Modifying a skill Echo Banishment from Shiro. Instead of banishing you from the fight, it kicks you out of the group and puts you back at Imperial Sanctum, so you can say "Warrior lfg" for 30 more minutes.

If they started selling uber unique items in the shop...O wait-they already did that with GOTY Edition. I still can't believe they are selling skill unlocks ;o -Anyway- The worst *future* update would be if they made prot spirit into prot bond..eh-goodbye balanced, hello spiker's!

"In an attempt to balance PVP we have decided to completely remove PVE from the game. Everybody who played PVE is a communist anyway. However, as to not completely alienate you commies we have included large mobs of different monsters into each and every single PVP map.
On another note, it is now impossible to play any PVP if you have a rank lower than 6. To increase your rank you will have to gather fame by fighting other players. Got that, Marx?"

*For 10 USD each, additional skill slots are now available in stores. For each bought, you can take an extra skill on a character of your choice. These skill slots must be renewed each month.

*PvP characters can now enter previously PvE-only explorable instances and kill PvE players within them.

*Removed Balthazar Faction from the game.

Your region must have favor to enter any instanced PvE area. FoW and Underworld is bad enough.

You must now race your Heroes and Henchies to pick up loot. Everything they take is considered "litter" and goes in the trash.

Whenever you create a good build that works, we will destroy it and make it useless so you can play with specific builds only.

-Added spawns in the Shiverpeaks so wen, you enter Spearhead peak from grenth footprint your party is instantly killed before you have loaded.

- Chapter4 will be the same as all the others, no new content will be added,
to play in that chapter you will need 20 special items that u need to keep on you or in your storage, storage size will stay the same.

-we have put special bots that follow players who farm, if the bot catch you farming your banned.

- Wen warriors aproach target foe, this one will start running so you cant catch it.
-foes are now imune to cripple
- paragons can now fly, the motivation attribute as been renamed Moral Breaker, whenever you use a motivation skill all the allies suffer 15% death penality.

- to enter FoW/Uw players need to be rank 12
- Increased the cost of keys to 5000 gold, now wen you open a chest you get minor inspiration runes.
- Whenever you pm someone, you pm Jeff Highwind instead.

We, ANet, have decided to add moderators to Guild Wars. Most of them will be grieving ten year old W/Mos. Punishments will range from item removal to character death. No, your character will not be deleted, it will die and stay dead where it is in the place it was killed. You will however be able to log into that character and cry over your awesome armor and weapons.

The update that causes only 3 monsters to stay aggroed. This is without a doubt the worst update to ai behavior EVER. It didn't really impact me much, but when some old friends got on and we tried to have some friendly 2 man runs, they don't work well anymore. So after trying for a bit and him getting killed over and over by deaggroed monsters, WE DECIDED TO JUST SOLO BY OURSELVES.

Congrats. You took something that let people play together and caused the game players to go even more to soloing. Why do you hate farming anet? It's not the bots, you can trot out that lame excuse all you want. I honestly beleive anet makes these changes to make their bandwidth costs less by getting rid of the hardcore players that play alot and replacing them with just the weekend warriors.

Just keep breaking everything, Anet. You'll get what you want soon enough.

That MUST be the MOST HORRIFYING update ever.

To supplement the update:

1- You can't use your characters, unless your territory has favor.

2- All European servers are down...permanently.
