Some people actually believe that vent is an elite skill that must be capped with a secret signet of stupidity from rurik in ascalon. If you wait long enough, you might get lucky and catch a noob standing in front of him trying to figure it out.
...He never will.

Hmm - how about the Spider pet causes Poison? I saw some *really* large arguments over that one with quite a bit of "proof" that it did.
Someone mentioned the Mad King - in the last few festivals he would get stuck and quit doing anything, many thought that if you click him (anyone and the first time it was done) he would stop.
And charming a bear in Pre-Sear Ascalon has moved back and forth between urban legend and reality so many times it is hard to keep up if it is currently possible or someone feeding you a line of bull they heard from a friend who heard from a friend.

Oh, and here's a few other urban myths
1. Assassins suck
2. Mesmers suck
3. Rangers suck
4. Ritualists suck
5. Smiter monks suck
6. Non SF or Echo/MS eles suck
7. Hammer warriors in pve suck
8. Non SS/MM/Battery necros suck.

I have a good friend who believes that doing a long, low-level mission (ala Ruins of Surmia) with low-level teammates (real players, not henchmen) will un-flag the drop restrictions on your account. He's always maintained this belief as long as I've known him--I met him long before loot scaling was put into the game.
I've personally never found this superstition to help me out, but he swears by it, and he believes that there really is an account flag that lowers and raises the amount of drops assigned to you in a mission.
The thing is, he really is a talented player.

I originally heard (back in the days) that using meteor's in Baal runs back in Diablo 2 gave less xp for the whole group, and there would be huge groups of people whining about it. I was very surprised one day to find someone whinging about an ele using meteor shower in fissure one day, because we would get less xp! I assume that's where he got it from? .... Weird.

For the REALLY old school PvP-ers:
"XXX is giving away free sigils in District 4"
A sufficient number of morons existed that would believe that people actually give away free sigils, such that you could get your buddy into the district and have that player join your Tombs party.

"WTS Glob of Frozen Ecto 5k!!! It will thaw into ecto after Wintersday!!!"

Haha i remember the Winter Dwarf rumor. In 2 hours it went from "Leave him alive for 10 mins to get a hat" to "Leave him alive for 10 mins and you get a mini pet,hat and 5 candy cane shards".
I reckon Anet had more fun with that than originally intended. Hopefully the same thing will happen this year
Theres also the fake weapons we have had (The IDS that months later actually made it into the game...and of course the famous Terror Shield that was rumoured to *only* drop from Dryders)

lol, fun thread.
my best story was about 2 years ago, my friends and I were getting together a gvg for our buddies guild and we ask one of there members whats the skills on his bar was (hes a warrior) and I immediately start correcting some stuff on the bar then ask him to bring res sig. to which he promptly responds "Whats that" I kindly explain what it was and where to get it (of course laughing in secrecy to my friends) and he adventures off to find res sig, we wait for about 20 minutes and he doesnt come back...so I guest another friend of mine to the guild and we start the gvg after about 2 hours or so we come back to the guild hall and see the warrior standing there, exclaiming how excited he was he finally found res sig.

You will note the "possible" part - as such I very well know one has been able to do it and as far as I understand you can currently do so. Then again the next update may change it (again) and we are back to arguing an "urban legend" - at least in the sense of the OP uses the term.
Sheesh, I can't believe that many people failed to see the "possible" part and jumped on me (well, I suppose this is the internet after all).

That there is a certain limit on A.net servers that prevents people from playing AB/FA maps (its just not true people, why in the world would a.net have enough server space to run like 100 RA, TA, HA, and GvG games at any given time, and be unable to run more then 5 ABs at once?). I HATE that rumor.
