I could name plenty, but I'll settle with three I'll just randomly pick to share:

- Only want to run. I've been seeing more and more people lately not really wanting to do a mission or quest on their own. Worse... they complain that they're bored halfway through the game and wonder why ANet doesn't bother making the game harder.

- When someone says the poverty line is 500k... to say if you have 500k or less gold in storage, you're poor and somehow noobish. I throw that one into the "I'm a jerk and I set out to make your day horrible" type of situation.

- Ignoring the trade channel and GO RED ENGINE spam the local chat of WTS quite often. I can also throw in guild advertisers and runners into this category of disappointment.

Concise version: People who think they're better than you.

People running builds that have been proven to work by people far better at GW than you is disappointing to you?

The most disappointing thing in GW, to me, is its whiny userbase with the giant entitlement complex.

Instead of using up all that unused map space on the Tyrian map when they made GWEN, they "Doubled" the size of Tyria and then filled a pitifully small amount of the new map.

The fact that they had to implement imbalanced PvE skills to make the high level end-game content of Nightfall accessible to everyone. Surely that should tell ANet something?
I hate having to grind ranks in pointless titles to make my character viable for groups when in the past, ANet somehow managed to balance end-game content so that it was possible with vanilla GW skills.

And that's part of my third disappointment:
The fact that a game that was originally and successfully promoted on the absence of grind has now turned in to little more than grind.

Yep. That is it. All their not really so cool new additions to gameplay and stuff to keep players interested are based around boring grind.

Instead of better game design, we got Ursan Blessing. Doh.

The direction that A-net took this game, it went from unique, interesting and potenially brillant competative game, to just another nothing great MMO.

No longer being able to do non-ursan runs unless organised with a forum or guild. There are now no elite missions except for Deep which is going the ursan route. And people responding with, why do it the old way, ursan is quicker.

I got a perfect scythe with a new skin on the first day of the GWEN preview and promptly salvaged it for crafting materials instead of the highly salvageable crap axe in the slot right next to it.

People who think heroes are stupid and that PvX builds suck. These are generally the same people running mending wammos and waving FDSes around, are also male, technically too young to be playing the game, and who think that guys who play female characters are 'faggots', who blame the monk for not keeping the party alive when about the entire map's worth of enemies get aggroed, etc.

Oh, and people who blame everyone else for their death because they can't accept the remote possibility that they need to improve, I'm sure you know the type, the ones who are too busy hammering in "Noob" and "Tard" with caps lock on to do anything useful in the game

ah a 2nd post but what someone said reminded me of it

the cap locks key

ANet should implement something that whenever anything is pertaining at all to their products/company/etc, cap locks (or shit hold) is a copywrited enterprise and is therefore not allowed. hell, i'd pay monthly for that :P

And most importantly:
PvX builds *ever heard of trial and error with builds people?*
Dont you realize that Ursan is even more mind dumbing and retarded than PvX builds??? At least with PvX builds you have to look up the builds...Ursan requires LESS skill to use then most of the PvX builds. Dont whine about PvX when you wine about ursan not havina self heal.

Im assuming you dont like balanced groups cause you like playing gimmics or exploiting things. And Ursan groups are pretty much group with a fixed build... which you stated you hate.

Your post is full of fail.

Back on topic.

Guild/Alliance roster window... I want to see my alliance members

Whiners about skill updates. (agreed some are bad and cause overpowered combos or nerf something a little too harshly, but some people just whine about every damn thing.)

The sense of entitlement 90% of the GW community has.

Ursan, heroes, the death of PUGs and player groups in general, PUG or no. Turned the game into an elaborate chat system in town, playing with only AI in instances or in brainless Ursan groups. Great, for some people, but not me.

Want a reply less controversial? The loss of a potential Survivor then. Pretty much nothing in the gameplay is as disappointing as that.

Most disappointing thing about GW for me is only being able to use 3 of my 25 heroes if I'm solo..two of which are almost always monks because the henchies suck ass.

I'm bitter this morning. Need more sugar in my java. Seriously though, asking an opinion about GW with the words "disappointing" in the topic is going to raise Ursan from some people, even when they are being objective and not QQ-ing at all. Just their opinion, and I happen to share it.

I still think losing Survivor ranks as king among the most disappointing things that can happen during play though.

two things really..otherwise i love the game.

1) Titles and EotN put a huge focus on playing with one character and that one only.

2) Anet destroying most of the worthwhile farms, so now the only farms worth it people probably don't share anymore for fear of being nerfed..and I don't blame them to be honest..

I'd like to add another thing, that is this odd sense i get that once GW2 comes out all this stuff in GW is kind of pointless. Sure, there's HoM, but the selection of things that can go in is fairly limited, ie only destroyer weapons allowed (of which, imo, the bows are fugly, so I don't want one, but my ranger is my main where most of my HoM stuff is). I just hope rewards will be substantial.

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

For me, I would say it would be accidentally merching a Tormented weapon instead of the q13 18% while under 50% gold Long Sword you just got as a drop.

What do you say?
Lie more please? You CANT sell a tormented weapon. It wont let you even click on it, no matter what mods or anything thats on it.

Go sit undrneath another bride plz.

Sitting under a bride sounds like fun to be honest. As long as nobody is looking. Oh and yea no tormented weapon can be merched why bother making such a post? >_>

Just because you cant use a real build to farm DoA or what have ya...Then again you just want easy cash i suppose so dont blame you for using it but it's old now....

Saying that PvX involves no skill is stupid. Writing a build is only a basic step. Using it is where skill comes in. Insisting that people try to write a unique build is like insisting that they also write up a completely new programming language for their program instead of using an existing one.
