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

According to the latest poll...im the biggest jerk!

I'm now suffering with a 170 hour ban because somebody felt they could use vulgar terms to describe the Australian people, i retaliated......then another 3 people joined in......i retaliated again.......add some more people, add some more retaliation........then i get banned for 6 days

emailed support & basically it doesnt matter who is in the right or wrong.....it's all about the number of reports you get against your account for the same offence.

so be carefull people, even if somebody is full of HATE & totally racist......as long as there is more of them......you lose.

so i guess that will make me the biggest jerk as i will NEVER use ingame chat EVER again & i know that will piss ALOT of people off.....however dont take it personally.....i just like the game too much to want to get banned ever again

all emotes from now on......

/sigh

/ponder

/yes

/goteam

/wave

i don't remmeber most of the jerk's i've seen but i've seen a few.

Like another user had, we were playing pvp (jsut started with my 2nd char [Mo/Me, with droks armour]) in the ascalon arena [lvl 10 or below]. My monk was healing, running, healing, i took a bit of flack but i always got to my dead teammates in time to rez them [we had 1 afker too] eventualy we had them so they we leaving, but i still had this warrior chasing me shouting "OMG STAND STILL U NOOB, YOU RUN YOU NOOB FIGHT ME BITCH", to which i responded "I'm a monk.....i heal.....i don't fight...that's what the others do...so shhhh". Eventually the warrior and ranger on my team cought the warrior n killed him...we won...all we got were "OMG NOOBS YOU DIDNT FIGHT YOU RAN" *team laughs* i reply "well we ran yeah...but we won...all braun no brain i see" "OMFG YOU NOOOOOB" <--- he leaves

second one i encountered was in one of the wilds missions [one with the crystals n the portals]i was on my 3rd char [Wa/Mo with 15k glad's armour, knights boots and platehelm, a nice max dmg chaos axe too] this "monk" (i use the term lightly) was in my team. We must have been about a quater of the way through and i said i could offer him some advice with his monkage, i asked him if he had heal party as it's a very useful skill....to which i got..."I AM NOT A NOOB I KNOW WHAT IM DOING"...me "well obviously you do, as im the only warrior taking the dmg n im not gettin healing..yeah great job...-.-"..."RIGHT IM NOT HEALING YOU NOOB"..neadless to say he/she/it stuck to their word..i was not heald and had to rely on crappy mending and heal sig..luckily my armour helped. We failed the mission [nobody could follow the simple 2 on the crystals other fight method T_T] none the less and returned to the outpost. "yeah you know what your doing....nice one -.-"...*leaves party*..then in public chat i see "LOOKING FOR PARTY NO [insert my name]"..."wtf?" "STFU U NOOB YOU SUCK"..."sure and not healing me doesn't"..."IF YOU WANT A CRAP WARRIOR PICK [insert my name]"..."ffs if you healed me then that mission would have worked, don't blame me for you incompatdence"........

T_T sheesh

Ah yes - the Ws without snares and sprint but with lots of healing breezes and mendings. ^^ That's what I like in PvP. ;-)

Poor monks are a problem too. Monks were really scarce at a certain time, but when everybody realised that you can farm with them and you will always find a party we are facing a kind of monk-overpopulation nowadays - though I wouldn't actually call it an verpopulation as GOOD monks are just as scarce as they used to be. ;-)

How can ANet know? They're not psychic. Don't retaliate and take screenshots. ANet deal with abusive individuals - as you found out - so they will take action if you report people. Plus you were rather foolish for pouring petrol on the fire.

lol screenshot is your friend use it if you dont its only yourself to blame.

I usually just ignore the jerks and can pleasantly say that I haven't really run into that many. I usually just ignore them if they start swearing or "gay" this and "faggot" that all the time. I just count them up as trying to get a rile out of people, or being immature teens who will someday learn. In either case, you can't ever get anywhere arguing with them.

The biggest jerk I did find so far was when going through an ascalon mission with my third character, Ranik I believe. He was a lvl20 MM "helping" with the mission. He summoned somehwere around the neighborhood of 15-20 minions, then left the mission without a word. This of course caused the minions to lose their bond and turn on us killing us most agressively.

Could he have just lost internet connection? Possibly, but he didn't show any of the typical signs before hand.

I have meet a lot of 'jerks' in this game...a ton of guys who tell me they are around the age of 40 and want to know if ill take off my armour and dance naked for there character. Those are mainly sickos who get off to a character on a game...scary if you ask me

Another was a runner that said he was running us to drokners forge and to pay 1k upfront beacuse he gets scammed, I didn't pay but everyone else did and what made me so angry is i kept saying in our team chat don't pay ANYTHING up front and no one listened to me, then everyone cried to me afterwards that they had gotten scammed.

Another Drokners experiance I had was when i posted in All chat that I wanted someone to test run with me to rankor, mainly to clear off my map and get an idea of what it is like, a level 12 elementalist pm's me and says i can run you, im a great runner - pay 1k right now though so i simply said look if you are going to scam by calling yourself a runner be a w/mo at least, so then she runs over to my character and says 'well at least i have style...' so then i reply with 'well at least im a level 20 runner and i can actually make money without scamming for it'

I consider anyone that doesnt pay what you ask for a run a jerk, beacuse they know the price and then they try to get out of it. So lots of jerks on this game, but luckily lots of nice people out there to

This guy is a serial MM rapist.

Either you and I were on the same mission, or he does it regularly. I've heard a few other people complain about the same thing as well. It is apparently a hobby of his. When starting a new char, I tend to avoid lvl 20's in my group in the early missions, unless i see they are helping a guildie.

Some of the posts in here are kind of jerkish in themselves really i.e. describing some people(s) as jerks because they just aren't as good in the game as you or are doing something you don't always agree with... that's different from being deliberately irritating and annoying and a real jerk

lord pun|shment not to belittle your experience, but the best thing is just not to respond as invariably it just makes the whole thing worse* (as you discovered) just take screenshots and mention they're being reported if you want, but don't fight fire with fire... a side
note: the game is rated 12+ (at least in the UK, I don't know what it is in Aus/elsewhere?)

edit: *invariably because it's the internet, and people hide behind anonymity. If it was real life people wouldn't be quite so like this as you could literally punch them, but online there's nothing you can personally do about it except report it (in this game) and leave it at that, otherwise you just stoke it up and stress yourself out even more for no real gain; hope that helps.

We may have been in the same mission.

I don't really have a problem with lvl20s helping as long as it isn't a necro, because there can be inherent danger there. No other class can cause you to die from them leaving.

There is always the possibility that they will just leave, and leave you a party member short, which sucks, but that can happen with any group.

I personally like to go through the ealier missions with my 20s because it helps me to memorize them. When I did my first character, I did everything the long way, and as an elementalist you usually just wind up following everyone else around and shotting at red dots when needed. So I never really learned what needed to be done in mission.

It also helps if I am looking to do a bit of guild recruiting. That way I get to see people in action a bit and learn their personalities.

It is important when dealing with 20s at early missions, before you enter, that they understand there is no fee being paid, or tips. I usually form the party myself so don't run into it that often.

Oh boy do I have a new one to add ...

There is a small group of friends (myself, Ranger Foxxy, Sniper, and Lady Greensleeves) that always 4-man trap the UW. We do it nearly every day, it's great fun, good bonding experience ... fun banter like "i'm using lint trap!" and the like. Good times.

Well, the other day one of us wasn't online, for whatever reason, so we ask in public chat for a trapper for a smite run, etc. A guy joins, and off we go (without charging him anything for entrance, i might add). Now we asked spirits, and set up who was pulling beforehand, told the pick up that foxxy was pulling, etc.

We get the first group of bulls, then the second. The pick up is complaining about foxxy's pulling (one of the bulls got stuck, but we got him. nobody died.) and we assure him that she is very skilled and we've done this many, many times.

At the group near the top of the center stairs, the pick up says "sorry, GTG" and we all say "why did you come if you knew you had to leave? You want us to wait for a few minutes?" I mean, things come up, we all were nice about it, we're very understanding people. Then he says "you suck, I GTG" and proceeds to go and activate the quest that releases the grasping darkness swarm. *THEN* he doesn't even log out yet, he gathers them all up and pulls them to us and then logs. We barely manage to live with some careful aggro management, and I PM him (as he was still online)

me: "that was really not very nice at all ... we all lived, no thanks to you."
jerk: "I don't care, you guys are stupid"
-player jerk is ignoring you-

It's times like these I wish we could post in-game names, I was really pissed at this guy. I mean, it's one thing to be a quitter, and quite a whole other level of asshattery to attempt to kill your party intentionally before you leave.

yeah i know about the rating, however the reason i originally got all the preorder kits was because i had such a wonderfull experience in the BWE, nice people, nice atmosphere.....my kids had fun 2 once a month the whole family would load up & beta test....good times.

nowdays its diff, we own all these accounts, its not all that friendly & the atmosphere is one that is slowly deteriorating......i said what i said in my 'deleted' post for a reason, but to preserve this post i will not repeat them.

.....all that needs to be done is have in-game moderation....no more of this reporting crapola.

...nuff said

3:57am, lol, night

CC Shards are useless as is the other junk, but candy canes are VERY nice since they remove all DP.

One of the worst times I encounted a jerk like that was at the ascalon arena where I was using a lvl 2 mesmer just out of pre-sear (lol I know but I was bored) anyway I ended up in a group with two wars and a monk when we started an Elementist spent the whole waiting peroid shouting "OMFG NOOB LVL 2" "YOU SUCK IM GUNNA KILL YOU" "GET A LOAD OF THIS NOOB" and stuff like that so when the match started I thought "Right im not taking this!" so I killed him with one backfire and danced on his dead body... Our team went to do 27 consecutive wins that day and I got to lvl 3

Thunderhead keep, we just started the mission. The one W/Mo on our team pretended to be AFK and does absolutely nothing. We knew he was still there because he skipped the cinematics =.=

We successfully finished Mish + Bonus anyways

This is my first post on these forums. Hey all.

I simply do not allow people like you describe above to get away with it. I don't care if I have to spend time putting another team together. When I see someone AFK leeching, I tell everyone I'm leaving and encourage them to do the same. Usually most of the people will leave with me. Only once did I have someone curse me out for leaving. But I refuse to enable people who leech. That's just giving them reason to keep doing it.

My Guild Leader just kicked me out becuase I couldn't explain to him that I was helping my friend setup Ventrilo while I was Alt+Tabbed from Guild Wars and had Ventrilo muted.. He even got a full group while I was doing it.

He was mad at me for not responding. He even already had a full group (with guests) within the 5-8 minutes it took me to setup my friend's Ventrilo (he thought he had uninstalled it by mistake so we had to go and download Ventrilo again and all this).

He also booted me becuase I wouldn't leave me friend to join his GvG game (I had been planning all day for us to play his (my friend's) first GvG). Like I'm going to ditch my friend of 12 years for an angry Frenchmen whose calling me names becuase I'm not an octopus.

What a nice guy.

Not to mention the fact that to join his guild, I had to give mine away for free that cost, in total, 31k.

I cant stand Jerks who try to tell you what to do and how to run your character. I'm sorry if my bonder build isnt exactly the same as yours and you can kiss my hairy rear end if you think It sucks because it hasn't failed me yet. I encountered the aforementioned jerk during an Oro run. He originally started by assuming I was an e-bayer (which I'm not).

Jerkmonk: Is that a +5 energy sword
Me: yup
Jerkmonk: How much did you pay for it
Me: Nothing, someone gave it to me
Jerk: Yeah right. I bet you bought it. I bet you paid for it by buying money online. People who buy money online are noobs.
Me: Yeah, Ebayers are lame. But I didn't buy anything online. I work hard for my gold.
Jerk: Me too, I have 900K and I farmed it all. You must be a noob ebayer coz of your retarded fow armor.

Sigh. Then it gets better:

Jerkmonk: WTF You don't have life att? LEARN TO BOND NOOB
Me: Ive used it before and i figured its just a waste of space. We dont really need it if YOU heal properly. And besides, this build hasnt failed me and no one has died yet.
Jerkmonk: *whinewhineprofanitywhine* I can Bond 100% better than you noob!
Me: Then why aren't you bonding?

At this point there was more noobcalling and my other teamates were nicely asking us to stop arguing. I apologized to them and told them I didn't want to deal with the asshat in question.

Then he messaged me, called me a noob and went offline before i could respond. Wow. How mature.

I wish there was a way I could reach thru the screen and throttle the brat.

that's why i ALWAYS play offline these days =)
if they want to talk shti, they can do it out in the open

I just wanted to add that it's kinda sad that this thread is still here and have reached 1000+ replies...

too true sirelricthemad, I hate people who insist if you don't have this exact build, with points distributed like that, then you can get lost. Just one of many reasons I don't play with anyone I don't already know now. One of my friends (a W/N/E/Me depending on where he is ) farms SF with 5man PUGS sometimes, and he was telling me one night about this 'decent leader' he got.

Apparently "he asked tanks what elite they used and if it wasn't one of three, they got kicked". I just said to him wtf? you think thats decent? Someone could have found a tank elite that beats the crud out of all others if used with the right skillset but noooooo. lol. No one cares if your build works, or if you're confident using it, you must use this skillset that you're not used to and therefore probably won't be able to time right!

I think I'm somewhat of a jerk on the rare occasions that I attempt CA. I'm the usual W/Mo...

OMG Stop running and take it like a man!
SUper PWNED!

and all that good stuff, I promptly told myself I would never PvP again, then the snowball arena came and I broke that promise, now it's back on again.

OMG Stop chasing me and let me cast all my degen on you!

10 year olds aren't allowed to play the game. Report him.

Had a jerk experience last night, with poetic justice.

I've played many hundreds of hours of PvE, have unlocked the majority of Elites (across all professions), and recently decided to get involved in PvP. So I'm playing my Ranger and trying to get into a group at Tombs. I see someone advertising forming a Ranger Spike group and send a self-invite.

Someone (not the leader) asks "What Rank is Everyone?". I fess up and say bluntly "0", while the others say things like "3" or whatever. I go on to say "I'll just go now then", knowing where this discussion is going. But someone (the Jerk) takes the opportunity before I leave to say something like "U N00B". I was tempted to send a scathing retort, but held my tongue.

So this nice group (non Ranger spike) looking for a Ranger takes me in and takes the 2-3 minutes to explain what build they want from me. And we're off.

Everything is peachy - we're doing well and I'm earning my first few Fame points. In the second round of our second run I notice we're facing the Ranger spike group with the Jerk. (I recognized the leader name.) We rolled over them in a matter of minutes.

If only I could have remembered the Jerk's name and sent him a choice whisper....

Actually, not true. It's just that their parents have to open the accounts for them. (And be responsible for them.)

:lol: too true!

That happened to me when I was diong the Wilds Mission with my E/R. We had a lvl 20 MM on our team, and we were doing pretty good, but the MM suddenly leaves us with around 15 minions. Of course, I didn't notice right away because I was in the back casting. Our wammo and other necro suddenly die and Im like "WTF" Then, there are minions all around me and I die. Mission failed because everyone left at the same time.

Man I hate that mission. 3rd failed run so far.

How's this for fun. we're going to the fissure of woe, and I'm a ranger. I decide to bring my pet (a spider) and be a beastmaster (mistress?) proper, and take 16 BM, attacks and so forth.

For those of you unfamiliar with Beast mastery, I basically turned myself into another warrior which doesn't get a death penalty. Call of Protection also gives my pet a -15 ((IRRC) Base armour reduction at 16 beast mastery. In layman's terms, it turns your pet into a tank. As for damage, a 16 BM with a level 20 pet does easily as much damage as a swordsman.

One warrior laughed when he found out I was a BM, calling me a n00b and an idiot and so forth.

Fast forward to the fissure. This very same person is invariably the first person to die (why do they INSIST on attacking with SS on them?) and my pet's rampaging. And he's still calling me a n00b. Got to the stage where the monks healed the pet over him.

Out of curiosity, do monsters cast ss on pets too? and if they do, how would you know?

if they did cast SS on the pets, you'd know if there was a Hex icon by their health bar. and if they were taking damage each time they attacked.

haha, that reminds me of all the W/mo jerks I 've met in CA.

Once i was on my lvl 17 mesmer, which of course as you know everyone loves in CA. On the map where you have to get the most kills some W/Mo 20 thinks he wants to make me his bitch and rushes me. All sorts of profanities start spouting out out him, noob, f*ing mesmer, low level noob, etc, etc. So I Empathy + Phantasm. He frenzies. Steal some hp then some energy. I'm bleeding w/ deep wound. Plague touch + plague touch + empathy, then chuckle as the w/mo beats himself to death on me. Then he calls me a stupid noob, and if we didn't have a monk he would have pwned me. Funny thing is that the monk never healed me once.

Of course as soon as the w/mo 20 is rezed he rushes me again. Our monk had just died. Empathy + Phantasm + Deep wound. He goes down even quicker and even has the nerve to try to run away in the end!

OMG, I HATE wars who run!
Once on my poison/interrupt ranger I was the last one left in arena, no more res sig. vs 2 wars, 1 w/ full hp, 1 w/ 1/4 hp. Poison + distract on heal sig + throw dirt + plague touch + whirling def. And the stupid name calling, ranger pwning Wars start running! Vampiric gaze ftw! I think the saddest part is my party was amazed/impressed when i won.


OMG, Stop running and take it like the chickensht warrior you are!

I won't even go into the w/mo/r's I've had to heal in UW who run away to behind the casters from the aatxes in order to use healing sig or troll ungent. sigh... I just stop healing them..

Yes, but as a general rule they don't bother with the pets; the ai appears to have them as a low priority.


...suckers. >:P

Well - as for running - it can be really annoying.

I remember a team in Tombs that just stood there with their crappy builds and called us names because of "psychological warfare" I guess. We were a Ranger Spike team, so we didn't rush in. In fact, we've killed some guys that left the formation at regular intervals till around half of the other team had died at least once.

Finally they decided to attack us in some chaotic mess while we were pulling off our spikes.

In the end 2 members of the team were left (some W/Mos -.-) and started running away calling us names as we just stood there and said we wouldn't be interested in chasing them.

Well - we DID chase them in the end, cause we got a bit bored by the insults of the dead members and scored our flawless vicotry. And the other team laughed about us that we killed them in over 18 minutes...

Weeell - a flawless victory against a team that was hardly doing anything useful to win except for running REALLY has much to brag about. Sure - we might have rushed into them with spikes, but we were training a bit of coordination and PATIENCE with my guildmates. =)

Here a little while back I decided to start a second character. My husband and I both made new characters and got to post-seared ascalon. Well at this point my husband decided he wanted to start a monk so off he goes back to pre. Two of my friends and guildies had started new characters a little while before me and we decided to wait for my hubby to get to post and all of use go questing together. So the three of us are sitting in a rather deserted ascalon just talking and goofing around until hubby gets there. They are also females IRL and were all female characters. Im a mes/ele and they are both ele/monk. They both went afk to get something (they are sisters and in the same house). So theres three females all married having fun. This guy runs up to us and starts calling us f*gs. I asked him why he thought that.

Him: look at you your all gay you dumb noob your all chicks your so lame.
Me: umm thats because we really are females IRL.
Him: what ever f*g stfu dumb noob
Some random guy: dude they cant be f*gs if they are girls lmao
Him: whatever I know your really guys playing as girls dumb f*g
(he is standing right beside me as a female ele)
Me: umm ok so if were f*gs for being female chars....then what does that make you?
Random guy and his guildie: omg lmfao
Him: whatever f*gs (leaves town).


Another one Hubby and I were trying to get a group for FoW. I don't remember the exact team build but there was hubby w/mo me n/mo two healer monks another tank and i dont remember the rest. So off we go. The monk decides to run ahead and aggro everything then brings them all back imanaging to avoid our tanks (it looked like he did this on purpose) and takes them straight to the other monk myself and other ranged chars. The tanks type wtf and try to run to us asap to try to help.Now hes running around lost all aggro and then stands there doing nothing except yelling at the other monk to heal us. everyone of course dies and back in town he proceeds to cuse us out because no one did thier job the tanks didnt keep aggro off us and the other monk didnt heal us. So we decide to get a full team and try again (obviously we were replacing him and the few who left during the run out of frustration). He then tries to re-join our group and when we deny him he says to everyone not to join cause we all die too easly....

Last one

Again trying to get a group for FoW we made sure to specify FoW. All we needed was one more monk and whatever else we could find. So a monk self invites and we accepted just happened he had another monk with him were thinking cool jackpot this shouldnt be too bad. Were all discussing skills and making sure everyone knew what was going on and had the skills they wanted...all the sudden were all in UW going wtf. Both monks were 55s and started aggroing everything. We all knew what they were doing at this point and we were all very p*ssed. so of course people start to die...luckly i always have rebith on and start rezing asap. Somehow we all manage to kill what was there and survive. and off they go again but this time we all stayed back in the begining chamber. They ran headfirst into two nightmares and a few atexes. Enchants got removed and they both died. We all were all laughing at this point. So they start yelling at me to rez them and of course i refused...not long after they both left the game...we didnt do to good and died shortly after but at least we were able to beat them at their own game.

This guy wasnt a jerk to me, but I still feel he had a attitude that overly stated JERK or scammer. You decide.

Beacons Perch. I just get there after completeing the Frost Gate mission. THere are the usual "LFR to Droks" and "running to Droks! Pay X at this point" and so forth.
All seems fine, until this guy jumps in.

"RUNNING TO DROKS! 7 MINTUES, GARUNTEED! 12k!"

I'm thinking, that sounds too fast for a run to droks plus WAY overcharging.
So I call him out on it. Other do so too. He types in a web address and tells us to go there and watch the video. Then he leaves.
I dont bother with the link. I wont take the risk of downloading something I dont want or seeing something I dont want to see.

Well maybe not the biggest but one of the funniest

This hapened in Lion's arch pvp arena yesterday

There was the mesmer girl on our team, along with me (warrior) and 2 necros. When I saw the girl emote the wolf (rank 6) emote before, I suspected one of those show-offy pvp people. Well I was right. She started off by calling one of the necros on a team retarded for wearing some christmas stuff. After we lost the match 10-11, she said that we all sucked and to never come back again. If that was eough, back at the arena entrance, she was once again showing off her wolf emote. These are the type of pvp people I really hate, the type who think losing one game means the end of the world, and that they're the best pvp guy ever.

Sometimes I wish we had moderators for towns/districts (PvE and PvP) to keep the jerks out. Anet should like designate the moderator positions to trustworthy and respected players in the game. They'll keep the place fun and positive. Leaving out all the negative players.

But I guess it's up to us and everyone else to help shut these a**holes up and leave everyone alone.

/Pumpkin Boy mode
/roar

This has been mentioned in another thread, that people are starting to do this ... just so they don't have to pay entrance to UW. That's really tacky, so here's what you do (someone else suggested this, so I can't take full credit):

If you suspect that someone is going to be a 55 monk and try to take you for a ride, have anyone else in your party that's either monk primary or secondary bring Vital Blessing ... cast it on them if you see them acting up, +alot of HP, poof. there goes the 55 build. now more like the 200-300ish build, and "zomg i just got killed!". Sooooo dastardly
