Some did unknowingly too.
But it was “meh i dont want to fight them …” most times. And jus trunning into other people…
But a few is good …
imagine 20 to 30 of them all on that small entrance.
3 are already deadly to anyone below level 20. If they don’t have much health … duo low vit.
All right! Time for another story! Now, I’ve played a bunch of MMOs. I’ve seen the end-game of very few. I have my regrets, sure, but I have so many single player games that I love, and I would never give up the memories of, playing them instead of a single game.
This thread is lucky; that a lot of the worst players can still be met in the early areas of a game. This next story takes place long ago in EverQuest 2! Prepare for nostalgia! At the time I was playing a Mystic or Swashbuckler on my ratonga? I forget. There’s this place very early on in the game known as The Barrens. Yep, just like World of Warcraft. Both even have instances, in those areas, known as Wailing Caverns. We were there, I think, but it might’ve been another instance in the area. All I know is the place had ghosts, ruins of an underground civilization and whatnot.
We didn’t take too long to assemble the staple group. Some DPS, a tank and healer. Yet again, my horror story revolves around a tank! I don’t know why I can only remember the stories about these guys… This guy was worse than the previous one I mentioned. Not just because of his actions, but because of how we handled the situation. As we were getting ready, to start the instance, the tank decides to go for a quick shower.
We weren’t sure how to respond to something like this, so, I guess that’s why we suffered from a momentary lapse of reason and being fine with it. A bit miffed, but we were willing to wait it out. Every relationship comes with some form of compromise, right?
Those of us that weren’t showering took some time to chat, send other people tells, and I guess we bonded. The tank eventually came back and then we got going. From there it seemed like smooth sailing. But, I guess it’s kind of hard to ■■■■ up at such a low level? He seemed to manage it with some knack.
We were in a market (bazaar) full of ghosties when he had to go AFK again because “someone is at the door!”. This time he went away longer than when he went for the shower. And to top it off? He picked the worst spot to suddenly leave his character sitting. The ghosts inevitably respawned and we had to protect our tank, the one that should be protecting us!
When he got back, I was the first one that decided to risk the run, just to chew him out, for the crap he was pulling, and he got really pissed off about it. Cue him being all huffy and leaving our run, it being ruined…

…Only not! This story comes with a happy ending. We managed to get another tank, and we finished the place and an adjoining one. I even made a few friends from the experience we were subjected to. Even if we were partly responsible for putting up with it.
We don’t talk anymore, though, because I left EQ2 for other games. It’s had a lot of expansions since then. I’m sure, in that time, our bard, from the run, found some inspiration for a song based on that adventure and shared it with the server. Which was either Antonia Bayle or Lucan D’Lere. Both of which are RP servers.
Thanks for reading this far. I guess I’ll give a quick summary for those with ADHD or random cases of wife aggro.
TL;DR Our group forms and then the tank goes for a shower immediately after. He came back but felt the need to go AFK in a crowd of ghosts. We got hella mad and he rage quit. We called up the ghost busters and finished the run to some funky tunes.
OK so i guess it’s my turn to write down another story 
This one is from quite a lot of years ago in an old mmo named Rappelz.
There was this american guy that was a racist to my nation’s peole (no i don’t have it against americans, in fact a lot of people i made friends with in RL and Online are american so… this really was a one time experience) and everytime he used to see one of us in game he started the “hunt” trying to kill us.
The PvP in this game was like: whoever wants to kill someone else just had to write “Pkon” and he would get his/her name red and get the ability to attack everyone else… but everyone else could also attack you. On top of that if you actually managed to kill a white name while in PK mode you had the “pkoff” command disabled for quite a lot of game time, so there was no “not using that character untill the red name goes off”.
Well anyway one day i logged in and i was bored and i saw this guy writing in world chat how people from other countries were idiots and stuff like that so i kind of took the chance to entertain myself a little bit.
SO i started to write something in world chat too knowing he knew my char nickname and he immediately took the bait and started to shout he was coing to kill me and stuff like that.
WHat i did was go into a “Hidden” part of one of the main crowded city and just sit down, then the “game” started… i acted like i was going to be prideful about it and just whispered him something like “oh so you’re going to kill me? come if you dare, i’m at (location)”.
What happened later was… he went to that location, didn’t find me cause i was sitting in the main city, whispered me about how i was a chicken… i answered him it was just that he was so damn slow and i just couldn’t wait for him for an eternity BUT he could catch up with me going into another place… repeat"
I actually had him go from one point to the opposite of the world map for about 1 hour and a half until i got tired and with my guildmates we did set up an umbush for him and that was it… but i got to admit it was quite entertaining to see such a high level of stupidity
Nothing much from the official server I’ve played aside from that one player who starved for attention so much, he went into lying, scamming, harassing, whoring himself out but nothing out of the ordinary.
But I do have multiple best dramas from private server. One of them that I remember quite well is a person with a troubled life. I believe he knocked up a girl before he left her and his son, rarely seen them too. Much like he don’t want to take responsibility. Back to the story, this guy came into the private server and began mocking every players he deemed not worthy of his kind. He even insulted the GM of that server too and always feel right about himself. Days after days, for some reasons I don’t even know why (even the universe was confused), he became the GM of that server.
Things took turn for the worse as he began manipulating people saying what is right and what is wrong in his very own perspective, creating a cult filled with dums dums who believed, such as his private server doesn’t against the law while other private server is, even the official server he said is against the law.
Besides that, he wanted to make a harem of his own. Many times, and I do mean many times, he tried to seduce many girls inside the server and if the girl refuses, he would do things like spreading lies about the girl, or if the girl has a boyfriend in that server, he abused his GM power to ban that boyfriend.
Funny enough, other GM’s seemed to don’t mind, or they’re just being hypnotized by his bald head.
Unluckily it’s easy to see that’s how the world goes most of the times… people actually putting efford in thigns and beeing good people get nothing and the bad, cunning lier one gets everything… i guess it’s “human nature” even if it sucks and this happens at school, at work… kinda everywere.
Oh well it’s not like it happens everytime so let’s just keep hopes up for everyone 
Awesome! 
True. World is an unfair place

I’m some what of a self proclaimed veteran mmoer. I have plenty of stories on the worst players I’ve met.
This is one of the more recent worst players I ran into.
I normally play as a support healer. In this game I teamed up with one other healer and a warrior of some sort to do an instant dungeon which, at most, only allowed a party of 3. I was able to get to the boss by myself but I could not beat the boss alone. I’m thinking that this was going to be easy because two healers. Note that this game doesn’t have a build for some type of dps healer and that this dungeon does involve a little bit of strategy to get through it. The other healer went full on Leroy Jenkins and started attacking stuff with their mace using no skills. Their damage was so bad though I could completely out damage this person however I was too busy keeping the team alive and making sure we weren’t going to get slaughtered. I didn’t even give enough time to speak to say wait or hold on ect. After completing the boss the healer took most of the items, thanked the group, then left after saying they got what they needed. I did not get the items I needed for that run and couldn’t find anyone else to help me on it but the warrior was impressed that we survived.
you forgot the legendary Never use branches on low level areas.
SO he was a a high level player from the class reatrd ashole?

excuse me? i didn’t understand your question ^^
Well I have a ragnarok story:
Once when RO was still on its golden age a guild of idipts though it would be fun to fill the area outside payon cave with minibosses from bloddy branch.
I was max level on a guild that accepted players with good potential even at low level and helped them to level. A party from my guild was goig to the cave to grind after becoming transcedental an dwas slaughtered while the guys from the other guild started to troll on chat.
The high level people from the guild wiped the mobs and i convinced the guild leader to make an alliance with several low level guilds to punish the spawning guys. The next War of emperium the alliance took all theyr castles and astarted to hunt guild members. After 3 months of constant hunting the guild disbanded and most plyers never were accepted on other guilds.
It was a joke… 
sry i didn’t understand it xD
ALWAYS BULLY
Bully rangers assemble!

they summoned almost max level bosses on a new players dungeon entrance and it caused lots of problems.
Also we never did it only for justice, the guild were orininaly made by people that got pissed and were treated badly by veterans, so yeah, it wasnt justice it was a vendetta we just hated people like that and ended as one of the most powerfull guilds of the sever.
Pretty much all those players who abuse their friend’s power. Those PK who kill you, and are protected by high level players. You can’t do anything to them, and if you do, you are the bad guy and get killed.
not exactly the guild was a commerce/pve/suport one like I said we were mostly players whose veterans treated badly that bonded togeter and had some fun, we only got involved on the war of imperium 2 times and never did pvp.
Most of our time we were helping new players, hunting or making money, we were the richest guild the main reason several low level guilds were able to form an alliance powerfull enough to take down that one and disband it was because we helped them to grind and gave some of them extremely powerfull gear, 4 of the top 10 crafters of the servers were on the guild~and the combat focused people had top +20 gear witn really powerfull cards.
