The Biggest Jerk You Ever Encountered in GW (no posting names)

There seems to be no end to the idiots in GW who piss me off. There's especially more of them on the weekends.

1) Don't complain about trade spam in the all chat of Ascalon, Droknar, War Camp, or Lion's Arch District 1. Either turn off the all chat channel, move to a different district, or RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO off!

2) When I say that I'm only paying 50k for something, I mean I'm paying 50k for something. If you offer the item for 60k, I will politely turn down your offer the first one or two times. The more you spam me, the more I want to bash your RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing head into the wall.

3) When I say I'm selling something at 100k, I don't need you retarded RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOers to tell me it's worth 50k. I don't care what Jaimie, Sally, David, Adam, Joseph, Richard, and their brothers and sisters and cousins are selling it at. I'm selling it at 100k so shut the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO up.

If you don't like my prices, buy your shit elsewhere. I don't need to cater to your every need. This isn't the damn customer service counter.

4) Because you are the only current player buying or selling whatever it is in that current district at that moment does not mean I must buy or sell to your defective ass.

My ignore list is filled up from the number of dumbRED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOs out there and I need to keep adding more.

I am very civil to those who are civil in return. However if people insist on being snot picking whiny little children I will not hold back on my vulgarity.

That's the real reason why I ask PieXags or someone from here to help me trade and sell items. I can't trust anyone that well in this game as much as I can on a few other ones...

People act like jerks on computers because they think there kool and/or tuff but let it go because we all know that...

1: 'Jerks' will only talk shit threw a computer because they know they cant fight in real life.
2: Most of them are only around 10 years old.
3: They are those kids who get picked on at school so they try to be tuff on computers.

very true, they cant do shit in real life, so they finding some sort of achievement in game.

but if u show them, you are better than them in game in certain areas, they will start to ask u to get a life.

What achievement? You are right on the 'get a life' thing but I just laugh at it because it makes them an Asshole + a Hipacrit

well for me, there is this guy say he had this game since launch and say himself to be very "pro" and calling me noob (i played this like 2 or 3 months).

but after my team win his team in random arena, i ask him why u pro die so fast? he keep on spamming, i need to get a life. and not playing guildwars 24/7.

In regards to 2: No, not really, most 10 year olds can't type fast enough to keep up with those of us who spend a great deal of time infront of a keyboard. They will however, make some very stupid and frustrating mistakes which the team (or their parent) might not think is funny, however, they're here to play a game and have fun, same as everyone else.

I can remember quite a few asses, but not peciffic convosations with them.. People that i think are asses fit into a few catagories:

Those that don't listen to the party leader and or just rush off and expect to be healed when they are four million miles away.

And as a monk, those that expect to be ressed immedietly after dying when a big fight rages around there corpse and the party is getting haggered:
"Ress Plz" "Rez plz" RES PLZ" - Errr... What res you and let the rest of the party die? Yeah good plan.....

And those that have a go at monks all time: Dont these people realise that managing your energy AND keeping everyone alive can get very difficult at times, and even if you go through an entire mission and do the job suburbly and near the end one of these asses die, they start screaming that your crap??? Two things, mistakes happen and sometimes your allready casting on someone or them and they take say 200dmg... What can you do?

Hmmm the biggest jerk I have ever met... would have to be in droknars forge. Me an a couple of other guys were fooling around, and one guy said touch me and win 100000000000000k, so I said the same thing, and a guy freaked out on me when I said I was just joking. He kept on messaging me for atleast an hour callling me a faggot, and kept saying that he would report me and I would lose my account.

Can anyone tell me what the hell the GORED ENGINE stuff is about.. i might just be being dumb and not working it out but someone please enlighten me

The forum scripts substitute every bad 4-letter word with the string "RED ENGINE GO", without a space-character at the end of GO.

marvlous thank you.

There wouldn't be any complaining if ppl used the TRADE channel.

ok, here's my jerk story, it kind of relates to the whole theory of having the best equips won't make you a good player in the game. it also conects to my peeve of people bringing elite skills to ascalon arena and thinking that they are 'teh pwn' becuase of it.


i'm in ascalon arena on a Me/N designed to hex the living hell out of a single target of my choosing using illusion hexes and curses, with no elite skills. i may have had skills from as far as adcalon settlement, but that was it, as well as wearing standard ascalon armor. anyway, some one from the opposing team puts in all chat: "attack me and die." well, i was curious about this guy, so i attack him. he focuses on me, and uses illusionary weapons. note that he was a Me/W with droks armor. well.... he didn't exactly kill me, instead he got - drain enchantment, soul barbs, conjure phantasm, phantom pain, energy tap, parasitic bond, another conjure phantasm and ether feast... well, it was some time ago, so i'm not sure if i actualy finished my combo, but regardless, he did die, retorting at me that if he saw me in the arena again he would kill me.

I totally agree, anyone who insults someone and then leaves before you can defend yourself obviously can't believe they are in the right and are just being a jerk. I get this a lot with my monk, who tends to be blamed by dead aggro magnets after they have pulled 3 or 4 groups of bad guys and promptly get nailed despite my best efforts

...or even their primary. The reaction I have had from some people from saying I have a couple of smiting spells has shocked me, I have even been kicked straight away from a couple of groups of jerks. I am careful to not let their use get in the way of my healing but I enjoy doing a bit of damage with my monk (especially vs undead with the double damage from holy magic ), and I don't see why I should reduce my enjoyment of playing because somebody thinks I won't do a good enough job

I agree wholeheartedly. People are trying to form groups, in LA for example, and all we see is the same half a dozen people, spamming numerous items over the local channel. It really is selfish and inconsiderate.

Anet did a good job in designing the Elona Reach mission. This is the real test to see if a player plays like an absolute jerk, or whether a player has patience and is willing to learn how to do things in a correct manner.

This mission is incredibly easy to do (without bonus at least). But everything that a person can do wrong in this game can be done here leading to failure. Failing to lure, attacking groups that don't need to be attacked, not going after healers first, and lack of teamwork. And of course the real key here is listening to someone who has done it before and who knows what path to take so that you don't have to fight the huge number of mobs in the middle.

This mission shows who the real "jerkey" players are. Good job Anet!

I am an example of this...if anyone insults me I respond with something like "I would normally quit if someone insults me but thats not fair on the other members of the team, one more chance". If it happens again I apologise to the other members of the team and make sure they know I'm leaving because of the insults before transporting out. Its harsh on the others but its the only way people will learn that there are repercussions for using bad language and behaviour. It doesnt bother me, I can find plenty of groups where everyone treats me with as much respect as I treat them

Just tried RoF with a half Guild / half PUG group. Everything was going okay until the pick-up Monk starts trying to give my Guild leader advice on how to be a good Monk (we had three Monks, myself, my Guild leader and this other guy). Basically, this other Monk thought he knew best and he didn't, and the whole group fell apart. Funniest part was, whilst my face was buried in the ground, this other Monk used the exact same skills that he'd said weren't effective.

Today, I was in tombs, and I wanted to get some quick faction/fame, so I wanted to make an EoE bomb. I put it in guild chat to see if anyone was interested. -no response-

Oh well, I thought, I'll make a PUG, explain how it goes, and after a few tries we'll get it going. It ended up taking about 45 minutes to get the group started. I had to repeat my skill bar 5 or 6 times and run through the whole thing each time. 1 time, after advertising 'Saccer Needed for 7/8 EoE bomb! whisper me for details,' I told the guy the build and he said he'd reroll and join up real quick.

He never came back. We were waiting for about 10 minutes for him and then we had to get another saccer, who also needed to reroll after I explained the build.

So finally, we have everyone there, all ready to go. I tell the group 'Please don't leave if we die a few times, it takes a couple times to master.' I hit enter mission and I'm greeted by a surprise. I tell everyone to take off their armor and use IoW, then put armor back on after the regen for extra health.' 5/6 saccers comply. I ask the last guy if he was going to do it and he says: "I don't have Illusion of Weakness." (actually he said "i dun have iow ;P").

But, luckily, we get past the ghosts and into the PVP. I told the R/Mo to call when he is using EoE and MoP (2 essentials for the build). He calls out EoE but he doesn't call the MoP so we don't know when to sac. He ended up dieing, and we lost. "No biggie," I said. "We'll get it next time." When I finish loading, it's only 7/8. After I had said repeatedly not to leave, someone did anyway.

Another member of the group said "I'll go to dist 1 to grab another one real quick." Unfortunately, the other members figured (I don't know why, because he said that in team chat), that the group was giving up and everyone could leave. It got down to 2/8 pretty fast. I told the last remaining guy to whisper me if he ever wants to run it for real, and he agreed, so at least I got something out of this.

God, I need a good guild.

koreans? last time i checked it was the Chinese who were doing this.

unless you can't tell one "asianese" language from another. give me a valid SS and i'll take it back.



oh yeah, did i mention that i'm a real jerk when it comes to anti-Korean nationalism? :P

but seriously, usually you go to augury int. for un-id'd golds. the farmers there (some of them are sweatshop farmers) usually offer the lowest price possible so they can get back to farming.

Biggest jerk so far has to be the Mesmer that accompanied us to FoW earlier tonight.
Everything was great in the beginning, completed first quest without any sign of trouble. Then all of a sudden our Mesmer is afk.. She didn't say anything, just all of a sudden she stopped moving, remained afk for a full 4-5 hours until everyone got tired and left the game. Prolly wanted fissure armor or something but didn't feel like doing the "boring" quests to get it.

Something very crucial to any good team is the monks (I can talk more pvp here). If there is any fighting between monks you are screwed. Give it up. Don't even bother going in. Kick out the trouble maker. Tell him/her they're being kicked so the group knows that sort of crap doesn't make it a fun run.

The monks are your backbone. They need to set skillbars together in an agreed way. As leader (non-monk) I ask only for some crucial skills (Spellbreaker, heal party, infuse health, shield of deflection, convert hexes, mend ailment, draw conditions, dual aegis, etc.) and let those guys work out who will take what. If they fight about it, step in, but generally you'll find they'll work it through together.
I hate setting fixed monk skillbars for monks, that's not on.

But back to the thread, Wammo's in comp. arenas will always remain the biggest jerks.

Did you try whispering her? I've seen this happen before, due to a wierd crash or disconnect. Had a guy go afk for an entire missions, we were so pissed off at him. But he whispered us hours later to say that his computer simply froze up and all he could do was watch. He was really sorry. 4-5 hours is a bit extreme, even for someone to go afk (normally at some point they turn their computer off). It could be some kind of crash or disaster at home happened. Its amazing to me how many people start cursing and cussing and calling out leaver when a party member suddenly disconnects. In many cases, it is due to an Err=7 disconnect.

I'm curious if you tried another tactic: instead of leaving the group, explain to the jerk so all can hear that you no longer will heal or resurrect him or her. And then do just that. I have done this as monk. I have told a party member directly that he might as well leave the group and map back to town because I no longer was going to heal or rez him.

amen... /signed

I've played the game for some months now, but up until last weekend I'd never felt it necessary to use my ignore list. I'd certainly seen jerks before but nothing that warranted special attention. And this was twice in the same day.

Playing with my mesmer, I wanted to capture a skill in the area south of the granite citadel. Not wanting to try to get past half of the stone summit army using Thom and friends I left from copperhammer. While just sorting inventory and about ready to set off I see someone making a group to go to granite. Since I was going most of the way up and it was on the way I figured it would be more fun (as usually is) to go with 3-4 real people. I make it clear before joining the group I want the skill and all seem happy but that's not the story. We leave, and the ranger dies practically instantly at the first set of imps. he complains a bit and I presumed he just got hit by a couple mind freezes in quick succession. Same thing happens with the next group of imps so the guy has 30%dp before we even reach the resurrection teleporter.

I notice the ranger is not wearing any chest armour.

That's not being a jerk, just idiotic (he gave some excuse about super runes, salvage etc - didn't care enough to pay attention). The jerk was the warrior who put the team together. None knew the way other than I, so I was asked to lead. I draw on the map the direction to go. I'm asked to lead again. "???". I draw on the map and type in, that where indicated is the direction to go. I can only speculate on what he expected. As a mesmer I'm not stupid enough (usually) to walk in front and get hit by everything the ice imps and golems throw at me. We continue for a very short distance and this repeats, so Jerk swears at me to lead in a whisper. Of course i'm pretty annoyed by this time and just say "once more and I'm leaving". Knowing he wouldn't find his way to granite even if someone gave him a rail ticket and a road map I feel this is pretty good. Sends me 5 whisper messages *ingore*, invite the single other character who was decent to meet me again in copperhammer and leave. With just 2 of us I got the skill and we made it to citadel.

Only thing that I wonder about is what was behind it. I can't see what he wanted that would create any psychological need to be such a jackass.

---

The second incident was much more pathetic and similar to another I've read in this thread. Iron mines mission on same day I make the grave mistake of putting together a group. Of course as mesmer if you don't start the group yourself you're going to be there for hours so I suppose I just got desperate. Eventually a monk responded to my request to do "the mission without running" and actually putting a fairly balanced team together was fairly easy after that.

Start mission and it goes ok until the second corner. The wammo charges into the mantle/mursaat after everyone had already walked past, so no excuse over just going the wrong direction. Can't remember if wammo died in this tactical maneuvre but everyone was a bit annoyed at it. Anyway, we move on. Wammo generally sticks to the plan for a bit but still plays like a lunatic and it's not unnoticed. Some of the group do get a bit abusive. Nothing I can do but try to calm it down and point out that for all things could have been better noone actually died, and shall we just get along with it. At the point after the catapults and the frozen (lake? pond) opposite the fort about half way up wammo complains about not being able to use adrenaline skills. Naturally one or two group members in jerk mode themselves offered helpful suggestions ("you can't use adrenaline skills because you're crap", etc). I point out i've seen a bug like that before with my warrior, it just doesn't show the flames rising but the skills are still charging. Wammo tests this and finds out my suggestion is correct. "Disaster averted" I think. In retrospect it's probably funnier that for a couple of seconds I thought they'd apologise for being wrong - that's a new definition of naive for you. But too late, and after another 30 seconds of tactical discussion where words like "noob" featured heavily wammo says he'll sabotage the mission, which is where the fun begins. They weren't exactly unprovoked in being annoying back to the wammo but I'm conviced if they'd just shut up and not tried to stroke their own egos, it would have all blown over.

First step, wammo walks into the first mursaat on the bridge (path towards the bonus, not infused yet of course). 3 die from just following him, which was frankly pretty stupid. We rebirth them, and leave wammo with the mursaat. Of course I know what's coming and I don't mean the channel spam, to which everyone I think added the guy to their ignore list for, or the pinging and drawing on the map. The problem is resurrection for the cutscene with the seer. 7/8 want to skip, no prizes for guessing who didn't. Problem is the spectral essence. I whisper to 2 people to try to grab the essence before wammo does. Fairly sure wammo had the plan already but no sense in making certain, and I didn't want to tip him off just in case his IQ really was comparable with trees. Kill the eidolon and we all fail to grab the essence.

Things look bad. I don't care about the mission anymore but I'll be damned if I don't foil this loser. I notice an Azure shadow we hadn't killed hanging back. I remember that dumb keg/gear trick from sorrow's furnace and invite the shadow to help us out. Short story shortened we got the essence back and get infused.

Then someone resses him.

Interesting story. But an interesting point: perhaps this is the reason for Anet implementing this "keg/gear/holy book/etc" trick: to allow the rest of the party to win back the necessary item from some jerk who insists on ransoming it or holding it for some other devious motive.

Mine was in PvP at droknors, we were waitng for a firend of ours when some ranger starts circling us asking to join, I said n owe were waiting for a firend. Then we got "you n00b, I pwn, I'd spike your ass you'd never get a spell off"
I replied with "1 v 1 I've not been killed yet with this build."
"n00b, I pwn."

At this stage our final member arrived & we entered the arena, guess who was on the opposing team ?
Guess who died by my solo efforts ?

Life is sweet sometimes.

HAHAHAHAHAHA hey caros !

I generally avoid meeting jerks, though I once got an ignore, from someone that started flaming me because I beat him with a ranger. He said I was being an uber noob by using the broken IVEX trapper build (my skill bar: Healing Spring, Serpent's Quickness, Spike Trap, Barbed Trap, Flame Trap, Drain Enchanment, Whirling Defense, Res Sig). So ok, I was using 3 skills that a premade uses. The same is true of pretty much every build... but he still hated me for it. And really, if you think the IVEX is broken, you're the noob... it's about as broken as an IWAY warrior. A monk can outlast any IVEX trapper using only 1 skill (a condition remover/something that regens faster than posion degens) and a wand/staff to interupt the traps...

----->I have an empty ignore list, yay<-----

The picture says enough. but il give you some explaination.

I need to do Thunderhead keep verry badly xD so i invited some friends alkath and on of her friends and for the rest nice players who all whanted to complete the mission except for 1 warrior. Who whas a bit too happy to do the mission he couldnt shut up and also rushed. annyways when whe where in the city Alkath lagged out no biggy right whell that Warrior kept on calling her a Fugger <---- i think that thats a clean word for F*cker?
annyways i couldnt take it so me and the friend monk left. Then when i got back at thunderhead that Warrior said to me that i called him a n00b and that i said shut up and that he whas gonna report me .
Whell alkath got back and told that warrior that he shouldnt report somebody for actually doing nothing. (i didnt do a thing) Whell he started screaming around the channel that i whas a leaver and that nobody should pick me.

10 ppl Pm,ed me that they know how i must feel and some even started to say that they where gonna report that basterd o.0 Annyways im gonna try Thunderhead keep again wish me luck with finding a good group and no leavers or jerks.

A Fugger was...

The Fugger family was a historically prominent group of European bankers.

its not coz of age people think others are 'noobs', its because generally people who are all "omg you stupid noob" either are young and immature, or ACT young and immature.

I have someone to put in here. I was just in a group that was going from Copperhammer to Granite Citadel. We grabbed the two healer henchies and went off. The group was good- encountered no problems. We get to the portal that goes to Grenth's Footprint. She walks in and says "Ok guys there's a trick. When we go back in, everyone die." Now from my experience if you die around there you will not spawn in front of Granite- which is what she said would happen. In my experience you start aaaallll the way in the beginning. Either way, I called bullcrap and ran through the stunningly hard one group that was in our way along with another necro. I was nearing the entrance and said "We made it- no need to die." She replied with "god just die noob". Of course, when we entered guess who was the first to leave? Eh this isn't as bad as some other stories but it still ticked me off.

Well I learned a little lesson tonight. I was making a trade with a guy named [removed]. He showed me 2 Eternal Shields. One was Req 8 (35K) and the other was Req 10 (25K). I told him I wanted the Req 8 and I put the 35K into the trade window. I know beyond all doubt is was 35K since we were at the storage and I withdrew it and had exactly 35K in my inventory. After the trade I had 0. After the trade was complete I realized he had given me the Req 10. I immediately told him. But he refused to give the right one back. He tried to sell me the 35K one again instead. After getting very angry at him he then insisted I only gave him 30K. OK fine, thats 5K more than what the Req10 was selling for. Then when someone interviened after I started spamming he had scammed me he insisted that I only gave him 25K. After that person left he tried to say I only gave him 20K. Finally another person stepped in and I said to heck with it and gave him 25K more for the Req8.

The bottom line here is...watch your trade window and make sure youre getting what you paid for.

The line below the bottom one....Dont buy from [removed]. Yes it was my mistake for not double checking, but he had the opprotunity to make it right and refused to do so.

Entertaining thread ... XD

One of the things I can't stand the most in this game are attention-whoring players who play for themselves and not the whole team. Yes, they may be better players than everyone else in the party, but who gives a flying [...]? We all know what happens when the team doesn't work as a unit.

A funny related story:

A couple of guildies (3-4) and I were trying to get a Thunderhead Keep run in. We made up the rest of our party with PUGers, including a nuker. From the get-go this nuker was scolded by the rest of the team for his wannabe-tank tactics. Of course, all the while that he was standing at the fringe of my radar tanking the next mob he was complaining about why he wasn't getting heals from myself and the other monk. When King Ironhammer opened the gate after we had cleared the city, I asked permission (on guild chat) to let the nuker die. And I did. And he did. We told him why he was dead. He left. We lost. But it sure was satisfying to watch him die (while knowing that I actually could have saved him that time).


It's amazing how many people are out there just to get a rise out of you. Kudos to everyone who has kept a cool head -- don't fuel the fire!

Sorry to say Destiny Soul, but you're story is kinda making me laugh.
I could imagine u paying another 25 k and getting another 10 k REQ shield..

But the biggest jerk i met so far was my fomer best friend(In real life as well)
He had to move to a new town, cuz of his fater getting a new job etc..

We, both playing GW, were in the same guild off course.
I wanted to take some people in slowly and learn them how 2 play, like i did with him and other friends(all he does is searching builds on the internet and play without chaning anything in it, copying stats/skills everything..)

So we had like 9 active members(online every day for 1 hour+)
Every1 reaching Perdiction Rock in 3 day's etc.
But yeah, we toke some noobs in(but they were friends of us IRL too), and we thought them how to play.

Off course he wanted the guild to expand even more, and lotsa faster as well.

I was saying like, let these *name of 2 friends* how to play first, so we can demand new GOOD PvP players.(Cuz in my oppinion, u can't demand a new guildie to be good, if the players init arent good atm..)

My way of getting new players is like, doing Team Arenas(or some1 i meet in CA(26secutive wins) watch more chars than one at least, and then ask if they are interested to join etc. Skillfull+Manners

Hey kept going on about fusing with another guild because we needed more players etc, i explained that i didnt just wanted 10 random people in our guild because I was kinda building the guild. Since he was my best friend, he knew my pasword, got on my account, and deleted all my chars(And i had 4 PvE chars which i used for PvP as well. Gladly i didnt lost my faction etc, but i did lost my 2 FoW armor sets. I messaged him, he said then disbanded our guild(kicking everyone) and join the guild he wanted to fuse with. They didnt reach further than kryta, while we were rank6+(without iway) and earned more over 150 k faction, and all had more than 3 chars which had completed the whole game..

Out of sight, out of heart? Nah, keep hating him..

LOL! Do this every time! Its amazing how many players I meet who 1) insist on tanking or placing themselves directly in the line of fire when they do not have the class or build for it and 2) complain about not getting healed or healed enough by the party monks. Please everyone, let them die and learn! When I play monk and I see someone in my party has suicidal tendencies, I tend to stop healing him/her, not only to show them a lesson, but simply for the practical reason of energy conservation: I can't afford to use up all my healing energy on someone playing stupidly.

Very entertaining was playing with an elementalist in FOW who kept running and running around in circles, trying to avoid all the enemy that constantly were chasing her. And this was the first elementalist I encountered in FOW which didn't die even once! People playing spellcasters forget that they have to move their butts and run rather than take a stance and get pounded to death.
