A Little Confession to Make...

Lets have a light-hearted topic to talk about

I believe throughout the entire game, we have made mistakes, did things which we regret immediately, a week later, a month later or years later.

Well, for myself, I do have too.

I remember years ago, when I just started playing, I got myself a desert run. When the runner took me to my destination, I refuse to pay, arguing that we did not agree on any prices. And so, I assumed it was for free. But of course, I knew it won't be free.

No excuses to be made from me, it was clearly my bad :P , be it 500g or 500k, its a wrongdoing which I have commited. However after that incident, I moved on to be a better person.

I believe that although its just a game, its still important to be nice. When you are nice, and people reciprocate it, its nice. And if they don't, just move on.

So whats your little confession...

lol Well back when you still had to get the 4 Anguish gemstones to get Razah, I needed 100k to buy a Titan one. So I sold my elite Luxon armor in the hopes of getting rich...now I totally regret it and wish I had it back. I may buy it again but...ugh. And then they got rid of the gemstones. You don't need them for Razah now. Grrr...

I caused an entire whipe on Ice Caves of Sorrow by running through the catapults.

Why'd I do it? Because it worked before when I tried it with henchmen.

I bought the dragon gauntlets in gwen, when i decided i didn't have the patience for the destroyers. i immediately regretted it because they match absolutely no set of necro armor. i then proceeded to add insult to injury by buying dwarven armor thinking it would match a little better. ultimately, i wasted about 180K that day.

Those aren't confessions, Tender/Shiishii..


I've scammed an uncountable amount of runners.

I buy items cheap from people who dont know better...just for profit...

omg, i better add you into my 'Danger!Beware!' list.
hehe, just joking

I must confess.... that I've no juicy confessions. Sorry for being so boring.

I don't scam honest people running a business on guru, just silly pubs who think they're going to run me to Snakes Dance and ditch me.

Hmm.

Ganked an ecto drop in Tomb of the Primeval Kings (Courtyard map) from a PuG one time. Outraced 2 other guildies to get to it first when the drop became public.

Ganked a req 10 Plagueborn bow from a PuG one time while doing Tahnnakai. Told the dude about it in team chat. He didn't pick it up. 5 minutes later, off I go (spamming Dodge and Storm) to collect. Naturally, it was 15^.

Did I give it to him? Um...no.

i see the best of guild wars have all come to meet

i got a team for HoS runs with my monk just to solo the 1st lvl ..

little did i know, i didnt even have the quest, so the gate was locked, and i didnt own up =D

ive brought farming builds into RA and killed tons of dumb wammos.

I was pugging and a black dye dropped for someone and I told him I would buy it from him for 1k and he said fine. So I bought the dye and sold it for a 7k profit.

You still owe me for that run! j/k

My first character ... didn't know much about runes ..... just stuck them all over the armor, anywhere. Ended up salvaging what I could and doing it in a more logical way after I got some playing experience.

First time I entered UW, I gnabbed the quest. I don't think everyone had even loaded yet. Yeah, I was one of THOSE noobs...

If I go into a very long game but get tired of my group, I leave. But I don't just leave, I force "...has lost connection with the server." and I simply don't return.

There was a total a*shole of a survivor in my group once, (I was MM) so I left and had my army of minions kill him.

Ahh, the good ol days

helped with galrath quest many times just so I can grab the loot when everyone leaves after killing him off.....yeah pretty lame but its all I got (and I needed the dang plant fibers for making stuff for armor and it was the easiest place to get it back then).

QFT.

Looking at the reason the community sucks. GG for sociopaths.

I said I was cool.

Biggest.Lie.Ever.

I believe Darwin calls that Survival of the Fittest.

I never got a droks run. I mean, I got one when I already had droks, but never got a droks run without already having it.

I used to charge 1k a town on desert tours late at night and made a 30k+ profit for 20 minutes of work.

I can think of four people who I owe ~10k to... They still haven't asked for it.

That is community service, sir. Not something to be ashamed of. I f'n LOLLED.

I think i've killed off maybe a dozen Indomitable (R2) survivors on FFF runs because they didn't have Steward/or because they kept violating A/C rules. This was when I was an offi in one of the guilds in the HzH alliances.

Yes, I was one of those kinds of officers.

No remorse.

Biggest regret is selling my Kuuna and Varesh... of course I didn't regret it until the HoM was announced.

I got drok runs on my lvl 3 characters. Then got a run to Marhan's Grotto, just so I could buy 15k and own lvl 8s in Ascalon Arena. This was before factions came out and I was bored.

Okay, I intentionally destroyed a ToPK team on the 4th level right in front of the Darkness's by aggroing the left side mob and mapping out, leaving them to deal with the mob, and my minnions. The reason? They were teasing me that the MM never gets the good drops, this was when Victo's axe and Bulwark were 70-80 K. The only one left alive was the Orders, and he had no rez. HA HA HA HA!

Somone i knew on MSN blocked me so i went onto a chatroom and gave the adress (a female ofc) to all the weridos .

But you mean in GW? I once activated one of those quests in UW that gets the whole party screwed and blamed it on somone else xd.

I blew 200k on skills before tomes came out. ow owned...

I always had a good faction rating for Balth...Damnit. Why couldnt I just waited until tomes came out.

OWNED.

First one I can think of was when Hard Mode came out and I decided it was high time I got around to finishing at least one of the campaigns. So, when I finally made it to Imperial Sanctum, I fought Shiro a couple times with the idea in my head that you were supposed to STOP attacking when he used Meditation of the Reaper. Got a PUG or two wiped that way. Oops. At least I managed to remedy that pretty quickly.

I also feel kinda bad about way back when it was just Prophecies and I had this "Runners are evil and everyone must experience the full story of the game" mindset. That's mostly changed now. It's really only bothersome if someone gets runs through the game and then blames the game if they get bored - I don't mind it in any other case.

I sold a lvl 8 monk in droknars a Kanaxi's axe for 90k (prices at the time were about 35k). He then proceeded to ask how could mod it, to which I put him on ignore...

A warrior (amazing how most stories start like that) decided it was a good idea to run out of the fortress in Thunderhead Keep. He ran ahead and killed 3 jade, screaming at the monks for healing when they were protecting Jalis.

Well he was also right on the brown spots on the map outside the fortress. For those that don't know, that's where the siege attack lands. A quick tug of the catapult and down he went. Full health to dead in just one hit. No one went to res him so he rage quit. Made the mission far easier.

once when i was a monk in a group, i didn't use any skills on a guy because he was making fun of another person's build, and that person was new. he died a lot ^^ .

I traded a newb a major vigor for a black dye :S.

My guildy and I went PUGging... he was an ele, but brought Vengeance, and the warrior kept asking what was killing him. XD So amusing.

I have no words but these....

psh, I got all y'all beat

let's see..

summer of 05 scammed roughly 2-3 million gold? a couple hundred ecto, a shitload of runes etc back when it was all worth something. would do the bait and switch shit, but always mistyping and being all "ah shit sorry how much did you say it was again?" and then putting it in gold instead of plat and being all lol woot.

uhmmm..

favorite thing to do was grief RA/AB frequently

some guy with a high level character in presearing gave me his account info believing I would help him win a mini rollerbeetle as a friend of mine used two of my spare accts to place in the top 100, I logged onto one and met this guy and after getting his info took all his stuff and deleted his character after a week.

then I would go on that account and pretend to be the 'true' owner of the account and talked about how my friend had been using my account and I don't know anything about what happened with him

subsequently ruined his name on that presearing.com forum which was kinda mean

hmm.. i did that to another account too, I remember stripping an account and deleting all of its characters.. but it was prob in early 06 or late 05 don't even remember where the account info came from..

OH YEAH! that guy nico sharp or something. yeah. got his account info someway or another a few months before factions came out, stripped his account dry but left the characters I believe.

hmm.. what else've I done.. buhuhhhssssss I donno, shit.

back in like 05 my friend and I would go into missions and pretend to be participating and then just sit at the start and spam spirits and sit in the middle of them and laugh while everyone QQ'd in local chat saying 'oh shit what happened to those two rangers'

yeah. a lot of it boredom induced

got to rank 8 off IWAY 'cause I didn't feel much like really earning it even though I grinded slowly and lamely to it

got rank 5 commander in hero battles by using a fake /roll - a bunch of characters that would show up in the game as a space to make fake emotes that looked perfect, yeah..

would go on my spare accounts and generally just harass / grief people in local chats / RA etc.

can't think of much else I'd done- I used to give free runs through the desert everyday back in late 05 and early 06 as a ranger before factions came out and W/Mo stopped being popular, haha.
told myself i did that to make myself feel better for scamming so many people but
in all honesty i didn't really feel bad ever

it was always a good laugh

well, yeah. i welcome any and all flames

I honestly can't remember ever ripping someone off like you did. It could be because I avoid interaction with the community because of people like you, but never know.

The only questionable thing I can think of is leaving a necromancer dead during a ToPK run. He was the MM, and for some reason was talking some serious crap about my BiP/OoP build. After the second level, he refused to do anything but stand around and leech drops, while talking shit. We purposely got him killed on the last level, way away from the end, and never rezzed him, therefore not getting the greens. He deserved it though.

i bought a crystaline sword in fow an only paid the guy 40k still what can u do ???
