Just to add a Yin to the Yang, I'd have to say PvP titles are the most overrated thing. People bash PvE titles alot, but at least some of them can affect your gameplay in a positive fashion.

PvP titles IMHO, just show that you like to play the same maps, against the same people, using the same flavor builds everyday for years on end so that you can stand around in a town that is mostly full of afk people and spam rank emotes that no one cares about. Or, ohh, I can hold 100,00 Balth faction on my account, oooOOOooo.

No one cares. To each his own. I like my PvE titles and could care less about PvP titles, I'm sure there are plenty of people who think just the opposite.

Plus, I think Obby armor is hideous.

If Champion doesn't demonstrate skill and dedication to the game, literally nothing else does.

ANY armor dyed all black (so you have plat, that dont impress me much).

FOW armor ('cept the female mesmer boots) (so you have plat or can farm, that dont impress me much).

fame spammers in pve (so you can pvp, who cares....go do that and leave us pve'ers alone).

overrated titles: most of them are, not many are worth displaying. (I only put the ones up I am using at the time, lightbringer, asuran etc).

overrated skin: any one that someone thinks is worth more than 100k, and many of the ones that are less than that as well. Who cares its worth, a sword that isnt max, has crummy mods, isnt worth more than what the merchant will pay for it if I cant change them (and some of them you cant). I judge the value of a weapon based on its usefulness not its skin.

FoW armor, for Warriors to be specific. IMO it's just fugly. It's sad because I know a few people who have bought it JUST because it was the most expensive set they could buy... Lots of money =/= good taste

Being a top PvPer. Good for you! I really mean that too (seriously, no sarcasm here). But if you're going to be a bad sport then you're not a top anything.

Nothing in this game bothers me, nor do i think anything is overrated. I just play and i dont generally care what people have/hold/diplay. I also dont get why most of you feel people display stuff to be cool. I havnt run into to many people that actually act like that or say that stuff.

So im going to go out on a limb and say Complaint forums like this, from the have nots are whats most overrated about GW.

This should be titled. "What did everyone beat you too, or copy you in, come here and bitch about it" thread!

Right. Because it's not possible to just think a popular skin isn't that pretty. Thanks for your contribution to the thread anywa--oh, wait.

To be fair, the Lightbringer title is extremely useful, and I imagine most people who are using it are probably using it for a reason, not just showing off.

They make me want to hurt myself.

Same goes for people using the same combo in different color.

Agreed.

I don't know why anyone would think female mesmer FoW was the ugliest of all though. Yeah there are better female mesmer armors, but it's not bad. And no where near as ugly as female mesmer elite luxon. I prefer to mix my FoW with other armor pieces, like the elite rogue top. But it also looks good on its own.

I also agree with those who say that dragon gauntlets are the single ugliest armor piece in the game. And that bandanas make female characters look like chemo patients. EotN seems to have made the majority of characters I see uglier than I ever remember them being.

As for titles... why should I care? They're hardly visible and don't look ugly, at least.

Same with crystalline swords- they genuinely look lovely on my particular warrior. I guess so long as I don't combine my guilty loves with other cliched items I'll be alright. Seeing as I play 2man + heroes a lot of the time there's only me and he who get to see them.

The only thing I've come close to getting 'just because' is necro FoW- it's totally fugly but I felt that I 'should' get it for my primary character because it's one of the harder things to work for. Thankfully talked myself back from that one, and decided a selection of 15k sets would make us happier. So I can see why people do buy these things.

Titles are all pretty over-rated, they're just there for your own joy I imo.

So many Rangers got norn because it's the only decent skin we have....
Seriously, all the other "elite" armours are dire when you are a female ranger.

Overrated-word which recently has been used liberally as a way of discrediting something without having to give a proper justification, most often when someone finds they have a disliking for a popular phenomenom and is resentful of those who embrace it. Often used by anti-trendies.

ex. "(Something loved by many) is completely overrated."

All the female, min height, monks with all black FoW usually complimented with chaos gloves annoy me but I do not find it overrated.

1) Fow Armor: I find it ugly, and unimpressive. Too often do nubs think fow armor makes you leet.
2) EOTN gloves/headpieces: Just when i thought all of the ugliest combos were done..an entire new matrix of possibilities has been uncovered.
3) Tormented Weapons: I was called a noob today because I don't like tormented weapons. The best skins are the simple ones. Gladius, Spiked Axe, Twin Hammer. I just feel tormented weapons are too..noisy. Glowing, purple, spewing ectos and mini mallyxs..Bit escessive.

That's the dumbest thing I've heard today and I just browsed these forums and GWO, so that's quite the accomplishment. People can't agree with other people now?
