I think you could get into the snake dance one if more then half your party was from the continent that had favor, so if euro have favor 5 euro's and 3 americans could get in (never confirmed this myself though).

Kill enough monster in certain area of the game, and some skill will become more powerfull.

On my first day of playing, a level 20 who took me under their wing told me the following:
"Everything that drops for you I need to have because you're a lower level and if you don't, when the monsters kill you, they will take all your weapons and armor"...
Needless to say, I believe the git until I was saved!

Is it true that by buying 'favor of the gods' you can increase your drop rate on good items?

A very long time ago, in my first guild as a matter of fact (when we were all noobs) we were doing a FoW run. Being noobs, the threat of dying was actually real, and the point that we had progressed to (the forest) was impressive to us at the time.
Well, noobs we might have been, but I had the overwhelming impression from my guild that they were still intelligent and certainly not ignorant enough not to know what Alt+F4 does. I guess it was my bad luck...we were talking about noobs (or people more noobish than us I guess) and without thinking I said something about Alt+F4 giving a bonus, fully believing that nobody on my team, none of my guildies could POSSIBLY be stupid enough to believe it.
I was wrong. A shitstorm ensued, and I had to apologize because I mistakenly respected someone's intelligence. Moral of the story: retarded until proven innocent.

I salvaged amber from an amber weapon just once, and I've been salvaging amber and jade weapons habitually since Factions came out. I think the chance is comparable to getting jewels from jewel weapons.

The Favor rumor was a good one. So many believed that when a server had favor the drops got 10x better. I actually saw someone who only farmed when the server he was on got favor.

Can't believe nobody mentioned the one about "watching the credits improves drop rates". That one used to be on GuildWiki.
I used to have a midget ele, and one someone told me that I was a n00b because short characters can't KD certain monsters.
Once, I saw someone with an r2 Luxon Title in HzH. A bunch of people were going, you know "go bak 2 clavalon c0kksuxx0n" and such but one guy said, honestly: "You can't get drops in Echovald if you have a Luxon title." I lmao'd at that one and he insisted it was true "I went to jade sea once and I got no drops for an hour".

He was somewhat disappointed when I told him the rune has a global effect that doesn't stack. |
hahahha Man I love ebayers and how dumb they are (never thought that reading a skill tells you what it does) o (but for that matter who woulda thought you would have to read in a MMO) I love all the people who ask questions that can be answered just by reading.

Oh and I'm surprised I haven't heard this one mentioned yet... r7-8 (max damage) weapons don't drop anymore. I hear it a lot =/ I've never gotten one myself but I'm fairly certain I've seen a friend of mine get one while we were in a group. |

Req 7 stopped after Prophecies, before factions.

awesome! 
When you play GW for 24hours a different message pops up other than "please take a break". I actually left GW running for that long (A long time ago :P ) .. only to find "You have been playing for 1 day, please take a break."
Damn you guildies >_<

If you farm until you get the anti-farm code twice and keep farming, eventually no whites, blues, grapes, or golds will drop. Just dyes. You can get 200 dyes in less than an hour.
Someone posted this either here or on another forum a while back and I believed it. x-x Big. Waste.

Here's one even some of my guildies believe:
Heroes of the same profession are programmed to use the same skills differently, as part of their "personalities".

I had this strange guild leader who sword that you had to beat prophecies to do the two +15 attribute quests. She maintained that because of this Prophecies was the only remaining "fortress of good players." The next day I did both of those quests having not beaten the game.
She told me it was a game bug and she was reporting it to ANet.
lulz.
Oh and another one:
Ursan takes skill to play.

There's that one where people think that certain heroes suck and they insist on bringing a different hero of the same class. What this means is that they still have the default build on their hero or one that they themselves made >.>
And the myth that heroes suck. Heroes don't suck; you just suck at setting up their builds.
