i don't know what your complaining about baz your drops are always better than mine!!

I have had a suspicion that guild wars hates me for a while. It gets reconfirmed every time i play with a guildie/pug as peeps always get better or more drops than me.

lol. Nevermind i still hope that one day ill get a req 9 silverwing bow in frostmaws....

Yesterday I got seven golds and 7 shards on a full FoW run.
So, no, GW doesn't hate me. But my guild on Vent does

Yes, a piece of computer coding hates you, even though it has no feelings or judgement whatsoever.

These kind of 'feel sorry for ourselves' threads are very pointless, the drops are random, and if you over farm an area, they get worse.

It always seems that everyone else is getting better items.
But it's all random, and if you see someone having a lot of those good items, then it's probably because he/she plays a lot more frenquently.

Of course I sometimes thought that GW hates me.... for giving me 12 or more birthday presents so far and 10 of them were white,2 purple. But all of them were different, so it's not so bad after all.
Sometimes you dont get any drops in FoW/UW and sometimes you get more than average.

So, no.. I don't think the game hates me... as it's all random^^

I have two ideas about drops rates...

People closer to the enemy get better drops...
If you are not me, you get better drops...

First idea in action is the poor 1hp bip in Urgoz
Second idea... you have to join me for a run and reap massive rewards while I get nothing (Anet nerfed me out of pure love)

In Soviet Russia, You hate Guild Wars!

Hmm, I dunno if it's GW that hates me, or its population. My drops are fairly decent, but there's one certain bald, navy blue, chubby monk in my guild who hogs all the golds when we're in DoA :> It's like I don't particularly get those "sell me for 50k" rares, but I get a good amount of low-quality rares that net me about 300 gp each. I manage. Somehow.

When I first tried the W/Rt smite build I probably had to run it about 20 times before my first ecto drop. I know it was nearly a week before the first one because I was staying up late on a Friday night and was just about to give up when I got it, and I had first gotten my Elite Rit tome the Saturday before.

Since then I've gotten plenty more. I have 22 stored now. My problem is Shards. I only have something like 6, and 3 of those dropped in one run.

At least I get screwed on the cheaper ObArmor material, I guess o_0

Frostmaw's Burrows. Spend an hour on the (imo) hardest dungeon. Some mishaps, wurms that sit on the shrine etc. Fine, I beat Frostmaw, open the chest.. and bam! A lockpick and an onyx gemstone. But atleast I had the quest reward... >_>

Can't say anything about UW and FoW drops.. I've never been there in all my years of playing.

Computers are evil... errors... lag... and bsods... oh my!!!

Not usind sync in RA equals who cares
Exploiting sync in RA equals glad points
Not having to waste your time with nub sins that think they are tanks... priceless...

For the past couple days i have been farming gates of kryta hard mode. I managed to snag like 2 or 3 golds. Sadly they had mods that were 1 away from being perfect. Like +29 hp mod, 14 % dmg when above 50 percent hp. :/

Guild Wars LOVES me.

Every ecto run always gives me 6 or more. I don't know why people get less than 2.
one month of playing I got a perfect fellblade. Wow.
I've gotten more black dyes than white dyes
A week after factions came out I get a perfect celestial hammer. Bling.
When Factions came out our groups was one of the first groups to beat Kanaxai. I got the Axe, bling bling.
The second run I got a perfect zodiac sword and nearly perfect longbow (Had to buy one mod). Even More bling bling.
A little before nightfall came out I got a perfect Crystalline sword. Req 8. Ka-ching
My second coffer of all time gave me a mini mallyx. More Ka-ching
I bought 10 coffers and got a mini mallyx and armbrace. Bling the ka-ching.
A week after the October 12th update I got a perfect inscription Eternal Blade. Bling Bling the ka-ching
A week or 2 after March update I got a perfect caster Obsidian Edge. Bling Bling the big ka-ching
A few weeks when EOTN came out I got a perfect a Saurian Scythe. $x1000
a month after I got a perfect Crystal Flame Staff, perfect and for divine favor. $x2000

I had no idea people were so cursed. Whenever I become low on money, I have a storage of platinum coming my way.

As I said, Guild Wars LOVES me. People that ask me for money. No, I'm saving up to buy a mini ghostly.

Karma is a strange thing. It seems like the more nice things I do, the more nice things comes my way. I'm not saying I got the money, I'm saying what money could have. The most I've got was 1000k. Blew almost all of it on z-keys.

Sold it to a guildy for 3k. He just got scammed.

Kept the sword, gave the bow to a friend.

Sold the mallyx got scammed of the armbrace. (I got a iron ingot as soon as i traded. WTF happened? no /report at the time)

That is going to my Mini Ghostly.

Farming for me gets boring... FAST. An hour of doing the same thing. I like getting my toucher and pwn noobs with a noob build.

Just because I got those things, doesn't mean I sell them all.

That's over 2 and a half years a playing. I had my share of bad luck.

Best 1st year present was a burning titan
I bought a mini necrid horseman for 100k (When minis first came out)
I bought a mini varash for 75k. The next day it was 20k.
I bought a elemental sword. A few weeks later it dropped by 1000%
I bought 100 z-keys not one everlasting
PuG's has always been bad with me
I've gotten close to my mini ghostly. Until ecto's went from 7k to 4k. Then I thought, screw it, I'm buying chaos gloves for some of my characters. Now they just got back up.

Sometimes I think the devs coded a luck factor for your account, but then i think nah, its just the randomness of drops. How messed up would it be if they did, and thats why you never got anything good? O.o

Ive got a mini "Flying" dragon.......and all armor for a sin, minus 3 or 4 sets.
So, i'm good for now.
I don't care for the money, I make what I need when I need it.
GW dosen't hate me, ia balance of luck on my part.
I've blown over 6mil gold over these years............O.O.
I can't really prove it, but your more than welcome to come see the stuff I got in game if I'm ever on.

I used to think my name was in the Guild Wars code to exclude me from all the good drops.
Money has always been a problem for me and high end farming is not my cup of tea.
Not that I don't want to, but I always seem to miss the boat; not the right prof in specific area, the farm build has been nerfed, the item has been overfarmed and it worthless or it's just too hard for me.
But since the days of the Zaishen keys my GW life has become great.
I had lots of keys (5 accounts) which I hadn't used when the price went from 2 to 5k.
Predictions have been a steady 600+ k profit every month.
Over the past year I farmed 16.000 grawl necklaces (half hour each day, and since I play every day that's no big deal), traded them for ghosts on halloween and sold for 50-60k stack.
Plus the farming gave me over a 100 of all regular, over 40 black and over 50 white dye's.
And every half hour run nets you about 500g
After three years of playing my luck has finally changed I have given many chars elite armor and was finally able to buy me FoW.
I still have a load of ecto's and cash so whenever something new comes to GW I'll finally be able to buy it and avoid the EVIL Guild Wars code.

Gw hates me the most. I have a 40% chance to crash everytime I zone. Think about travelling for an hour to get to a place then crashing, or getting to the final level of a dungeon then crashing. This crash also doesn't allow me to reconnect. Horray.

Itemwise, best item I ever got was a Req 9 Voltic spear when the VS chest thing was big. Before I started doing it I promised my guild mate jokingly If I got a Req 9 VS I would give it to him because he wanted it for ages. Handed it over as promised now wheres my good karma ;_;
