or is guildwars the only mmo where people have taken the time to make fake drops and fake weapons in photoshop to try and fool a mass amount of people.. I think it's hillarious how much work that one guy put into the whips and then recently the terror shield popped up.. too much

Or runescape, when dragon legs were faked everyone was fooled once, then when they were acutally released, well lets just say there wasn't a moment of peace at the offices of Jagex or the forums.

No its not... you see GW would have to first become a MMO before it can so do...

aside from that yes, people spend way too much time faking items, so much that people question real items... its intresting to see items like "Godly AK47 of noobs slaying" but sometimes it gets old...

that would be funny if ANet released "fake" weapons. ill use the AK47 example. if they released a wand that was named AK47, try selling that lol. that would be great.

Most of the people who think they're good at editing pics, aren't. Unfortunately, a lot of people can't tell that the pics are faked, so it's a mess.

Funny that realtes to the story of the Blue Fiery Dragon sword and the Icy Dragon Sword...

That thread went SOOO long with almost every who read it fooled INCLUDED Galie (that surpised me). Then the IDS comes out and it seems to me at first that this is Blue FDS all over again but I go and find one for myself.

Actually the whips only took about 2 hours to do. This was about the time the game started to stagnate for me and I had nothing going on at the time I just thought it'd be a good idea for adding to the game. As for fooling people, I never said in any of my posts that they were real heh.
