Introduce a real-money 'item shop' where people can buy ingame gold as well as ridiculously over-powered items (that can all be used in PvP, naturally).

Randomly screw up drops rates, skill damage and anything else like that so those "OMG chests are rigged" guys will be right and any random team will win tourneys thanks to the warrior randomly hitting for 800 dmage and they other team "lagging" half way across the map.

Announce that GW2 is no longer coming, shutdown GW servers with no notice, shutdown all GW related forums. How much of an uproar would all that cause and no place to QQ about it?

Here is my idea:

A sink is added to each of the port cities:


Any player can interact with the sink and throw his gold/platinum into it.

A player gains nothing from throwing his cash into the sink except for ranks in the "GoldSink" title.
The title ranks:

1) "I have much free time" - 1000k wasted in sink
2) "I have way too much free time"- 10,000k wasted in sink.
3) "What do you mean there is an outside?" - 100,000k wasted in sink.
4) "Who are you calling CRAZY?!!11one1" - 1,000,000k wasted in sink.




And who can forget the emote that comes when this title is maxed:

Trap everyone in Cavalon and put 20 gold sellers in each district. 5 that spam all chat, 5 that spam trade chat, and 10 that whisper everyone, AND disable the ability to uncheck the chat channels so you have to read it! Unless your character name is "The Panserbjorne" in which case you become a demi-god and can slay any mob with a single glance! Oh and can leave town...cause that would suck to be stuck there.

Ursan
-Name changed to Bear Noises
-You no longer need to touch a foe to hit him
-Sound effects changed to better represent a loud bear
-Recharge and casting time for all skills have been set to 0.1

Economy
-Added a crafter that uncustomises weapons
-Players can now only enter 20,000 gold maximum into a trade session

Graphics
-Added a feature which allows characters to remove their underwear

+ This change may confuse many, but we assure you that we know what we're doing. We want all types of players to feel welcome. Though you may consider them young and perverted. Oh yeah and annoying. They ar... Wait, and they use eBay. Anyway they are just a... Oh yeah and they have no respect for you or anyon else... WELL ANYWAY, they are just as much of a person as you are... but seriously the other day one of them started talking politics and... nevermind... I'm so fired.

-The game is now completely cel shaded
-Faces have been changed to Anime
-Breast sizes increased by 2 meters in diameter.. I mean radius
-Dynamic advertising billboards added

Gameplay
-Run speed decreased considerably
-Attack speeds decreased by 25%
-All emotes removed except for dance, it now costs 3,000 gold to dance

+ After years of watching Guild Wars players, we decided the /dance was the only important emote. In addition we needed another gold sink.

-Mesmers, Rangers, Assasins, and Paragons have been removed

Marketing
-Collectors Edition Aura has been added to the ingame store
-All new releases will no longer display sexy women on the box, but we do plan on filling that space with shirtless men
-Guild Wars 2 has been canceled, we've decided to continue with the chapter system
-A monthly fee of 30 dollars is now required to play the game (Unless you go to this site untrustable website here and download the hacked version that popped up nearly instantly after we announced removable underwear. If you didn't know about this site, you musn't be a true modern day middleschooler! AND YOU SUCK!)

Remove all skills EXCEPT Ursan.

No particular reason, I don't use it. I'm just tired of people moaning about it.

Some of the changes suggested are actually kind of cool. And when the thread title is how would you f-up a game, first thoughts posters have are removing ursan. Something for you ursan haters to contemplate...

-------- anyway my suggestions:

- Random pop-up advertisements every other minute.
- Max number of players on outposts would be reduced to 30 to conserve bandwidth. When players attempted to enter outpost with 30 players, the game would give error message and you would be sent to queue.


--------
oh damn. I can't think of anything else. Those are about the only things that are work in the game. I was going to put arbitrary loot scaling and troubles to finding people to party with, but it's actual reality even now. It's hard to say how PvP arenas could be f-ed up when there's no incentive to play them even now.

I chose removing Ursan among mine, not because it would f-up the game, but because of the whining and moaning it would create. I actually think removing Ursan would be good for the game, among other things, so having the power to do what Anet would not in a fictional thread like this is irresistable.

Leave only the character creation screen, and a starting area that has nothing aside for other players, so players can all log in and QQ like they always do.

Here is my devious campaign:

Day One:

An array of 100% drop rate green weapons is added that can only be found in Pre-Searing. These items all have 9 req, max damage and max mods. They can only be obtained by lvl 20 characters who are a year or older. Weapons are limited to scythes, spears, daggers, ritualist wands/foci/staves and command/motivation shields. To make it fair for newer players, these items are all worth 1 gold.

Paragon males are switched to females upon logging in (though I'm not sure it would make much of a difference).

Zaishen Chests only drop Creme Brulee's (again, not much of a change).

Ursan Blessing now requires a $1.99 per minute service charge.

Day Two:

All female bust meshes are greatly reduced in scale.

Anyone who stays in Shing Jea Monastery for more than 10 minutes will instantly be teleported to lvl 5 of Frostmaw's Burrow. If EoTN is not detected, the player will be banned for 24 hours.

The Hard/Normal Mode buttons are grayed out when activated and vice-versa.

Day Three:

Anyone who deletes a female character will have their account suspended for 48 hours.

Instead of adding a healing bonus, Divine Favor now harms party members.

Any character named with two or more X's next to each other is not allowed to participate in PvP areas.

If EoTN is installed, upon login, the player will be sent to Ascalon City. If Prophecies is not installed, the player will be banned for 24 hours.

Day Four:

After at least 800 GW Guru threads (not posts) are created, female bust sizes are returned.

If Prophecies is installed, the player will be sent to Yohlon Haven. If Nightfall is not installed, the player will be banned for 24 hours.

All henchmen are removed from the game and heroes' levels are permanently set at lvl 1. Guild Halls and chat are also disabled.

A hair changer NPC is added to Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center, Kamadan and Gunnar's Hold. After using the service, the player is disconnected and the character is deleted.

Day Five:

Anyone who creates a female character will be permanently banned.

If Nightfall is installed, the player will be sent to Shing Jea Monastery. If Factions is not installed, the player will be sent to lvl 5 of Frostmaw's Burrow.

Day Six:

Ursan Blessing is removed from the game. A large amount of the GW community rejoices! Perhaps this is a sign of good things to come!












Day Seven:

Arena.net and NCSoft are sold to EA Games.

the computer randomly draws misleading directions during missions + quests in PUGs so you end up walking into huge mobs + you don't get anywhere. If you try to go in any other direction, the game automatically makes you + your team run into a wall with no hope of getting unstuck. Then Brother Mhenlo arrives in a bananna suit and starts doing the song and dance of 'It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!!' Brother Mhenlo then puts mending and healing breeze on you

Why not give everyone base defence in every alliance battle? Heck why stop there, lets give them celestial skills too, and kurzick/luxon ones regardless of their profession...this would be mandatory of course.

But its ok because with the universal 10 mil faction reward from playing, people wouldn't stay around for too long :P

Wow, I should work for Anet.
