* Little Thom -
he just cant resist aggroing every mofo'in char within the area shouting
"I'll kill every one a' yer! Twice!"

* The missions where you have to keep a certain npc alive and usually its Togo that dies coz he thinks hes a n ub3r tank spamming vengeful weapon

* Komir -
purely because shes in your party for the entire nightfall storyline, she doesn't do jack to help but she becomes an all mighty goddess

* inscriptions -
They made every single weapon worthless

* The stubbornness of pvp players who refuse to even consider changing a skill because its not on pvx wiki

* Pve skills -
Made it so even a retard with one arm can get 1000k a week *cough* Ursan *cough*

* The annoying thing where the game assumes your going to lose if you are the last person alive with little health, so it cant wait for you to die no no no, it just kills you to try and save time... Divine intervention people!

* when afflicted assassins use shadow form, its so fricking annoying having to wait 17 seconds to kill something that was going to die anyway and its usually the last thing alive from the mob

*Mark of Protection for the same reason

* "prestige Armor" this is one of the most annoying things about guild wars, its like when you go out and see loads of kids dressed exactly the same and not realizing the look complete dicks. The same applies to guild wars wiith chaos gloves, primeval armor - LMAO it looks so bad and nearl enough every warrior owns a set of primeval armor.

Heroes, cause of them ppl play less with real ppl and that makes it boring.

Grinding.

The constant change of Skills, right after when you find a nice build GW changes the key skill.

Xunlai Chest, need a lot more space.

Ursan, a lot ppl prefer having them in their teams but as I hate grinding I hate Ursan too.

1. to an extent - PUGs. I won't go into how many I've been in where people either don't listen or make very poor decisions during a quest or mission.

2. 25 heroes, why have them if you can't use them?

3. Norn Blessings - more and more people are relying on them instead of normal skills.

4. Elitist PVE and/or PVP players. My favorite has to be the PVPer that told me my build was crap because all I played was PVE and not PVP. That only a PVPer could come up with a great build. Then shot down his argument when I asked him if he played only PVE then he wouldn't be capable of creating a great build and he disagreed with me saying he would be able to. Can't Heroes Ascent for the same reason, not R3 or above. Or you don't have the cookie cutter build we need for Slavers Exile *kick*.

5. Henchmen missing from elite areas. Don't like pugs and most my guild members/friends don't have access to elite areas.

That's pretty much what I can think of at the moment.

You can use every single one of them, just 3 at a time. Let's not turn this into yet another dead horse beating of they should allow you to play with 7 heroes.

1.) Ursan - ruined elite PvE areas and PvE in general as now no thinking is needed, just click the Ursan icon and spam 123 till everything dies.

2.) Monks - In my experience i've found Monks to be the most bitchy players in a PUG. If one person dies they leave or resign and call everyone n00bs and seem to have a "i'm a Monk so automatically i'm better than you" attitude.

3.) PUG's - Usually full of stubborn players who refuse to listen to each other even when it means finishing the groups goal. Also tend to blame each other instead of themselves for their mistakes resulting in /rage quits.

4.) Elite Armour - No new or bonus stats and nearlly triple the price when compared to normal max armour. Epic fail, especially Chaos Gloves or Obsidian Armours.

5.) Green/"Unique" Items - Anet really need to sort these out as some have copied skins that aren't unique and some have just terrible stats. Not to mention you can spend weeks of you're life farming a boss to get a drop and the items just do not drop!

6.) GW Trade/Economy - It's horrible and needs sorting now! We need some form of auction house or trade values set up so people will stop over pricing their crap.

7.) Mini Pets - Pointless, worthless and overall useless. Get rid of them please.

8.) Events - Some new or different ones would be nice instead of the same old "double points for X title/faction this weekend" which we seem to get all the sodding time. How about double material drops? double gold? triple XP or something?

9.) Nerfs - Its a cliche and a topic done to death but Anet need to realise nerfing a skill because its imbalanced in PvP can have huge changes for its use in PvE. As a primary Ranger i can think of 4 or 5 bow skills that Anet effectively killed off in PvE because they felt said skills were imbalanced in PvP.

10.) Titles - Too many titles require pointless grinding and too many of the titles are character specific instead of account specific. How about making those EOTN titles account specific but only usable once a new character has finished EOTN? That seems a little fairer to me instead of grinding all 4 titles again and again and again for each character.

11.) Lag - Improve it please, seriously...i'm on a 10mb ADSL with a high end PC yet if i enter Scamadan USA Dis1 i feel like i'm playing on my old 1.6ghz PC that i owned 5 years ago.

12.) 600/Smite runners - They give Monks a bad name in general as many people just download the build from PvXwiki and do CoF runs. Yet they suck at it worse than a cheap hooker and then demand 2.5k at the end after taking nearlly 2 hours to reach Murakai having died around 20 times. In that time i could have H&H'ed it with my Ranger.

13.) Paragon haters - Burn in the Ring of Fire islands, please.

14.) PvP - At the present moment PvP could do with some new maps in all the arena's.

15.) Heroes - I own all the campaigns and have all the heroes unlocked, runed up (sup runes on them all!) and fully kitted out with items. Yet i'm only able to bring 3 of them with me at any one time, kind of annoying really especially when i've taken the time and effort to fully complete my heroes.

16.) "L33t"/Pro Players - Thanks for telling me my Monk hero builds suck yet you're going Ursan and using an E/Mo healer...

haha...you're funny.

there sure was a big hype over Utopia. The unannounced, unmentioned expansion. The only people making a big deal about it was us, because we found a URL and a few other lil' clues.

Big hype.

I'm sure.

I hate the stupid spiny motion when you ressurect.

I hate the fact that my 3rd person POV physically exists and will zoom in if I look over a rock/wall the wrong way, usually at the worst possible time.

PUGs who, in UW during Unwanted Guests, think it's gonna be good if they rush the last freaking Keeper while Vengefuls are close... then we get everyone in the group, rush the reaper which wipes the party. It's even worse when it's the last quest you have to do to finally finish a run that was already too long because of 2 dumbasses... while you didn't get crap for drops.

I'm bothered by the fact that no matter how many dungeons I run, quests I do, etc, I'm not really getting rewarded much. There's not much for me to do except repeat what I've already done...

I think the rewards for doing dungeons more than once should be raised. not a petty 100 points to a reputation. If you're rank 8+, that's of no use at all.

Yeah same here I still need more storage. What I need is a RESOURCES storage tab. I collect all resources from every chapter and save them. I usually always run into a situation where I need this or that and a collector has it if I have the resources. Same with other players I see lots of times advertising for certain resources from certain chapters.

Utopia, from the top of my head, was integrated into GW:EN. The Tarnished Coast is Utopia.

1. Can't sort hero list. I'm anal retentive about sorting things. Let me sort!!!!

2. People with bad hero builds. They don't post on these forums. They have no idea what the forums or the wiki are.

3. Togo and Mhenlo. No seriously, I HATE them. I want them to die, painfully. What's that? You need an escort? Really? You managed to get all the way out here just fine on your own, but now you need me to hold your hand. Bite me.

4. Terrible story writing and dialogue. I forgave Prophecies, it was your first attempt.
I had NO clue what you were trying to do in Factions. Sucked even worse than prophecies.
Nightfall just drug on and on and on and on and on and... well, you get the picture. I didn't care about any of the characters at all. I honestly had hoped Kormir would die... painfully. She was all sorts of useless. The only part of NF that I had fun with was getting to roll around as the sandworm.

5. Ursan. Thanks for ruining PvE and taking any thought process left in playing out. Roll face on numpad = win.

6. Having a MILLION skills to unlock and paying 1k per skill to get them on your main char (I know, tomes, but still...).

7. Tahlkora on aggressive (when I'm running my monks in smite mode). For some reason she'll lock onto a mob at the edge of the radar and wander off like a lost kid to go make friends with it. Do you see Dunk wandering off? I didn't think so. He's a good kid.

8. Not being able to see high res textures of other players in town. My pc can handle it! Give me the option!

9. Not being able to customize my UI more. I want to change the graphics of it all. I want to remove those ugly borders.

People who use "old school" to sell things
People who buy z keys for 4.5k then turn around and resell them for 5.5k
Hfffers with high ranks that don't know how to ab.
All ab maps. Would it kill anet to release a few new maps every once in awhile?
Lag spikes when farming
people who use dial up to play
Spamadan..Spamadan... Spamadan...!!! Auction house anet? Nah that would be to awesome.
Not being able to chose what fame emote or zaishen emote I want to use. Maybe I like just the gold spear and dont want the crappy hammer to drop to. Maybe I like bambi not wolfie. But whatever anet knows best.
Scammers and spammers( I find it really fun to whisper spam these people back, they love it!) Buying accounts 600k! whipers:go to hell. go to hell, go to hell etc.
beggars, lazy people, beggars, etc.
and people, can't stand people.

Brilliant idea, id make a separate thread to poll what others think of a resource tab. The only obstacle would be since there are probably over 3 times as many resources than there are materials, you would need at least 3 tabs.

- The amount of storage;
- Elitism;
- The idiots who can't follow simple instructions such as "don't move" (especially in UW SC runs);
- Questing;
- Lack of AFK selling;
- ... had more, but brain is failing right now. Must sleep >_>.

Guild Wars is a great game. It refuses to mold to the current WoW standard of MMO's. Wowhammer gets boring, Age of Slownan was an Epic Fail, and every thing else is just jaded by time. GW 2 will be Epic!

See, I love this exact thing. I won't be buying GW2 until I've verified that it maintains the same egalitarian policy.

There are 2 things I do really hate about GW: having to click on gold and items to pick them up, and the tiny storage. I have eight mules now. Eight!

2.elite armor=why does the pretty ones have to cost alot and the ugly ones cheap?

3.lag= i keep rubberband/lag freeze/lag spikes its a pain when i'm in cof or vanqing on my derv.

4.give us more room for trading items! its hard to type in what your selling in only a few short bits.

5.and that some titles arent account wise

I absolutley loathe the material traders. This is a system that needs changing...

When selling large quantities to the rare material trader a guy can go insane. If you have a whole stack of something rare to sell it requires 500 mind numbing mouse clicks. THAT IS INSANE!!!! I go crazy when I have to do this, esp if I have multiple stacks of rare materials to sell.

If someone has a faster way of doing this (save the "sell it in spamadan" pls) please let me know as I have been driven crazy about this since release.

Well just lost Survivor at 850k. Got on excited to finish today in about 2 hours and lagged out on the first run to log back in to /deaths = 1. Fail. That specifically, but in general I've had a ridiculous amount of lag this last month or so.

The things i want the chance to QQ and bitch about:

*EoTN Rep titles
*PvE only skills
*Assasins, and to a lesser extent dervs.
*The fact that 3 years after the release of the game there is still no organized trade system although it's the most desired addition to the game and everyone know it.
*The fact that if you play a monk in RA you will get another one in your team 90% of the time, and when playing an offensive character, chances are you won't, because all the poor monks already got teamed up with each other.
*The fact that blood spike is still around for some reason, with certain guilds crushing top teams with it and farming champ points but izzy seems to ignore this.
*Too many skills that are just utter crap and won't see play unless completely reworked to something else. (kinda like [Incendiary Arrows] change)
