guild? I am supposed to have a guild?

Rt/

I agree on many points...the tomes, the r/q the hom blunder (and yes I do have more than one character working on it--there is nothing stopping you from doing more than one!), minipets, the fame spamming....

I will also add pve and pvp being in the same game---having to be 'attached' to each other. When things get changed in one they get changed in the other----NO NO NO NO NO!!!! I never picked this game up to pvp!

reused hats when they specifically said they would never do that!

I hate when I whisper someone in party search to buy some lockpicks or whatever they're selling, and they're AFK. They just blow off everyone who wants to buy from them and go afk. They don't take their party search message off, nor do they put themselves as "away" on the friends window.

I also don't like when I whisper a seller to buy something and he/she sends me some pre-typed generic message. I just find that rude. If they can't manually type "sure", do the transaction, then a simple "ty", I'd rather buy from someone else.

Also the particular gamers who have nothing to do with the creation and programming of Guild Wars, which is all the gamers, who for some reason decide what is legitimate and what is not in the game. Not everyone does this but some do. What I mean is that is that I was in a guild that was supposedly a title hunting guild. But basically the leader, or at least an officer, later said that everyone is supposed to do it themselves. He said that if someone can't vanquish with h/h, he/she didn't "earn it." As if he is the one to decide that. I'm sure the people who actually made the game would disagree. They made the game so any ideas of "earning" anything is up to them. They created the Ursan option so that makes it as legitimate as any other method, no matter how easy it makes the effort.

I was thinking I'd put what everyone else seems to be puting:

Bad Players...but,

The thing that is the biggest waste of Time, to me, is when you're skill capping and the new random elite takes priority over the original. So you get back to a town, and have to fix everything or create a template that adds the cap sig back in and puts your elite back on.

-_- I hope it's not just annoying me...

more Grind for titles

PvP skills the same as PvE skills

the players. basically. I gave up on PUGs long ago and I've never found a guild that I liked being in.

Proph and Factions not having inscrib weps. Proph being 10x better than Faction and NF.

Very few really rare goodies. Also, the almost dismal chances of getting the ONE I want without buying it from someone. for 100k +xx ecto.

A player with War primary can go out with another char on his accout and farm the hell out of something and eventually get the sword (example) that he's looking for. That sword WILL BE req.X Swordsmanship. I go out to farm Staff X and eventually get one, but the odds of it being Req.X Curses are? ? what?, 1 in 21!

This is one area where GW is FLAWED.

I hate the following things the most:

- Timed missions (e.g. Dunes)
- Anything that forces you to form a group (e.g. Across the Wall in Pre)

Hate is a harsh word but I really dislike ...

1. Titles - not my cup of tea but understand why they are there.
2. Henchman stealing my loot.

Not much I dislike but overall I've had a great time playing the game.

I really don't hate stuff in guild wars that much.. its just annoying so I just go on to my secondary game and headshot people with pistols/revolvers.

1.Crappy Skills, we as the players have little power to change Izzy's mind about skills.
2.Those damn whiners about how proph was the best and only core professions can play gvg.
3.Titles, I thought GW was anti-grind. Fame is different, you get a cool emote from it.
4.Getting stuck at random points and having to type /stuck a few times before I can get out.
5.How people are always looking for people with ranks in ha and gvg experience when a guild is recruiting. Most people in this game don't have that much gvg experience as it is.
6.Those people that call you noob for kicking their ass in ra/ta/ab.
7.Loot Scaling.
8.The crappy state of the gvg meta where in 3/4 teams you have your shock axe warrior.
9.How much I am gonna get flamed for ^
10.How you still can't go into an outpost without doing the primary/mission in factions.

Hate is a too strong a word for my feelings in this matter but I dislike...

-Grinding titles

-Ursan Blessing (only because I find it boring and finding non-UB groups in high end areas is very difficult)

-Players with no sense of good sportsmanship

-Rude or obnoxious players in general

-People who always want the easy way out.

-People who ask for advice or help but ignore the suggestions of more experienced players and generally act like they already know it all.

-Blaming every single little mistake on lag. Seriously lag is a pain but we all make mistakes.

inscription system - single worst thing that has happened to pve

character-based HoM - terrible joke and a Disappointment of the Year 2007

complete lack of any trading system, having to spend long long hours spamming WTS

1 skill "win pve" button that is Ursan -> just balance it (nerf)

poor armor reskins and lame reuses of the same dungeon maps in GW:EN, and marketing them all as new and unique

getting "A new build of Guild Wars is available..." after winning HoH for 40 fame... then getting to know it was a very very minor update - they shouldn't do them in hours of highest play intensity unless critical.


But I still love GW and can't find a better game overall

All of the things i hate about guild wars has to do with the people in it.. nad very little to do with the game itself alone.
1) its the people that rank discriminate
2) its the peole that scam
3)its the people that are rude
4)its the people that rage quit or sabatage your group
My only regret with guild wars that is not related to the playerbase is..
the nerf stick.

buy hey if you think guild wars is bad... you should see WoW. its even worse. And people actualy pay for it! suckers!

My top 5:

1. Ursan crap (no one wants this skill to be destroyed as much as i do)
2. Ego inflated players (oh look I have 25 titles and ohhh a pixel phoenix /rank)
3. Cookie cutter builds (there's so many skills ingame yet pugs keep running same old classic builds)
4. Anything including Racism.
5. Last but not least has to be those whiners begging for gold in towns.

Ursan teams. Not the skill, the people that use it. And collectively, the EotN reputation titles, and having to be R5 to get armor from each one.

I want a Highlander Woad for my necro. I'm rank 2 in the norn title track from doing the main quests and one or two side quests. I don't have Ursan Blessing.

Now when I sit in Olafsted looking for a norn point farm group, this is the common whisper exchange I have with team leaders.

Them: "wut bild u runngn?"
Me: "18DM Minion Master."
Them: "uhm ursan only plz!"
Me: "I'm rank 2."
Them: "k thts fine wer R5< team"
Me: "So you're telling me you want a Rank 2 Ursan player over an MM with 18-19 Death Magic who's minions would be doing more damage than 3 of your other Ursans?"
Them: <No reply, kicked from group/invite rejected>

Things I hate:

-Dealing with heroes if you have more than 2 PvE chars.
-Lag, I think they want us to leave GW for GW2, who knows.
-Finding people for your party, to do mission or quest.
-Assassins in PvP.
-Touchers (R/N)
-The trade system, is like you yelling at the crowd with lack of results. Why not setting up stores like Ragnarok or an Auction house like RF Online or World of Warcraft?

Other than that, Guild Wars is the best Online RPG I¡ve eber played

People that add you to their friend list a take you for their bi***.
People that beg for you to lower the price of the item you are selling.
People that takes this game too seriously

and 2 last thing to everyone reading this thread :
-It's R like requirement and not Q like QQ.
-Elite Tombs don't exist because no one is elite enough to dig one for you...

My pet peeve: People how whine about being scammed. There is a two stage process for a reason! Submit = show and check, accept = you've made sure the trade is fine and you're willing to go ahead with it. In theory, it's fool proof...

also:

NO Auction House. AT LEAST give us more than 15 characters (or w/e) in the party search window...
PvE only skills as a crutch for PvP crippling PvE
not enough love for FACTIONS

I hate Titles being treated as endgame content.

I hate that there is no auction house or viable trade system.

I hate that there is no greater character developement pass lvl 20.

I hate that there are reskins of weapons and armor.

I hate that there are only a couple of elite armor sets.

I hate that most obsidian armors look like crap.


There are probaly more, but i cant think of too many right now.

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:
I'm gonna leech of Mithran's post as he eloquently laid out many points I also agree with =] In addition, that npc bodyblock that occurs when you want to access your xunlai box is hawt, did you read me? HAWT!
