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

I have a new one from last night.
Tried putting together a group for Ring of Fire.
Got a team setup, went in, got as far as the ettins then got overwhlemed and died. No biggie. Needed to vary up player classes better anyway.
Second time in, everything seemed fine up until the very first hill.
The second ranger kept using Quickening Zephyer.
I wasnt paying attention to it, at first, but one monk pointed out not to use it since it made skills cost more energy.
Made a note asking player not to use it.
Just before the first Tower seal, player used QZ again. The monk that complained about it left, and another player complained that the monk that left was a pain.
I'm left there standing, wondering at the self centeredness of some people. Both monks were doing a great job, but due to one persons percived value of skill that hurt us more than helped we kept getting out butts kicked every few feet. Mainly due to the fact that we kept running out of energy...and that the ranger wanted to use traps on the barbed traps on the jades.

Heres the newest. After several failed attempts to do the tombs thing we got a decent group. Got all the way to the last map and we were discussing stratagy...one of the guys runs up aggros three groups of enemies getting us all killed and then says...."so tired". We were all very pissed...I mean if your tired fine leave the game but don't ruin the quest for all of us. Still havent had a sucessful run :0( we keep getting close but...never fully able to finish the last room. Oh well. time to keep trying.

I have a jerk story with a twist. We (Me, Savio, Carinae, Las, and some others) were doing a Tombs run and were suiciding due to a bad start, and I took off my armor to die quicker, except that I accidentally dropped my black 15k Major Vigor Gladiators laggings on the ground, needless to say we only noticed it after everyone was dead and the ''Return to Outpost'' button was at the top of the screen. At least some niced people helped me out .

(BTW, I consider myself the jerk ;( )

^^ man that's awful ... accidentally did the same sort-of thing with my stormbow once, while farming ettins (I like to take a random junk item and toss it on the ground where I set the traps) and accidentally tossed out my stormie instead of the junk item ... I died and was half a second away from mapping back to beetletun when I had a second thought to look at what was on the ground ... glad I walked all the way back to where I was from the Res shrine.

Biggest "jerk" I ever had verbally attacked me because of comments here on the board. There was a discussion about having "religous" guilds in game and this great individual was upset because I'm a Christian. So I log in and within 2 minutes he begins flaming me worse than I've ever seen. Profanity, name calling, and general bashing abounded. I politely said "thank you" and then blocked him. Took a screen shot and sent it to Anet
He's still the only person on my blocked list!

The biggest jerk I've encountered so far was a monk in Iron Mines. You probably all know that since the big update on january 19th, a bug is keeping players from completing the mission.

Me: Does anyone know why the mission cannot be completed?
Jerk: Ya. We're working on it.
Me: ??
Jerk: 15 minutes
Me: Oh, are you from ANet?
Jerk: No, but I can count.

Then I got a green message announcing that a new build was available. So I logged out and restarted, hoping that the bug had been squashed. Back at Iron Mines I see this monk again. This time around it's different.

Player x: The mission is bugged. You can't complete it. What's wrong?
Jerk: You won't make it. I will not allow it.
Player x: What?
Jerk: I will not allow you to complete mission.
Player y: Sayz who?
Jerk: I can ban u
Me: I've seen you this morning. Are you from ANet?
Jerk: stfu you won't make the mission.
Me: Are you from ANet? I want you to tell me.
Jerk: stfu.
Player z: Hey the mission can't be done! What's going on?
Jerk: As long as I'm here no one can do miss
Player x: You know, I can report you if you impersonate an ANet employee.
Jerk: So? You're reporting me to me.
Player x: You can't ban unless you're from ANet
Jerk: I can ban U allright.
Me: Oh, maybe you're some big time hacker who screwed up mission.
Jerk: there ya go
Player x: I took screens and I'm reporting you
Jerk: therez a smart one

But it does not end there...

Saturday I log on and go to Iron Mines, once again. Seems the mission is still bugged so I get into a group running to Thunderhead. At Thunderhead, I quickly get into a group without realizing that the jerk is right there in the group. I say to myself, ok, just go with the mission and don't pay attention. Just do your job.

The mission starts good and proceeds well right until we get to the city. Jerk is starting to take jabs at everyone in the team, claiming they're idiots and noobs. When we get to the palissade, our eles starts nuking the towers. But jerk has the king with him and goes right next to a spot where the king takes damage.

Me: Whoever has the king get back. He's taking damage.
Jerk: stfu n00b
Me: You're calling me noob?
Jerk: Yeah n00b
Me: Oh, I know you. You're the guy who claimed to be from ANet, who said you could ban people and then that you were a hacker who messed the Iron Mines mission.
Jerk: n00b and your mother dresses you funny.
Me: Sorry folks but have fun! (I mapped back at Thunderhead, leaving the team. and the king was almost dead).

Back at Thunderhead I met some people from that team a couple of minutes later, five of which climbed into my new team. They also mapped back not because the mission was doomed but because of jerk who kept on his little comedy after I was gone.

Me: So, how did you do?
Player: Not good. Was that monk a retard or what?
Player2: Never seen such a jerk
Player3: True that. Probably a 12 year old or something.
Player4: I'm tired of doing this mission over and over because of people like him.

So I took my team for the mission and completed it successfuly. Of course, jerk has been reported by other people (who sent me private messages) and happily put him on ignore.

I've been lucky, haven't encountered worse jerks than all the leavers in Tyria.

On the other hand I know a guy (in real life) who has decieved people by not paying for runs and various items.

Survivor:Tyria, The tribe has spoke, please bring up your torch and hit F12 then enter.

If it were only that easy.

Not really a jerk, just rude in my opinion.
Joined a PUG in the new tombs. I was an Echo SS at the time. Got on to their Teamspeak as well. Then their leader asks me if I had Blood Ritual. Since I never brought it with my SS build, I replied no. He then says on Teamspeak:
"Okay, I'm going to kick this noob Necro. He doesn't have BR. BR is like, the most common spell for Necros and he doesn't have it."
Then I get kicked. If having 2 million EXP PvEing makes me a 'noob', I don't know what makes you 'l33t'.
Seriously, he could have just asked me to bring it. Oh well, maybe I'm just being too sensitive about these things.

he probably thought that you didn't have BR at all - still no excuse.

I vote "jerk" on that one.

Any one of the following:
>People who call you a 'runnEr n00b' when you kite them..it's their fault they don't bring speed boosts and snares.
>People who claim they'd 'pwN ur azz in A 1v1 du3l'
>Anyone who uses the terms 'n00b' and 'stfu' in the same sentance.
>People who taunt you when they win.
>People who use griefers in PvP.

I had the exact same experience in a group in ToA.

The biggest "jerk" I encounter in the game is sort of a "collective" - people who decide to abandon the team right in the middle of a mission when the going gets a little rough, calling everyone "n00b" etc etc - the usual stupid stuff. However as I am writing this I can think of once time in particular where I encountered something that just really made me upset - it was back when people were first farming and exploring Sorrow's Furnace, and one monk in our group kind of hung back claiming he had "lag" - the entire group suffered because he wasn't doing anything, and I gave him the benefit of the doubt because it happens sometimes (plus I am sometimes "too nice" ). It just so happened that his "lag" miraculously cleared up when all the baddies in the initial area were cleared and all the loot was laying around having not been picked up yet because we were all fighting - this monk was the ONLY member of the party still alive and I watched him as he suddenly sprung into action picking up the loot that had lain there long enough to be available to anyone - the rest of us were asking for rez so we could get what was rightfully ours and move on into the Furnace to continue but as soon as he was done with picking up everything he bailed. Just lovely.....
A skill cap run at Perdition Rock produced the other kind of "jerK" that leaves once they get the skill they wanted - leaving everyone else behind to decide whether or not it is worth it to move on or start over with a full group because no one else had gotten what THEY wanted - thus having wasted their time because of one person's selfish actions - what you do in game reflects what kind of person you are in real life.
Anyway - just my "two cents" - hope you all have good luck and don't get stuck with the kind of jerks I have read about in this thread!

When I'm being jerked off I have trouble keeping quiet.

I'm pretty sure you meant "jerked around", since english slang "jerked off" is a bit naughty.

Thats why I always go with a full henchie group at ELC whenever I want to cap skills at Perdition Rock. They may not be the best, but at least they don't leave before I get my caps

Why report these people? Just ignore them and move on. However he is one stupid person, sigh... GW's is turning into some play ground for 12 year old idoits.

The biggest jerks I've come across have been in the last 2 days and are both very prominent guilds, 1 is a consistent top 10 on the ladder.

I'll talk about the top 10 guild here. Well we had them down at 6 minutes, with only a war, monk, ranger, and mesmer left - flawlessed. So what do they do, they start running. They all split and constantly run for the next 3 minutes. We ask them,

US: "come on, you've been beat, done be jerks and deny us the chance at the alter"

THEM: "screw you. If you can't catch us in 10 minutes you don't deserve to win"

US: "so how you gonna take being one of the most hated guild in guild wars now?"

THEM "haha, screw you. Do GvG, we'll smash you"

US: "unrated in 10 minutes, I'll send the invite"

THEM :"screw you jerks"

and so it went on and on.

We didn't get the last runner down until 9 minutes so no chance to take the alter at halls.

So we just slammed their name in ID1 for the next 30 minutes. I hate those guys.

And then the same thing the next day. At least the 2nd guild apologuised afterwards. They had a hench and were just fertile and symbiosis spamming to try and not get smashed quickly. But they ran and dragged it out for too long for us to challenge the alter.

Sportsmanship at it's lowest in tombs/heroe's.

Just curious, what's the whole idea behind all these "no posting names" rules?

I'd be absolutely glad to start a website "guildwarpolice.org" just to build a directory of jerk users. Seriously, I fail to see why we need their "permission" to post something. You say it in a public medium, it is ours. We don't need any permission whatsoever.

First off, although this forum is public, it is hosted on a private server, so there is no "free speech" rule that applies to us. Most forums are that way.

Second, generik is a jerk; he scammed me ingame and cussed at me. I even have screenshots to prove it.

It wouldn't be too difficult to make up a story and Photoshop screenshots. There's not much we here at GwG can do about scammers, jerks, and the like; that's what http://support.guildwars.com/ is for.

One of the chief idiots of today's grotto is the jerk in this one...

Jerk: Player X is a noob.
Player X: Wtf? What'd I do to you?
Jerk: Stfu noob.
Player X: o.o
Jerk: I challenge you to 1v1. C'mon noob.
Player X: Uhh... ok.
Jerk: TA highest d, grab some friends and meet us there.
Player X agrees, does so.

Finally ends up in battle vs Jerk... and Jerk is owned horribly 1v1, while calling Player X noob the whole time. "Zomg read the wind, what a noob skill", etc. (Jerk was hiding behind oath shot, whirling defense and lightning reflexes... lamesauce)

Jerk returns to Grotto and claims to have won. Player X gives up, puts Jerk on ignore. Which is what should have been done from the start, honestly.

Ok, let me try again, but no names this time! I missed that, just went to last page, didnt see full title... Anyway,

Lol, I was there too.

My turn. During the PVP Event, I was with my Me/W, ppl talked about How much time they play GW while using /age.

I saw 1500h, 1800h and 1 over 2000h/7 month!!!

I said mine: less 600h/8 month

Jerk: MAN, U N00B, PLY MOR, U SUX!!!
Friendly one: What the mather if he play lot or not?
Me: At least, I dont waste all my life on this game.
Jerk: U SUX IN PVP
Me: You dont know if I am good or not in PvP
Jerk: U SUX AND U STIL SUX IN PVP
Jerk: 4V4, MINE VS URS
(Uh-ho, doesn't sound good , Im a Mesmer, he's a warrior)
Me: I'm gadly accept in 4v4

So I call some ppl if they wanted to join me about my situation. I never thought how ppl can be generous.LOT of whisper to join my cause. Hard choice but......

you're mine.jpg

He stopped to yell everyone... for now....

The biggest jerk in guild wars would be everyone that runs around in the CA, when they are the last one alive on their team and hava no chance of winning.

Nothing anyone has said to me has offended me, despite lots of name calling and immature behavior. I just laugh at them. One such runner in random team called my victorious team, right before he dropped, "Duckers!" He surely meant to impart something frightfully scathing, but instead made me laugh for the next five minutes.

damn i wish we could name names but ah well, the biggest jerk i have come across is an ex guildie who whenever u are online msgs u with obsenities and constant too.thats why they get reported all the time hehe hahah

my wireless...~6 hours ago, i made a great, unranked, balanced PUG. we beat uw, burial mounds, skipped to the HoH like alter map and barely won 1-0 thanks to a well placed meteor, took screenies at the vault, and then... got to HoH for the third time ever with the best group ive ever had, ready to teach these ranked groups that rank is irrevelant. i was team leader so i was pumped. we went over strategy, and we were all psyched and 10 seconds before the greatest battle of my guild wars career,i get an err=7

Net err 7 = biggest jerk in guild wars?

Bigger than seeing this every 5 minutes?
Yes I know its not in-game, but its game related(still count?).

OMFG!!!

Hmm... In random arenas.

It was me (MM), Jerk (Paladin), Mesmer (Shutdown), Monk (Prot/Healer)

We had won 17 games consecutively, and were in team arenas. We had been talking about nonsense on a whole group level, then the Jerk and mesmer started to get a little loud and ticked off with each other, I ignored it and didn't really pay attention untill the jerk triggered my pet peeve. She started bragging about her guild, and what rank she was, and how she was a better player then us, and how the only reason we were winning was because of her (nonsense). At the time I was guildless, why? because its hard to find a guild with out people who think they're better then regulars simply because they're in a guild and other people aren't. Anyways she moved on to me critiqued my MM build, even though there aren't any flaws in it, its just a matter of fate if two people gang on me and I get killed etc etc... And then she refered to me as "The Guildless", after I had called her pompus and a show off. She was the most ignorant person I had ever met, I didn't bother explaining to her the glory of avoiding guild conflict and stereotype.

Finally got a story to share. By far not the biggest jerk I've encountered in the game, but it was a whole lotta WTF.

Anyway. I've got a couple of hours to kill and Hell's Precipice to beat, so I zone to it and take a look around. There are about ten or twelve people there and seven of them are already grouped. The group already has one monk and some of the members are shouting, "GLF one more monk and then we're good to go!" only with far worse grammar and spelling.

Hm. I look around. It's me (N/Mo with only Rebirth in the Monk line, and definitely not a healer), a Ne/Me and two Wa/Mos. No Monk primaries in the district except for the grouped one yelling about needing one more Monk.

So I say something along the lines of, "There aren't any more Monks in the district."

Wow. You'd think I had just mentioned I was planning on taking their first-borns and selling them on the black market for all the abuse I got. I got called a... ah, a witch-with-a-b , was told to "STFU noob" ( ) and it was suggested my father rapes me at night (niiiice).

All that crap merely for pointing out there weren't any Monks present. I love people, I really do.

LOL with capital letters! The kind of people who would react like that are the kind of people who would lose precious playing time waiting for a human monk to show up instead of taking a henchy monk.

The other day I was at Camp Rankor and there were at least 3 level 20 players asking if there were anyone who would run them to the another town. I kind of thought, well, they all were at level 20, so why waste game time waiting for that non-existant runner? Why not instead take a party of henchies and fight your way there? What's to lose? I could only suppose that they were rather lazy players and would rather be run, but if no runner was available, what the heck, why not go out and try to fight it instead? So I suggested this out loud to no one in general. And I was answered also quite rudely by one of the would-be-runned's. Go figure!

[QUOTE=Francis Demeules]ROFL , i'll tell u a nice anti warrior setup only 3 skills

spirit shackless
mind wack
sigit of midnight hehe thats got to piss of some dumb jerk warriors , slash 95 dmg slashanother 95 dmg , w00t w00t im not hitting him what waht im doing 95 dmg to myself on each hit

Finally ran into someone who was a total jerkoff the other night. I was at Iron Mines and this guys starts asking where he can cap a certain skill...nobody responds so he starts on everyone in the district saying stuff like I can believe nobody here knows...your all noobs. Then he starts about how everyone is just standing around doing nothing...blah blah blah. So I suggest to the guy why not just look it up on google, takes like 30 seconds. He responds by saying that's cheating I want to figure it out myself. HUH. I say isn't asking someone where it is just about the same cause your not finding it yourself? He says well I'm no <deragatory jewish remark>. So I'm thinking what a piece of _____. Then someone posts a link to a site that has the elite locations and poof he's gone. Is there a way to report people like that in GW? I hope so, cause the next time I run into one I'm gonna report him/her.

yeah you can go to www.guildwars.com and report them via the support section. Don't expect anything to be done though, someone who threatened to rape me/kill my bf is still playing to this day *rollseyes* but you might get lucky. You'll never know what they did unless you see them online though coz of anets privacy policy. It's always worth reporting them, hopefully some of the jerks will go bye bye

cool i'll do that cause i don't want this game to turn into a hormone charged adolecent gathering like some other online games.

playing last night in heroes ascent, not much happening so I accepted a blind invite, the "team" was pretty hopeless no calling, no idea, lost badly in the first round after just making it through the zaishen with zero morale boost and a few deaths en route, so I thought "enough" go and wait for a decent team.

back in heroes broadcast to everyone is this "leader" f'ing and blinding about leavers, then tells **** leavers to sell the **** game you'e all the same every night I spend time drone etc much swearing vaguely mis-spelled to avoid the filters, and way out of order.

Anyway I joined another team having totally ignored this idiot, two games later guess who we meet, so I killed him three times in succession

It was yet again one of my sleepless nights (my hubby snores loud) so I ended up at Piken buying Charr-hides with a price I think is quite fair (45g each).
Everything went fine for an hour or so, then there showed up a W/Mo... declared he's really drunk and started to entertain me and all others around ther as following:

Jerk: SCAMMER ALERT!!! #my char's name# is a scammer!
Me: No... I do not scam. I am buying only Charr-hides!
Jerk: She's a scammer! I'm gonna report you, #dirty word#!
Me: How can I scam if I'm buying Charr-hides with cash?
Jerk: NOBODY MAKE ANY CONTACT WITH #my char's name#. SHE'S A SCAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: Scamming requires me to cheat... how can I cheat if I buy?
Jerk: SHE'S A SCAMMER!!! She didn't sell me ... [can't remember what kind of a shield he claimed I had been selling]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: I have not sold anything... I'm only buying.
Jerk: #my char's name# IS A SCAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

He kept on that for a long time... eventhough other people told him nicely to keep quiet (STFU & other versions were widely used too ) In the meanwhile I was trading cash for hides (it's amazing how quickly one gets 250 hides with that price )

Took a screenie and still thinking should I or should I not report him. Opinions?

it's harrassment, plain, pure and simple - yeah report him!

letting things like that go is just allowing it to continue. As others see that nothing is being done to get rid of that kind of behavior, the more others will slip into that nonsense themselves.

Erm, just curious.. is there anything in the US law that prevents us from posting IGNs of these a**hats? Or is it just something in the EULA? (which I have zero intent of complying with anyway)

It'd be so great if we can build a directory of these turds.
