The problem of Poly is that it promotes 1v1 battles. And GW is a team game. So I seriously doubt it would expand the re-playability of GW.
IF bringing Poly to PvP would require a bit of work - I'd be against against it. I'd rather they'd focus on things that are fun. If it could be done without much trouble - then I really don't mind them brining it. "I" don't need to play it - so having it there doesn't influence me in the slightest.

55 easier than Ursan?
No, let me tell you how it works. When you 55, the team revolves around you. Even if your SS/SV partner sucks, you will still kill foes eventually. Ursan IS simple and easy, do not get me wrong. Yes, people (pugs, particularily) often forget its limits and lead the group to death. But that doesn't make Ursan HARD, does it?
If you play SS/SV in UW with a 55 monk pug that keeps dying everytime a Nightmare pops up, does that make 55/SS hard?
55 is easy in theory, as you just need to recast stuff when it flashes. However, in practice it gets harder, because you sometimes have to deal with unexpected spawns, interrupts and things that you have no power over. For instance, doing Four Horsemen in 2-men was very hard at first, because we had to play against AI we ignored, rather than use our skill to overcome the challenge.

Yes, I agree with you on most of those points.
The possibility of being banned for swearing has me pretty annoyed too.
I don't actually know how real those threats are...I've cursed out some idiot that was annoying me, he reported me, but nothing ever happened. Maybe A-Net realized he's an idiot.
As for ursan...you bring up some very valid points.
My gripe with ursan is that...if you have to load up on consumables (steroids  ) to make a build work in hard mode...well...it's not really much of a build is it? However, I agree that getting to high ranks of norn does take time and effort. Plus, ursan really helps people play together...I mean you try doing something hard with 3 rangers, a mesmer, and a sin in your group.
As for Polymock...let me assure you, you're far from the first to point this out. So I really hope that with the amount of complaint A-Net's gotten about that, they'll finally give in and make a Polymock Arena.
As a final note...great job achieving all that in under 3 months!

Farming...
His Dervish has a staff....so possibly using some kind of farming build on a Dervish, maybe a smiter in 600.
BUT...more likely than not...
since he is obviously a hardcore supporter of UB, he probably rolls his face on the keyboard and wins in elite missions.
Edit: Was right with the second one....

If you listed that you were top 8 in the WCG for warcraft3 or something, that'd be impressive. Otherwise no. If your opinions are sound and logical, people will know that you're experienced."
I'm fairly certain the title of this thread ("2.5 Months in to GW, what a newb thinks.") is an admission that I am a newb. I may have been a tad ambiguous in this title but, it was meant to be self referential, to the author, who is me. The consolation being is that I'm the good kind of newb, who is humble, and is willing to invest time, and energy into getting a good experience not only for himself, but for all GW players.
Also he said: -"Anet has to ban people for swearing to comply with the fact that it's a 13+ (or general) game."
This is an interesting point, which leads me to wonder, does the content dictate the rating, or foes the rating dictate the content... If it is the latter (which I personally think it is...) I'm sure the ratings board must comply with A-Net's game design. Again, there is no swearing if the filter is turned on, making it a <13y/o game.
As for my ursan argument, u pretty much ignored all the points I made, giving me an excuse to do the same for you, 
Finally, if your having a hard time believing my xp/time played claims, here (yes, 2.8millions isnt 3, but its damn close :
Ps, I spend my skill points on consumables almost immediately LOL... WTS stars of Transferrence anyone? LOL
Please, we don't care what your 'l337' character looks like or your armor/experience in Gw. I read until you started talking about your 'Slayer of All' character.

Ursan debate is getting so old.
If you really want to ignore how beautiful this game is, how much freedom you have in building your character, please go ahead and push ursan button. If that is what makes you happy, if pushing 3 buttons over and over paying no attention to the battlefield is cool and challenging.
Well I prefer to have fun, even if that means failing over and over in some HM dungeon untill I set my heroes right, and then when I finally beat it, that is not time wasted.

It is a great idea, but because buying eotn is completely optional, not everyoine has polymock pieces, and A-net prolly doesnt want all the greif of people complaning. If they decided to work polymock into the rest of the games, i believe that it is a great idea. I like the personal, anywhere-anytime part of it also, rather than going to battle isles.
They have Hero battles, and not everyone has Nightfall or EotN to unlock Heroes with.

Dude, it's not that hard if you are a hardcore farmer.
Say one day he gets AT LEAST 20ectos, he can get FOW set in less than 10 days

2-3 Ectos a run.
1-1.5 hours a run.
100 hours for approximately 200 ectos, which would be around enough for FoW armor, calculating in the shards.

To OP: Well seing ur summups u are no way a newb and gj on mashing the whiners, and I think Polymock PvP could be an engineous idea coz it will look like Pokemon yay! 
being a big fan (even now) of Pokemon RPG series Polymock PvP seems very tasty, so if they can do they should.
Whine bashing on Ursan is also ok, If u grinded till r10 Ursan ur not a nub anymoar.

29 Mar 2008 at 17:43 - 27
Um why would anybody in their right mind actually still farm ectos.
Being r10, he prob does DOA so much that his eyes are bleeding at this very moment, then buys ectos. Hence, FOW after 51 days.
Although, i dont believe that he is only playing for 51 days, sure THAT character is, lets see a full /age bar pls. Prove me wrong, if i am, i apologise in advance, but im fairly sure im not

That is my guess...that is why he is intimately in love with his overpowered UB.

Title says he has been playing for 2.5 months, and that's more than 51 days. He hasn't lied yet, so chances are this is also true (or was true when he started this thread).

Max level grind title doesn't "prove" anything besides that you like to grind.
If the thread was "I like grinding" then he would have proved his point with the "Slayer of All" title. When his point is, "I am skilled at the game", the Slayer of All titles proves nothing.

big deal? no need to chew him out for it is there?
03 Apr 2008 at 00:06 - 35
He calls himslef a noob. But noobs CANT GRIND (!!!) they dont have a nerve for it, noobs get bored in seconds or try to grind stuff "little by little" or "when my mood is right", but we all know they wont get a shit this way, to be a successful title grinder u need to continuosly do the same thing, every game session till u get it, or u wont get it at all coz it will take way too long and u will lose ur focus.
Title grinding and all off the grinding isnt made for fun, its mostly a cyber-sport were u need to battle ur lazyness and other similar factors till u get what u whant, but when u get it the delightness u get from it would be almost impossible to discribe in words.
Noobs play for a sickenned idea of "fun", spend HOURS dancing behind a healer hench with their crappy Wammo in cheap platemail spamming guild and ally chat with sick and noobish trolling or annoy people and if they start to grind, 10 mins of it would be enough for them to call it "unhumanly difficult" and "boring" and that they play for "fun" which really isnt fun and isnt playing.

Well look at it this way...
You need your motor changed in your car. Someone claims they are more than qualified to change your motor. The reason they are so qualified to change the motor in your car is because they have had to change a flat tire on their car 648 times.
Just because they have changed their tire 648 times does not mean that they are a professional mechanic. Same thing here, he is claiming that he is experienced with the game because he has done the same task over and over again. People with any knowledge will know that him liking to grind does not make him experienced, nor does it make his opinion have any more weight than other people. Some people, like yourself, who obviously think very highly of the title (I am guessing you have it too? or want it?), think he is a superior human being for having it.

Agree on the swearing opinion, agree on the Ursan opinion.
As for the OP, I feel he'd have been better off leaving the rest of the details out.

03 Apr 2008 at 00:18 - 39
I really think the OP isnt a who we think he is, dont think he is a noob but rather someone experience who is trying to pull off "Im a noob who has a leet armor"
