High levels bullying low lvls

So what's up with these 90+ guys coming into nightmare games to ruin your time by becoming hostile & going out to kill you?

I'm just minding my business, doing act 5 nightmare with 2 other guys of around the same lvl (50) and in comes a lv 92 javazon, instantly hostiles us all and attempts to kill us.
Managed to kill one of us

I make a new game.
Same guy, same thing.

I make another game,
Same guy, same thing

I've got a public game with like 7 guys now and this one POS just won't stop harassing us.

Last time this came up someone was kind enough to enlighten us that the steam (I think?) version apparently introduced some dumb-ass anti-social achievement that basically tells people to go out and Grief <insert amount here> lowbies for the easiest way to get kills/collect ears.

Given, some people are just like that anyways.
But apparently, you can now also simply thank Blizzard for that one...

Yes, there’s a Steam achievement for collecting 20 player ears. The same achievement/trophy already exists on console since D2R released over 4 years ago, and I think they copied the list from console to the Steam version.

I think a far better way to approach this achivement/trophy is to meet up with a friend and just kill each other 20 times each, but I guess some people just prefer to be assholes...

It's also entirely possible that it's "just" a griefer who doesn't care about achievements and just take pleasure in ruining other people's experience. These people certainly existed in D2/LoD/D2R before the Steam version (there weren't achivements in D2R on PC before the Steam release).

They never cease to amaze geez.
When I showed up with my warlock he was very absent all of a sudden so that worked as a deterrent.
Didn't cease his attempts to try though as soon as I left with my warlock

I'm a bit of a Steam achievement afficionado and I was under the impression the ears must be unique. If I can actually just kill a friend for 20 of the same

Ear that would be quite simple.

Not having actually even tried this myself, there are trophy guides for both PSN and Xbox saying you can kill the same player 20 times, you just need to collect all 20 individual ears. I.e., you just need to have 20 ears in your inventory. So yes the ears must be unique as in you need to have all 20 at the same time, but they don't need to be from 20 different characters or even accounts.

What a dick. If it happens again, see if you can get some of us to come kill him instead xD

Thanks for confirming @ShadowHeart

Unlikely since I FINALLY managed to kill

Baal in nightmare with my barb.

Perhaps in the future I might make an amazon but who knows when that might be.

Thanks for the offer though
