um, you haven't gotten to FoW, Underworld, or Sorrow's Furnace have you?

Best places for everything.

I don't complain about what I don't have, because I realize that most of it is because I'm not a hardcore player.

Yup, It hates me.

Two days in a row we have had someone DC loading into Match 15 in TA, bye bye 6 glad points.

I really hope though that it is someone else on my team it hates.

No, I don't sense any a hate from GW. Maybe some tough love on occasion, which is fine. I shouldn't always get my way.

Sounds like you hate GW instead of the other way around.

Farm more! Or do something useful like GvG

I think Anet has something better to do than go through and pick out people to hate.

sooo.... my opinion is Anet doesn't hate me, and doesn't like me either - they don't know me

I do get dye drops, ectos, golds, greens, lockpicks

However when playing with my family I seem to be the least lucky of the bunch of us.

heh, I dont think gw hates me, but I know many days where I think it has it out for me. Silly lockpick breaking nonsense. That has to be the worst feeling, you have spent all this time getting your titles up so your retain rate is better, you get to a nice area with a Locked Chest, you break your pick and open a q13 grappy mesmer something with deathbane mods. I think that is the point where you just want to break someone/something in half, especially when your buddy next to you pulls out his Sundering Sweetdrop of Fortitude q9

They hate my lockpicks for sure. Drops are just a matter of knowing what/when.

Somedays are good, some days are bad...

For example, I don't farm, but I have a fairly large amount of greens (dropped ones as well). A chunk of golds that are useable (and are rare), plus enough cash to keep me afloat until the day I randomly get 15k knights for my not-much-used warrior. That was a lot of money gone lol.

Better yet, locked chests: I have a MINIMAL retain %, but last weekend (still going through GWEN, been a busy life lately), I only needed two for every chest I came across. About 12 chests, 8 golds, and only needed 2 lockpicks . The weekend before? I stopped buying lockpicks lol.

Hmm dont really understand the purpose of this thread. GW is a game it doesn't "hate" players. Your drops are highly dependant on your luck. It all evens out at the end.

nothing to do with drops, but

i made a mm for the sole purpose of having unlimited minions, the very day i got to lvl 20 anet nerfed it.

i made a monk for the sole purpose of farming the trolls, anet nerfed aoe damage the day i captured soj

same goes for warrior, was getting right into learning how to kill the trolls on and could nearly do a full run without dying and it got nerfed.

bad luck? i think not xD

shoulda made a necro earlier though, theyre amazing

Yes, in short, the game hates me. It used to love me, Pre-Factions. Well, actually, a lot of elite tomes drop for me. But beyond that, it hates me.

So many people call it a game of luck. You are either lucky or unlucky.

Time for me to figure out a suggestion to get drops applied to the Lucky/Unlucky title.

<X = unlucky
>X = lucky

Now what is X?

GW doesn't hat, Gaile confrimed it...but i was cursed when my account was made. I have verified with dozens of players that i have the worst luck with drops, salvages, and everything else. I killed a boss 100+ times 60 in RM and then 30 in HM after it came out, and i never got the green i wanted. NOT ONCE! I have probably killed over 1,000,000 creatures over 2.5 years of player, and i think i have gotten less then 15 greens, maybe 50 or so golds, and i never get anything else worth money. FOW run for 2 hours almost everyone had 2 shards and i hadnt even gotten a non blue or white drop. Of weapons or crap merch fodder

Monty, love this QFT

Some days, weeks, and even months my drops will be really bad - no matter what I'm doing. But then I'll managed to get days when money grows on trees. However my enjoyment of the game isn't based on what I get dropped, so the dry periods really aren't all that bad for me.

@ OP, I notice your join date is Nov 2007, is that how long you have been playing the game? That's only 4 months of game time, surely you don't expect to have everything drop for you in that time?

why are people complaining about tiny stuff?

try getting anet hate like i do.. spent over 50k on uw entrance fees. solo, all smites -completed. 0 ecto.

over 100 byzzar farm solo HM, no elite tomes.

over 80 queen farm, for kephket back in the day. only 1.. count 1 green staff.. after those 80+ runs.

500+ lunar fortunes last year. no mini pig. seriously... got 1 from a guildie cuz of sympathy. gave it away to guildie later to find out i can sell it for 100k+ in this year's event.

100+ lunars this year.. u guess right! no damn rat.

spent a week solid on nothing but ids farm runs. ill give you one guess... NOT EVEN ONE DAMN IDS.

had to spend well over double the average ammount on tickets to farm lucky points during canthan events.. hit lucky #2 after 4 different events.

oh, and the one rare weap skin i get.. golden pheonix blade.. req 13.. 19% vs ogres... WTF! cant even sell it as a caster weapon..

ele sword farming.. spent a week doing it.. guess agian! not even one..

basically i completely gave up on the whole farming thing, or attempting anything for loot. all time in gw is either spent attempting to get a free title, or GvG's.

oh you know that zaishen chest.. opened 20+ times.. nothing but firewater, and creme. . . . .

oh, and those times i won halls.. got stupid sup runes.. not even a sigil.. ffs..

thank you anet for hating me for loving my paragon!

in other words.. F--- You! ANET!

GW hates me when I do the unthinkable: quest and do missions with other people. Every time I do something with my guild or alliance, they get all the drops. I went to FoW with my alliance and an ecto dropped for the resident shard hog (well, one of them). However, I did get an ecto too but no shards or golds. But when I go with henches, I seem to get 3 golds per LB run and 2 elite ele tomes in 2 runs.

It's making me think GW is actually a 1 person game

Wow, Moose...
You're complaining about farming.
And Mini Pigs were worth nothing after the event.
And I didn't get my Celestial Pig OR Rat.
I felt good about that aswell.

Oh and if you're having sex with your Guild Wars then you need to seek help because it's an inanimate object.

Yes, for sure.
I even got purple crap items the "first" time I open some treasure chests, burried treasures and do not touch! My guild mates said it's impossible but it happened to me.
But, lately, I don't care much about it I got used to my bad luck and I try to enjoy the game nevertheless!
