Annoying Players

I'm normally not the type to start a thread but as of the events last night, I felt the need make this one. I figured someone had to be able to relate to this, so here goes. I'd just been recruited to start an STF last night. Things were going smoothly until right before we began the leader says to me...

Him:"You don't have any IO sets on you?"
Me: "No, just SOs atm"
Him:"Are you sure that you want to do this TF then? It's gonna be really hard and you're gonna get owned alot."
Me: "Umm, I'll be just fine."
And he actually had to nerve to say this to me
Him:"Hmm okay, I'll let you join us, but please make sure that you don't slow us down."

I could MAYBE understand where he was coming from if I were the lead tank for the TF, but I was a freaking Ill/Kin!

Oh, it gets worse. Because I didn't have my SOs, the guy felt the need to "coach" me throughout the TF. When I'd forgotten to give the Granite tank his daily dosage of SB, he sends me a tell saying...

Granite: SB Plz (team chat)
Leader: Please don't forget to SB him!
Me: Dont worry I got him
Leader: But you didn't have him. A good kin is always aware when SB is fading
Me: Umm, okay.

Don't worry, it gets better

We're fighting Ghost Widow and the tank is advised to stay in melee range with her while the rest of us use our ranged attack so she cant heal off of us. I then decide to let loose my PA to help get more damage in on her. His response

Leader: What are you doing!? Why'd you summon them? Now she's gonna heal off of them
Me: Huh?
Leader: You're phantom army!
Me: They're decoys. She can't heal off of them so it doesn't matter
Leader: Yes she can, I've seen it before!
Me: Oh really?
Leader: Yes really, now please unsummon them.
Me: Alright, if you say so.

Fortunately, we managed to beat the TF in a little over an hour, but MAN did I want to just cyberslap that guy. "Sigh" Anyways, am I the only whose had to deal with players like this? If not than please share your story.

Morons in this game are a dime a dozen, and I have met at least $12 worth in my 6+ years here.

Don't worry about it, I'm sure when he grows up and moves out of mommy's basement he will have matured...Ha Ha, sorry who am I kidding, like I said he isn't worth your troubles, just play the game the way you want, and make sure to use the /gignore command.

I laughed. and then felt bad for you.

Haha that leader is awesome....

Heh, if you find this amusing, go check out the Rude Tells thread.

This is a different kind of annoying, but I hate the people who color their large bubbles in such a way that it's basically impossible to see through. Like dark purple sonic dispersion. I also hate all of the people on the team (including myself) who don't say "Hey dork change your bubble color so I can see who I'm shooting!"

Wow... just, wow. I basically (with few exceptions) never use IOs... and just earned my 42 Month badge. I wonder if I am simply too dumb to play on that guy's teams? Hopefully, then I wouldn't have to listen to his BS and pretend not to be mad to avoid being kicked.

Dang, you beat me to it... I was so gonna post a link to that.

Here's my story just a couple of days ago:

Guy forming ITF (lvl 42) is looking for a Tank. He insisted we needed a tank to be successful. So I joined with my Lvl 50 Fire/Fire Tank. Then had a lvl 50 take the star for the team and set at +1, we had 3 other toons as non 50's. This didn't become an issue until the 2nd mission with the shards and the bodies started piling up on our side, (he wanted a defeat all for drops, and xp). Finally I stated that we should lower the diff lvl back to +0 becuase of the shalacking we were recieving, he stated that we were catching hell becuase of the ambusehes etc. I was little annoyed and I could careless about xp, shards, and drops as long as we completed. We finally completed 2nd mish and was rolling into the 3rd with the same results, bodies, bodies , and more bodies but this time people were frustrated with the amount of deaths. Guess what the great TF organizer did? He quit the ITF! We did finish the TF with a little coordinating and lowering the diff on the final mission.

After the ITF I had a very lengthly conversation with this person that later came up on one of the server channels forming another ITF. Long story short: ITF can't be successful without a tank and Emp, He's been around forever and knows what he's doing, and everyone who plays MMO's are fat lazy loser's with no life. He broadcasted this on our Server channel as a resulted he's been ignored by several folks, left channel, was kicked on another. Gotta love these folks.

Him:"You don't have any IO sets on you?"
Steelclaw: 1) "Well, I have recipes and I have salvage... if you have an hour or so I can hook myself up."
Steelclaw: 2) "Input/Output sets? Umm... please tell me that isn't a computer nerd euphanism for dirty rp..."
Steelclaw: 3) "Enhancements are for wimps who don't know what REAL heroing is..."

Him:"Are you sure that you want to do this TF then? It's gonna be really hard and you're gonna get owned alot."
Steelclaw: 1) "Get owned? Are you SURE IO set isn't a euphanism?"
Steelclaw: 2) "Owned? Allow me to provide you with your own copy of the Emancipation Proclomation."
Steelclaw: 3) "S'okay... I'm working on my debt badge anyway."
Steelclaw: 4) "Wait... Owned? Nah... I'm just planning on hanging out by the mission door anyway..."

Him:"Hmm okay, I'll let you join us, but please make sure that you don't slow us down."
Steelclaw: 1) "You have a Granite Tank in the group and you're worried about ME slowing us down?"
Steelclaw: 2) "Oh sure, sure... no problem... ummm... The ITF is that one Positron gives out right? Should I meet you in Steel Canyon?"
Steelclaw: 3) "Oh thank goodness! The last team that let me join forced me to have dirty rp with the guy holding the star. It wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't kept passing the darned thing around."

Granite: SB Plz (team chat)
Leader: Please don't forget to SB him!
Steelclaw: 1) "If he doesn't stop complaining SB gonna stand for Smacka B**ch..."
Steelclaw: 2) "Don't look at me... YOU hired him."
Steelclaw: 3) "I'm sorry... you see... I don't have IO's slotted... so my SB recharge takes foreeeeeeeeeeever."

Leader: But you didn't have him. A good kin is always aware when SB is fading
Steelclaw: 1) "When exactly did I say I was a good kin?"
Steelclaw: 2) "Excuse me, but I'm an ILLUSION/Kin... any goodness on my part is a figment of your imagination."
Steelclaw: 3) "Oh come on... you can't tell me that you don't find it funny as heck when he runs in place and only inches forward like that..."
Steelclaw: 4) "And ruin my entertainment?! Heck no! Beg for my SB... BEG FOR IT!! Who's your daddy... who's your daaaaaaddy?!"

Leader: What are you doing!? Why'd you summon them? Now she's gonna heal off of them
Steelclaw: 1) "I didn't summon them! Okay... who the heck summoned the store manequins?! Come on... own up!"
Steelclaw: 2) "Yes, but since they're illusory the damage she heals won't be real... it's genius!"
Steelclaw: 3) "Huh? Oh PA stands for Phantom Army... sorry, I thought it stood for Public Announcement... I was going to inform everyone not to summon pets since she'd just heal off of them."

Leader: You're phantom army!
Steelclaw: 1) "Wait... you can SEE them? The guy who sold me this power said they were PHANTOMS... what a rip off!"
Steelclaw: 2) "Wow... I bet Masterminds must really love you..."
Steelclaw: 3) "Hey... you're one of those time-travelling team leaders aren't you? You know... the one who travel backwards in time so they think the proper way to manage a team is to warn people what not to do AFTER they've already done it."

Leader: Yes she can, I've seen it before!
Steelclaw: 1) "And I've seen intelligent and effective leadership before... doesn't mean it's ALWAYS true."
Steelclaw: 2) "Really? Then do you see the gremlins too? Please tell me you do... they've been stealing my left socks."
Steelclaw: 3) "Well huh... I have an idea... why don't we just sit here and watch her and see if she is able to heal off them? We can even make a wager about it... just to warn you though... if I win my winnings are going to involve your mouth and some duct tape."

Leader: Yes really, now please unsummon them.
Steelclaw: 1) "I can't unsummon a summoned pet without the Kick option... pass me star so I can get rid of that troublesome team member for us..."
Steelclaw: 2) "You know... you really put the Task in Task Force... and I don't say that about just anyone."
Steelclaw: 3) "Sorry... I can't just this moment... I have to SB the tank."

You guys ought to put these stories in the Rude Tells thread.

Now that is how to respond to stupidity lol.

The worst I've had lately was a Tank that didn't like that I was going off on my own with my Scrapper in an ITF. In the end it didn't matter. We finished the TF in very good time and cleared a lot (but not clear-all) of enemies while doing so.

I like to think I am an annoying player. More so in the 'I've just done something stupid that's going to get us all killed' kinda way though and I do warn the team...when it's too late

I think I joined one of his teams the other day. A call came out that a STF was forming and was asking for tells with AT and powersets. I told him that I was an Ill/Rad controller who would like to join. He then asked me if I had Fallout and Lingering Radiation in my build???

So I join the team and we are waiting for the last two spots to be filled. Our team is pretty strong with a good combination of Damage, Buffs, and Debuffs already. I see a couple people post that they would like to join but this guy is looking for Specific powersets. He can't seem to do this without an Empath and another Kin for some reason.

At this point I realize I don't want to run this event that bad and drop the team. I made my own team later with the first seven who wanted to join and did great!
