MMOs are hilarious

Ever had a random player interaction that made you giggle?

As I was heading out of the Rift to map Eastmarch, I ran into Raynor Vanos. So close he phased through me. He followed me everywhere around a small sector of the map, including up to a ridge of rocks near the wayshrine. I started trying to hop up them on my guar. Raynor mimicked me flailing at the rocks. His robe went up and down as he ran into the rock over and over again at a weird diagonal. I started laughing. Which meant, of course, it was time to flail at the rocks for a couple of minutes and watch Raynor jump just out of sync.

Up went the robe, down went my guar and vice versa. I looked around for my husband-- he loves this kind of silly crap just like me. No dice.

Finally, I wondered if I could get Raynor to jump down the rock ridge from the other side. At that moment, another player appeared just as I made it to the other side. I jumped at a rock I knew was far too high just as Raynor vanished. The player spent the next several seconds jumping up and down on top of the rock ridge, running back and forth as if to show me how to do it right. Sadly, no robe flapping ensued.

I went to the wayshrine, and just before I hit the loading screen, the player sprinted back and forth right on the rocks right in front of me. I'm hoping they found a Raynor of their own.

In Malabal Tor near Velyn Harbor, up where the skyshard is, I used to Dizzying Swing enemies off the cliffs to hear them scream. No longer possible as they insta port back.

Too bad they "fixed" it-- that sounds like fun

My not so random player interaction...back in the DAoC days, I used to roll unguilded twinks, then find people from my guild and started pestering them about selling me their cloak with this fancy (guild-)emblem. I did that for hours on end, following them wherever they went, chatting to them until they eventually ran out of patience. I once even did that while being on TeamSpeak with them, so I got their live coverage of my efforts.
Good old times....

Once had an guy following me trough an delve, noticed he did not hit anything so I just used AoE still no attacks.
He had weapons and was low cp so not an total ***. Followed me, took skyshard, came to boss who he also did not attack.
Wonder if he was doing an pasifist character or something.

No at first I thought it was just an low level who followed to get an fast run, then I saw he did not do anything so slowed down, at this time we was almost at boss.

You see some weird stuff in delves. Had another who was came after me as I engaged boss, this was one of the undaunted delves so I blocked and waited, the other guy did not go for boss but was messing with other mobs around the room ignoring me.
Well even then blocking I took damage, remembered I did not have vigor on bow bar on this character and died before I killed the boss. Res and killed other guy did not react.

One fun thing you can do if some spam healing in an city is to get into an fight with the guards.
yes you will get an bounty but the healer will also get if if he heals you

Back when you could glitch the /lute /flute and /drum emotes and run around still playing them, I would chase people with the lute through town and through entire delves never relenting with my barding. Some people you could tell were trying to get away but I would boundless storm and streak to keep up with them without missing a beat and then just disappear back to the Daggerfall fountain to await my next prey. Ah the good ol' days, I miss that glitch.

We also used to lure people into our Guard Battles at the fountain XD

Though you can't do any of those things anymore, because ZOS actually patches out fun bugs.
