I Remember When...
Dev121
Angry Shin
I remember my first character, a Sin reaching Cavalon with a non max armor and some non max dmg daggers.
I remember finding the game insanely hard, and thinking after every mission " ok I will never have to do it again thank god"
I remember the first time I went to tyria, doing every single mission to reach Droknar (Didn't know "runs" existed).
I remember my first 15k armor: worked for weeks to get it, I was so proud !
...
And of course I remember how farming was before loot scaling

i remember when the game sucked, because it was only prophecies.
There was no PvP characters you had to start as PvE
And Prophecies SUCKS ass.
I remember going "Ele cool" 1 hour later "WTF stupid shit"
Did the same thing with a warrior
Picked up a ranger"Seems lame" 1 hour later "Hell yes"
Remember being stuck at Yaks bend and going in a circle through out the shiver peaks only to wind back at Yaks bend >.<
Remember hearing Factions coming out and saying "Couldn't be any worse than this crap"
Remember creating my assassin and finally beating propashit.

i remember when getting gold items was actually an accomplishment.

Master Sword Keeper
I remember when my beautiful warrior stances used to help me kill trolls.
I remember when farming was a fantasy not a chore
I remember when running was an absoulutely charitable thing to do
I remember when Loot scaling was a myth
Why cant we just simply revert back to when gw's was Actually good?!

-When [EviL] and [WM] were dominant in the GvG scene
-Playing with Silas from [Rift]
-Tomb Of Primeval Kings was where you went
-Refund Points, the epic failure they were
-Making a 55 cost a lot of money
-Beating the Lich
-First Black Dye Drop (and knowing not to sell it prior)
-Gwen following me around pre, that little stalker
-People selling un ID'd gold runes at Lions Arch

I remember when people spoke normal english. Now everytime I get on the forum I'm bombarded with stupid l33t retarded gamer speak like:
nub
l33t
pwned
h4x0r
sux0r
.
.
.
blah, blah blah
.
.
oh and my current favorite:
epic
epic fail
epic this
epic that
epic <insert word here>
I know this crap has been around for years now, but I'm seeing this flung around more and more like it's something cool to say.
Oh well, it is what it is.

I remember when it was only Prophicies, I remember the 55 monks, un nerfed fashing blades. I remember more stuff later, I'm busy. 
Caged Fury
I remember when.....
...the monks had a strike because they wasn't appreciated;
...people played for fun and not for profit;
...monks joined UW parties, left or got the party killed, switched to their 55 gear to go solo farm the smites;
...THK was where many got stuck;
...I first started and didn't realise you left towns via the big glowing portal. Spent some time bashing against and emoting big closed gates trying to open them.

apart from i was level 20 and knew where i was going. didn't expect it be so hard though (afterall all lvl 29s = uber leet). Never set foot in there againAnd btw i think you can be lvl 12. When u kill dopple, is the experience just for a bonus?
"Your Math teacher always seemed to hold Halls" Omg i remember them aswell. Most likely because i live in england and hate when people say math not maths. People talking about Rotscale...well i still havent got around to actalyl meeting this fella despite my 2 and a half years of game play.
Vigor runes gave different amount of hp. i think it was 25, 50, 75...could be wrong

I remember when I read this thread, it was today.

The only reason I disliked Prophecies was because 95% of the people where newbies and 5% were pros who:
1. Sold Golds for extremely high prices.
2. Had million of Platinum and they didn't share it.
3. You had to try a mission 50 items before finally winning it.
4. I killed myself so my undead army would wipe out the noobs in my team...fun times indeed.
Personally I like Guild Wars now:
1. Everyone can get a nice good looking weapon skin cheap.
2. The tutorial areas actually work so 50% of the noobs who go through it know some about the game.
3. Noobs are fewer and far apart.
4. There are more people who help others.
5. Cooler armor.
6. Cooler skins.
7. Fun new quest, cooler scenery.
Hate:
Whining bitchy spoiled brats who start threads about "Remembering how it was"
Remembering other times is fine...using it to say this game is bad now isn't.

I remember when I farmed griffons in Prophet's Path.
And then 15^50 golds were actually rare.

I remember
That's just some of it.
- Refund att points
- Ettin farming. 100k sup absorbs and sup vigors.
- Glyph of Renewal minion masters with their huge armies.
- Tombs Minion Factory team.
- Your Math Teacher has won a battle in the hall of heroes.
- Fissure sets were rare.
- Paid half a mill for a victo's battle axe the day it came out.
- Sold r8 15^50 shadow blade for 70e. Back in the days when ectos really were worth something.
- Razorstone and Malinon's Shield were awesome weapons.
- People were nice, and pugging was an option.
- Doing THK with all hench was an accomplishment.
That's just some of it.

Forgot about the minion armies.
I remember doing Villainy of Galrath and having the whole party run away after aggroing all the minotaurs. My MM stayed, backed into a corner and put up a solid wall of minions until all the minotaurs were dead. Good times back then.

Reaching The Breach for the first time. Up until then, GW was somewhat easy, but then, lvl 8 Charr? What were they thinking? No way. Game over.
Finding my way to Beacon's for the first time and seeing in All Chat someone offering a "run" to Drok's for free. I had no idea what a "run" was or the location of Drok's, so I figured I'd join his party and see what happened.
ZOMG...MAX ARMOR (but no money)
ZOMG +1...MAX WEAOPNS at the Weaponsmith (again, no money)
Dear Sweet Jesus...Talus Chute at lvl 12 (forget the money, I'm dead)
Thinking that I was genius when I used Winter and Greater Conflagration against the Titans and posting my awesome E/R build only to find out it was old news.
Watching the Lich's Titan wonder off and never attack, thinking the ANet was soooo gonna fix that in the next update.
Posing for a group shot of my all Guildie team at the end of THK...when it actually something to brag about.
Farming Griffins...and then the update.
