Ok, my current chara is called Pyro Tekniks Vii. If you see me around, feel free to say hi. I am a bit new to the game, as this is my only chara, which as of yesterday is level 20 and Ascended Anyways, I was out in a group for a mission (forget which one) and one of my teammates dies. I say "what the heck" and use ressurection signet (this guy was our monk, so he obviously couldn't res). He says: OMFG NOOB KEEP NUKING FAG! Then I leave. I go to beetletun and "rape some ettins" so to speak, and get 3 major vigors and a sup rune of smiting. Pwnt?

OK, I just went into Fissure with some PUG. Everything went fine, and we cleaned the area around the tower rather quickly. As we stood by the tower, waiting for the ghost to come up, out only Warrior said: "I'll go, there's nothing decent dropping" (by this time one shard had dropped, for me ) We though it were a joke, since we were just starting anyway, but after we cleaned the tower and finished the quest, he really leaves, followed shortly be one of the Eles.

Great stories, guys, this thread always keeps me entertained XD Here's one from me - not necessarily jerkish, but the unnecessary antagonism left a nasty taste in my mouth.
I joined a good team for Thunderhead Keep with my monk a while back - of course, I was slightly biased since my previous effort had involved a team with a couple of uninfused warriors . . . But this team was genuinely pretty skilled and cohesive, and we made it to the keep without a single hitch or death. As the mobs began to swarm the keep, the team kept on top of them, king safe, enemies swiftly and efficiently dispatched. I'd completed this mission with guildies on another character with less ease (sorry guildies, I still love you!). During a lull in the waves, I leapt in with enthused "Wow, this is great! Excellent job, guys!" in team chat.
I was pounced on. Not exactly for being friendly, but a couple of people in the same guild assailed me with a defiant and mighty: "Except we're not ALL guys, you know!". On its own, not a nasty comment, but the support from the person's guild friend made an issue of it that just utterly bewildered me.
Being an owner of le boobies myself, I think I know that not all GW players are men. The users weren't native English speakers, so I like to think in hindsight that they weren't aware that the colloquial use of 'guys' doesn't directly mean 'male persons'. But things like the lack of any response to encouragement and praise from all but a couple of members, and the absence of shared 'good job!'s that always seem to crop up post- and mid-mission in other good, or even bad, jerkless teams left me feeling like I'd played with a team of spiritless jerks who just happened to be good players. Later after that comment I said something like "Good job, guys . . . and gals " to show no hard feelings . . . but, nothing.
I don't judge jerkiness of players by whether they say 'gg' or not - I'm not ~that~ much of an attention RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO that I need to hear it in game. But it's still nice to know your teammates are actual living human beings at other, distant computers, who can equally appreciate fun and clever coooperative gameplaying, as opposed to silent robots >.> If I wanted henchies, I'd bring 'em!

I dont see anything wrong with that, Rebirth is such a skill that you can use all the time, hence unlimited (i.e. not Res Sig). I guess as I said he means he uses monk skill to res and not using res sig.

lol, in respect to taking permanent res to queen farm.. my monk walks in there with.. a res sig! Permanent res isn't necessary, there's a res schrine nearby and by the time your monk has to rebirth (res), the team is almost dead anyway. The res sig allowes me to pull our tank up to full life and keep protecting/healing him without energy loss due to rebirth, tank having little life due to resurect or.. me being dead because I've become alesia and brought restore life.
Needless to say, I freaked someone out when I used res sig that way, so for next round, had a permanent res on me too, just to keep the team happy knowing their monk had a usless skill

Most of the time you aren't resing someone in the middle of a heated battle...at least you shouldn't in most cases as the healer/protector of the group. But whenever I have a character that I switch to secondary monk, I usually do it for just the use of rebirth (see most of the rangers in tombs). What this allows is for a support character to handle some duties and help the monk out.
I will ocassionally res mid battle an important position with my ranger because my energy level recovers quickly and it isn't as important that I have no energy for a brief time instead of my monk. If you are the last survivor in a battle, rebirth allows you to reform saving you often much time retracing steps...and not forcing someone to get DP just because they are the last survior in the clear.
In missions, you don't get res shrines, you only get booted. I have known some monks to carry rebirth AND a res sig for that emergency hard res, but not many that I know would take just sig without a reusable res.

I am a big jerk too. Sometimes, when I am the leader of the party and I don't get my way, I let them die, and I watch them from a distance.
For instance, when I ask someone to drop the sceptre of Orr during battle, I refuse to heal them untill they do. That happens very fast, because all monsters will chase you as long as you hold that staff. When they die, I gloat; "Ah, you finally dropped the staff." And than I stand in its aura to get my share of the extra 10 energy
On the other hand, when I'm not the leader, I don't care what they do with the staff.

My new biggest jerk.
After the b/p group I was in killed the Darknesses in TotPK, 5 people dropped. It was my ranger, another ranger and a necro. So we decide to finish the mission if we can and attack the last group on the left. I had to pull out to self heal. The necro ends up dieing, but between us we managed to kill the dyrder. An ecto drops for the necromancer. The other ranger is like 'Don't rez him and we can split the money!'... meaning he wanted us to leave the one remaining Scythe alive and wait for the ecto to turn into community loot. That's a bonafide jerk right there. I rezzed the necro and then I pulled the Scythe away from the ecto, and then I put el jerko on ignore.

Nice job Edge Martinez, I wish we could make a group in our ignor list with:
1: Scammers
2: Jerks
3: do not go in team with this guys
I made a nice group for fow
me as Necro
2 warrior 2 monk 2 ele 1 mesmer
we all agree, I call and the rest fallow command (btw, I allways pay the cash when I make a group to FoW or UW)
we enter and I see 1 ele with a pet, o_O
ok nothing wrong we have 1 more shield it sucks but we can do it.
I ask every 1 w8 for the patrols and let them go back then I call the target, with this words not out of my mout compleetly the ele attacks and aggro the group, so we all go WTF 1 monk dies but we kill them all.
Next group the same and again and again, we were realy glad that he left with out saying anything after the first quest.

I was down in ToPK a couple of nights ago with my ranger, and ended up in a what seemed to be a great team. We made it to the courtyard with no trouble what so ever, not a single death and it went really fast. But then we came to the middle of that level, where the two wurms and a couple of pop-up groups are, and due to really, really bad agro we faced alot of foes. I saw what was about to happen and stayed as far away as I could, still attacking. The first player to go down was our monk, and after his death the others started to die one by one. When it was only me and another ranger still alive I started running, the other ranger did the same but didn´t make it far. So there I was, the only one alive and a mob chasing me. Then the Jerk, who was the one doing the luring, shows his true personality:
Jerk: OMFG, you stupid n00b, I hate f****** n00bs like you, if you had helped us we would have made it. (apparently he didn´t see that I was fighting as long as I could) I bet that you don´t even have rebirth N00B!! Players like ruin this game.
At this point I was still chased and didn´t have time to respond, and he kept insulting me, so by the time I was in safety I was really pissed. Normaly I just ignore players like this, but he really got to me and I started write down a really pissed off answer. But the other players beat me to it and told him what an idiot he was and that it was thanks to me that we still had a chance to finnish the game. All of the sudden he was really nice and said:
Jerk: Oohh, I´m sorry, I didn´t see that you were fighting, good thing that you ran.
Now, I was still pissed but didn´t want to lower my self to his level, so I simply responded:
Me: What? Did you say anything? I have an anti-IDIOT filter and don´t see what complete JERKS say to me.
I went back and started to rez my teammates, the Jerk the last, off-course.
We finnished ToPK, guess who got the Bulwark. Jerk. Life just isn´t fair.

Well, finally have one to tell. Ember capping group last night, party of eight, two monks. Get to the very first cap, one monk caps his secondary and leaves. Second boss we hit is a monk boss. Yep, last monk caps and leaves the group. My poor warrior still needs to cap out there... sigh...

We use to go to the tombs late at night with guildies, to relax after FoW or UW. We know the place, and make it all the time, so generally we're relax and don't take this seriously. This time there was me and the guild leader, and 6 unknown guys.
1st level, we start talking between guildies while barraging.
R/Jerk: Do you chat or play?
Me: Both.
R/Jerk: No, you chat or you play, but not both.
Mo/Jerk: Yes she's right, chat or play.
Me: Can't you see I'm attacking?
Guildie: Bah, let's use the Guild channel.
Me: XD
<convo keeps going on guild channel - nobody else talks>
<after a while, some other nice players in the team relax and start joking with us - jerks pissed>
<a bit later>
*R/Jerk has earned a skill point!*
R/Jerk: woot I've almost 100 unspent skill points!
Guildie: Yeah?
Me: You should spend them then and try to unlock all your skills.
R/Jerk: I've already unlocked all the skills.
Me (guild channel): Why don't I believe her/him? Maybe because after having spent enough time to get what? 5M XP? she still cant afford a 15k armor?
Guildie: XD
<I skip the episode:
*R/Jerk picks the rare raven staff (or whatever)*
R/Jerk: Oh! Nice staff! I wonder how much I can sell it for... 200k maybe.>
We finally slay the darknesses , Mo/Jerk gets one more ecto and we go back to the tombs.
R/Jerk: One more?
*Kick*
-----------------------------------------------------------------
An old one in the Dragon's lair. I dunno why I was bored and decided to help random guys with this mission. I didn't need it, nor the caps there. I join a team. There were a W and a R of the same guild. First level, I call:
*I'm using Oath Shot on something*
(I was trying a oath shot/stance/trap build)
R/Jerk: ROFL! Any good ranger knows that we don't use oath shot!
R/Jerk: Oath Shot sukz!
Me: Any good ranger - no: any good player knows that there are many builds and that the choice of the elite depends on the build.
*R/Jerk stunned: he wasn't expecting such an answer*
W/Jerk (from the same guild): Sir Mad, You realy suksaz a ranger!
Me: *ignore*
The guy kept insulting me, telling me how noobish I was, etc., so after a while, I got angry as well, and told him to f*** off. More insults.
We finally kill all the facets, and face the big thingy for the bonus.
Me: Guys, wait before...
W/Jerk picks an egg.
Me: ...attacking.
Too late to tell them about her stance, and the bad idea of attacking her then, nor the necessity for the other ranger to interupt her (we had decided he would carry an interupt), nor the good idea of letting me drop some traps before the fight...
The monk was good, but this time that wasn't enough to keep W/Jerk alive. He died and started insulting me again, telling me the same s*** than before. uet, eh, I don't talk to dead guys! Of course, as no one knew what to do in the team, that was a wreck. Finally, the 2 last players alive were me and the monk, who died soon after. The nasty drag had a 2/3 full health bar, and it was between me and her now. After 5 freakin minuts spent laying traps around, hasseling her with poison, and avoiding her attacks, I succeeded in making her HP drop to 1/3. If it was a novel, I would have kept fighting heroically, and killed her on my own, but unfortunatly it's not, and I died. I spent 5 mins alone with her when W/Jerk died after 30 sec, despite the monk healing him.
Me: So, who is the noob, now?
*Leave*

I play often with a good group of friends, and I am usually the last one alive, thankfully equipped with rebirth, when things go wrong. And that is because I am one of the quickest to realize "this is definitely not going to work", and then I run away. And not a one of my friends complaines like the jerk in the quoted post, that if I stayed we could have beaten them. Instead, they all thank me for being able to get away, let the enemy back off, and then rebirthing the entire group.
Its amazing how many GW players do not realize this. "Retreat" is a very valid and important tactic.

Taking a stance and continuing to fight when the situation is hopeless is just absolute poor playing, especially in FOW, UW or ToPK where party death means having to start all over again.

I have found a build that works extremely well in FOW using Oath Shot, Throw Dirt, the three non-elite ranger traps, distracting shot, rebirth and troll unguent. If I play wisely, I can not only cast traps before a battle, but also during a battle by sneaking around and using throw dirt to blind the enemy. Oath Shot is the key skill here. It allows me to use Throw Dirt very often, compared to its usual 45 second recharge time. Oath shot also helps let me use distracting shot a bit more often when needed.
Practiced Stance is another elite that probably is laughed at by most GW players. But combined with Choking Gas it allows a ranger to be a very effective interrupter to all spellcasters, including fast casting monks and mesmers.

Suddenly, a Wammo comes running to me, with about 5 agros behind him, he died at my feet. Suffice to say I was dead in 2 secs flat (Monks don't wear armour. They wear clothes). Don't bring agros to your healer, you Jerk!

But a good team will take into account where the other survivors happen to be. We often split when retreating, in order not to lure the enemy into all of the retreating party. Occasionally we need to do the sacrifice thing, where one member needs to lure the enemy away from the others, but usually that isn't needed.

I think that when you play too often with people that are jerks it starts to rub off. I have been playing for over 6 months, and can count the number of times I have been a leaver on one hand. Today I found myself coming up with a very wicked plot though. To teach someone a lesson about teamwork.
I was doing the Iron Mines mission with some friends. I needed bonus, and they needed the whole thing. We had to get a few extra people though, so there were a couple rangers and a warrior that we didn't know. We all agreed in the beginning before even moving that we would not be running any part of the mission. Not to infusion either. Everything was going just fine until shortly before the cave with the seer. We were outside about to aggro the Azure Shadows when one of the rangers got impatient. They charged in to the seer, drawing every single shadow along with them. Then someone didn't skip the cutscene, knowing we were getting our butts kicked! I have no problem with people wanting to watch the cutscene, but we were under assult! So, the cutscene ends and the aggro person is dead, and everyone is at 1/2 life or less. Two more people died in the fight, but we were able to come out of it.
The other monk sent me a message saying that his life was now in my hands. I really didn't want it, and I told her so. A team normally does need everyone to be successful. So we went on for a little bit when I hatched the plan. I was going to let him die at Markis so he couldn't cap Barrage. It keeps him alive as long as we need him, and hopefully tells him not to be an idiot. She loved the idea, and we made sure the party leader knew about it too.
On the way to the bonus, it was like pulling teeth to keep him from charging in for Markis before we were ready. We managed it though. It was smooth sailing for the most part to get the bonus too. It normally is from the back way. The other monk and I asked everyone to clear the area before talking to the captive. Someone didn't listen though, one of the rangers, not sure which. We still did it pretty easily when everyone realized what happened though.
We had such a good team that he didn't die though. After finishing the mission, in town he makes this pitiful atempt at an apology, and I kicked him right out. Here I hatch this evil plan, and it completely fails. I guess it is a good thing, I wouldn't want to give up being mostly nice. Just caught me on a bad day I guess, lol. So, I was not that successful at being a jerk in my jerk story.
I was doing the Iron Mines mission with some friends. I needed bonus, and they needed the whole thing. We had to get a few extra people though, so there were a couple rangers and a warrior that we didn't know. We all agreed in the beginning before even moving that we would not be running any part of the mission. Not to infusion either. Everything was going just fine until shortly before the cave with the seer. We were outside about to aggro the Azure Shadows when one of the rangers got impatient. They charged in to the seer, drawing every single shadow along with them. Then someone didn't skip the cutscene, knowing we were getting our butts kicked! I have no problem with people wanting to watch the cutscene, but we were under assult! So, the cutscene ends and the aggro person is dead, and everyone is at 1/2 life or less. Two more people died in the fight, but we were able to come out of it.

Ive one the party leaivng thing, but i dont think it makes me a jerk, since it was Nolani, or the one before that, with the flamekeepers you have to follow for bonus.
me and the other guy both W/Rs, we had a dropper before we released the first prisoners, and then our monk dropped just before the movie after the last prisoners becuase we cdnt rez, ok always take the signet, i usually monk secondary forgot i wasnt monk and went in without rez.
Anyway we get to the flame keepers. And ive done that bonus alot, on my first character it took forever to do bcos we kept landing bad team mates that wudnt listen or didnt know waht to do. So now for this mission i always sound like an arrogant summit or other and explain in great detail what needs to be done. I knew it wud be tough 2 x W/R, but wed give it a try.
Me: "Ok, remember, we follow this group, do not attack them"
Other Guy "OK"
OG runs off towards group
Me: *crap maybe eh ddint understand* "noo come back, dont agro! do not agro"
The group reach him, he had plenty of time to run back after i told him, but he didnt.
So i took great pleasure in his screams for help as they killed his pet then him, at one point he led them towards me, but since i believe cowardice is the better part of valour, i always keep a running skill and got away.
He spent a few mins after his death flaming me with typical insults of my noobish behaviour, and how we'd fail the bonus. While i calmly explained that he was probably newr to the game than I, and he ahd done the exact opposite of what i said.
I then left the group in search of another PuG to do it. Imo that mission takes too long to do at such low levels for me to waste time with him beyond that.
The worst guy i can remember was just yesterday, playing again under my W/R I managed to, at level 12 run under bad spawns from piken to gredniths, to yaks. pleased with myself I decided to pop back to ascalon and offer some free runs up to people. No takers, thought it was a bad day for them, so moved to Piken. No takers. Moved to Grendith's, didnt expect to see anyone, I was more looking as ive never spent time there before, checking out the skill trainer and this guy goes.
Jerk Monk "LF Pro Runner to Yak's will pay 3k"
me thinking that this is grendith's its not worth anything like 3K, and that as opposed to being a repeating player he was a new guy who knew roughly where he needed to go, but no idea how fare or where, he was a Mo/Me 3
Me: "I take you for free, doing test runs"
*invite*
JM: "WTF U only level 12 you n00b"
I go to say sumthing, but he leaves, so i move it to whipser and he was ignoring me.
Ok so i know that W/R 12 isnt the ebst time to do runs, but still, ive not failed that run yet, and i keep getintg higher levels so :S
Also today (gawd sorry for long post) was in Drok's with my W/R again, asking for a runner to Copper or Grotto, since i have the money to spare, I wanted to get grotto armour without wasting money on Drok's stuff.
straight off i'm inundated with the various "oh you can't run to grotto" "you must be infuzored" PMs, obviously to save my embarsment for asking for a newb run that didnt exsists.
I explained to each one that it was quite possible since my un-infused LA armour wearing N/Mo 20 had ran Grotto from Copper (not easily of course but still).
Anyway, most of them go "oh right, didnt know that" or likewise and leave i at that.
But one just kept going on and on at me about not really wanting a run, just wanting to brag about the one I had made and that i was a newb and to be a runner i should be a wammo, etc etc you can imagine the stuff.
I preceded to show her that i was wearing collectors armour from Ascelon and that i was level 14 and was most certinaly not just there for the bragging rights.
and the barrage continued. I cried on the inside

Ah...
My best stories come from my Mesmer who I ascended at level thirteen... which only jumped him up to eighteen.
Sure there were lots of rude people in the desert that implied a level 10-12 mesmer could not be of any value. I said if I got here I must not be all that bad, heh? They ofcourse accused me of paying for a ride... which I actually had not done.
But that was not the worse.
I had never done UW before so I decided to go check it out with my newly ascended Mesmer. I went to ToA and started advertising for a group. I immediately got yelled at by a W/Mo tank - we will call him Mr. Uber Tank (no that was not his name).
I am still looking for Mr. Uber Tank so that he can pay up.

- Mr. Uber Tank: You fn' noob you need to be ascended to go to UW.
- Me: I know, I am.
- Mr. Uber Tank: No, if you were ascended you would be level 20.
- Me: No, you face your mirror self and get 50,000 exp; it has nothing to do with being level 20.
- Mr. Uber Tank: Buddy you get instantly raised to 20 stop being such an fn' noob.
- Me: Want to bet? How about all your gold vs. all of mine that I get in UW?
- Mr. Uber Tank: Sure I will take your money, not that you have that much
- I promptly show him my 200K in a trade window
- Mr. Uber Tank: Easy money noob.
- Me: Invite me.
- He invites me and I accept.
- He explains to the group our bet and proceeds to take us in to UW
- Me: Well we are in UW and here I am!
- Me: Pay up!
- Mr. Uber Warrior drops
- with only seven people we actually manage to do the quests necessary to get the ranger his spider
I am still looking for Mr. Uber Tank so that he can pay up.

Maybe he decided he would try solo farming with a Mesmer.

When I see someone make fun of someone else or I see someone call somebody noob. I sit back a bit to determine who the jerk is. I figure out who started it or whom the real bad guy is in the situation then I jump in and I don't stop until they leave. Then I add them to my friends list and I wait for them to log on another day and I go right after them again and remind them of who I am and why I am being the BIGGEST jerk in GW to them. I stay on them again until they logoff or put me on ignore. Then I will logon with another account and go right after them again.
I am not mean by nature but I can't stand bullies. When you push back they run off crying. I know I am risking getting myself banned with this type of behavior but someone needs to teach the real jerks a lesson.

Had a guy earlier today.
HIM "Pro runner to War Camp, 500g only"
me *ahh seems like a good one, never been there, let's see....*
a long run later, protracted by rather horrible cases of naffness on behalf of that whammo and we arrive. It should note that when we finally died close enough to the portal for the camp, he was about second or third furthest from the end. So when we zone into there.
HIM "rar rar Pay Up, 500g"
Whole party "errr nuuuuuu"
and so on for a bit, the jerk threatened to report all of us for not paying up, and cept going on about how we had conned him. we all just wanted to slap him.

I was helping some friends in Ice Caves one night and was waiting for my last friend to come join us. I was the group leader and I get 2 invites from 2 wammos, I normally like to wait to see if anyone else I know wants to come along so I leave the spots open to friends. Well I was going to invite them both in then both PM me with "Let me in the grp you stupid GOREDENGINE(female dog)" . Yeah that is a good way to get into a group so I picked up stefan and little thom
