I felt like making this thread so that other people could talk about the good and the bad of guild wars back in the day.
I remember when...
It was only prophecies and everyone had fun playing with other players and what not. And when Sorrow's Furnace became part of the game.
So no it's your turn. just start off with "I remember when..."

I remember when:
- MM-ing SF/farming was fun and people complimented you for doing good instead of making everything about drops and not for fellowship, idk maybe i'm crazy
-when in pvp I first went with a trapping build and messed up and everyone was like its ok and everyone on the other team was like good game. Not like now where you can get "Noob,LOL, fail, that skill sucks, etc. mostly stuff like that.
-also when I used orders/MM in TOTPK and i was beast lol
-looking at sup vigors and sub absorption/black dyes and being like wow I need to work up to get those stuff. But now its like sup vigor 14k, absorption 1k woohoo, no challenge, but then again i'm crazy.
double sigh*

You can't see me
I remember when these threads were not around, and people played the game for what it is and did not complain about how crappy they thought it had become through updates and expansions.
Maybe it's time to bring these days back.
