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

How about instead of banning them and suspending their accounts we send all jerks to a sort of GW Hell. ANet restrict them to certain "Jerk Only" distrticts where they can only interact, trade, and group with their own kind. See how they like it. You never know, it might actually change a few of them.

Here's the other side of the coin.

When I play with PUGs, I often play a monk. The thing that annoys me most is when W/Mos recast their mending (that's been stripped off them for 2 gazillion times already), rush off into the next group of foes without so much as a call, while the rest of the party hangs back to regenerate and chat a bit among themselves.

Certainly a jerk that guy was. I've tried trapping in the old UW with my ranger and can't think of a more boring way to play GW. Effective, but too slow and boring. Far better to be a trapper in a mixed group. And also very effective. If he wasn't such a jerk he might have realized that. If a trapper takes along throw dirt and maybe Oath shot (to recharge throw dirt), the trapper can continue setting traps even in the middle of a battle, especially in the new UW which doesn't have any ranger enemies. And nothing like dust trap to blind and flame trap to hurt! The grasps run around so much, they can't help but run into the traps. I did the new UW successfully last night with my ranger and 7 henchies (flame trap, dust trap, throw dirt, oath shot, distracting and savage shot, rebirth and troll unguent) and got a greenie out of it

Whoa, hold on here! What are we doing here? We are playing Guild Wars, a game, and we are supposed to be having fun doing it, right? A group begins to form, and it may have 2 Mesmers, or it may have 3 Rangers, or whatever. Now, these 2 Mesmers or whatever may LIKE to play mesmers or they may be friends or whatever. And so along comes another party member who then begins to insist that one of the players already in the party gets kicked? Hey jciardha, if I was party leader, the first thing I would have done in your situation is kick the ranger! That is asocial behavior and a sign that this one is not going to be a team player. Any player that comes into my party and immediately starts insisting that a party member is not needed or should be kicked gets kicked by me.

And besides, two Mesmers in a group works great! As long as the mesmers know their skills, two mesmers in the same group will never be a disadvantage.

Ok.. the jerk here might be me, but this is a riot..
There's a guy in Beetletun, wanting to sell his silver dye.. At first it's "WTS Silver Dye." Maybe at 30 sec intervals, but it gets worse.. "WTS Silver Dye""WTS Silver Dye""WTS Silver Dye""WTS Silver Dye""WTS Silver Dye""WTS Silver Dye""WTS Silver Dye" And he's spamming like crazy. So I whisper him, Ok, "How much and how many do you have?" He replies " 1 and offer." At this point, the Dye trader is selling 1 silver dye for 700, and I say 550, thinking it was an okay price..
"lol im not noob" <-- exact reply
Then I, who thought it was fair, but just a teeny weeney low, respond," Then don't spam like one." Yes, harsh but I can't stand spammers.. And so he doesn't reply (maybe he's trying to think of a comeback) and completely ignores me, my offer, and last remark.
One minute passes in Beetletun.
Same guy. "WTS Silver Dye 1k"
People laugh at him, go crazy..
I was gonna say something about what he defines a noob as, but then again, I'm not usually a mean person. So he only gets a "rofl are you kidding?"

End of Story. =P
More will come, for sure..

earlier I meant to agree with you but the damn thing would not let me edit sorry

I am in total agreement with Teufel sorry again

Oh, I would have, except I wasn't leading. As it is, that ranger has a permanent place on my ignore list anyway.

Well...I have plenty of jerk stories unfortunately. Most of them involve my monk too, I have no idea why people decide to be such jerks to monks. I get compliments the last 5 missions of the game, yet everywhere else, I am a n00b healer. It is the worst in the crystal desert, thank goodness I don't need anything else from there.

I will share a nice story about a person who just joined the group asking someone to be kicked. Using my Ranger I had finished Abbadons Mouth with a group of people, we worked really well together. Afterwards a few people had to go, a couple of them being the healers. We recruited a few members, the last being a monk. Who joined and said that they wanted another one because they wouldn't be able to heal by themselves. Perfectly true and resonable. I wanted to do it, but needed to go to bed. I added people from the previous mission, and told everyone that I would go so that they would have room for another monk. I think that was rather nice of me.

Sorry not to post a jerks story, but I didn't really want to. Jerks abound in game, so I guess I'll be a jerk by posting off topic.

I would've booted the ranger the minute they started complaining about the build. If they didn't like the build, why did they bother to join in the first place? Besides, if he/she wanted a particular build for a group, why not form his/her own group?

That's not too surprising. A lot of jerks who think they're uberleet get stuck at the desert missions. No teamwork or target calling will kill you in Thirsty, pulling poorly and impatience will kill you in Elona, etc. It's like a weed-out course in college.

THK is another one like that. So, for the most part, once you're past THK the player quality usually goes up and you get less griefers and jerks. I got through each of the RoF missions with PUGs on the first try. The missions before that? Forget it.

EDIT: I just want to clarify that, obviously, not everyone who gets stuck at these missions is a jerk. However, my statements could have been interpreted that way, and then I'd be the jerk. Anyway, carry on!

hi ho

ok sit back this is looooooong

so it started when i was in the tombs of primeval kings i was trying to sell the victos blade at 85k (2 seperate people told me that i was selling cheap at 65k and that i might find the right buyer at 85-100k, also the night before i sold 1 for 100k the guy was desperate for one and offered me 100k)

so i said [WTS] victos blade [85k]

i get pinged with

him:"OMG wat a rip off u a ?$%^ "££$?&^£"

now i dont take kindly to threats and from some1 i dont know i got kinda angry

so i said

me:"WTF get lost i sold one for more last night and to seperate people told me 2 sell higher which i am so get lost"

pinged again with more of the above

so i said again "get lost i dont care wat u think"

pinged again more THREATS

so i said :"get lost ure propably a 12 year old who hasnt got a clue how to play the game and ure mother bought u this for christmas so F$?% OFF!"

get a ping

him:"eh, no u "muffed"(wat ever that is) come down to EAST LONDON and u will get ure ass kicked"

Now i was extremely pi^^ed i do martial arts so i know how to defend myself and this jerk was theatning

i say :" dude come to glasgow and in to minutes u will get sta^^ed with ure attitude"(not saying i would stab him, just getting a point across)

now instead of TRYING to insult (which he was not) he said o u scottish still wear kilts

i say :"yes actually caus we got the balls to do it (amongst other male parts) which u obviously aint got"

he replies :"STFU england whooped scotland killed all of u so there"

me: "WTF has scottish v england history got anything to do with me selling a green item NOTHING do i care that scotland had a hard time with england not really so f^^k off"no reply for a while then........." if england were to go to war with scotland we would win]

WTF
me:"so RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO, and to england whooping scotland in the past, EVER HEARD OF WILLIAM WALLACE AND HOW HE SACKED ALL OF NORTH ENGLAND!"

him:"scotland lose to england every football match shows alot for ure nation"
him: "scotland r on the shoulders of england being held up by us"

me:"wtf u talking about footbal has got no relevance to GW in anyway and TBH i dont care for football (i used 2 but not for a long time)

him:"ha u must b gay for not watching football"

(WTF im not gay where that remark come from (he propably is gay tho)

him:"then bet u play chess or summit only dumbasses play chess"

me:"actually most players in football nowadays r dumbasses and comon knowledge tells me that to play chess u need to b smart so u r showing ure IQ level

[he starts up more flaming]

i dont care anymore iv calmed myself down and dont reply

him:"go shoot up cocaine and drink whiskey u scottish b^^^^d"

me:"nope i aint a junky and i actually drink whiskey so SU and get lost"

and i lof off caus i gotta go

now, there is no rule saying u cant sell an item for more than wat it could b worth. people should nt flame some1 like that just say "excuse me m8 just 2 laet u know thats a bit pricey if u lower u might sell it faster"(wat i would hav said)

this got to me due to the fact he was insulting not just to me but my heritage and all of my country many would agree this is out of order

1. NO-ONE SHOULD FLAME A COUNTRY OR ITS HISTORY HISTORY IS AS IT SAYS HISTORY to FLAME 1 JUST SHOW HOW MUCH THAT PERSON IS A JERK

2.TO THREATEN SOME1 WITH VIOLENCE I THINK IS UNACCEPTABLE I KNOW I COULD TAKE HIM (NOT BRAGING OR ANYTHING BUT IN SITUATIONS LIKE THAT SUCH MESSURES R CALLED FOR)

3. HE FLAMED A COUNTRY BY SAYING THE GOVERNMENT WAS USELESS WE (SCOTTISH) PEOPLE SHOULD NVR HAD LIVED(I EDITED IT OUT OF THE DISCUSSION ABOVE BUT WHO CARES)

4. I GOT NOTHING WRONG WITH ENGLISH PEOPLE I LIKE MOST IV ENCOUNTERED

5. if any ANET people r reading plz pm me caus i want this guy BANNED he took it to far with threatening me personally but then flaming a country is damm wrong!

6. this has been edited, more was said that i thought shouldnt b posted (he said not me)

...Seems like to me you had an argument when you should've just ignored him. Your hostile replies fueled his. The ignore list is your friend, although admittedly there aren't enough slots on it.

U r totally correct, and yes i did ignore him for about 20 minutes just gettin along in the game minding my own business but i just had 2 say something when he started goin on about my heritage

@Ure Maker

nice story but you might want to edit it a bit, the use of 1's and 2's and stuff of that sort makes it hard to read.

lol yeah he was a jerk but tbh you were being a jerk back a bit too shoulda just ignored him straight away.

yeah i know i should hav ingnored him which i did for a long time (as i stated in the reply) and the way i think to counter a jerk is to jerk him back(in GW that is), and i was stating facts and not really bein a jerk unlike him his insults came out of knowhere and for no reason wat so ever i just got really angry and had to flame back plus some of my m8s online who i told them him this guy for future refrence said that they would hav said more than wat i did

So I've been following this thread for like a couple of days and having a good laugh. I thought to myself on several occasions why I never ran into such idiots. Well, today happened...

I take my 20Monk to Ascalon and plan on giving away a MAX DMG Flamberge with req. 8 on swordsmanship. I say;
"Giving away MAX DMG Flamberge ( req. 8 Swordsmanship ) to low leveled warriors. ( W/X )"
My first whisper was 'your a noob, there is no X profession.'
I didn't bother whith replying so I added him to my ignore list.
Then I get whispers from several other characters who all were N/W, or Mes/Mo, or such and such. I tell each of them that I'm only giving away flamberge to W/X only. But this N/W keeps doing the Trade window, and I keep telling him no. Finally I give it away to a 9W/R and he doesn't give a thanks or anything, he actually says, "I thought you said you was giving it away!" Dude, I just gave it to you without a single gold from you, I gave it away to you, as in... freely handed it to you via Trade window. "Oh..." And I don't hear anything else from that W/R.

But this N/W starts off on me after finally telling him I gave it away.
'I'm not letting you in my guild'
'got one already, leave me alone, plskthnx'
'ours is #1, we are war machine'
'war what? I don't care...'
'Yea, my brother is the leader and he told me not argue with a noob like you'
'Brother? Guild? Me in it? I don't care, leave me alone'
'Your a noob, all my armors have FoW *and some other blah blah"
'Yea, me having a 20Ele, 20W, 20Monk, and a 17Necro MM obviously proves I am still inexperienced at playing this game.'
'I can own you with my W/R who does my running and my Ele/R who does farming, each with FoW'
'zomg! I guess I've met the GW master, eh? Mr. N/W, which in many people's opinion is a bad build. But with your level of experience you obviously know your stuff'
'noob, my brother says your a noob and I shouldn't talk with you.'
'take his advice maybe?'
You are ignored by player ****

His name had *something* and some other name and such. Won't say, but it was fun to read...

Possibly the best idea i've ever heard to date ... ArenaNet: hear our suggestion

oh, and here Ure Maker *hands you some punctuation marks*

ROFLMAO! Too damn funny!

And the scary thing is, I dont doubt for a second its true

Btw, I would say thank you if someone gave me a nice sword like that

Anyone in Grotto last night during the late hours?

Some bozo was such a big ass to everyone the whole district spammed "beep" for almost an hour to drown the guy out.

The kicker? The bonehead kept flaming people. He wasn't going to let a small thing such as social meltdown stop him from insulting random people on the internet.

My story:

I was being runned to Droks, along with 5 other people. So the runner leaves, runs, and dies right after the wurm cave. So we respawned and he retried. He dies again and said that the new build he was trying was not working for him, and that he would change to his old build. So he dies again in his old build. By this time, we started getting frustrated. He said that he was having a bad day, with unluckly spawns and all. So this ranger in the group said that he would quit if he dies one more time. So this time, the runner went pretty far before dying yet again, though I'm not sure why because I went afk at this point. Well, the ranger didn't quit, but after the runner got past the caves, said "I'm not paying for this run. You're wasting my time." I suppose we all tought he was just joking. The runner actually zoned to the next map this time. Upon reaching the first payment point, we all payed except for the ranger, who kept on insiting that this run was free because the runner had wasted the ranger's time. Of course, I started yelling that the ranger was a noob. He starts rambling about his haxor 1337 FoW armored characters and stuff. The runner became really angry and asked if we wanted to go back to beacons, kick the ranger, and retry the run for free. I, not wanting to go through the pain of the wurm caves anymore, actually payed for that ranger's 1.5k. I then realized that I would have to pay for the ranger's full run of 3k. I was REALLY poor back then, so I asked the runner if I needed to pay for the rest. The runner said no so I was pretty happy. We kicked the ranger at Rankor. Here, yet ANOTHER person in the group didn't want to pay, saying that he had paid the full amount before the run. We kicked him too and finished the run.

FREAKING NOOBS

You are aware of course that by doing so you are only enabling the moron to do it more. Far as he's concerned he could do it again, and have some other poor sap pay for it.

The guy didn't only not learn his lesson, he got a free ride out of it. I would have opted with going back, kicking him and taking a free ride. Might take longer, but you don't let assholes like that suck you out of 1-3K.

Reading all these posts really makes me RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing mad.. I mean, we are letting these jerks get away scot free for it.

I really feel like starting a registry for these people!

I'm a jerk.

I just got ran to grotto and didnt pay the 1k fee.

...because I didn't have 1k

After reading all these jerk thread. I come up with a conclusion for this. We need more peoples with admin power online in Guild Wars. I know this make it sound like a FPS Battlefield2, Counter Strike (where i'm still an admin for the server) But with admins online or quick response support staffs to ban people in second. It would make the population of jerks smaller. Granted, this would piss off whole load of peoples, but hey if you act like jerks, you get what you deserved.

I only met few jerks while playing Guild Wars, one being a 12 year old A-Hole, cuss out our mesmer first than took upon himself to called the team a piece of S@*% than continue to make fun of the mesmer than to our two necro. Finally he left the game which was a relief but our tomb run was wasted and no one got anything good out of it.

Oh, hey, good for you.

I don't know why you're exactly proud enough about it that you'd want to particularly share this with us though.

Well my first proper Jerk would probably be a protector monk in Tomb I wen stance warrior the guy was busy saying go what you want I am alright with it.

When I went inside he asked me to lure so I did. a few secs later he forgets to cast prot spells and ends up getting me killed due to running outta stance time...

after that he started saying "OMG MAN your stuffing this whole run up your meant to lure not hide (which I wasnt) DIP$^!!

few secs later i aggro a small group of monsters he starts yelling at me for getting more then 3 (which coincidentaly there are only packs of 3) I said get a ranger he said fine we go back. Kicks me out and dumps a mesmer in his group.

Oh another is a monk casting mending in Glints mesmer lair on you OVER AND OVER AND OVER again.

Well, there was this ass who kept calling me b1tch and stuff -.-; On the Divinity Coast Mission, I told everyone only 1 person should get cleansed, so that annoying eye doesn't attach to eye. Well this 1 person objected and said:
"you noob, we automatically get cleansed dumba$$. If we didn't, people would be running this mission."

In a matter of fact, you can run this mission, because if you do not step into the fountain that cleanses you, you do not have to be glued to that stupid Eye.

OK - Here's a quick respite from the on-going "Jerk-a-thon."

I was in the Citadel today, selling materials. One guy bought 5 Deldrimore steel ingots from me - at the price I asked, no haggling or anything! So, I opened a new trade window with him and gave him a couple of egg nogs as freebies (trying to clear out my inventory a bit ). he accepted and opened a new trade window with me, offering 750g! I asked him what was that for, thinking he needed more materials. He said "Freebie!"

What goes around comes around!

Tombs UW

ME / Healer LFP, bla bla warrior/not monk sec (monk prim/sec strips enchants dont you know)

Kinda jerk / ill give you 5k if you can tell me what monk skill strips enchants

(5 convos going on at mo so.....)

Kinda jerk / Ill give you 10k if you can tell me

(im kinda wandering what the hell hes on about here).

Me / i dont know any

kinda jerk / thats my point im right

me / and?

(and at this point i reliase he thinks i said monks strip enchants / he dosnt know what "finger of chaos" in UW does to monks)

Me / ahhhh youve got the wrong end of the stick what i mean is...

Player x is ignoring you

ROFL

this just wrong u JERK caus some1 is working to get u somewhere u want and then to get told that u aint paying would make me mad and report u since TBH u r in a verbal (text xD) contract with the runner so u should have paid

P.S wtf u goin to marhans if u aint got 1k i think ure telling lies TBH caus u only go to marhans for the armour and mabey the skills guy.

I always knew this thread would end up 1000+ posts long,
because, many of us here know the world is just full of "Them"

Personaly i wouldnt know where to start, i've come accross so many times
i wished id hit the print screen button a few times it makes me laugh, .

It's a shame but it's true that we are surrounded by some very strange people indeed!

my usual reaction to jerks ,

jerk says something realy anoyying like " i pwn u noooooooob!!"

i say: lol

jerk says something stupid like "tell your mom i want my watchback"

i say: i didn't know u could afford a watch

jerk says something sick like "i'll find u and rape u"

i say: LOL , *screenshot* hehe reported ^^

jerk just acts like a twat "im the pwning god of pwning with my mending!!"

i say: >_< *pokes*

These leet jerks who claim to never die are all around. Maybe some of you really agree with them, but...

Random arena, 2 on the team are dead, one is going down, one fairly healthy.

Me: "people have to res"
Dead Warrior: "peeps need to stay alive"

Ever hear of TEAMWORK, people? While the two air spikers and the warrior are concentrating on beating my squishy mesmer butt with Distortion and a pathetic-excuse-of-a-healing-spell Ether Feast, you oughta be KILLING them!

Guys, the best defense is really the Ignore list. Don't just ignore the jerk by not paying attention to his PMs, add him to the list and he will receive a message saying that he's ignored when he PMs you. And all a jerk wants to do is to send messages to you and keep it flaming.....just imagine how pissed he will be when he finds out he can't!
I know this from my own experience, and I wasn't flaming anybody, I just tried to defend myself (my monk character) against some guy explaining to me how attacking the bonus group of 20 White mantle on Aurora glade with 3 lvl 17 characters is perfectly possible and heal-able. I got carried away and damn, I was pretty pissed he ignored me after a while. So I imagine that for a "beef pro", it must be even worse.

The biggest jerk was me, yesterday.

I helped some guildies get through Abbadons mission, and when we arrived in Hell's Precipice, I told them I was afk to go eat. Well apparently I was still grouped with non-guildies and while I was afk I was merged into a group of 8, and w/o even making sure I was there they entered the mission.

I come back, sit down, see 8 people in my group, and I say "wow I was afk for 5 minutes and somehow I'm in a group doing the mission". The clock counts down and I'm yelling(in chat), "stop!!". We entered.

Of course, I didn't have time to be doing Hells so I told them sorry, but I was afk and I'm not doing this mission. And so I left them, all hurt and confused, they hadn't even been in the mission 30 seconds, and one of the monks has to leave.

O the humanity!

This thread has got me wondering. I know people can report and send pictures to ANet. But there still seems to be this distinct feeling of lack of enforcement.

Does anyone know first hand about anyone ever having their account banned or closed due to misbehaviour?

I had 2 in one pug for the Thirsty River mission. Before this group I had beaten this mission on 2 other characters and had no problems. I had always beat it on the first try and also got the bonus.

I was playing full heal monk and we had another monk who was primary heal and some protection. This was in a party of 6 so we obviously had a lack of hardhitting firepower, but it seems that monks are more and more common recently.

At the very beginning of mission:
Jerk 1 (lvl 18): My health is 285 of 285
I inwardly groan because he seems to thin that he is the worlds best Necro tank

After talking to Ghost:
Jerk 2: Ok everyone listen to me. I have done this mission many times and the only way you can beat it is for everyone to rush in and take out the priest right off.
Ele: you want us to al go in and not kill everything else? I am really squishy.
Jerk2: Yes it is the only way to win

We all die in the last area and we restart as a team. I know I should have looked for a new group but there were very few people in the outpost.

When we get to the first area the 2nd time:
Jerk 2: Ok everyone just do what I tell you and we will be fine

First mob Jerk 2 runs past followed by ele, and other monk
I am healing the Jerk 1 and the mesmer because they got stuck in a mob of enchanted warriors and such. I dropped 3 heal others, a Word of Healing, and an Orison all one after another into Jerk 1 (my healing was at 14 with divine at 12).

Jerk 1 dies...
Jerk 1: I can't heal my self. You F---ing monks can't just run off and leave me here. You f---ing suck!
Me: suck it, I sunk 3 heal others, a word of healing, and an orision into you. did you notice you health kept going up?
Jerk 1: Oh, well sorry *stops being a jerk*
Previously known as Jerk 1: Jerk2 you can't just leave us here to die, you are our only tank!
Jerk 2: We have to all go for the priest right off or we can't win

when we get to last area 2nd time:
Jerk 2: Ok, everyone listen. I am not trying to be bossy but I have done this mission many times and if we all go after the preist first we can win.

after killing first group (including priest):
Jerk 2: Wait everyone. We will attack the next group when the timer hits 4:30
Previously known as Jerk 1: Why not when it hits 3:45? Resurrect is on a 2 minute interval.
Jerk 2: It is not a challenge if we start then
All: We just want to finish the stupid mission. This is our second time through.
Previously known as Jerk 1: Ok lets go on 3:45 then
Jerk 2: No, 4:30
Jerk 2: OK, you guys need to realize something *long pause* I have done this mission many times and I know how it works *long pause* if you all can't start being nice and working as a team I am going to leave


When timer reaches 3:45 we all go except Jerk 2 who hangs back until everyone else has aquired aggro and then runs in at the priest...

Same thing kept happening until the whole party had DP and we were on the last group. We somehow convince all but Jerk 2's guildie (the mesmer) that attacking the priest first won't work because we are all too squishy and we finished the mission. We finished when the timer was at about 16 or so minutes and obviously did not get the bonus

I guess I was kinda a jerk too for retaliating, but oh well. Just another case of the self-appointed leader being a moron because he thinks he knows everything (but sadly does not) and his moronism grating on everyone else's nerves until none of us were very nice. Oh well we finished it...

Well, maybe we should look at it differently.

GW has something like a million or so players, I'd think with the law of averages being what it is that means there are a lot of jerks, bad players and 12 yr old kiddies with lousy attitudes and worse language skills among those.

As annoying as it is to deal with these people (and it is) lets just be glad that the same law also means there's a lot of great people in the game who enjoy playing it.

Ignore the jerks, enjoy the good ones.

PS: I've gotten a few messages out of the blue from total strangers lately calling me names, I've heard a few friends say the same thing, anyone familiar with this latest idiocy?

Yeah, had this happen once myself, and a few guildies have said something similar happened to them. Maybe it's replacing jokes about a certain no-talent actor as the new fad. x.x
