(06/11-2025) – Here we go again, ladies and gentlemen — time to find out who has earned the glorious title of”The Most Stupid Ganker of the Year.” This round covers the months of August through October.
As usual, I’ve been a little less online lately: every other weekend I play Guild Wars 2 (and yes, I also do have a life), but still, there’s no shortage of morons out there to observe, record, and publicly humiliate.
Here are our proud contenders for this trimester:
Alliance: Cswiich (6), Diazayus (14), Doktorche (5) (changed faction), Dolaran (2), Exitx (3), Guinuateri (1), Hiiena (4), Horst (1), Izikiil (3) (changed faction), Krusartier (1), Licpem (3), Livanski (3), Mahnatka (1), Meowkittyuwu (1), Palioma (1), Rayjex (1), Regador (1), Shadowdances (2), Shanaa (1), Siletnch (5), Siviticu (33), Toiletpaper (4), Vorsicht (3), Xoniwan (9), Zuzika (1)
Horde: Alimenciaraa (1), Bloodfetiish (1), Crazypriestt (1), Fovr (1), Frinzy (2), Geroman (2), Grasnahj (3), Jonkorogue (7), Kinnie (1), Mielie (2), Odiane (2), Salsabrava (4), Skorneorc (1), Subtwink (4), Svetllio (1), Telharion (2), Vhanya (2), Zucc (26)
Bronze – Third Place: Diazayus
Ah, Diazayus: a brave paladin who decided to bring justice and destruction to one of the only Horde starting zones where people can actually level in peace: Vengeance Landing.
Because clearly, level 68 players are an enormous threat to a fully geared level 80 paladin.
Unfortunately for him, I have some of my ladies stationed there: My priest Belonara, my rogue Tsirah, and even my paladin Lynadra all took turns sending him back to the graveyard. The only one who didn’t was my AH character. She’s more into buying and selling than wasting time on morons.
He even tried teaming up with an old acquaintance of mine, Getcandyx, a mage who once tried to kill my priest and died faster than you can say “res sickness.” Ever since, he’s been running at the mere sight of her.
After Lynadra dealt the final blow, Diazayus mysteriously vanished. Probably bragging in Goldshire where he belongs.
Silver – Second Place: Xoniwan
Now this one’s a classic. Xoniwan teamed up with his mage friend Vorsicht (who’s been killed by me a couple of times). Together, they thought they’d be clever: setting “traps” for me.
The plan? Lure me into attacking the mage while the rogue jumped my rogue.
Genius… if only it weren’t visible from orbit.
So instead, I focused entirely on Xoniwan, who proceeded to die multiple times, whether he was alone or cuddling with his boyfriend.
Honorable Mentions
Doktorche + Izikiil (aka Livanski)
A real dynamic duo of stupidity. Doktorche (priest) and Izikiil (mage) (or sometimes his druid alt Livanski) spent hours ganking low-level players in Crossroads.
After getting wiped repeatedly, they apparently decided it would be smarter to switch faction. They’re Horde now.
Can’t wait to see them try ganking Alliance towns. Spoiler: I’ll be waiting.
Crazypriestt
This one finds it hilarious to mind-control and torment low-level players for fun. Until he met my Death Knight, BlackScorpyo. He got help from some rogue, but it didn’t help him and gave me two kills instead of one. Thank you!
Siviticu
A regular visitor at Freewind Post. He used to solo-kill level 29s until my level 80 rogue showed up. Then he brought a rogue-friend, Exitx.
You can check the list above: Exitx died three times. You do the math.
Getcandyx
A special case. I haven’t killed him since July because he flees heroically whenever he sees me. But then, when I was repeatedly killing Diazayus (our Bronze winner) with my priest, guess who appeared?
Diazayus vanished, and suddenly there was Getcandyx. Except now, instead of fleeing, he throws a Living Bomb at me before floating down (we were on flying mounts).
I suppose he thought I wouldn’t notice that his “paladin friend” was still nearby: the Devotion Aura under his name gave that away.
Some people really do overestimate their IQ… by about a hundred points.
Gold – First Place: Zucc
And the winner… is Zucc!
Zucc has returned to Lakeshire, apparently without learning a single thing from his previous defeats. There he goes, killing low levels, the flight master, maybe even an undergeared level 80 or two.
My paladin, Sigbjorg, met him several times. Every encounter ended the same way: Zucc dead.
Sometimes he brought a rogue friend, who also died.
Predictable pattern: gankers love easy targets but melt the moment someone actually fights back.
After a few humiliations, Zucc joined the elite club of cowards like Bbqsix and Getcandyx: those who immediately log out or vanish when they see me.
One day, I was scouting around, switched to Sigbjorg, and guess who was there?
Yes, Zucc! (how did you guess?) fighting another paladin and the paladin has troubles. I helped, killed him, healed the other paladin, and waited patiently for Zucc to resurrect.
I waited… and waited… and waited.
Then I checked. Logged off. Classic.
I’ll be watching next time my spies report movement in Lakeshire. Fortunately, it’s WoW weekend.
See you in December for the final round of The Most Stupid Ganker of the Year. (Scorpyo)
