I remember when you couldn't flag your henchies... and they would become a quick snack when aggro'ing a group.

OK, it probably never was, but dual ranger pressure was about as balanced as it got.

I remember...getting pwned by two mobs with Dolyak Riders over and over again...in Iron Horse Mines.
A retro GW weekend - that would totally rock, just for larfs. I know it probably won't happen because of all the work/reverse programming it would take.

but... yea... remember when sorrows furnace was first implemented and dragos sundering was 100k+?
sorrow's furnace is a joke now, easy place with easy enemies (due to heroes, flagging, and numerous other reasons)
i miss being a noob, the game was so much funner when you couldn't steam roll right through everything as if it were a childs playground.

Ugh, you had to play and gain experience to change attribute points. Wasn't it like 250xp per point or something like that? It's been awhile.
Superior Abs at 90k. Ha.

can you (or anyone for that matter) give me a rough estimate of how many months ago it was? ~LeNa~
Bahumhat
I remember when there was no skill points. i think they were skill sigils, and they dropped of mobs. You then had to take them a NPC that collected them or something.
I dunno, that system wasn't around long... My memory is a little fuzzy and I didn't really get enough time to learn how that system worked.
BTW: This was beta testing

Remember when the only farming were: FoW, UW, Sorrow's Furnance and Tombs of Primeval kings.....with a stance tank with [gladiator's defense] as elite??? And the keg trick in Furnance?? Then it got nerfed lols......
Remember when Droks running was an elite for few ppl which really had a good equipment.

When capping an Elite you had to wait til the boss actually used it.

alright this has to be one of the best updates: remember when chests didnt need keys? and then they were in same place and dropped crap
Chests and Loot
The landscape of Tyria is now dotted with new, randomly positioned locked chests, which are guaranteed to contain uncommon or better items. These chests largely replace the old system of unlocked chests with predictable positions and common loot.
Whenever your party finds a new, locked chest, multiple party members can each use their own keys to unlock the chest and get their own loot.
Monsters randomly drop chest keys, and you can also buy chest keys from Merchants.
Added Superior Salvage Kits and Superior Identification Kits, which are the same as Expert Salvage Kits and Identification Kits except with 100 charges instead of 25.
Improved the quality of most Crafter and Collector Weapons.

I was around for the refund points days, not sure if they were the elite-capping difficulty days aswell as I was far too n00bie to be capping elites.
Can someone just put something to rest in my brain, was there ever a bar which showed your adrenaline buildup? My brain keeps telling me there was, but no-one seems to remember it. So I'm guessing there wasnt.

IWAY, Ranger Spike, Smiters, trappers, and N/Mos + Spirit Spammer. I remember all of that. Rank eventually meant nothing thanks to IWAY. Also I remember the attribute points thing, that sucked.
I also remember laughing really hard at how much of a joke Crude Swing was.
Also back then you could actually brag about completing Thunderhead Keep with henchies.

Rexion
I remember when ANet did this one update that was anti-55 monk and all of them, plus other farming builds, refused to log off the server. ANet had to shut down the servers for a bit just to force them off.
I'm pretty sure it was the introduction of Loot Scaling.
