Saying you beat factions is correct, beating a continent doesnt make sense.
Knightsaber Sith
Well Cantha isn't one part of Factions, all of Factions is in Cantha. But you still wouldn't say you beat the continent....
Mars Dragonblade
All he's trying to say is that he's just beat the Factions storyline, but instead of saying "I just beat Factions" he's used "Cantha". Then all he's done is port to Lion's arch to show off to the new Prophecies players and for some ego boosting gratification from the people who know what he's drooling on about. In a grammar confused way he is correct to a degree, and so are you, since Cantha is indeed the name of the Factions continent.
Kuldebar Valiturus
Semantics are squishy things to have an argument about.
It' s more precise to say, "I beat the campaign, the campaign being Factions".
Perhaps, he is like the Roman Emperor Caligula and declared war against the sea, but in this case a landmass.
Tip: Don't argue with idiots, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with you with their experience.

He's a plum. He should actually say "I beat Guild Wars:Factions" because that's the title of the GAME he's just finished. But, seeing as we know it's GW he should just say Factions. I've never heard anyone say they've beaten Cantha. OR, he could say he's beaten Shiro Tagachi, as he's the enemy you need to beat to win.
Next time you see him, tell him I've finished it 5 times and to shove that up his arse.

Accidental double post due to the site running really slow. PLD ME.

Report him to ANet for harassment.
Or for being a bitch and ruining other peoples play experence.
Or just because of his bad gramma'.

He's wrong, literally and ethically. Must have a pretty low self esteem to need players from Lion's Arch congratulate him on beating a continent.
Did he at least have Protector of Cantha?

Personally, I wouldn't waste my time with someone who's clearly only interested in being obtuse. Take comfort in the fact that you're right and move on.

WTB A damn.

Wow. Oh noes, he said Cantha instead of Factions.
Why did you decide to correct him? I mean, its not like it really matters, or that anyone would care, right?

1. He's a foolish fool, like most random people you find in towns. Can't expect to correct them all, it'd take forever.
2. Divinus is right. You can't beat a continent! Only an asteroid can do that, and it'd wipe out everyone in the process.

At the point the person (who is doing something shallow in the first place, bragging about something literally tens if not hundreds of thousands of gamers have beaten him to...) gets in your face about something like that...yeah, I'd prolly argue for a bit, then resign myself to his stupidity. Not like someone like that would admit he's wrong.
Diddy bow
by looking at what he said im betting he lied about 'beating cantha'

The world is full of fools, if you spend 10 minutes arguing with every fool you meet, you are just as foolish. No offense, but that's just my honest opinion.
As far as this post goes, who cares if he knows you're right? Does it really matter? Let me answer. No.
And as far as him reporting you goes, I wouldn't worry about it much.

Like, one time some idiot said the tomato was a fruit and then I laughed and called him a noob and told him it was a vegetable not a fruit. Then he says, he says I was totally a moron. Then I totally pwned him and said tomatoes are not fruit because fruit are sweet and tomatoes are not.
I was so totally right.
I was so totally right.
Coloneh
who has the signature about not arguing with idiots because they have more experience? why would you argue with him, get some real life people to disagree with like everyone else.

Correcting someone whose in the process of trying to stroke their own ego is going to get a negative response. It's counter-productive to their cause.
You could've save yourself 10 minutes of crap by simply ignoring the goof in the first place.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the tomato is a vegetable when it comes to legal matters (such as tariffs). The USDA also considers it a vegetable.
From a botanical viewpoint, the tomato is considered a fruit.
From the culinary viewpoint, the tomato is considered a vegetable.

you spent 10 min arguing about this? you both lose

I beat Cantha everynight when the lights go off.
Did I just say that?!

Now that every single quote about internet arguing has been chewed up and spat out, and that the Irony King is crying himself to sleep tonight...
You beat FACTIONS! Not Cantha. You beat a game, a story line. Not a continent. This isn't Command and Conquer.

And yes this is extremely off topic, but the original topic was doomed to begin with...

there are seeds in tomato so its a fruit ^^ like pumpkins, that reminds me of a radio quiz where the dj asked "what is the vegetable used at halloween to be carved into lanterns?" he was accepting pumkin as an answer which is wrong. i didnt phone in the radio and argue with him for 10 minutes over it as it didnt really matter 
Matsumi
Maybe in his/her mind, they beat Cantha.
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Cantha
You could argue all you want really, but you’re both talking about the same part of the game. Except saying “you beat factions” would imply that you beat everything in the game of factions, which doesn’t only include Cantha, Kurzicks, and Luxons. So, a more correct way to put it would probably be, “I’ve beaten Imperial Sanctum.” Or “I’ve beaten all the PvE missions in Factions” but the second one would imply you’ve beaten every single mission in the PvE portion of factions. So, I guess if you wanted to argue just for the sake of arguing over the internet, or correcting somebody for no reason, you could say, “You mean you’ve killed Shiro?” Which would probably give the same type of response from the other end, which was stfu in Japanese or whatever.
In any case, who really cares? You both lost, but instead of even having this conversation, you could of realized what he was generally talking about and left it at that. Unless it really bothers you that some people refer to that part of the game as Cantha.
