THANKS INSCRIPTIONS! YOUR MY FAVS!

I actually did The Wilds in HM with a guildy and three random people. Six times. First one, our runner wasn't running and we were capped out. Second, we didn't know there was an easy passage to the bonus. Same for the third. After that, we just got unlucky until we finally won. No QQing please.

I remember PUGging in 2005.

But I actually PUGged yesterday for the first time in about a year or so. We did Dunes of Despair, a couple of guys never did it before, and the rest of us actually explained it to them and they listened and asked if something wasn't clear. Everyone was polite, we had fun and finished the mission easily. It was freakin' uncanny, kinda like Prophecies '05 all over again.

I remember when.... The first time I loaded up my new Ranger into Ascalon, and I almost peed my pants because it looked so beautiful, and it was the first MMO(CORPG w/e) that I had ever played, and there were so many people. Some having very odd conversations (dis1 Ascalon, wewt!)

Now Guild Wars is better described as Title Wars. Everyone just spends all of their times with heroes and hench grinding out their title.

I remember when KD/AS warrior were DPS machines.
I remember when gold drops showed as "<Monster name> Drops a Rare <Item name> for <Character name>" instead of having the actually name show up in gold in the chat.
I remember when expertise effected all skills and I could spam stances + oath shot for near constant immunity from melee (i also miss it as well, did amazing in RA).

Can't think of anything else.

*edit*
Oh, I also remember that the Gods' Favour was Korea's bitch.

I remember when necromancers were still undiscovered.
I remember when IWAY broke the rank system.
I remember when the economy worked properly and Anet didn't obsess with equality to the point that it interfered with the game being fun.
I remember when greens were cool and special, occupying their own niche between mediocre golds and high end, perfectly modded golds. This was before there was a green for every skin and every stat combination, so they hadn't yet cut off low end golds as an in-road into the economy for new players.

In fairness, I also remember waiting for days to get a party for Thunderhead Keep and having to choose between an armor that looked nice and an armor with optimal stats. Not everything has changed for the worse.

According to these forums, the game has been dying since the HoD sword was removed.

I remember Idiot Savants winning in the old TotPK.
I remember War Machine, too.
I remember when the game was fun.
I remember my first holiday celebration, Wintersday '05.
I remember the time before nerfs.
I remember all the bragging I did when my warrior reached lvl 20.
I remember the old PvP system.
I remember my first set of max armor.
I remember my old friends.
I remember my old guild.
I remember the hours spent in LA talking with people and not hearing the trade spam.... oh, wait.
I remember when threads like this did not exist because GW had always been the same.

Wow, this thread is depressing.

which makes me remember that there were lots of threads on the forums back then, where people were asking for some kind of "display filter" (sort of like the chat-filter) which would show "naked" characters dressed instead.
