not to mention how many HoH chest i opened since middle of 06, god i hate those flames..........

I don't think it exactly hates me. I've gotten my greens that I've wanted (though some took more tries than I think they should have). I think GW must hate some people. Once when I was farming SS/LB points with a group, we came across a locked chest. Everyone opens it and they all get golds, except one guy who gets a purple...
Crom The Pale
Random droms have been quite random for me.
I've had my fair share of crap and then some, but I've also had a small number of really great drops as well. They balance out in my mind.

GW gave me a celestial rat after 25 lunar fortunes, so i'm grateful to have skipped that episode.

Yes, GW hates me. In over 3,000 hours of play since launch:
Black Dyes: Eight.
Ecto: around 10, but I rarely frequent places they drop
High end weapons: One.
Average # of golds drops while vanquishing an area: <2
Birthday minipets: All Whites!
100's of Tombs runs:3 or 4 victo's axes, Not one Bulwark, ever (ahh, remember when they were going for 100K+?).

No, GW doesnt hate me, and if it does, I still love it too much to notice. If I ever feel that it hates me, all I have to do is look at my weapon collection and think "well, maybe it isn't ALL bad".

Locked Chests hates everyone.
New PvE Shout skill:
"Break on a grape!" All allies within Shout range will be affected for 2..4 years. All chest will only drop non-max grape weapons with high requirements. All lockpicks will break.

You can't see me
I don't think Guild Wars loves or hates me. It just gives me the occasional good drop, but mostly junk.
But I don't see any constructive discussion rooting from "How lucky are you?".

I am beginning to think this game doesn't like me having a survivor. Was working on the first quest in the Command Post quest series, sent my 2 melee heros into a group of Corsairs, targeting their dervs, that immediately shot past my heros straight at me. 2 hits and I was dead. (269,547 xp). After 100 hrs 22 mins over 37 days, it was a shock. I had completed all the missions and quests up to Divinity Coast, completely cleared the fog up to there also. Mapped newbie isle and did several mainland quests in Factions, same in the training area of Nightfall. With all that I had done with her, rerolling is not an option. I went back out to finish that quest and 'punish' those guys for killing her. Instead of aggro control now, I aggro everything on the map, and guess what, even standing in the middle of a mob of 15 to 20 bad guys, none have even threatened my life.
I guess this game 'hates' me having a survivor.

So i never farm... i make money services...

I almost always get crappy equippable drops. The only decent things I've ever gotten:
Gold Elemental Sword - Q12, crap mods, inscripted
Gold Ivory Bow - the day before they released new bow skins....
Gold Fellblade - Q12, crap mods, before there were even inscriptions
Otherwise any rare or valuable skins I have, I've had to buy. I do okay on ectos though. 22 stored right now, and I've had 3 black dyes in 24 months, 2 of which I still have. Gotten 3 or 4 Superior Vigors, and I usually get a lot of the 500g-1.5k runes in my chosen farming spot, so I'm generally good on money.
In fact, for the first time in over 2 years, I bought ascended armor this weekend because I hit 200k in storage and had plenty of materials for it. Felt like splurging on that instead of gambling on chests like I usually do with my money.
Of course, in all this, bear in mind in more than two years I "only" have under 900 hours logged in.... many of those hours were not even spent playing because I walked away or went out with it still logged in (which royally screws up my machine if Windows locks the screen for more than a few minutes with GW still running...)

As for me, I think the game likes me just fine, but I'm sure there's a few people in it that aren't too fond of me. :: snicker ::

If you want some fairly good dyes, go to Factions and do NM/HM Vermin Farming. From about 5 hours total (on the course of several days) I got 2 white dyes, 1 Black Dye, about 7k in cash, and 3 Gold Items, in Normal Mode.
FoW is also a good source of money, I got a total of about 15k in normal FoW in about 2.5 Hours (with a party of 5). Treasure Hunting also got me about 45k in about 1 Hour. My big find with Treasure Hunting was a Req 10 Gemstone Axe. I spent 4k and upgraded it to 20/19, +30, 15^50, and sold it for 20k; when it normally would have sold for about 2k-5k.
So no, Guild Wars hate me, it doesnt hate anyone. I think it is just how you manage your money, where you farm, and whether or not you take advantage of the chances you get.

Although, I have something like a 34% chance to break items when salvaging and I'd say that when I do salvage I keep maybe 1 in 5 or 6 items intact. I have terrible luck with that.

don't rely on game giving you good drops... if that would happen then everyone would be rich... there is no such thing as luck. If u are waiting on it, then you'll be poor forever... go to the places with good drops... know how to reset your drop rate.... don't rely on Chinese bot farm tactics to gain your gold ... there are other ways

Does Guild Wars Hate You?
I'd say no. Ive had fun playing/still having fun doing what I like to do in the game. There have been upz/downz days / good/bad drops through the years, but I'd say there was more positives.

I dunno if GW hates me, but I'm sure not getting a lot of love on either the drops (how many other people can do full fow clears and not get a single shard other than the end chest, twice in a row?) or the lockpick retention (come on, at 60% retention I should retain more than 1 in 5 on average?) I'm not gonna whine that I never got that uber rare eleventy million ecto drop cause I don't play/farm enough for that.
Dark Kal
I don't blame GW or A-Net, lady luck is the one that seems to hate me.
Lyger
GW hates me playing my PvE monk. Everytime I go with guildies to fight Shiro in factions, I spend the entire match banished and miss all the action.
And my 49% lockpick retention rate feels more like 0.01% recently.

Fianlly had a good run on the treasures in NF. I can only get to 4 of them at the moment. The very 1st Buried Treasure dropped 535g and a maxed Suntouched Shield of Fort. 2nd and 3rd were pretty good too, Maxed Dual Winged Axe of Warding and a Voltaic Air Staff.
We'll see how this goes next month.

Drops in GW are directly proportional to how you behaved in your previous lives prior to your present reincarnation.
Therefore, you only have yourselves to blame.
