Your feel good moments in Guild Wars?
Thizzle
I have three.. My first is always that feeling of finishing a campaign, my second is hitting 1,000,000xp on my Dervish, and my final was getting banned. I chose the third because I was ready to leave anyway and could never quite leave the game alone when I said I would, so I'm in a way glad I was banned.

In TA, my entire team is wiped, res used, 3 against 1. I, as the one Dervish, win. Freaking amazing feeling.

My best moment was completing my Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer title.
Squishy ftw
Hitting a bulls, followed with a timed shock and either disabling a key skill with dchop or killing that squishy.
Always makes me smile.

Hitting a caster with Power Block in RA and watching them stand there not knowing what to do.
Being 1 of the first 3 people into Deldrimor war camp.
When GW first came out there weren't many monks. And there were even less good monks. I was in Elona reach to help a guild member when someone was like "OMFG IT'S HERA DIVINE1!1!!! AWESOME MONK!11! CAN'T LOSE NOW!11!!" so i helped my guild member and this dude (who had played withv me before plus 3 randoms beat the mission. After that i got a few calls to help on missions from them.
BEST feeling ever though was when i first got to Aurora Glade. Must have tried it about 10 times but we always failed. people leaving, crashing, dying, not listening blah.
Well i was in this one group and we got quite near the end when all of a sudden 3 of them just left. It ended up me as a ranger, an ele and a monk. well we beat the mission. Oh yes. i ran those crystals back and forth until we got it.
Stama reborn was the ele. We couldn't BELIEVE we'd done it. I was like "SCREW YOU QUITTERS"
p.s HELLO NICK OF TROY I SEE YOU!

Sitting AFK with your Aatxe out, only to come back 30 mins later to a group of 5! I thought i'd had him fixed!

Seeing those little clouds disappear as I constantly grind my face into a wall. That's all over with (for now) but it was surprisingly satisfying, even with Texmod.
Also, getting through a bad dungeon or mission run. I may be screwing up my aggro awfully, but henchmen don't mind!

-Finishing a campaign for the first time
--Finishing it again
-Black dye drops
-Weapon drops that have fantastic stats/mods (I'm lazy and I rarely buy weapons; I prefer to scavenge off the ground)
-Finishing a mission that's been horribly difficult the first few times
-Amazing scenery blows my mind and makes me just want to stand around admiring and go "how'd you come up with that, devs?"

dshot'ing a dshot or diverting a diversion has to top my list in pvp.
finding something new in pve is also quite enjoyable.

I helped a Newbie do the Villany of Galrath quest from LA and instead of complaining when I made a wrong turn, he/she LOL'd and we pressed on. When we got into Kessex peak, we got into a huge battle with the trees and the cows and some aloes. The Newbie died, and after clearing out the mess and rezzing him/her all he had to say was "That was FUN!" Haven't had that much FUN playing with a stranger in a long, long time!

the most fun i ever had, was when i gave APSOLUTELY everything i had away.....try it sometime, its awsome

- Getting 100k for my Galigord Stone Staff last week.
- Clearing FoW multiple times with complete random pugs. Non-ursan too. Including one group that was AS FAST AS Ursan, but instead of wammoa bears, we had 5 SF Elementalists. Should call it Ebon Vanguard Assassin Supportway because those were our only tanks.
- Clearing UW with an Ursan group (Yes, I use Ursan and yet I bash it to hell. It's fun 10% of the time, boring the other 90%)
- Getting my first 100K solely by saving money and selling white/blue/purple/gold drops. Didn't have a clue WTF farming was or how it was done at the time.
- Creating my first PvE guild.
- Maxing out storage and on all characters across multiple accounts.
- Saving up 250 Obsidian Shards via its drops in FoW.
- Creating multiple characters.
- Helping the new players and inexperienced.
- Knowing that I am better than many in the population of Guild Wars for PvE.
- Laughing at noobs who fail at PvE stuff, whether it's a mission or places like FoW or UW.
- Getting 2 Fame in a complete random group of E-Spike.
- Going against the norm (HB, WoH, SS etc etc) as many times as I could and proving to the noobs that it is Skill that makes the player, not the skills on the bar.
- Basically anything that boosts the GW ego in knowing I pwn such and such noob in PvE. Lol.

My usual feel good moments:
Winning against HA and GvG guilds with random byob crap.
Winning against teams in RA/TA and being called a noob blindbot. Thx for the glad points bitties!
Selling 100 ectos for 4.5-5k before they dropped.
Every time I buy a new expensive weapon/shield/armor.
Every time I play with guildies.

I got fuzzy the first time I ascended my first character in 2005. I got the same fuzzy feeling three years later when I found a q9 elemental sword while playing with said character.

Hosting and organizing the community events I have done in the past. Very rewarding despite the time cost and incredible management they require.
Hearing the cheers and thanks of most of the community for said events.
Achieving goals in the game I set for myself, no matter how long it took.
Getting FoW for the characters I wanted it for, and working to get every set (and by work, I mean not buying gold for them)
Giving my heart and soul to the Guild Wars community without the desire for repayment or acknowledgment, but getting it anyways 100x over in the kindness of a few select people and sometimes in the rare glimpse of kindness this community can have.
Making two lifelong friends over a game and connecting with many others on a level I didn't think was possible through a game.
That about sums it up.

I felt great when I ....
1. Got to level 20 for the first time. Capped my first skill to get enough experience (I think it was Battle Rage....:P)
2. After finishing my first 15k set of armor (Male Warrior Dragon Armor dyed silver with Primeval head piece dyed silver/black)
3. Beat Factions and NF for the first times. Prophecies, not so much as there was no "end" per se, until a couple months ago.
4. Realized I wasn't a huge n00b (now I am just poor and pitiful).
5. Did Urgoz HM in 26 minutes (yeah, we used PvE skills, but it was such a blast to do something that used to take 3 hours in half a hour). Doing runs with my guild also falls into that. Those runs basically keep me playing.

Making it to Lion's Arch during the February Beta Weekend Event.
Getting my first max req 9 gold bow...only cost 10k.
Finishing Thunderhead Keep on the second try.
Being able to afford my first set of "elite" armor...Grotto Druid's (and then wondering why it took SO much wood to make a bikini...dwarven pervert).
My first ecto drop, which I merched in ignorace...that's how I found out what they were REALLY worth...did the same with black dye 1g.
Capping my first spider.
My first Icy Dragon Sword drop.
Capping Barrage the "hard way".
Beating my first Doppleganger the first time we met.
Finishing infusion runs for my first set of armor (back when each piece was infused seperatley)...Also, being the only one to survive and make it to the Seer in a near party-wipe...twice!
Getting my first b-day present (first of 4 temple guardians).
The last time I looked at my friends list and saw 10+ people I know still playing the game.
Except for the mini-pet...ALL of it was 2005...*sigh*...I miss the good ol' days.
And, of course, the PM from Gaile Gray telling me my Frog Scepter was finally in-game...46 runs later, I got one! While I raised to Deldrimor rank 7 doing it and felt great getting a req 9...I have learned to hate Bogroot Growths.

Going through a scenic area. It's always great appreciating just how much effort they put into making this game look just so darn pretty.

Getting my first 15k set.................I have FoW and bunch of Rare weapons, but nothing beats getting my first 15k set.
I got the money when i was still a noob, I would farm with Henchies didn't know about Faming builds.

Finally finishing THK. This was a long time ago, before heroes, before NF i believe.
I'd been trying to do it all evening with some friends, and after they'd gone to bed, at approx. 2am with the only people left in any english-speaking districts we managed to get through. I promptly celebrated by sleeping for a long time.
Another "hell yeah" moment was after I came across the vaettir HM farm, and realised that it actually worked with very little effort, and has been funding my slow sporadic Destroyer Weapon buying binge.
I think a lot of the simple things in GW were hell yeah moments, hitting L20, getting my first black dye/gold drop/green drop etc.

Mmm, I'm gonna have to add on to that, Ninja. First set of 15k was Platemail. Still have it in the bank : ) Dyed it blue + silver on delivery.
I got most of the money from just farming Gates of Kryta, too. Fun times.
