Harrassment of players
A lot of people don’t understand how the tables work, they don’t have the luxury of using them frequently like you and are often just trying figure out how the minigame works, even though they’re unwittingly blocking it from working.

Whether you bought real money or not is irrelevant to the topic. The tables and Mad King Costumes themselves are at the moment the two biggest tools used to grief other players during this event. Why they were allowed to go live in such a state is beyond me but its something ANet should resolve and soon.
What about the tools that stand on the last platform of the cauldron jumping game and knock players off even if they are out of costume and not a part of the brawl?
I have the costume, but I didn’t realize it did anything to folks not involved in brawls. I’ll definitely need to make sure that table stays away from the cauldron.
They keep throwing it at us in LA when we are not even in costume so that we lag up and fall off the platforms… I just gave up for the day. My machine can’t even handle all the new stuff in that it takes forever to render everything anyhow. I might just make Divinity my new crafting home until all this blows over.
Paying real money for it does make a big difference…… We are the ones that are paying to support the game. And it wasn’t people tring to figure it out it was people taking kitten and blocking it to be a kitten.
And I went way away from the cauldren and was still getting harassed
Your paying real money is a NON ISSUE. Everybody in the game bought the game with real money. You are entitled to nothing special beyond receiving and wearing a costume you paid for. Do you know the amount of players who have been affected due to griefing from that stupid costume.
The designer who thought up that mess should be relagated to having to spend 24 hours in Lions Arch with 100 players in Mad King costumes and forced to jump the cauldron puzzle over and over.

this sounds like you’re better than the rest of us, it really does.
It’s like you have some right on a better game experience than others, or that they have less right to bother you than someone who didn’t buy anything on the shop.
It’s nice that you support the game, most likely by buying something you wanted for you and not out of support… but still.
it doesn’t give you any more rights than others.
If this wasn’t your intend, please read what you posted again with this comment of us in your mind.
And the people that spam fear to knock people into the water to make them lose their costumes? That’s not harassment?
Depending on how much I’ve had to drink, it can take me a long time to get into that cauldron.
To anyone having issues jumping into the Mystic Forge due to griefing or just not being able to do the jumps: Go to the uppermost part of Lion’s Arch from the Grand Piazza (the bar located in the ships above the city) – you can jump into the Mystic Forge from that height and survive it. It’s actually quite fun.
I bought the mad king costume as well and I still block some people who use the table utility skill. Why? because some people abuse the skill by standing on the edge of the mystic forge cauldron and spam the skill from there without getting any hit from anybody else which is a total unfair because they keep getting points without even trying. I like pissing off people like that, at the end they will just get down and join the brawl down there.
I never ever blocked intentionally to who ever play fair.
Is it really that good??:0 I was disappointed by it(though was shown it before I bought the costume) cause I hoped it had the same effect as the cauldoren from the witch costume.. Like u could eat from it and turn into a skeleton.. The food fight seems hectoc and random:0 so use the joke and fear ability due to animations and the voice-over:D or the witch for the cat xD
