Post your funniest story about playing with a noob:)

[mycroftxxx]

When I first started playing I told someone "leave some for the others. stop stealing all the chests!".

I sometimes have fun tweaking them by getting to the chests first, and then watching them get even more aggressive about it, completely ignoring all the enemies because they're so fixated on the chests.

I was with this noob "Thelonearcher" and we were partying in Balefort, I mean like super Charlie Sheen partying, and I thought I could trade him for 50K.

OMG, the chest thing is hilarious. I never would have thought that.

I never assume a level 50 has any skills or can use them. I remember a recent level 50 Nightmares group that was made better when I told the 3 mages to heal for ice. Suddenly we were actually sort of walking as a group... *stare* Let me repeat that: 3 mages. Boggles the mind. 3 mages. 3 mages. Sorry, I'm still a bit flabbergasted :P

And of course, there's the level 50s you find through the various levels of Ao3 who have never explored it... They don't know what's in it, how much to clear to get to the boss and what do to with the boss. The good thing: some of them will listen when I tell them the strategy. The bad thing: some of them won't because they already know and are insulted you think they need more info :P then they die and leave.

Hmm...is it a sin to help level 50s who can't defeat the keeper OR the sniper? Um, level 50s.... with gear.... who for some strange reason can't manage to stay alive... *rolls eyes*

There do always seem to be one or two that're off in the corner killing the blue/yellow alien. What's with that? And then they wonder why it takes so long to kill the shielded Keeper... especially the birds... *more eye rolling* I'm just happy when it takes less than 5 minutes, what with 1/2 the group not on the Keeper when we rush him. Let's see... 5 in group, only 1 or 2 on keeper though all are nearby. What's wrong with this picture?

When did people start thinking clearing trash in a priority when you're on the boss and the boss has a timer or can kill in 1-2 hits? I'm gonna stare some more *stare*stare* LOL

They're probably trying to improve their K/D ratio. BUT, sometimes it does pay to kill the trash, especially if they have range. Even if they're not attacking you personally, they can take a big chunk out of someone else, and possibly discombobulate your entire group. The lorekeepers with the overlord are a good example—if you just ignore them, a significant fraction of the time the team wipes.

Some of these are pretty funny.

Ok, so I was in LE questing with my bear recently. He is level 26. I'm in town in between quests and this other bear was there shouting about selling helms. I think about checking his stuff for a split second, then think "Nah, I've got something to use in a few levels (crusaders polarbear helm, iirc). So I proceed to the portal to go to the next quest level and who should appear beside me than the same bear trying to sell his loot. So he followed me in and asks to trade. I think "Ok I'll check out his stuff to be polite. He shows me a bunch of greens and oranges that are 2 levels or higher so I tell him "Sorry, but no thanks." and exited the trade screen. Then he gets all pissed off saying "There better than the crap you have, noob." and then immediately left. I was kind of speechless.

Furrawn ....... ..... uhh now my story. I remember I have.a screenie of a lvl 45 bird asking me if he was a paladin

[romgar1]

Im in the middle of my funny noob story. I am now staring at the profile screen of this bear in game named sekky. He has 89 kills 30 deaths pve and 1 kill 225 death pvp. As i type he is asking me how much sb sword of the rift is and hate armor while IN the cs shop. Oh did i mention he is WEARING the sb sword of the rift. I almost wonder if this guy is lone posing as a nood just to get some laughs. Is that you mike?

Haha I remember when everyone raced for the chests. Totally thought they'd make me rich if I got there first.
