion's Arch| Armor 45(or something like that)| Increases Damage From Holy Spells| 500g"
So I thought, well I should Inform said person about the fact that armor is Customized for the wearer so I whispered to him.
me: Dude your armor is customized for you no one else can wear it
him: STFU n00b I know that I'm just trying to make money off of n00bs!
me: thats pretty messed up
(so then I Posted that you couldn't wear his armor in the channel just in case anyone was stupid enough to try and buy it)
him: OMG WTF N00B!!!! WHY'd you ----ing do that NOOOOB!
me: because your a ---- trying to scam people
And that about it though he called me n00b a few more times...I hate some people.

When silver dye was still going for 500-600, I posted this at Ascalon City trade channel: "WTS Silver dye for 300g, first one to whisper me gets it", because I needed some quick cash. I got 4 whispers instantly, and I replied the fastest one "ok, meet me at storage".
While I was waiting for him/her to arrive, some other dude started spamming me with trade requests. When I declined, he goes "why be a n00b about it?" After I replied that he wasn't the first one to whisper, he spammed some more, and even after I sold the dye to the fastest whisperer I still got several random insults revolving around the word "n00b".
The extensive vocabulary some people have amazes me.

Ok, here's my noob story
Was working with a team of folks walking north out of Fisherman's to do Gareth and get to ToA.
On our way to Gareth, there's a path along a river/stream that has a tree on a hillside. There's a bit of a mob there, fight is over, I want to get to a drop. I autorun to go around the high side of the tree, not realizing that it is impassable. Pretty soon, I stop, but my pet warthog runs right up behind me. Now I'm stuck.
I was wedged in real good since the tree blocked the pet on two sides, so he'd have to back up to let me out.
The whole party came back, stood around and made all kinds of funny pig remarks. I was stuck for several minutes until he random walked away.
Still the mission was a success, we clobbered Gareth even though our monk dropped. Everybody had 25-30% DP, but we survived.

not sure if this is a noob story but was in Droknar Forge the other day and saw the message.
"Willing to teach people how not to be scammed 1k per person, whisper me."
So I messaged him back saying. "That seems like a scam to me..."
His reply was that exactly, it was and many many people had fallen for it... I just had a laugh and left...

I was in the Fissure yesterday and we get this n00b monk who decides that instead of healing, he would tank. He says, "I have all healing spells I can attack in front if I want."
It took him 3 sec. to learn he brought all target other ally spells. Unfortuanetly, it took him much longer to learn he couldn't rush. Rez after Rez he would rush in. Finally he ctrl-clicked to let us know his DP was at -60% so we left him and did much better for it. Our protection monk who only brought 2 healing spells, Heal Other and Orison of Healing, did much better.
Note: I don't bash on monks, I love em and my 2nd character is a monk. However I do bash on dumbasses like that.

Most of my "n00b" experiences have been with people who insist they know the way, then promptly lead you on a glorious adventure in the wrong direction.
After a while you think something must be up and ask "Shouldn't we have made it somewhere by now?" which is promptly answered with "I dunno... got no idea where I'm going, roflcopter!!!" At times like that you don't know whether to laugh or cry
My other "n00b" experiences involve people opening trade windows with me randomly and typing with terrible grammar such as, "I sell shield.. 8k good deal.. you take plz." When I try to kindly say thanks, but no thanks, I'm answered with "you f'n n00b, dont know what a good item is... you suck."
A minute later I see someone else in the district saying "Who's this chump opening trade windows with me?" in the local channel.
Once again, should I laugh or cry?

In Ascalon City:
"I'll run you to the Great Northern Wall for only 50g!"
I replied with the directions and he sends me a whisper (amazingly he was semi-polite) "Don't tell them that, it's how I get all my gold."
"I'll run you to the Great Northern Wall for only 50g!"

Over at Port Sledge I remember this little chat I had
someguy: "I have 10,000 gold, need 5000 to buy my 15K set!"
me: "You're going to need about 60K more, they're worth 75K"
someguy: "Its called 15K armor for a reason! nub nub!" (yes, he spelled it 'nub', twice no less)
me: "Yes, its called 15K because its 15K a *piece*!"

When I first got to The forge, I said I wanted to buy 75 bolts oF cloth. And some dude replied:
"I WILL SELL IT TO YOU FOR 7.5K SINCE IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME HERE IN THE FORGE."
ANd I told him "Nice try. I knowpeople that will sell it to me to a 10th of that price."
and he said "Can't blame a man for trying."

Just a friendly reminder: Please stay to topic about "n00b"ish things people do and not how you managed to take advantage of someone's "newness". There is a world of difference.
And...I am such a n00b sometimes....I have been the victim of the Windows key more than I should admit.

The preying upon noob stories can actually be fun if you turnt he tables on them.
In presear Ascalon tonight, responded to a WTB Black Dye spam, wondering how much they would pay for it.
I had two people respond:
1 said name my own price.
second said he would give me 600g for it.
Responded to both of them saying that they go for much more after the Academy. First person never responded back, the second guy slowly started going up in price offering 2k. I never had any black dye to begin with, so I told him no thanks. Just fun to see how some people will react when faced with those who know more about the game.
