There were no rune traders?
There were no rare material traders and you had to buy them in stacks of 10 at normal traders?
There were attribute refund points?
When sup absorption runes were 80k?

GW has changed a lot in 3 years...

remember when FoW armor was so expensive (2+ mil per set) that you were considered an "ebayer" if you had it?

You tried to get ran to Droks to craft max armor, and when a droks run took more skill than it does now.

No, I started a few days after that update.

Quote:

Yea, I used to run a strange build where I would change attributes out in the wild to take advantage of a specific skill when facing bosses - there were quite a few I and the hench couldn't kill otherwise. I never really had an issue with them back then as I was used to running a single build in other MMO's but it was one of the best changes they ever did. I wouldn't still be here if we still had them.

Quote:

Sure, I recall 100k. You just must have not been in the market for one during that time period.

Quote:

It has and it hasn't - it is still GW yet many of the details of changed. From my point of view attribute refund points are the largest change yet most here never even played when they were around (yet try and tell me what GW was like in the early days). I'm old so please get off my lawn, I have to mow it and your young germs goof it up - heck I also recall Reagan getting elected and that is WAY older than even GW's first BWE.

Attribute refund points...man, those days sucked.

I remember thinking "well, I can't beat this area until I get enough experience to change my build". That was one of the worst ideas in GW.

Remember when there were no heroes and you did quests with pugs and/or henchmen (for better or worse)?

Remember when there was nobody who started threads like this to show that he was playing GW since beta and was looking for attention?

I cannot help it, but everytime I see one of those threads I see: Hey look, I am playing since 3 years and you new guys don't know anything about GW and how it used to be!

I play GW since 3 years too, but I like the way it got better week after week (if you exclude PvE-Version Skills, but I think Anet has the right to experiment with things after 3 years).

But yes, I remember, and I would love to see a retro weekend, or even a whole week. GW 1.0, just "for the lulz".
