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

Agree with Kook. I think there is the danger of getting used to such behaviours and to get down to their level . Maybe not a direct harassmet like you suffered, but i think i and many others just let them "pass" and do nothing.

My Jerk

It's not my biggest jerk for sure, but the last i remember. We are in ToA in a group. Not yet formed , 5 of us , and the jerk is shouting like mad (CAPS) . The leader takes a Ranger and the other cries OUT, and the poor leader just kicks him , although was nothing wrong with it (still 5 in group). I think that was too much for me, and got out of the group, even knowing how difficult as Me is to get in one. Anyway, don't think they'd go very far with such jerk in it.

It would really be great, but there's one problem I can figure out. When you delete a character, the name stays reserved for your account for only an hour and after that time it may be taken by anybody, and what if someone else manages to pick up the name of an idiot? He/she would get so much bad reputation for nothing. And what good would it be to explain "I just bought this game!"... who would believe that if a character with the same name had been harrassing someone the previous evening?

Here is my story... Last night me and another runner from our guild was showing our newest runner the run from Ascalon to the Desert. We advertised in Ascalon dis 7 for a lucky person to go with and to invite themselves. Once we had a person in the group we left. I received a PM from someone in Ascalon if he could go with. I politely said we were full and we can meet him in Yaks if he had it. He said sure... Upon arriving in Yaks he added to the group and I wanted to bring another person. So again I asked if anyone wanted to come along. PM's Galore... took the first person to invite themself and then left. Well the person I asked to meet us in Yak's as we were running was killed instantly by a couple ettins. He started talking about how they were raping him and etc... can not repeat what he said... We have a female runner in the group and she started to get upset about it because of the comments and told him/her to stop. I told her to let it go... We hit Ice tooth and he started it up again, but this time like how the priests rape little kids... Well this hit me hard having a kid of my own and of course she has a kid as well. I stopped the run and said to him one more time and the next town I will boot you from the group, you are getting a free run to the desert so keep the comments to yourself... After that he stated he was going AFK and I finished the run to the desert... Yes he IMHO was one of the biggest jerks. I did put him on my ignore list once the run was over.

I met my Biggest Jerk today.

I was looking around to help some newer players, and see somone selling sword hilts. (they didn't specify)
Me: what hilts do you have?
jerk: Fiery sword hilts. They make your sword have flames on it and deal fire damage.
Me: Um, They don't change the sword, just the damage style.
jerk: are you idiot? or just Stupid?
Player Jerk is ignoring you.

What's up with ppl like that! ANet should make a law against that stuff.

as i was grouping for tombs, my friend invited me to his party mostly containing r8+ when he used to be r8, so he invited someone I BET EVERYONE IN GURU knows.. so i was like hey sup, so we go in... so we get to hoh and i was a trapper... and u know who was a war, so i was in altar trying to trap. and suddenly u know who blurted stuff out @ me so i obeyed and traped elsewhere.. we still lost, you know who blamed me, so i was feeling so bad lawl! so there i saw him once again but he hit r9 now.. oh and hes r11 now btw >_> so when he hit r9.. i was r8, he rubed it up my face, telling me i should obey people to get that too.. lol
you all know him, so when he got his r9 i congratulated him... and he was like, Dont Congratulate People If You Dont Mean It!, so yea theres the biggest jerk right there, and almost everyone in guru thinks that guy is so leet sauce >_<
me him and grom used to group a few times too before he started hating me

not so much a jerk story, but it's pretty funny. i just bought the standard leather gear for my ranger, and then suddenly:

jerk: YOU STOLE MY ARMOR!!!!1!
me: i am?
jerk: YES YOU ARE!!!
me: oh, ok.
jerk: MEET YOU AT TEH FIRE!!! OK?!
me: where?
jerk: MEET ME NOW
me: where?
jerk: WHERE DO YOU WANT MEET
me: why should i meet you?
jerk: TO SHOW THAT YOU STOLE MY GEAR
me: i didn't
jerk: YES YOU DID
me: whatever...

I just tried to get a group together at Gates of Kryta to take my level 11 monk through the mission and bonus. we got two monks, so i thought we were off to a good start, and we had a nice, diverse PUG going, and then this lvl 20 w/n joined, so that looked even better. high level tank and lots of other skills = hopefully fairly easy run through, right?

well this cowboy says he'll only play with us if we'll let him do one thing first, but he won't tell us what and immediately the leader starts the game. i had a hunch I knew what he was doing, and i was right: immediately he ran around to where oink is, around that building to the hidden area with the swarms of undead. I just spent all of yesterday farming there with another character, so i wasn't afraid of the mobs, and we had a fairly easy time of it... and as soon as we clear that area, he leads us on a wild goose chase, claiming he knows where we're going. we fight through some smaller groups of undead, and then he gets to another larger group of them, aggros them onto us, and then drops on us all of a sudden. Just like my hunch.

I can't figure out what he wanted out of that. The drops aren't that good even for solo farming, the key to that area is how quickly you can get through it, lather, rinse, and repeat. with a full group of six, his drops even worse. on top of that, the monsters give no experience at lvl 20... every thirty seconds one random monster gives my lvl 20 +32xp... when I'm soloing. so he wasn't doing it for the xp. Also, since we didn't even start the mission or bonus, he didn't get that out of it either. I couldn't figure out any practical reason why this guy would do that.

The only thing I can think of is that he did it just to be a jerk. waste our time, jerk us around, get us lost, and then aggro a mob on us. no gain for him whatsoever. i wouldn't mind normally, as I'm usually pretty mellow and upbeat, but I had a small window of time to do this mission. i had to run off to work in less than an hour! this jerk wasted my lunch break for nothing!

funnily enough, after some waffling we organized ourselves and then beat the mission rather quickly. Easiest run through of that mission yet for me, the drakes and undead didn't stand a chance.

Not the biggest jerks but...

The 2 wussy Monks that left our Tombs group after finding out that the Necro's weren't batteries. We didn't even get to the very first bridge before they asked the Necros if they were batteries. When they found out they weren't they called the team(& in particulary the Necros) n00bz & ragequit.

A skilled Monk DOES NOT NEED a battery. Batteries are a helpful boost to a skilled Monk but a crutch to a unskilled Monk. If you are a Monk & can't function without a battery...you suck. Quit Monking.

I came across the best PvE PUG I've ever been in, we did Riverside province with bonus without a single death, and it was only lvl 17-19 characters. So we did Sanctum cay as well, but had to retry it because we only did the bonus. So in the outpost, we waited for a 6th player to join, finally someone came and we were happy we could start. Just before we loaded the mission, he had a nice comment on how he hates noobs who rush into mobs.
Well, I spent the first few minutes explaining to him why he should drop the damn scepter to give us monks extra energy.....and he kept explaining to me how it's fine, that he's an ele and he doesn't need hands. Then he started rushing into mobs.... Our leader told him politely not to rush, he said "shut up" and that's when it all started. All the way to the Vizier animation, we were arguing with this kid, he tried to threaten us with the fact that he will die and we will do the mission for him.....omg what a tragedy! Though you forgot about all the XP you'd get from fight dude. So I finally put him to Ignore list.
At the end, he at least tried to mess up the mission for us by rushing to the dock, triggering the waves of enemies at Vizier. But we made it easily, 2 warriors and 2 monks. What a loser.

Again this is not definitely about the game's "biggest jerk" but I think the story is funny enough to include here.

We were doing the Thunderkeep mission yesterday with me playing my necro character, equipped as curse/blood with Spitefull Spirit and 3 HP degen curses. In the group was a Mesmer with the usual long-distance-kill hexes. There was no elementalist in the group, but we had 2 monks, an MM necro, a Warrior and a ranger. After clearing out the city I and the Mesmer proceeded to kill all at one of the two balconies before entering the fort. We did this easilly, me casting spitefull spirit and the health degen spells and the mesmer doing her thing. In the meantime our brave Warrior made a rush to the door to the city and kept yelling for us all to go over to him so we could get into the door.

Here is the funny and pathetic part: I told him to wait, it was far easier if we clear out both balconies first. We already killed everyone at the first balcony and were about to do the second one. And his reply? No, we don't have any nukers in the group, so we cannot do that! I was so angry I answered "but I AM a nuker" which I was with SS of sorts. Our MM necro answered, no you are not, you have only curse spells.

Why are some players so darn misinformed about what the various character classes could do? I could understand if the MM necro never saw SS in action before. But what about HP degen skills? What about a Mesmer's ability to do all sorts of long distance damage? A party without a nuking elementalist means no "over the wall killing" is possible? And, uh, so tell me guys, what happened to the first balcony group? Did they go home for lunch?

Heh heh. Playing with Pugs is just a laugh sometimes.

i would read about people who were griefed by running jerks in random arena..
never thought i'd meet a real one lol

but this was during the pvp event and i was trying out the new chars, and forced to use a free acct since mine was full of pve.

i was playing a rt/me, and this ranger on the other team mostly ran around w/ storm chaser, dodge, whirling and ungent after their party died. we had 2 rt/me, an assasin and a necro. chased him around for about 5 min but weren't set up to kill a runner.

anyway, it's not really a jerk, but more of a pathetic jerk lol
an attention wh0re that couldn't hold up to his promise. i really think he needs more love and attention from his parents. the poor guy couldn't even last 31 minutes.. and he claimed he could outwait us. i just went to work in photoshop heh

1st screen @ 24:24 (after about 5 min of chasing), 2nd screen @ 31:14 when the poor guy just couldn't handle the neglect anymore

Mod Edit: Please make sure to block out the complete name, not just half the name. You also had missed the complete name in one of the screenies. Please ensure when posting screenies to block out the full name and all the names in the screenies. Thank you.

My issue: The One True Tombs Expert. This is his credo, and multiple people have lived up to it (all based off true stories). Tell me you haven't met this guy before:

The One True Tombs Expert will not have started his own group, but he damn well will know what the exact build of YOUR team should be. 'you a tank? YOU NUB! why u not stance tank? GS, WS, WY, IWAY, BLT? hey, is that someone from my own class? what do you have? oh, really? that elite? ...well, mines better.' He will intimidate everyone into picking skills - and play styles - they're not used to. He will stop speaking English about 2 minutes into the team formation to discuss constructing esoteric, unnecessary builds. And that's just the beginning.

The One True Tombs Expert will grow impatient with any slowdown and question every movement the tank makes in aggroing. He may scream that his timing or pacing gets thrown off by these perceived slights. (I had one screaming at me yesterday Rainman-like about his '20-second nuke'. That's about as useful to me as throwing two poodles at the enemy as opposed to one.) Stereotypically, the One True Tombs Expert is a Necro, but he can be pretty much any support/ranged class or even one of the tanks.

The One True Tombs Expert will draw, IN FU*KING CURSIVE, 'popups' on the map to obscure your vision. While he obviously knows the locations of these popups, he would rather make himself heard as Nancy Sketchbook than actually take less time in typing it in.

The One True Tombs Expert, after getting fed up with your blind feeling-out of the minefield that is a cursive-encrusted landscape of popups, will break rank and charge ahead to investigate.

The One True Tombs Expert will die in about 3 quarters of a second.

The One True Tombs Expert will laugh as popups surround your group and you, unable to set your blocks, die holding off the enemy so the team can retreat.

The One True Tombs Expert may get away with the PUG not noticing he did it and he'll blame you. If not, he will call the team out as the worst ever in his storied history of running Tombs 283 times. Flawlessly.

In his underwear.

...In his character's underwear, too.

The One True Tombs Expert will cause one or more of your team members to quit. He will feign surprise. He will spark inter-and-intra-guild fighting.

And finally, as you drag his bloodied, annoying carcass across the Darkness' threshold, he will raise his middle finger in his last ounce of strength and say 'victo's... give it to me. nub. *hrrk*'

Quoted for truth.

My most memorable Noob experience :P

I was playing in CA with my spiker, and I was having lots of fun. I was playing in the amnoon arena. So, I was fightning when I was badly damaged by a Life Transfer, so I had to run away with 11 health to try to save my but. (heal sig). But, a fire ele came to try to finish me off. So he ran to face me. His first move was Firestorm...Which I ran from. But then I died when he attacked me. Then he ran back and said "NOBODY CAN OUTDUAL ME!". After the match, I whispered him, just telling him what I thought about the match. Anyways, it ended up with him telling me how uber firestrorm is in Comp Arenas, and how "Always pwndizzles noobs" with it. After that, I shook my head in disbelief and turned off the computer.

Here's a story:
Wandering around Ascalon... jerk says, "What town can I buy bags in?" I tell him right here at the merchant. He then proceeds to tell me that my mother and father were never married, that I'm a liar, and I that I like receiving attention from other men.

I tell him there are TWO merchants in Ascalon, and he needs to see the other one to buy the bags...... (silence)..... then, "Oh. Thank You".

LMFAO

LOL

This didn't happen to me but to a guildmember. He wanted to sell a great shield (+30hp always and -2 while enchanted req 8 tact) and one guy said we would pay 50 ecto. Guildmember does the trade and later goes to FoW to get his last piece of armor. To his suprise he didn't have enough ecto. He looked at his inv and saw that he had traded the shield for 50 mursaat garments (nearly same shape as ecto). Being scammed for 5k or so is already awfull, but 400k? No screenshot or ign however, so there's nothing that can be done.

Shame there isn't a place to post scammers names.. My guildmate had one last night on a droks run (puts up anti running flame proof vest before you all start). It would also seem this guy was scamming quite a few people as there where a few people in Beacons euro english dist 1 last night cursing his name.

Surely these scammers realise that sooner or later they will get banned. I mean if enough people report them, surely A-net has to do something???
Anyway, i'll prob get told off from this forums admin, but if you are bored and wanna send this scammer a few interesting PM's then PM me ingame.

wow that scammer must farm mursaat alot !

Ah, had a nice one a few days ago in new UW.

PUG party assembling, I join as a tank and the leader does a shout for a trapping ranger and lo and behold, a ranger joins our ranks which comprised of 2 monks, 2 tanks, ele, necro, trapper and a mesmer. This would clearly not be a trapping team, I'd think, right?

So, we go in after ample time for everyone to set their skills and after 2 mobs of grasps and scythes he exclaims "I hate these mixed groups!". No one pays attention, probably thinking like me he was talking about the enemies. Not so.

At the next section (under the bridge) he starts on how he's a trapper and cant work with a mixed group, so I reply a bit testily "then you arent much of a player, this was obviously not a trapping group". Oh boy..I shouldnt have said that...the kiddie got really upset and started shouting in caps at us that he was ranked (meanwhile standing around doing nothing with grasps and scythes all around us thanks to his rather bad aggro skills), he added that if we were so invincible (no one said we were) he'd like to see us get to the next level.

We clear the level and at the start of the next one he runs out, aggro's 2 patrols and the grasps and scythes, everyone dies ofcourse and he's laughing.

A real team player that one...

LOL LOL LOL

yea anymore people think they are so special for having a rank. I play a little PvP sure and I have a rank avatar sure, but when I'm doing a PvE mission that means exactly Squat. Especially in the Tombs Challenge area.
in PvP agroing is meaningless, so many Pure PvPers don't get the concept of getting agro or pulling... Sounds like this guy was just a pure that really didn't have a clue to begin with... That's the problem with Pugs... Oh well...

Biggest jerk i ever had was a guy so said lvl didn't matter and that his lvl 3 ele was stronger than my lvl 20 r/mo. i told him he was a noob and he replied with some swear words.

My favorite jerks are in PvP areans the ones that call you a n00b while you are standing over their dead body.

This is probably my worst one to date.

I was attempting to finally get my Fissure Helmet with an O.K. group. (Just to let you know, the Gods have put a curse on me and I am unable to either A) Get INTO a group or B)Get into a DECENT group. My guild is a little low on the member count, so don't jump to that solution ). Well, we were on our merry way until we reached the battlegrounds near the entrance of the Temple of War. This one monk then starts barking orders like she runs the show (she was when we first started just a little, but not as bad). She tells us (the tanks) to stand at a certain spot, and I suggested that we kill a lone group that was off to the side so it wouldn't come back to bite us in the ass later. She then says ''stand f***ing here" and I reply with "I love how the monks think they run the show." She then says ''fine, AFK" (Oh noes!) After some heavy slaughtering on both sides, the monsters start to come after her, then she magically comes back and runs away. She then starts talking about her rank and says ''u dont even know what a rank is u newb''. ***Insert more arguing back and forth***. Then she is like "3.9 mil xp and rank 6, owned newb. Well, everyone else was near dead, and she and I were the last ones alive. So while I am vainly tanking one of the skeletal groups, my party asks what the hell she is doing, and she is like ''waiting for x to die''.

So, I finally die, and then she starts to res people, saying ''if anyone rezzes x im leaving''. Well, the other monk, who wasn't a complete dimwit, actually fulfilled his duties and res'd me. Before she left, she bragged about how her guild was Rank 43 and is like ''if u want to see us own it up sometime watch us in observer mode with the o key.'' It's too bad that the observer mode key is the B key. She then ragequits and I PM her, telling her about the typo she made, she then goes on about how she is glad she ruined it for us and then she puts me on ignore, and I then return the favor. My party made it to the top of the temple, and we cleared all of the monsters except for the rangers, and after a few deaths from them everyone suddenly had to leave. Oh well. I love those who think rank means the slightest difference in PvE.

Tombs, level 4. This Ranger pulls the 2 rape parties at the beginning, predictably, we all die. Red is the Jerk. Just said my one line, then get a scathing reply in turn.



Also, why do people go Offline then insult people? Just so they can't see what their reply will get? Seriously, if you want to start something, don't be a cowardly wuss.

They go offline because they can't handle any backlash from their deplorable behavior. Quite likely they're very young, and most defintitely very very immature.

sorry, found this a while back while reading this forum...

Oh, and i have to disagree with that...Im a w/mo and usually monks dont do a good job at healing me since im the one out there pWning all the monsters while they sit on their lazy butts and talk about something...So i am my own warrior and healer, which really stinks cuz the monks just /afk-ing and talking to a chick who doesnt even know him...

Yeah, and the point is...I use mending on myself...all the time

Yeah, tch, who needs monks to heal you? guild wars isn't about teamwork, the goal is for all 8 people on a team to be self-sufficient so you get the strongest team.

Quoted for great sarcasm and truth!

No offence intended but....start a Monk character & play it all the way thru the game before you start railing on Monks. Walk a while in the shoes of a Monk & you will see what they go thru.

I guess Twicky_Kid has a point.

Lovely jerk story

I'm in Ember Light Camp, planning to skillcap Echo for one of my mesmers. I get into a group fairly quickly, no problems, as the monk leader was advertising for mesmers. There's a second mesmer on the team, and between the both of us we begin sorting out our skills, mostly interrupts to keep the hydras from dropping meteor showers on our heads, Shatter Hex AOEs and the like.

Then the leader invites a ranger into the group. Her first spew into teamchat: "Why do we have two mesmers? We don't need two mesmers." This devolves into "We don't need mesmers, mesmers are useless here." I pointed out that I farm Perdition Rock with my other mesmer, and had been out here fifty plus times, and I know what to expect. I know that interrupts are a necessity on Perdition Rock.

She then attempts to lamely backtrack and say, "No you didn't understand, I didn't say mesmers are useless," and continues telling the monk to kick one of us. The other mesmer and I are PMing each other, griping. The leader fails to take a hint that we're not particularly happy here.

Well, somehow we managed to get the party together, including the pissed off trio of two mesmers and a mesmer-hating ranger (or "I don't hate mesmers, we just don't need mesmers here!"). We head out into the flaming yonder of Perdition Rock. The ranger immediatly runs up to the Flesh Golems, and tries to lay a trap point blank. She gets interrupted when they swing at her of course. She keeps on going, trying to lay traps.

Then the hydras aggro. The other mesmer and I are working overtime trying to shatter hexes and keep those meteor showers off us. Does the ranger even try to interrupt anything? No, it's trap trap trap trap trap. Rather, she was trying to tank and trap, something that normally doesn't work, and certainly didn't work for her.

Someone zones us back into Ember Light in the panic and confusion. What does the ranger say? "Kick one of the mesmers, we need another monk."

The other mesmer and I PMed each other, ditched, and then formed our own group. We had no problems in the least after that, making Flesh Golems and hydras drop dead in their tracks.

Just like other players, there are good and bad monks. I've run into quite a few bad monks, even ones who DO just stand around and chat while other players die.

I had a good story from yesterday
Was in a town yesterday, and saw the advertisement WTS 5 a candy cane 3k

I had just sold 10 candy canes for 6k so that I could get my elementals 1.5k drocs armour. Once competed I had 3k leftover so I wanted to get my cc back so sent a pm to the seller.

Me: do you have the 5 cc for 3k? I will purchase
Him: ok where are you?
Me: next to hench
Him: ok

He opens trade and I put in my 3k and hit submit
He puts in his items and submits
I look at the items, strange don’t look like cc, mouse over and surprise surprise candy cane shards

Me: Lol
Him: ???
Me: what the! You said candy canes not shards!
Me: what would I want with shards?
Him: you use them to make canes?
Me: lol
Me: nice one
Him: I must have misspelled the message should be shards
Me: ya nice scam
Me: I cancel trade
Him : reopens trade
Me: cancel trade

He then types into public chat his advertisement with one change, candy cane shards
So I reply what I want to know is what would we want shards for?

Other player also asks the same so he reply’s that you use to make canes,
We type that they are worthless and to dump.

Not sure if he was scamming or not so I did not report him.

I play a monk and spent most of the time healing the team and ignoring idiot tanks who runs off thinking they can take on all the mobs just because they have the highest armor and a measly 3 pips of regen. Yes I do admit I did not wand alot but I did spend most of my time healing everyone, getting rid of hexes, curing ailments, and keeping myself out of danger. So don't believe that all monks are like the ones you encounter. It is the tanks that get a few skills and believe that they can take on the GW world solo that are the jerks. Don't be mad or say I am one-sided either because I play a w/mo and he does fine with or without mending(depends on what I am doing).

Hmmm... wha? I think you may have misunderstood me. I was defending Monks not dissing them.

well, that's funny because generally i try to be as self-sufficient as possible because i know i can't always count on the monk to heal me all the time.

i mean, it's not like they have 1278346918273469187234619872346 energy with 9182734618973246198736418792346 pips of regen. even with a battery necro.

One Lv20 guy offered to help our group, joined, then deliberately ruined the Bonus by killing the Ember Bearers in Surmia.

Here's an idea: Let's gather all the jerks together, put them in a big room, lock the door, and come back a week later to see the results.

u are still a PvP noob until u agree with that
