Make all armor crafted by forgemaster have the skin of beginner armor for one day. (not all current FoWs look like that, but anyone that buys FoW for one day gets a set of ascalon armor).

For Coffers of Whispers: reduce all current percentages by half, and add a 50% chance to get 1 pile of glittering dust.

Switch the icons of Salvage and ID kits.

Stick the Guild Lord in random places on the map for GvGs.

Whenever a team resigns, spawn a max, q7, 15^50 gold crystalline on each of their corpses.

Change player's names at random

Make all PvE-only skills PvP only, removikng the cap on 3 of em. Make all the other skillls PvE only.

Champ points for wins in Jade Quarry.

make an outpost called Xunlai Marketplace randomly appear in the battle isles, but every time anyone tries to go in, it says "district is full blablabla"

I would add 200 levels and AA's so leveling would always be there as a goal. I would also add unlimited equipment stats of various kinds and then introduce NO DROP/NO TRADE to the very best ones so people would have to EARN them not farm/buy them. I would allow KSing and Kill Stealing because that really gets people hot in a hurry in some of the older mmorpgs. I would make all areas and mission have random mobs and drops not the same thing over n over so people can't farm them, the sword of everslaying might drop in this zone today, but, waaaaayyy over in another zone tomorrow, but, would always be in a mob that it would take a guild of 25 to kill if they are lucky. I also would create Traveling Bosses with their guard mobs that would travel randomly around the persistant world and attack weak groups or newbies and stomp them in the dirt. haha

Others:

When you log into Guild Wars your game automatically goes into "Ultimate Survivor" mode. If you die even once with any character your whole account is deleted. Also all your characters are wielding a vampiric weapon that cannot be taken off, and it effects you in towns.

Make pvp hardcore, if you die once, you lose your character forever. With no exit option, if you join pvp you must stay til the end.

Remove 90% of the skins in the game.

Remove all titles.

Dying in pve results in massive XP loss, Which does not stop at zero xp for a level, meaning you can lose levels.

Remove elite areas.

Remove random drop chances.

Remove henchmen.

Change skill bar to allow 10 skills total, 2 elites (1 per profession)

Place a damage cap on all skills so all classes did the same damage, Fire mages and warriors would be the same.

Raise the damage of weapons, raise the defense of armor.

Set merchants to buy each item for a set price, never changing. Items would be worth more at merchant.

Remove unique items from the game.

Have an auto log off timer, After 60 minutes guildwars shuts down for 23 hours with no way to bypass this function.

Have in game moderators who bans people.

Spam blocker, anyone spamming loses their ability to chat in ANY chat log for 24 hours, Including whispers.

Remove elite armor.

Remove HoM.

Idle Booter, Anyone sitting idle for 10 minutes gets booted from the game and can not log back in for 24 hours.

Remove inscriptions and consumables.

Lower prices of chest keys.

Remove platinum, (only gold would be left.)

Remove the monk, Ritualist, Paragon Professions from the game.

Auto disban timer, if atleast 60% of a guild is not active daily, the guild is disbanned, the guildname is banned from being used again and the players can never again be in a guild.

I think that would effectivly F up the game for everyone.

and change all the music to numa numa

and then roll back the servers all the way back to factions.

But remove all prophecy skills.

Then give everyone pink armor, except for the women characters who have all been deleted because girls don't play games anyways so they were a waste of data.

then make the weekend event loose all items.
Whenever you kill a monster you lose an item from your inventory.

And make every monster except for the ones at shin je monestary have 9000 hp and attack for 2000 damage nearby aoe that enchant strips on each attack (before damage is factored) and remove weapon spells including all the monsters in pre-searing.

Oh and delete the monk and warrior profession

Do I win?

I would also make spells and attacks usable in towns, so you can kill each other in towns.

maybe not all these at once.. but it would be fun to toggle it.. like the random weekend events


-Each time you flashed an emote.. you would lose 50k.. if you dont have 50k to lose, you lose rank
-ectos drop by all mobs, in all areas.. including pre! 90% drop rate. say bye bye to all the "so-called" rich players in the game
-Everyone gets a mini panda, kanaxai, visu, etc etc.. but if you click on any of them, you delete your acct.. they cannot be traded.. nor moved from your inventory
- your storage only holds 50k. your toons can only hold 10k. Cannot hold stacks of anything.. inventory is limited to 4 items
-When you log into Random arenas.. you only get rez sigs and 1 skill of your choice.. this might teach everyone a lesson
-if you are above rank 3 you cannot enter any pvp
-in all pvp matches.. you are given random skills.. if you leave the match before its done.. you get an automatic 72 hour ban
-the use of the word noob (newb or any other variation) results in your account being cleaned. you start out with no chars, no money, and no skills.

Ursan Rage knocks all creatures in the area. You and all affected creatures suffer Cracked Armour, Deep Wound, and Weakness for 20 seconds. Affected creatures gain half health for 20 seconds from all sources except monster healing skills. Monk skills have a 60% to fail removing conditions for 20 seconds.

Giving monsters Ursan equivalent to rank 15 in the Norn title. Then when all the whiners start to complain about it being overpowered, A.net nerfs Ursan rather then remove the monsters that use Ursan.

Buff Ursan to do triple damage and need no rank and make ectos customised on pick-up. Also force everyone to use Ursan. Then they'd have a REAL reason to whine about it.

I would delete PvE, and then erase every account that doesn't have a PvP title (of any kind).

I would then delete all classes and skills added after Prophecies.

Then, I would delete every account that contains a R/D with Escape as the elite, or a trapper, or a N/Rt.

Link game accounts to forum accounts, and every time someone QQ's a platinum piece is deducted from their account. If you have no plat on you're account, an item is removed instead, starting with the highest priced item you have. If that item is in a stack, the entire stack is removed.


Pvp would also be limited to three skills, and elite skills would be banned from being used. Only non max weapons and armor would be allowed.

Eventually, GW will be unplayable and I will laugh at the QQers who are only that way because they QQed in the first place.

Make secret Kill Switch skill combinations so if you put for example Firestorm on a Ranger or Mending on a Warrior your character is deleted the second you enter an instance.

Dervishes with black armour and any connotation of Death/Reaper in their name get deleted.

All monks with black FoW matched with Chaos gloves and scarfs/ninja masks have their armour changed to Pink Tutu's

Move Ursan to a PVP only skill

Limit classes in PVP to 1 each per team

Remove PS

Make every drop customised
