MS + Glyph of Sacrifice = pwnage.

Also missed out: 7 Hero teams!

I am literally screaming with laughter at my desk - the office must think I'm crazy. This is so neat - I'm so glad the devs see the lighter side of our requests!

Anet should make a semi AB area where you can use PVE skills (all cap at max title so its semi fair) but with no title or faction/point gain...all just for fun..that would rock the boat

I got another GREAT ONE! Everyone will love this, I'm sure of it!

Stickman outfits are permanent.

/sarcasmoff

I would love that, but I can see now that it's never going to happen. FFS my framerate increased, and my computer isn't gusting at me.

It'd be harsher if they released GW2 art and then hid loads of nerfs underneath it.
