Elix Cantero's story is an excellant reason why some sort of "kick party member" button should be implemented (with safeguards against abuse of course).
But Elix, why did your party put up with that? Rather than going through with the mission with that jerk, an option would have been just to restart the mission without him. This game is all about having fun (its a game, right?) and it must be more fun to restart with the group without him rather than continue with him.
Once it was obvious he was trying to sabotage the mission, you could have either all agreed to map back to the mission start and reform the group, or maybe better, let everyone die so the group gets returned to the mission start as a group, then kick the jerk.

Same thing happened to me as in Elix's story my second time doing hell's over again with my monk.
A friend monk of mine and I were doing it just for fun and whadya know, we get an idiot wammo..
So we get to the basin and he's aggroing everything, but we let him die, IT'S RIGHT BY THE LAVA!
So I have my friend breeze me, I run all the way in, rebirth this spamming, pulling like crazy warmo... and poof.
he explodes, both his body and his temper.
He flips out spamming and such and my party just can't get enough of it...
We eventually just went on and finished mission, slightly annoyed that this dead useless warmo would get credit for the win but...
Right as we get to the ****last enemy on mission****, he disconnects.
it was beautiful. thankyou always and forever, er7.

Last night, I joined a group that was headed for the forgemaster. I had my 120 ectos, 120 shards, etc. -- there was a lot of hydra blood on my hands -- and I was ready to finally buy my FOW armor. I already felt a little silly since I have explained to anyone who would listen since this game started that buying the armor was dumb. But I have almost everything else that I need (in game only, I am still eager for a Ferrari) so I changed my mind.
The group did OK and it was clear that we'd get our armor.
Then, toward the end, one of the monks begin to complain that the drops had been terrible for him. It seemed like normal chat the first few times. Then he started mentioning that he might leave because of his drops. We laughed it off.
Everyone had been clear - when the group formed, that members should not join if there was any chance that they'd have to leave. But, he began complaining in earnest after a while and it was clear that he really was leaving.
Then his hints turned into a request ... he would stay if he was paid off. The other warrior - and I don't blame her, I might have done the same thing - offered him a few shards and ectos.
I was steamed but kept quiet since - selfishly - I wanted my armor too.
Within moments after the payoff agreement the ghost died. I was heartsick on one hand, but also sort of pleased that the monk wouldn't get his bribe. My guess is that the other healer - the one who wasn't going to be paid - got hacked off and stopped healing.
I can live with leavers, they make me mad but it's just the way things are. But for someone to engage in extortion ... that seems really low.

Ok. Here is my Biggest jerk story and I hear it every single day i'm logged on. First, the explanation. I play an axe warrior named Big Blue Steel, my wife plays a sword/axe warrior named Little Blue Steel. You see where this is going, right? Invariably, some dipwad (usually in Tombs) pm's me with something like "She's gonna be mad you're ripping off her name!" (Speaking of LBS, of course.) My reply is usually something like "Ummm, you do know she's a he, right?" Which then leads to being cussed at yada, yada, yada. So, what's a fella to do? I'm not changing my name (I'm in the Air Force, get it? Big Blue Steel? Airplanes?) Maybe I should have named myself Big Blue Titanium, but it didn't have the same ring to it. Besides Big Blue has been around since the day GW came out albeit as a PvP Char. (I'll switch him to PvE soon, just gotta finish getting my Mes thru the game. 2 accounts, 4 Chars done, 1 almost and then Steel can fight his way thru. So, suggestions? Comments? Any new or better replies for these people who cannot mind there own beeswax? Should LBS and I fight it out for the right to the name? (Jk, although I am curious. Sword war against a TF/Poison Axe war? Hmmm. Bet that thread is already here somewhere. lol.) Anyway, just thought I would share my rant.-Steel
LOL I love it. My husband and I have similar things happen to us to. For example, the usual self absorbed warrior(not all of them I know) comes up to us and whispers to him how sexy his female monk is with her 15k wanderers armor. Its funny also when I get ticked from people drawing um..."stuff" on the minimap and they dont stop after being politely asked to do so, we both end up leaving. Sometimes it makes people behave once they realize that they will lose both their monks.

Well this guy wasn't really a jerk but it was kind of amusing and what he was doing was really jerk offish!
In presearing this guy stood in Foible's Fair for like 3 hours screaming WTB BLACK DYE FOR 1000GP
I was leveling my character using the ele mission bug so I was at it for a while and I got in a fight with him after about an hour of him doing this.... he called me a noob and showed me 2 black dyes....
I than returned at periods of about 15min each...each time checking in with him....by the end of the day he had 8 black dyes.... 8 scammed new peopl that will hate guild wars when they find out how much it is....
What a bastard!

Wow, theres alot of posts
Well, i'm a Warrior who uses Mending in PvP, and i'm good at what I do. Sometime si have good night sometimes i have bad nights.
One night, it was me, two guildies, and a random guy doing Team Arenas. If i remember he was a Mo/Me.
Me: *Slaps mending on before the round starts*
Jerk: "OMFG, u noob, don't put mending on urself."
Me: "I'll make you eat those words."
So then we won the round, and despite my intense dislike of the Monk/Mesmer whom i had to save repeatedly during the round, i decided to keep going. I never died once, although one of my guildmates died once and the Mo/Me died three or four times, AND i was the one to ressurect him and help him get to safety.
So after the match, i say to him:
Me: "Well we won, see, did you change your mind about W/Mo's who use Mending in PvP?"
Jerk: "ur right, i did change my mind."
Then the next round starts and the map loads in and i see:
Jerk: "I changed my mind about fighting with this n00b team."
Player Jerk has left the game.
So remember, if you get owned as a Tanker, don't blame it on the Monks, and if you own everybody else, then they can't complain about it anymore.

ps. Am i now the biggest jerk in the game?

Straying slightly off topic, but when i play in random arenas, almost every group i join has this W/Mo with mending. Each time, i politely ask them 3 questions: How long have you been playing Guild Wars, why are you using mending, and did you know that mending is possibly the worst skill in the game?
For some reason, whenever i say that the rest of my team either "lols" or supports the mending user, so i guess ill be in one of these "biggest jerk" stories soon.
I still dont understand it however, they always say "I've played for quite a bit of time", "Mending seems really cool/nice/works well" and "umm ok" as the answers to the 3 questions. Ive given up really...
