Usually I play with a guild team and if not, I mostly play a monk for pugs. So I hardly ever lead a team and it's never my name on the halls win. But that's not the main reason the above win was special.

That win was with barrageway, which I didn't think would ever hold... we ended up holding for 6 rounds by slaughtering both of the opposing ghosts after 2 minutes

I can’t come up with a single “Greatest Moment.” There are several that stand out. The first time I beat Prophecies and Factions, my first Green, the first time I completed all the Titan quests, the fist time I beat Glint, when I got Victo’s Bulwark the first time (and sold it for 200k).

My lowest moment was the first time I faced Glint. I had no idea what Crystal Hibernation was and continued to attack her, not noticing that she was gaining health. But I did notice my teammates screaming at me calling me “NOOB!” How embarrassing.

When the guild I was in at the time won HOH! Even tho it was a while ago, it was still the best moment ever. Nothing else compares.

The best: Solo-killing the Kraken at the end of the Boreas Seabed mission ... with a mesmer.

The worst: a ranger who mistook my warrior's Lion's Arch Drake armor for 15K Dragon, and proceeded to insult/belittle me through the entire Wilds mission. Even when pointed out to her that it wasn't 15K by more knowledgable members of the party, she wouldn't shut up.

When I'm waiting for someone to finish a mission or just bored, I randomly pass out feathers in the Sardelac Sanitarium (there should be at least ONE looney there, right?)

I get people who just cancel the session, or some give me a gold piece or an Iris from presearing or some other small thing and then just giggle and go about there business.

Once... someone gave me 8k for the thing!

accusing someone of spam is worse then spamming.

Anyway my greatest was probably when I discovered Tengu Farming and made large sums of money off of it.

My worst moment is when they took Tengu Farming away.

Looking back....

My first set of 15k armor, I felt like a beast!

Worst: Getting a Crystalline from the Divinity Coast Barrel and selling it for 40k (Was a lot to me back then) :P

hitting 100k gold for the first time in 4 months.

also my most excited moment so far is me buy 15k armor for my assassin. This was my first time ever buying 15k armor set for any of my chars.

Future excitment moment I'm hoping for- I'm debating whether to buy 15k armor for my Paragon or for my oldest char Ele. My ele. has gone a long way with me and I think he deserves 15k armor more. and yes this is debatable for a casual player like me because I dont spend loads of time farming, its the last thing on my mind.

Couple of Good moments

Finally finishing prophesies with my Canthan Necro (my only character to complete prophesies and factions)

Beating Abaddons Mouth mission and Bonus with my Ranger and full hench party. Whilst doing the bonus, had a near party wipe going up against the hydras and flesh golems, I finally managed to break aggro and get a troll ungent cast, at which point I was down to 4hp. (this was the day they introduced the cast cancel bug)

And the 2 times I've been on the winning side whilst doing GvG :-)

Bad moment.

Must be the trouble my Ritulist had doing Boreas Seabed. Prior to doing this mission she had 7 deaths. After numerous attempts, she eventually succeded and ended up having died 20+ times. Bit of a nightmare really.

Overall:
Beat all Tyrian Missions and Quests with full Henchie parties.
Finally finding a great group of guys in an awesome Guild.

Specific:
Beat THK with Henchies, Heal Party and nothing else.

Worst:
Salvaged 15k Glads (w/runes) due to simple lag spike.

Best so far would be finally beating Glint with henchmen after failing with a half dozen PuGs.

Best I'm looking forward to will be clearing the Dunes of Despair bonus to get Protector

Best was easily finishing off DNKP. Made the two Titan Qests after it seem like somewhat of an anticlimax.

It is hard to come up with some one greatest moment.. I've had so many

Good moments:
Getting survivor titles on my monk, ranger and warrior without trying hard.. just went naturally

Buying my kurzick 15k armor for my warrior back in the day that amber was really expensive

Getting my first green drop, rago's flame staff

Finishing Proph, Factions and Nightfall for the first time.. makes you feel uber..

Bad moments:
Having an error 7 after both the last mission in Factions and last mission in Nightfall.. the worst thing was that I didn't get my endgame greenie and was stuck with amulet and book of secrets again.. sigh.. fortunatly last missions are not that hard ^^
Having people ragequit cause they get killed while sprinting into battle when you monk and try to keep them alive as best as you can.. the insults you sometimes have to take when you try hard to heal, but the stupidity of some people still get's them killed..

Best Moment: Reaching 1 million from selling stuff from Chest Running

Worst Moment: Back when runes first came out -- when you Salvaged them... it was a gamble - you didn't always get them. I remember, stepping out of Yaks bend... exploring with guildies.... and a Gold rune drops. I Identify it... Superior Vigor.... (back when they were about 86k)... I go to Salvage it... and get 4 lousy iron ignots *sighs*

1 week later they 'fixed' runes so that you were guaranteed the salvage.

My best GW moment was when K O S beat the Fianna in the BWEs. (I was in the group when it happened) Afterward we were on the first page of the guild ladder, and our ranking was 1337.

My worst GW moment? Hmmm, I'll pick two days ago when I was almost done with Arborstone in time for a masters completion, and some Oni managed to kill my monk and spirit henchmen, and I had used my Sunspear rebirth signet during the fight. I stood there for HALF AN HOUR just because I could not wrap my mind around the fact that Anet coded that hallway to drop rubble on your head ad infinitum - interupting any attempt to res... Joy of joys, I can tell you - at that point I was extremely frustrated. Redid the mission eventually, after I convinced myself that this idiocy was never ending, got masters in no time. The designer for Boreas had a lot better concept going, making (arguably) the most difficult part of the mission right at the begining (Argo and his group are meaner than the Kraken).

Best Moment: Completing THK with just me and henchies, Getting bonus on Iron Mines with just me and henchies, First Green drop, First time I successfully used my 55 monk, First time I successfully used my 55 monk to farm UW.

Worst Moment: Telling my guild, after playing constantly for about 6 months, the new cool thing I had discovered...on the compass, that circle around your position is actually your aggro circle.

Best moment: Killing Glint with a hench group (along with an assassin)

Worst moment: Lost a +30 string and a 20/20 sundering upgrade (both for bow) when the salvage kit didn't give you the option to pick what you want.

This is really outdated and might not seem like much now, but at the time it was insane. Back in... April of 2005 I believe, shortly after the game came out, I was in Kryta with this team of players and I was on my first warrior ever. Our entire team got slaughtered in seconds by this double aggro of undead (12 or 13 of them) except for me. i threw on I Will Avenge You and slaughtered the entire group by myself while ym team lay dead. I res'd the monk and he res'd the group and we were on our way.

I got quite a few compliments afterwards.

Best: I once ripped off 21 in a row in RA. I'm not much of a PvPer so this accomplishment was astounding. I haven't come even remotely close since.

Worst: Trading a black dye for a green dye in pre-seer when I first bought the game. It would prove to be my 1 and only black dye drop in 15 months of playing. I still don't understand why black dye is worth 8-12k.

Soloing (without henchmen or heroes) Dunes of Despair with my W/Mo after about 50 tries.

Worst:

Getting to Urgoz's lair after 3 hours of plodding through the Warren with a half-full PuG (due to leavers)...only to Err07 while we're fighting him.

Ouch.

My three greatest moments are:

Getting my first green and selling it for 70k (Malinon's shield back when it was valuble)

Going for 47 wins in Ascalon arena without a monk (yea yea, its Ascalon but still, thats something)

Doing various missions where more often than not everyone in my except me would get wiped. (I was on a ranger) I would manage to run out and get to a safe area, troll ungent, then rebirth the whole party and get the mission.

Worst moment:

I'm sure there's something worse, but what I can remember was going through Consulate Docks about 20 times because the bosses were hitting me for over 400 with the supposed 80 AL and 600 health
