Is this a bootable offense?

[TitoJ]

So I'm in Gianthold, trying to pass the time doing some slayers, when I see an LFM for Wizard King. The LFM states "Do Not Die!" or something to that measure. So there I am, on my barb, recalling out of GH, while I click on this LFM.

I get accepted in to the group, and, being the jokester that I am, I knew I was bound in GH, so there was really only one thing to do. I /death, right after they say hi to me, while I'm still in GH, and type out in chat "OMG! I just died. sorry man.."

Insta-boot..... c'mon really?!

Saves me from running with some tightwad at least lol.

[stoolcannon]

lol, I love the thought that it probably irritated that ******.

rofl. While your joke was very funny on it's own, the fact that he kicked you for it makes it even better

I thought at first, perhaps, his boot was also a joke. But I sent him a tell that said "What? Your lfm didn't say no joking!", there was no response.

Which pretty much tells the whole story.

Shoulda went for the hat trick.

Relog onto another toon, join party.

Get into the quest. Head right back out into the desert. Re-enter. Go find somewhere in quest to die. Res out, leave party.

Or am I being too mean?

No, no you're not LOL. Make sure you step out, then back in first, so they also get re-entry neg lol....

Nah, I wasn't ticked about it...but that is funny.

and then you see all the threads peppered around these forums warning other people of players and their guilds with that kind of behavior

Make up your minds fellas.

Against a pug leader like that, I'm inclined to say go for the hat trick.

Hahahaha classic!
I would make one slight change. I'd just pike out the rest of the quest and get the remainder of the XP

Problem is now you got 4 other people po'd at you too...not just the leader, who deserves it. Although it's mighty tempting lol.

Nah, that's something that could get you reported for griefing...not worth doing to a guy that has no sense of humor. Now, logging another toon and piking for XP and loot, definitely worthwhile.

Actually did something like this to my guild leader a while back...the guild was in VoD while I was on timer and waiting for the Shroud that was coming up next. There were spots open, so I joined to chat with the guildies. Well, I always bind in Meridia as soon as I can, and I decided to take the quick route to the Shroud. Well, as soon as I go *ding* one of my guildies goes "Oh, no! You let Nyy die!!!", and my guild leader, who was healing, was frantically looking for me to raise, and going "Where are you, I can't target you?!?!" Well, laughter ensued... Best part about it is that he had the star and had been the one who invited me to the group to chat...

I saw that LFM up - it was up for a long time with one person in it.

I also see the famous two boxers LFM up alot - seems to gain a few levels a week or so.

well. there is joking around like what the OP did, then theres being an A$$ like what your suggesting.
Pulling a stunt like what your suggesting would get you squelched, and your guild blacklisted by most.

That would be griefing.

It's not okay to join parties with the intent to mess up their gaming experience...no matter how much someone annoyed you in the past.

some folks take their adventuring (and their game time) a bit more seriously,
or at least the 10% xp afforded for survivor/victory bonus.
Especially in quests like WizKing where the total xp will be pretty grand, and the 10% is significant.

Gotta say, I'd have booted you as well, just to save myself the potential grie...er...humorous actions I could likely expect later in the quest.

If you don't want to respect a group or a group leader, why bother wasting their time?

EDIT: Yikes - Looking at the other responses, I reckin I'm a tightwad - lol. Least I know what to expect now!

Uhm...the OP wasn't even in the quest. No harm was done.

[TitoJ]

Exactly, not about being a **** to someone...it's just having a little fun is all. And I have to tell you, the best groups I've ever been in have always been laid back people, zerging through a quest, joking and having fun. So joking around isn't indicative of ignorant players either.

[Poe76]

Good Lord, if the OP wasn't even in the quest and got booted for
/death'ing to the location... I think the hat-trick would definitely
be deserved.

And if you are playing this game with your under-roos crammed
ever so snugly up your wazoo to boot someone for that, lol

rolaids suppositories FTW! :P

Sad.

Actually the base xp is nice, but you actually get MORE exp from the optionals, which are NOT affected by the 10% bonus
