first off, I am not trying trying to flame guildwars, anet, playNC, any players, etc.

I dunno if there is already a thread like this, if there is please tell me.

is there anything in guildwars that you really hate?

I hate the fact that if i click on an enemy behind another enemy, and the first one gets in my way, then my character stops moving and wont attack the one I selected even if it gets close.

I also hate the fact that most armor and weapons have the exact same stats and that you "pay for pretty" instead of stats.

Grinding, titles with game effect, pve skills, sucky people, limit on heroes, too many titles, the laggy netcode with WASD movement, lack of pvp updates (like maps, modes, fixing bad skills)

Regrets.

I stay in GW because it was the game with less regrets I've ever seen.

If you lose a quest. You can retry later.
If you choose a Faction, you can make the other alter.
If you choose a secondary, you can change it later.
If you set a build, you can change it later.

What are the things that I don't like?
The things that add regrets to the game:

* Not being able to freely enter again some areas after leaving them:
** pre-Searing
** Low-level arenas arenas.
** Island of Shehkah
** Monastery Overlook
** Nightfallen garden.
* Titles that cannot be retried.
**LdoA
**Survivor
* The 'punishment' related to play with one character instead another when it comes ti grind titles. Having to focus in a single character to increase titles:

Yeah, I hate the body blocking/stop attacking thing too.

1. scammers
2. "please gimme 2k for my armor" beggars
3. the little kiddies that think the game is too hard and want you to run them thru everything.
4. scammers
5. Elitist snobs. "Whaaa!!! You're only R8 Ursan!! I SAID R10 ONLY!!! <KICK>
6. Little kiddies that ask for advice on their build. When you tell them that Healing Breeze and Mending are bad and replace with Lion's Comfort they call you a noob and say those skills are awesome!!!! If you don't want advice, don't ask.
7. scammers.

The fact that you need to have all the expansions/campaigns to be somewhat good in PvP
(skills should really be released for all campaigns ._.)

I don't really hate anything about GW.

However these things annoy me:

Occasional lag.

Lack of a real quest log.

Only one expansion.

Whiners, spammers, & scammers.

That's all for now.

Things I hate:
-Hard mode (and to be forced to do it to max GW:EN PvE titles)
-That Wisdom title need to be at max to be added to HoM (while lucky only requires r2)
-That only Destroyer weapons can be added to HoM
-that there aren't an alliance roster (just like guild roster)

else I'm pretty good with the current state of GW

Not being able to get that darn chest because someone took the griffins along

Probably a lot more stuff... and it's not really hate, it's more getting irritated about.
I'm not totally against the grinding though... since I've been a grinder for 2 years before I started playing GW

If you don’t have 1,894,362 ecto’s you cant buy any really nice rare gold weapon or a mini!

Also if you don’t have a guild to help you with certain area's like UW or FOW good luck finding a good group, especially if you are not a R10 with consumables!

I hate when people call others noob's rather then helping, everyone was once a noob!

I like Heroes, but every since they were introduced - no one plays together anymore!! (at least none of the decent+ players)

People critiquing each other's skill bars - if you have the creative forethought to create your own bar instead of following whatever else is doing, you MUST be idiot, right? (PAH!)

Lack of a desire of players to group anymore.
Storage, or lack thereof (multiple sets of armor, anyone?).

Other minor things. Wont comment on the community though, as the range of the good and the bad I see in GW is more or less the same as the range in other online games in my experience.

Scammers.. although its not technically a GW thing. just an idiot thijng... same with players who think then know how to draw accurate reproductive organs adn wan tto practice it within 2 secs of playing the game for all to be interrested in. (I just tell them that I play on a 7" screen and it is probably an acurate scale for them )

The storage thingy is irritating indeed... But even with a lot more storage, people would still think they don't have enough room.
Still, it's a pain... all those collectables for events, all those cons, all those weapon and armor sets, etc.

People who use the word "elitest" to excuse them for being bad.
GW fanboys
Spammers
Poor people who whine about being poor on Guru instead of trying to earn cash ingame(you know who you are)
Bad dye jobs
People who use bad builds because they think they're above using a cookie cutter build.
Dupers (GG on RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing everything up, RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOs)

Only dislikes. It's a computer game, you shouldn't hate it.

I like GW a lot but my least favorite thing is the constant bombard of nerfs and buffs to skills. Either the development team needs to do a better job of coming up with skills at the get go or they just need to leave them how they are. So, people come up with an exploit. Changes are made and people still come up with exploits. I just think development could be spending their time on other things rather than catering to the majority of whiners that are mad because they think a particular build is unfair. If you think it is unfair use the build or skill yourself but don't punish everyone because you don't think it is fair. Life isn't fair so why should a game be fair? I just think many people how been punished for coming up with creative ways to play the game either to play or to farm. The last time I looked all parts of the game are available to ALL with a little time and effort.

-Senseless unhuman Grind of Pay to Get-Titles and their general senseless point of being character based or giving players unfair personal advantages over others (wisdom,treasure hunter/lucky), last is at least acc based, so should do the other 2 too

- Limited uber rare Minipets, no one of them should be limited, all should have some source, so that new undedicated ones can find every now and then their way to the game to balance the loss of those, that got dedicated by people...

- Gettign forced as PvE'er to play PvP to get Hero Emotes

-that Anet did become over time more and more LAZY and seems to care lesser and lesser for GW1 and what for crap they did added all to the game being totally thought out bad, without giving the community a chance to discuss over it first and to give the devs some suggestions, that they should overthink first, before they add new features, like Heroes

- the Devs, for using only like 30% of the potential the game has, only lookign at the World Map makes me sick, especially for the tyria one,, which looks totaly fugly with these dumb black lines at its sides and being more zoomed out, than the other maps, instead of giving us a real world map, that shows us direct all 3 continents, when we have all 3 campaigns unlocked and only the 3 single maps, if we have only a certain campaign ....
When I see, how much places on the world map are unused and unexplorable, i could go mad XD A game needs NO filler and should have NEVER fillers, thats as same as annoying, as if you look an anime and you have to see one and the same stuff several times over and over again, because the drawer used some thigns as fillers cause of having no inspiration anymore to draw new things. The same it should be with games, if i give a player a world to explore, than it should be realy 100% explorable, everythign else is just only dissapointign and pisses people off. our cartographer titles are a joke...lol 100% explored, when we really have then only explored of the continent like 70% or so and in general of the world is used then only 40% and 60 % were just unexplorable filler -.-

- Wannabe Professions, and crappy lore around them. to say it direct: Nightfall,Guild Wars readlly is the only mmo I know, which made it to become from part to part gameplay wise only worser, than better.
Dervishs and Paragon are totally crap conceptwise, just only Wannabe Gods and Wananbe angelic Bards in Warrior Armor with a Weapon, that belongs better to a Hunter. Also the crap concept around the Sun Spears and Kormir becoming a god for doing nothing, that blind b*tch -.-
Dervishs would have been alot better concepted being GW's unique Dancer Profession mixed together with Martial Arts and the paragon beign renamed as Hunter would have been concepted like one also alot better.
Should Dervishs have shapeshift skill,s it would have been better to let them transform either into animal avatars, or half demons, but not into god avatars -.-

- factions for being absolutely too short and its faction system being absolutely thought out not very well. game should have gotten more factions, than only Luxons and Kurzicks - this meaning also the game should have alot more competitive missions, lik Fort Aspenwood and the jade Quarry, those 2 alone re way too less and get way too quick boring. we see it with jade Quarry, crap mission, 95% of the community plays only fort aspenwood >.> gg anet doh!

- unexplorable mission areas in prophecies, there you are forced to play ever the missions, when you want to explore specific areas -.-

- anets lack of sense for pve gameplay balance and their cheap tries to fix it with ursans blessign and consumables. However, i like UB, because it did reduce for me the insane grind of the game, and brought a solution to the problem of class discrimination, but thats all, those things should be solved better by an other way, than overpowered skills and items, which can make a party that plays good together to "godmode" even in HM

- the games broken economy due to anets lack of correct fixing the duped armbaces issue by deleting ASAP all armbraces of the game and giving then only armbraces to people back, that could show per screen to the support, that they had the armbraces also at a time, where the armbraces didn't got duped, sure not the best solution, but imo still better, than banning only a handful of people and having still hundreds over thousands of dupers out there, which didn't got banned havign ther duped stuff still in the game.

or temporarely removing tormented gems as drops, until the economy gets normal again and then letting gems again drop....


- r10-13 crap drops in high end elite areas and that in general drops in those areas white shit. the normal drop in high end areas should be either ahuge amount of gold (not only 105g or so, but 1-2 Platin so that all players get from it 100-200g, when gold coins drop) , somethign purple or gold and wen items drop, they should be all r9 (95%) and lesser (r8 4%) (r7 1%)

- GW in general being alot too unrewarding. Vanguishign should have alot better rewards and especially somethign really good for people, hwich vanguished all areas of a campaign, that motivates people to vanguish all areas, other then only silly experience points, no one needs really, once beign level 20 and consums are too much grind, because their usage makes you only in 99% poorer, than richer. eotn consums cost simple too much for the casual gamer over long time. gold rewards of vanguishign are way too cheap.
godl rewards of quests are laughable, people have even no intention to quest anymore, because of no skill rewards or no item rewards, like in prophecies.
in 99% of the case you get in quests of gw only exp, some less points for titles or a little amount of gold, that is with cheap 1 buy direct used up....

- no auction house ingame, no mail system, crappy chat and players beingunable to create private chats >.<

the list is endless ...

There really isn’t anything that I hate about GW, if there was I wouldn’t play it. There are a couple of things that I don’t particularly like though.

I see the Hall of Monuments as a big flawed money pit. The Scrying Pool shows you the real final vision … all your gold and time swirling down into the depths of somewhere. Get nice expensive armor and then see how ugly it can look when you display it.

Inadequate storage for things required by special event collectors. Then you need more storage for the items you traded for. And then there’s the storage you need for armor and weapons and runes and insignia, inscriptions, lock picks, commendations, trade contracts, dyes, blah … blah … blah.

Buy more slots … at least that’s what I see when I sign on.

Flawed missions in all campaigns. I spent the weekend getting my Warrior through the Crystal Desert. Getting from Point A to Point B in any part of that area is not fun, it’s just nuts. Pretty though.
