I've just met a most idiotic player, a privateer who hates being a privateer. In fact I had no idea he was a privateer ( because not one buff or heal came our way through 6 floors ) until one of the players asked if he could drink the potion; here's the conversation:
: "If he drinks, I'm not fighting."
Other : "Why?"
"This class is lame."
General confusion follows,. He then explains that privies are like Life Wizards, only good for healing, he likes to attack and hates playing defensively. When I asked why he made a privy if he hates it so much, he said he didn't realize how lame it was. That was his phrase. I wonder why he continued with this class all the way to max level. When I pointed out that the Privy class was more like a Balance wizard, he said something rude.
Up-shot was, that team up went down the tubes.

This is a variety of troll, that I never met until now, but I was told is really common:
The Selfish Swine - this team member refuses to open any four lock chest; the other team members are standing around say "come on, chest" but this player goes on their merry way. I'm not blaming the ones who are suffering the frozen movement glitch. And we're all familiar with the AFK Warrior who doesn't realize that a chest has appeared.
No, this player ignores these chests because "I already have enough doubloons/gear/gold." Not taking in consideration their team-mates wishes.
The one run I was on, we lost 3 chests before I asked who was ignoring the chests and one guy with the name of "Unfair" Piratety Pirate, admitted doing this. When I asked him why he did this his answer was "I don't need any more things." I pointed out that the rest of the team needed those chests but he continued to refuse to open the four lock group chests! ( He didn't say his pack was full or that he had reached the gold limit, this would at least be a reason for his behavior. )

These later runs are getting utterly frustrating, so I'm gonna vent a bit.
The Low Level Parasite/Myth-Believer.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this player's level, a 9! AND he had the nerve to demand "NO doubloons"!
When I said I would use what doubloons I saw fit, he said "Go ahead, but you won't get any rewards." My reply: "Only a noob would believe that foolishness". Other player says: "finally, someone who is telling the truth."
And I left that team-up. Really, a level 9 in the tower?
The Sworn Enemies:
Forget the Montagues and Capulets, this team-up was a disaster from the first sentence: "Oh no, not ( name )."
Insulted player "What do you mean by that?"
"I donut like you."
"I don't like you either."
"........ ( something either filtered or said in open chat )"
Me "Ok, just click ignore on each other and lets go through this tower."
".........."
"Oh that's immature."
Me ( ports out of there as soon as I can.)

I had something like that sworn enemies thing happen i wizard101 I was farming in morganthe this guy was complaining to the other guy because he was getting ready to hit instead of helping the other one hit I mean he never ment him before and he was calling him names i finally had enough and told him if he wants to hit that's his business and still kept calling him names he said the hit was going to be weak because the other guy was a ice wizard I know some ice wizards don't have a good reputation for being hitters but this guy did do a lot of damage and at the end of the fight he said I'm a mean person deal with it I can't believe people like that exists plus this one time I was farming in tower with to others we were at the nefarious five part of the tower and almost done and the one kept telling us to kill the one pirate I forget which one I think it was the Buccaneer anyways we were going to die if we didn't kill the privy and they kept saying hit the other one and the reason was because they thought they wouldn't get the weapon they wanted if we killed the other one we kept saying we were going to die but they kept saying kill the other one and it had full health so I just hit the privy anyways they didnt get there weapon and I didn't mean to be rude or mean but we worked hard to get there and I didn't want to die for one weapon I'm sorry if that sounds mean I made friends with them afterwards and they were a lot nicer after that I just wish everyone would think about how something is going to effect the everyone else

I'm quite enjoying this thread :P

Sure it's sad and irritating to end up with such people in the tower, but the way you put it makes it somewhat funny :)

Keep them coming, if you would :D

When I started this thread just a year ago; I had no idea it would become so popular. I'm still finding "types" or variations on these types occurring in the Tower.
Since I have 5 other pirates besides my main and I still have to collect Moo's Boots and the Lotus Mask, I will be in that cursed edifice once day.

Ok this team up was both annoying, strange and funny. I can just describe them as:
We think we're OP, but, sadly, we're average: When I joined this team up on my Buccaneer, I found that I was with two buddies; one of which had 2 accounts going. All were SBs and they thought they were the hottest thing going.
They began bantering and then one said "Who's that buck chick?". I said "Excuse me?", then: "Oh " he said, "I thought you couldn't talk."
Then he begins to say how chicks can't fight. "Keep up with the chick talk, and you'll finish the dungeon with 3 ", I said. He LOLs.
Then at each battle they say something like, "Time to be OP." Then they fog - but their weapons were bazaar issue, so I guess they haven't done many runs.
Then one says "I know gals who could kill Bess ( my buck )."
I say, "That won't be as easy as you think."
More laughter, go figure, I guess they were easily amused.
But at the statue floor, they begged that no one should break a statue, because "The foo lions are OP."
LOL, I almost called them "Chickens."
The team up died because one went afk and another was checking their backpack, for nearly ten minutes, I got tired of waiting and left.

Wonder how these people (in general, not just those from last post) would react if you told them:

"You, my friend, will be featured on the official boards"

anecorbie on Sep 21, 2015 wrote:

Yes, you met a variety of "Myth Believer": they are a complete pain in the you- know- where. If you ignore them and fight the battle in a tactical way, they blame you for their loss of Nef-5 drop.
Ice Wizards are low hitters? That's a surprise to me, one of my best friends is an Ice Wiz and I'm amazed at the damage she does with a Frost Giant.

You notice that I mention NO names. Besides so many of them don't read the message boards and they have no idea that there's an official sounding board ( they get most of their information via Central and while that's fine for gear and pet training - other information isn't well researched. Like that dratted Treasure Bath doubloon myth that continues to haunt me. )
