Sorry if this has already been done, I searched the forums but didn't find anything, but if it has please merge/delete.

But back to the topic:
Whats the thing that is the most disappointing that can happen to you?

Yes, this is a QQ thread.

For me, I would say it would be accidentally merching a q9 perfect Voltaic (or similar uber item) instead of the q13 18% while under 50% gold Long Sword you just got as a drop.

What do you say?

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Requirement Begins With R [notQ]

Ye olde displacement bug that has existed since the game's release. You run past a mob in to an empty area only to spring back in to the mob whilst simultaneously being mauled to death - even though you appear to be in a safe place.

To me the most disappointing thing would be people that use q instead of R or REQ for REQUIREMENT. q doesnt make any sense.

For me, its definetly spending a lot of time in a Ha or GvG group of just preperation
(like over 90 minutes or so)
and then losing or people raging after 1 match...extremely dissapointing.

1 response was quite odd in this thread though...

I don't think it is. It happens even with a healthy green ping.

What do you say?
For me is my unluck! I cannot believe that having 13 characters all lvl 20, in two accounts and having done the elite missions ....... I never get a good item!
It is so disappointing that every time I open a chest I get a crap purple items or at the final chests of long elite missions I get always craps!
I even got purple items the first time I got to a treasure/burried/do not touch chests .......!

I'm resigned and I do not hope anymore.

Good luck to you all.

The playerbase and its rapid degeneration. Three years back everyone was friendly and all was fun. By the time Factions rolled around, and especially NF, all i had to look forward to was chatting with my guildmates and friends. All chat has been off for a while

Currently, there are a total of 15 heroes from Nightfall and 10 from Eye of the North.

Each player may add up to three heroes at a time

People who think it should be r for item requirements.

Seriously, do you even realize that r is used to denote title and thus would cause confusion? The q in req is also the strongest sound in the word and so is more recognizable. It also sounds better for the purpose.

noobs who think they are good with extremely bad builds, like 5 rez monks and warriors who use heal party, infuse health, etc. I don't know how they do it. it fails on so many lvls. I just got out of a duncan group with a dervish, who I thought was an ursan, ended up having HB and healing ppl!! and he used seed of life with no benefit from divine favor!!!

epic fail guy fails at failing, see above noobs.

Your argument is flawed. If I sold you a r9 Ele Sword for 15k, then you discovered that a bright, gold tiger doesn't spawn out the front of it, would that make me a scammer? I've never confused rank with requirement, or vice versa.

Not to mention that requirements have been in the game longer than titles have.

How the community is going to crap more and more every day.
I once saw somebody in full obsidian armor with the chaos gloves doing those "Guess my favorite band" or "Guess my favorite food" type of things with a guild mate just to piss off newbies and other people who thought they could get a rare mini.
They both had the Rich Mahogany title as well...
Sad.

That's dumb.

FoW is also an acronym for this, does that mean we should start using a new one for Fissure of Woe?

You can't differentiate between "r9 pug" and "r9 sword" from context?

Thanks for not backing that up, makes my argument a lot easier to pursue.

Also, the overwhelming majority of Guild Wars players agree with me that q works better. Just look at item descriptions on forums and ingame.

Not really. You're not exactly going to get a weapon spamming Tiger, now are you?

They're less broken than Paragon or 'Sin.

Dervs get the tree.
Rits get Splinter Weapon and Ancestors' Rage.

Rubberbanding in mobs is mine too. IT happens with those Hellhounds all the time, their bodies need to be fixed so they can't body block you like they do. Because they're a bit more expanded than what their body shows.

No, it is lag and latency. Even if the ping thing is green your ping may be around 200+ which is not good ping causing lag and latency in the server and your client. It also has a lot to do with your connection speed and how reliable your connection is.

#1: Wiping in a group farm run after a long time with rude, immature and arrogant a-holes. If at least you're bearing them, might as well finish the thing. Add points if one of those so-said a-holes is responsible for your wipe.

#2: those Tyrian req9 items with one mod... no inherent.
