12 Step Program To Getting On Ignore

This guide is more a less too show people how you can be rude and too avoid being rude in game. Also this will help you too try and avoid getting people mad. No need to kiss butt all the time and not stand up for yourself. This is mostly a way of showing you manners do go a long way even if it is a game. Manners are not over rated they actually can gain you respect. No one is perfect really; hell I have done a few of these dumb things early on in my gaming start. Of course if you feel as though you and you alone only count then you will have plenty of friends…..on ignore.



(1.) You know everything about the game.

Seriously you do (nods). You may have just purchased the game yesterday and read all the guide books but some one is trying to help you out with your build or a certain tactic in game. Usually a person with manners would take in consideration of their opinions. But see their opinions don’t matter at all because you are the god or goddess of all knowledge. So you end up yelling at them with every curse word you can think of then put them on ignore. You walk away knowing your right and they are wrong….so very very wrong.



(2.) The Leroy Jenkins Maneuver.

Ok so you’re on a team and the team sees a room full of baddies. Now logically the team wishes too come up with a plan and buff people before making any drastic moves that may make a trip too the hospital. But you don’t care so you rush in and start beating on everything. The team sees you moved in and they rush in after you too try too help out. Next thing you know your all dead. Now again logically you would fess up to your mistake and apologize for your stupidity. But once again you don’t have manners and their not even considered in your book. So you pop up on the team window cursing at the team blaming them for not paying any attention. You go even further by whining and complaining that you now have debt and it’s all their fault. So you quit the team, put every person that was on the team on ignore and walk away with out an ounce of remorse of how much of a jerk you are.



(3.) Hit and Run.

So you’re about 5 bars from getting the most awesome power in your set. You’re really sick and tired of trying too beat on the baddies that you feel are too low for you. So you think to yourself I’ll go some place else, Grandville looks good even though I am level 37. So you head their and fight some lovely high level bugs too beat on. Well they are 5 levels above you but you really don’t care because in your mind you are the uber! So you start beating on the boss barely putting a dent in him and you start popping inspirations like candy. Ok, now you’re out of inspirations and you’re almost dead so you take off running. In the middle of your jog you see another player standing by a contact minding their own business. So you make a quick decision and run the baddie into them. Well the person ends up killing the baddie instead of taking off. You just now make a rack load of XP and realized that was sure fun as hell. So you repeat this method until you feel it’s boring. Then of course too that one person sending you a tell cursing at you did not help either. Hmm I wonder why I am on their ignore list now.


(4.) Spammer.

So you’re bored as hell and cannot think of anything too do. Oh wait I can go too a zone like Atlas and sit in on broadcast and just start spouting off of how much I hate pies. I really do like pies but that’s besides the point I need to complain and get noticed because I need attention, I crave it like beer on a hot summer day after a long day at work. Then after a while you notice a lot of people getting angry and putting me on ignore. Success! I finally was able to piss of an entire zone now I can sleep better at night.


(5.) Just can’t stop arguing.

So you got booted off another team because you decided too do another Leroy maneuver and too add you ended up telling the tank that your hamster can do a better job at keeping arggo. So you send the leader a tell with words of wisdom “Why was I booted?” “Huh” “You going to answer me you, you useless piece of...” Let’s leave it there shall we. So you log in a different character to continuing your ranting until you used all characters on your one account and now have too switch over too your other account. By this point you realized buying two accounts was so worth it. Extra ranting for you and of course you feel much better for being a jerk.


6.) Begging.

Your character is just starting out in the game and you need enhans really bad. Of course if you had manners you work your butt off to buy your own enhans, but that takes work and your too lazy to work on your charrie that hard too buy any thing. So you see a high level character in the zone. You end up sending numerous tells such as “Will you PL me plz?” Or what you want “Can I have influ plz?” You continue too do this until you finally realize you can’t no more because you’re on ignore. So you sit and wait keeping a look out for the next high level character that come along. Until then you will sit there with the “Panhandle” emote on hoping too get a few “pennies” dropped in your cup.


(7.) Blind invites.

You really want a team badly, you need a team badly. You could sit there with the search window open looking for people then asking them if they want to join. But see that’s too much work, why sit there and ask them when you can just whip them an invite instead of asking politely. So you start whipping out invites like crazy and each one is declined. Ok, so that’s not working so after you send the invite you then send them a tell asking too join with you. For some reason they don’t respond of course you don’t think nor want too believe it’s because you sent them a blind invite and they are now mad at your rudeness. So now your mad, you have steam coming out of your ears and send them a tell with every curse word you can think of. They finally respond. Success! You stop cursing and then ask them “You want too team with me plz?”



(8.) Drop and Go.

Ok, so the leader of this SF or TF is looking for people too join. They finally ask you and you go ahead and agree with it. Half way through the first mission you start whining like a 5 year old “How much longer is this damn thing? Then when it goes further in too the 3rd mission you ask again “How much longer is this damn thing?” “How many more missions are there?” You finally cannot take any more by the 4th mission and decide its time too go. Oh you don’t say why you have to leave or tell the leader before you start you don’t have a lot of time. You just leave. When the leader asks you the next day why you cut and run you reply “None of your freaking business!” Then continue with some lovely curse words. Why should they need to know you’re just a stuck up brat who really doesn’t care about anyone but yourself. I mean seriously why should I need too explain my reason for leaving, its not rude ok, it’s perfectly normal in my world. I never tell my boss why I just up and left work with no reason said, doing the same too a team is no different.



(9.) Debt Complain.

Most people know that debt really isn’t that big of deal especially with the exemplar system. But you don’t care you got debt and the world will soon know your anger. Oh and I got debt because I choose too run into a lot of baddies on my own accord earlier; but see now I’m on a team and shall use them as my personal punching bag! “I got debt earlier this sucks, how the hell am I suppose too level now!” You continue on with your ranting which leads you not paying attention to you surroundings. So you run into a group of baddies and die because you where too busy ranting. You now have more debt and soon the world will know how angry you are-again. After about 5 minutes the leader cannot take much more and gives you the boot. So you once again send them a tell with words of wisdom “Why hell did you kick me, I need to work off my debt, this debt sucks, can you invite me plz?” Of course the team leader ignores you and now you have to find another team to rant off too. Man does this debt suck.


10.) Leader me this.

So your on a team, you really really don’t like the leader, you think it’s his costume given off the bad vibes. Well hmm the leader is nice I wonder if this will work “Hey can I have the star for a second I really want to invite a friend?” So the leader asks “What’s his or her’s name?” So you have too think of something quick and long to confuse them so you can get that shinny star. Uh it’s “PwnedPies.Com234567867432.” Yeah that’s it! So the leader is busy and hands you the star so you can invite your buddy. Success! Now you have the star you could take the leader’s trust in you and just invite some one randomly or hand it back but it’s too late now for that. So you boot the leader and tell the team you are their god now and all will worship me! Some things wrong, where did every one go? Guys? Your god is speaking!! Then you realize the only person who is listening too you is a Malta sapper who is now showing you how bad you suck by draining your end and sending you too the hospital. Wait aren’t gods invincible?


11.) XP for Me!

For sheer blind luck you managed too get on a team. Well sum of the members are getting inspirations for the next mission. The mission is up on the navigation bar; you scratch your chin and think to yourself about how you could get ubber xp by yourself. So you enter the mission (which is not yours) and start beating the crap out of everything as fast as you can before your team enters. The team enters after a few minutes and is pissed off you cleaned the first floor. So they ask too restart the mission, you don’t want too restart the mission you want to continue on. So you stand there refusing too move out of the mission as every one exits. So there gone just you again and you kill a couple of groups before the team leader asks if you’re going too come out. Bah your not coming out this is too much fun! So you kill some more mobs then you realize your just been booted once again from the team. Well that sucked but hey I got a rack of XP!! But your still mad and send the leader a tell with words of “wisdom.” Once again you’re now on ignore and have no choice but too find another team that doesn’t have you on there ignore list.


(12.) PVP Idiocy.

So you enter a PVP zone because you want those cool looking blobs of radiation jello. So you start moving along but wait some thing is wrong, you’re dead so very dead. You check your combat log and find out another player just beat the snout out of you. Now logically this is a PVP zone and entering it is risking you own player too be killed by another. But you don’t know logic you say the hell with logic and the hell with manners. So you flood broadcast pissed off because you got killed just trying too do your own thing. You continue too do so until everyone in the zone put you on ignore. So you try your chat channels same thing happens. “Why won’t any one listen to me?” “All I wanted was Radiation Jello dudes and some jackass owns my [censored].” “This isn’t right man, this freaking sucks!” So after about 3 weeks of game playing you soon realize that everything sucks but you and announce too the world “That’s it I am canceling my account!”

Love it! Only thing I didn't like was almost all of your "too"s should have been "to"s.

Other than that, pure genius.

I know this guy. Seriously, like he exemplifies everything you're writing about up there.

To give you an idea, he's an empath defender.

Who can't get into a single SG.

And who can't get on a team.

That takes some doing.


I'm not the droid I'm looking for.

MA Arc ID 8121: Rapp'Mas'Ta's War. The Rikti are trying to incorporate sonic effects into their weapons? THAT can't be good. Maybe we should ask them to stop.

I'm guilty of 10.) Leader me This.

Of course the team leader was guilty of the other 11 steps, so it was teh only way to get rid of him.

Well I tried my best at keeping my spelling in check. I sat there on "Word" for over 3 hours typing this out to the best of my ability. I didnt pass English and I didnt go too college for my English degree. I just type the best I can with what I have avaliable. I did not think people would make a big deal out of a few small spelling errors.

Thanks for your repsonses.
