Anything that does not help my Dervish get my full HoM. That's my only long term goal. Prep for GW2.

That being said there are a lot of things WAY down on my list (drunk title, wisdom title, FoW armor) that I will only do when I'm done the rest.

Let's rephrase the question to what many people are actually answering: "What do you consider beneath you?"

See, just because you won't play in pugs (for example), doesn't mean you should use that fact to mentally masturbate on a forum.
lol, what is your problem? Its just a topic about things that we wont do in game. Its also in Riverside which is simply general conversation, during a time in the game when there isnt all that much to talk about in the first place, so being bored and making some posts in topics of questionable "value" should rather be expected.

I for one find the topic somewhat interesting, to see where people sit with certain things. Has nothing to do with ego or looking down on people, which you know what, is also one of the things I dont do in game, as well as refuse to put up with excessive amounts of.

Refuse to do...
--PvP
--Trade/sell
--Holiday quests (Wintersday, etc., all that stuff just seems so very very dumb, imo)
--Farm for bizarre, ugly items like "oven-mitt" Destroyer Gloves
--Display minipets
--Dance in my skivvies (at least not in Guild Wars )


Just don't do...
--Elite areas such as Deep, FoW, etc. (not until they're henchable)
--BMP missions (they just bore me for some reason )

I refuse to complain and bitch and moan about things not being "universally available" and "killing the economy", then the next complaining that a feature made universal is somehow equally "ruining the economy" and "what was once for elite people is now for noobs" and the such QQ.

Other than that, I will try everything that doesn't bore me .

Don't really waste much time thinking about things that i won't do.

I prefer to simply login and do whatever seems fun at the time(considering how much time i have to "burn").

- Play BiP. *shudders*
- Take Obs. Flesh tanks and bonders in FoW.
- Deal with idiots. Some PUG gets annoying while they're in my alliance group? No more heals, the guy dies, no res from our monks, he leaves. Run resumes as if nothing had ever happened, usually without drawbacks. Might sound like a jerk, but I'd rather keep a good group harmony and finishing than having a guy whine about every single thing.

Ursan anything
Tanking (i'm a warrior)

I agree with all of those.. I took out title displaying because even if to others they don't mean anything.. I still have titles.. so I might as well display them.

As long as it's within the EULA and basic morals (no lying, cheating, or stealing) I'm willing to at least try just about anything in-game.

I refuse most grindwork (titles without any benefit besides epeen, etc)

I refuse to use cheap methods like Ursan or spirit-spamming the Norn Tourney. If I accomplish something, it's done fair and square.

I refuse to bother worrying about having status for internet strangers, so I buy only the weapons and armors I personally like.

I refuse to ever scam, grief, or otherwise distrupt other players. Even though it is just a game with no RL consequences, I still play honorably.

Bored... erm Boardwalking (is it not rather AFKstanding?), Pugging, Grinding.

I count titles that ask me to do the same thing over and over (chest running) as grinding.

WoW, I've done almost everything in this thread, save for the Mallyx and other glitches....

Guess I'm just cheap and easy......

I pug, I pvp from time to time, AB and such...
I do HM, and normal mode...
I farm from time to time...
I work on titles, though only rank 1 sweet tooth and no drunkard...
I use every skill in the game, from UB to Meteor Shower on my war

Most importantly I have FUN!

But seriously, I will never tank or play anymore hero battles. I could make a large list of things, but it's not that I "refuse" to do them, it's that they bore the hell outta me.

I don't refuse to do anything. Seriously. I will UB, if it means making things easier. I did the HoS run when it was pickup barrol/drop barrol as fast as you can. I did just about everything, except DoA/Mallyx because I hate DoA. It's just so bland, lifeless, and boring.

The holy trinity... I have no problem with. If it works, it works.

i think i love you....

As far as things I won't ever do, I'm really not far enough in to know exactly what I will and will not do. I will not run missions for free, or quests, or anything of that matter. I think if you can't beat the easier missions on your own, you either need to a) find a friend and go through them together, making the game more fun or b) rethink your strategy, making you a better player. I don't think you should pay some complete stranger to do all the work for you: yeah, you'll end up with a lvl 20 char, but it'll be a weak lvl 20, because the player themselves will be weak. play through solo a bit, become stronger as a char and as a player, then come talk to me for help

I agree with Burst Cancel.

A lot of people in this thread(ie PvE community) wont do PvP because they feel they are "better" or more "mature" than the majority of the PvP community. So pretty much the PvE community is taking the moral high-ground since many don't understand PvP or even really try too.

Many put just PvP as things they don't do, for why is a stab in the dark, probably because of Burst Cancel reasoning.

No, probably because people like that have a tendency to PvP and, in PvE, if you wish, you can play simply with AI or narrow it down to a few friends of your own choosing and not have to put up with any of that sort of attitude or maturity level.

Personally, I liked PvP, until I simply ran into too much of the same and decided to do without it. Its not on my refuse to do list. Its just something I'll do no longer in GW.

He does have a point though. This constant bitching and whining about Ursan is sooo tiresome. If you want to use it - use it. If you don't, don't. If it could be used in pvp then fine, there is an argument - but it isn't.
To think that someone considers there to be some sort of moral aspect as to why they shouldn't use it......................sheesh
Why people get sooo stressed over it is beyond me.
