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

I have two engaging tales from long ago to tell. I don't have screen shots and don't remember them exactly, and I'd like to send a shout out of jerk to all RA paladins in general who rush out into the fight and over extend, blaming me the monk later for letting him die :S.
Story Number 1:Me and Jerk, so original. We were doing Hell's Precipice, last mission in the game doing well bonus down we're going to end up those portals, I'm on my mesmer, and suddenly this guy who's another mesmer in the party(dunno how that happened but I got the game pretty early so I suppose people werent as allergic to having mesmers in their party for missions) asks me, "Are you using Energy Surge as your elite," I agree, my goal at that point was trying to be direct dmg mesmer with domination, e-surge has that eighty point hit so I took it. He suddenly starts raving at how noob I am and that I should bring Mantra of Recall. I tell him I'm not going for inspiration stuff more of an offensive angle, and he calls me noob again. A jerk and a bit of an idiot if I do say so myself.
Story Number Two:Conducted in LA some guy randomly whispers me with this conversation, I do not remember either side completely correctly but with the gist of it I replicate a likable conversation, both sides are completely grammatical to avoid confusion and over harrasment of the jerk.
Jerk:Where did you get that armor? It's totally gay.(I'm wearing 15k Granite Citadel Noble's Armor)
Me:It's 15k armor, and I think it looks pretty cool. (At this point he's run up to me, I notice him wearing full body Drok's Rougue's Armor)
Jerk:You're a disgrace to all Mesmers everywhere, you make all of us look like fa***** (At this point I'm totally confused and pretty p.o.ed)
Me:If you don't like it don't buy it, I'll tell you what it is just in case. (I think I told him the opposite of what it was, being pretty annoyed by now, hoping he would buy the armor he hated so much)
And I thought some 15k armor would get me a little bit of respect. Shows you how good that got me, the guy shoved me on ignore after a few more traded insults, this must be the most memorable of all stories in my book, random ppl being jerks for no reason...

its those damn goths and losers, always thinking about death and killing

I very much doubt that most of these are made up. Considering how badly jerk-filled the Guild Wars community is right now, I'd say that there is probably no reason to make them up.

Oh, and this thread has many, many posts that do not use very good grammar, yet the jerk still shines through as a jerk.

Being that people are always complaining about one very specific topic, I decided to address it. Being that this is the jerk forum, I think it falls under it. Well, here it is, the grand difference:

W/mo: a primary class warrior with monk as his secondary for healing and various other purposes.

Wammo: A W/mo (or really W/anything in most cases) who is or has the intelligence statistic of a 12 year old. Wammos are easily pricked out by their constant use of "L33T" speech, horrible grammar, arrogance, constant complaining about PvE ruining PvP, over aggros, retarded actions and otherwise annoying the other players in the party.

So just remember, W/mo is a profession, Wammo is a state of mind.

This thread got me thinking about the patterns we've been seeing in jerk behavior, and I decided to compile them all into one handy checklist for amusement:

Guild Wars Jerk Notification

Oh my gosh I have not had such an entertaining lunch hour
in some time.

I never even realized this thread was here.

I would venture to guess these stories are true.
I have run into some unbelievable odd ducks and just plain mean
and rude peeps.

For the most part I try never to get dragged in and if someone
is being picked on or being ripped off if I can stop it I will.

I love GW and no jerk is going to ruin it for me

Guild Wars:
Doing the frost gate mission I think, been awhile, and this guy who was a complete a-hole the whole time grabs the torch you need to light the beacons at the end. At the last beacon when all that's left to do is use the torch on the beacon to win it he says something along the lines of he's going to go afk for a few hours now, have fun being screwed out of the mission. I don't know how long he really went away for, I grabbed a drink and he still wasn't back when I returned so I just quit the mission and did it over.

Any MMORPG:
Playing Diablo a decade ago I was one of those legit players, I played the game as it was intended instead of using cheats. In this game there was a hack running rampent that allowed players to make themselves invisible and invulnerable. You'd see that someone had entered the game but the name would be blank. I didn't really care, I just went about playing. They would usually find you, kill you in one shot, then grab your ear as a trophy of their "victory," though I fail to see how they could get any sense of accomplishment cheating so badly, and leave. Well one a-hole went all out in ruining my day. He went to the last level and dragged a bunch of monsters to the stairs. If you died to a player you dropped an ear, if you died to monsters you dropped all your stuff. So I went down the stairs and was dead before I was even finished loading. And of course since I can't get down there with equipment I sure can't get down there naked to get my stuff back.

It seems some people out there derive great pleasure from making others as miserable as possible.

I was monking in the glint mission and we had 2 leavers because this one ranger kept rushing in or "leroying." So I just said i'm not going to heal you
after this i was called a slut and all the good stuff after that person died and i told them not to rez him because we've rezed him several times!! (and all they did was run into mobs)
after that and several other problems like that i deleted my pve monk and have never made another one.

I've recalled some favorites from the past:

Putting a FoW group together one time and the discussion got to the mix of classes that got into the party. Well, the leader added a second warrior and one of the ele's just went off on him saying that you only needed one warrior for FoW and that he was a noob for adding a second one. He proceeded to quit before we headed out.

On THK I was in a group where we were chatting amongst each other and I mentioned how satisfying it was to see all the yellow numbers that pop up when you hit with Spiteful Spirit into a large mob. He called me a noob for saying that because no one else could see the damage numbers besides me. He proceeded to quit.

Another one on THK was going off on how he was not getting anything out of this mission and was thinking of leaving. He was a monk and some players begged him to stay. He totally played this up asking for reasons he should stay, and endless remarks about how he should be doing something else, and how much of a better player he was, commenting on our play in a negative manner, etc., etc. Finally, after all the adulation had worn off and he got annoyed that no one was sucking up to him anymore, he left.

There's nothing wrong with being a smiting monk, unless you tell your group you're a healing or prot... Being a monk primary without a ressurect spell is usually a no-no though.

biggest jerk ive met so far is myself in the guild/alliance chat when i yelled and swore at everyone and everything about everyone and everthing

biggest jerk was a dude who ran using the sprint ability after a match. from that moment on, every character i make is part ele and has gale.

I think the biggest jerks are 55s who dont tell you they are 55s until everyone is dead/semi-dead and Leeroy-ers.

I think we all know this conversation:

Me: *** WTS Purple Minipet Kirin. 45k ***
Jerk: 5k
Me: add 40k and you are the owner of a very nice pet mate
Jerk: 10k
Me: its 45k dude
Jerk: Ok, 15k, final offer
Me: ...
Jerk: ------ noob, ur mom ------ --- ----

happens daily, but still annoys the crap outta me... People really should know their price checks and act normal at normal prices

HHAHAHA omg i know exactly what ur talking about, i get so many bad offers for nice weapons, i post a price and they offer a non max dmg bow, 2 major runes, and like a plant fiber, grrrr

as a monk i usually dont bring a rez sig. im full heal and is you donmt like it well dont invite me (i makesure i tell the group that im full heal) and sometimes they dont listen and later call me a noob for no rez sig..well w/e

i had a smiting monk named "I Heal Alot" once. that was my fav monk ever.

Irony != Jerk

where did that come from? Goths don't always think about death, only the mall-rat ones that try too hard to be morbid.

I think that is just bullshit what he said about I'm better than you irl. He's probably some pasty white nerd which sits at home all day.

Exactly - I remember something similar from WoW.. Paladins that refused to ever heal other people and only wanted to DPS were called loladins

I made a W/- called loladin

As I said, he had just read up on how to troll/flame, there are several sites that explain how to be a complete ass

haha naw just anyone at all really
its crazy going in an ra district watching people say different things then outta nowhere someone says "go die" or "stfu and die"

I'm sure all of you are aware of the kaineng-marketplace or vice-versa scam. I just found this jerk/scammer in the market and when I saw him offering runs to Kaineng for 100g. I tell ppl that there is no need for it's a direct route without mobs. Of course this jerk starts flaming at me because he is only helping ppl out (yeah right). I tell him that they don't need taxis for it's a direct, safe route and he tells me: "But I do it really fast". At this point I'm at a loss for words b/c who would expect such an answer?? anyway I keep following him by guessing to which district he's going and repeating. After a short while he starts the usual rant: STFU u nOOOOb, RED ENGINE GORE RED ENGINE GORE RED ENGINE GORE RED ENGINE GORE RED ENGINE GORE RED ENGINE GORE RED ENGINE GORE RED ENGINE GORE RED ENGINE GORE RED ENGINE GORE. At this point I say: "Telling ppl the truth is noobish.... ENLIGHTENING!"

I've never been called names for making remarks allong these lines: "running to Keineng? You can make money with that, zOMG! Better start doing it, no mobs and easiest gold evah! Anybody can do that run"

There is one mob of inflicted assassins and necromancers between the Marketplace and Kaineng City. They come from a hole in the ground, and they explode when you kill them. You have to runthrough them to get up the stairs to Kaineng City. They tend to lag up computers to make it extra hard to pass them.

I hope that was sarcasm. There is a path you can take that avoids them entirely, and hell if they lag me up.

Well, despite this is a 69+ pages(!) thread, I feel obligated to share my story as well about Ingame-Jerks
It's a rather long one, but bare with me, because it's really funny (if you ask me at least). It is about the "power" you posess to excersise over Jerks when the totally rely on you, but fail to realize you are the acctual one "in charge"

Me and my girlfriend played Bloodstone Fen in the Maguumas but failed the bonus, simply because noone in the team knew it...
So we reenter Bloodstone Fen and put out in main chat:
LFG BONUS ONLY - HAVE MONK - 2/6 (don't remember acctual teamlimit, but I think you all get the picture) I play as Monk/Mesmer and she Warrior/Monk.

Doesn't take long untill we are invited in what seem to be a coregroup of 4 friends and mission has started before you even know it...

Well nevenmind, I think, I'ts bonus-time ^^

So a few minutes into the mission I ask: Does anyone know bonus?
No answer...
So after a few more minutes I repeat my question: Does anyone know bonus?
This time I do get an answer: ys
The mission goes on and we are getting close to the end, so I ask: Where is bonus? Then follows this looong conversation about all of the guys KNOWS bonus, BUT has forgotten it, BUT they are ALL sure that we will stumble upon it before the end... I claim I have BEEN to the end, and we are getting awfully close...

Jerk: Relax, we do bonus
Me: When?
Jerk: Soon, trust me...

When we are about to engage in the last big fight before the end, I have had it!

Me: I wont go one more step until I see some bonus, gentlemen! You know or not?
Jerk: Yes
Me: Where is it then?
Jerk: I forgot
Me: You claim you know it, BUT you have forgotten it???
Jerk: Yes
Me: Then you dont know it???
Jerk: No
Me: WTF!!!!

A few minutes pass, me and my girlfriend planning mabye to go look for it ourselves since the path behind us is clear, the Jerk says:

Jerk: C'mon now, screw bonus, lets do mission

It is quite obvious to me now, that these four guys DON'T know bonus, they were just fooling us to get a monk in the party since there were no other monks around at the time

Me: NO! We joined in for bonus, NOT mission
Jerk: Bonus suck! Heal us!
Me: No
Jerk: Heal us! We die!
Me: Die then... I dont care... I only care for bonus

So the four of them rush into a mob and dies, with no W/Mo to protect them or Monk to heal them... There is an argument about wether I should resurrect them or not, and SUDDENLY they remember the bonus! Like magic!

Me: So NOW you remember???
Jerk: Yes
Me: So where is it?
Jerk: Just a little bit further
Me: Thets the end of the mission, NOT bonus
Jerk: How about this? Resurect us so we can finish this damn mission! I hate you if you make us play for XX minutes and don't finish mission! We want to get to next town!
Me: And I want bonus!
Jerk: No bonus! Mission! Resurrect us now!

Men and my girlfriend hasn't told the others that we know each other, instead she has participated in the chat like any other player, but sitting right next to me.

(This is the best part)

Me: Ok, how about this??? BYE!!!

And I quit the mission and travel back to Bloodstone Fen, leaving the others dead and my girlfriend standing over their corpses since she and I killed the last mobs...

Jerk: n00b!!! fokker!!! idiot!!! (and so on) Warrior, resurrect us!
Girlfriend: I don't have res... sry... and Monk left

Well, you can imagine the reactions from the four corpses
My girlfriend stayed behind a moment to listen to all the nice things they had to say about me, and I suppose you understand it was in "french", he he...

Now THAT is what I call power!!!
Never mess with the monks!

I had a group miss the mission because I wanted the bonus and signed up for just that, was more then willing to help with mission. However, it turned out that we missed both.

Tried it. Couldn't find any way around them. The only remotely way around them brought me to the stairs I have to take to Kaineng City. Still I had to fight them.
Darn, I hate these graphics.

OMG again with the lag, it tends to lag up YOUR computer. not computers, as in other peoples, cause it works fine for me and my guild.

and just to be sure, are you talking lag as in connection drops and your character doesnt move or are you saying choppy animation, cause if so thats just your computer not handeling the graphics. huge diffrence. please serious answer dont get all angry.

Are you stalking me?

nope easy to find you, you post about lag in every thread (infact its the only reason I remember you cause I see you post about it so much), just refer to my edit in my last post. like I said im not trying to be an ass im trying to see what your problem is now so maybe it can be fixed

You are not helping at all. You are just constantly repeating how good you and your guildies are. Would you mind stop following me now? You are just an other online jerk.

never said we were better then you, and im being rather nice about it. but if you dont want to seek help for the problem at least stop posting in every thread about your "lag". if you do either one I wont say a peep to you ever again

Now that was funny. I've had problems like that before. I wanted to do a mission. I got a party. I knew they thought I was a healing monk. Oh to their surprise then they discover i'm a smiting monk.

They started shouting at me when they died calling me a noob. Though my angle in the argument was saying that they shouldn't just assume something based on a persons profession. That was fun.

Me on my monk, just today, I got a random invite from a party, but didn't accept it:

Jerk: Help us with mayhem
Me: No I already did it
Jerk: so what youre gonna help us
Me: Look for another monk, i already did it no need to do it twice
Jerk: RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO you

Then he spams my in whispers and keeps inviting me to the party for 5 mins while i was standing there just chatting with my guildmates. Then, after a last RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO you, he ignores me.

i just leave invitations pending or they will retry to invite me. Couldn't you just warp to some other district or were you actually having fun annoying him?

Ladies, LADIES....chill....put the claws away already

I really hate the people who are in Zu Kin Corridor and when u say lf fow or uw thay message u going "newb u gotta go to toa to go there" ive gotten that a few times if u dont know dont say anything
