*spoiler* I dunno why, but in EoTN, when Gadd died... i shed a tear or two. |
I used to be an immature gamer. Long before guild wars was ever made, I would play a lot of first person shooters. Back then, losing was harsh. I can't even explain why, but losing was personal. It was like being shown I was a bad player was like saying I was bad at everything. Though that inspired rage. Never cried one tear from that, though I think the keyboard I was using during that time of my life is now missing 2 keys because I never found them after having theraputically releasing my anger on my poor keyboard.
Now things are different. I don't think it has to do with the fact that it's a different kind of game, because I still get mad for losing. Difference is that the very worst, I get strong indications that my newly inspired build sucks royally, but that is anger towards myself. Though after a while I get over it, make a few adjustments to the build and then I'm fine. I can shrug off 99.9% of insults simply because I know whatever they say can't really reflect me because they don't even know who I am.
I don't cry, but I do get sad when I see old friends either leave the guild or fight amongst themselves because most my friends are way too full of themselves to apologize and so sorry as they might be, they burn bridges and relationships.

I've cried of laughter at things in various chats.
I shed a tear when Rurik and Gadd died.
And I cried of pain while SC'ing.

Same as others. I never cried about the game, did once or twice while playing it but that wasn't related to GW in any way. I did have tears in my eyes on some points in the storyline, for several reasons (I might be the only GW player to get deeply moved by Rurik's speech at the end of Nolani Academy mission).
I did smash a keyboard in rage over the game once though. The damage was pretty minor as I'm still using it.
The story in the opening post made me sad, poor girl

Wel, I almost cried today. It's one of those days when after PUGing for a while you again see that Heroes have IQ highest than average PUG. No exaggeration.
I mean, when I tell my hero to stand still he stands still. PUGs.. pugs cant stand still even when that's all they need to do (like, dungeon run), and it fails.
I drastically lower demands when I PUG, but half of pug experiences is like spending afternoon with children with disabilities. Mental ones. No exaggeration.
The proof of this is that PvE is getting dumber and dumber, so that current population can keep the pace. ANet is simply following the trend. I will not buy GW2 because by the time GW2 comes out, general population and content generated for it will be on a level of "oook!" "ugh!".
Personally, I would just kill people with IQ lower than 80 or enslave them (see below).
Slavery and racism ARE ok, what exactly makes you think they aint? Oh wait, it's 20th century propaganda of political correctness.
Most people should be slaves because their qualities are not good for anything else.

Umm...yes but not exactly because of the game.
Basically, I ended up in a PUG (Yes, this was in GW) with someone who worked for my fiance and they had no idea who I was other than someone who knew their boss. I had only spoken with my fiance for five minutes when my fiance said he was too tired to talk to me. I went to do the mission and I found out that this person in the PUG went to a party with him earlier that night and went to a strip club where he took the stripper into another room and...more than just a lap dance happened.
Needless to say, I was ticked and I called my fiance to question him about it. Sadly, this guy in the PUG was right and I broke it off with him that night. Sadly, for the rest of the mission, I was quite worthless. My ex never did figure out how I found out about that.
Again, yes, this happened in GW. Yes, this really happened.

This is why I don't use vent and stick to more casual PvP. People are asswipes on the internet, inflated egos the size of Pangaea. People need to be more humble on the internet, even if they are quite good. (Too bad I can't invite an anti-confidence gun and knock people down to Earth). Having social anxiety makes it difficult anyways... I would probably get fustrated but then too afraid of offending people in the match.
He sounds like a horrible leader anyways. Blowing up at her is not nice, you don't do that to be people (I don't' care if it's the internet or not). People remember that, nobody wants to work with Mr. "We win or I unleash drama on you". BTW, how far was he exactly pushed?

I must say... for folks to get so bent out of shape over a GAME is completely childish. I've had some guild mates treat me that way... no, I didn't cry... because I didn't care. My only retort was "IT IS A G A M E!!!!". If I am not having a good night in PVP (and I don't really PVP much actually, I prefer PVE), then I am just not having a good night. Simple. Its a game kids... a game. Supposed to be fun! A game. I said that already didn't I... sorry! LOL

You can't call it childish though. First of all there's the fact that you are playing together with real people. Real people use real words which can be really hurtful, even if it's over a chat forum. Then you might say: GW is an MMO and not a chat forum. Now here's the difference: You can play a game. Now if you could play a game in a chat forum like Facebook, Twitter, MSN and such then would you react completely different towards the things the people you chat with? No of course you wouldn't. That would pretty much make no sense. Calling people childish because they emotionally react to what they read, that has been written to/about them: Childish.Just to clarify: I've never cried over GW either. However I have become so frustrated that I smashed my hand into the wall so hard that I couldn't use it for over a week. I know, pretty stupid XD

It's one thing to react to something someone says, two people disagree about a build or something, and proceed to argue about it. Thats not childish, thats healthy debate. If someone on your team is trying, but having a bad night, or perhaps they're new to the game, and your team is losing because of them.... the best way to react to this person is probably to teach, not call out in front of everyone else. This is precisely why I haven't done much PVP stuff since Prophecies was the only game... people don't want to teach, have no patience with others trying to get started, and are only looking for "ranked" team mates.
Now, I did NOT say that reacting to the game or a player is itself "childish". Verbally abusing someone BECAUSE of a GAME is the childish part. I'm sorry if I did not clarify that enough.

Never cried, but annoyed.
I just can't seem to find a decent guild.......they are either full of annoying people, or just don't accept noobs..I want to learn to PVP, but I can't find a guild to teach me. Guilds that are nice and stuff don't do anything or just focus on PVE. I can't seem to find a balance :P

But problem is that they mostly can't survive for long because of the difficulty of PvP. When you lose a battle, you've lost it, and sometimes even with penalty. In PvE you can just try again and such, besides it's much easier to train and prepare for that.I don't like this whole noob calling thing nor the thing about not giving people a chance. Elitist preferences annoy the crap out of me as well. However I can see why people would prefer playing with players they completely know the capability of. Sometimes you can find the best of comrades in a PvP guild, but the difficult thing is getting into those circles ^^

Yes, actually. My cat disappeared back in April, and I had been crying off and on for quite some time. My friend asked what was wrong, and I told him... All he had to say was, "He's never coming back. Just get over it." It had nothing at all to do with Guild Wars, except that the PM was received in game, but that did make me cry.
When I first started, my first guild was laughing about something that had happened to me earlier on in my life, something that had hurt me then, and still greatly affects me to this day. They weren't laughing at what happened to me, exactly, but the topic in general. They acted as if it was so trivial, and when I told them it was insensitive and not a laughing matter, they continued to go on and on about it. The unpleasant memories made me cry. Again, didn't cry about Guild Wars, but about some personal things in my life that other people trivialized. It's kind of hard to grasp the severity of this example without a more thorough explanation, but whatever.

Eh, thinking back to that incident, I wonder why I still talk to that friend. That was a very cold, insensitive thing to say to anyone, especially someone who was still getting over the death of her thirteen year-old dog. As for the people in my first guild, I left that day. It over three and a half years ago, though one of the guys from the incident is on my friends list again. I have since come to terms with the.. Topic in the incident with the guild, but at the time, it was still fairly new to me for various reasons I won't get into here.
As for my cat, thank you, but I'm afraid it's not likely. He was technically a "stray", but since he was always in our yard and I had turned him from feral to a lap cat who waited for me multiple times a day, I pretty much considered him my outdoor cat, a good friend. Everyone instantly fell in love with him, even people who weren't fond of cats. I think someone must have picked him up, fallen in love with him, and couldn't bear to part with him. That's what I've been telling myself, anyway, and I'm inclined to believe it.
That's far longer than I intended. Sorry.
Staying on topic, I see a lot of "it's only a game" in this thread. Probably being a broken record (didn't read the whole thread), but it is quite possible to form bonds over the internet. I met my best friend over the internet, and we ended up meeting up in my town a few years ago. If she had raged at me like that, I probably would have been very upset about it, and it sounds like the OP's friend and guildie were good friends before he blew up at her.

I actually cried from rage once while vanquishing. I spent a long time with my heros and hench clearing out some place in kurzick territory, when i got wiped by a boss and his group. I kept dying from this group over and over and almost all party had 60%. Of course I forgot my candy canes, and i only had enough gold to buy morale boost from the shrine avatar to get 45%. Needless to say, I got wiped again by the boss and was zoned out with only a couple baddies left to vanquish. Took me about 15 minutes away from the computer to settle down.
That is all..
That is all..

I think Ive replied here, but it was well over a year ago. I've cried recently! Arguing with a real life friend though, about real life stuff. I was using Guild Wars as a substitute for MSN, as it refused to work on my laptop. GOOD TIMES.

almost when Rurik died...
almost when few of my GW friends died or have someone close died (that is what happens when you were in a guild with some members 65+)
from frustration - when pugging. I can handle rurik and alesia leeroying but not what some pugs are able to do.
from "world-weariness" - when reading local chat. Now it is permanently off together with trade one.
Yes I do prefer to have other team full hench in vizunah regardless if it is NM or HM... Their survivability is higher than most (with one exception) of the teams I encountered there recently.

Saying that it's just a game and you should not cry over a game is the same rhetoric your parents beat into your head to keep you from crying after losing in a game of Candyland. What they mean to say is that you should be a sport for losing.
This is not a 'game' in the sense that you win or lose, and I think I speak for everyone here when I say that if you're over 8 years old, when something frustrating/disappointing happens related to the game, you get angry.. not bawl your eyes out. Most people cry in game for reasons rather unrelated to the game.
So anyone who responds to this thread by posting "lol whut! crying is 4 babys lolz" probably not only almost cried playing a game but probably hated themselves for it too.

The only time i got really sad was when my best friend that i met when i first started playing said she was quiting GW and wanted to give me all her stuff. I still think about all the fun times we had doing missions and stuff and when we first met in Ashford Abbey in pre 
Lol, and this one time i was really embarressed when i join a gvg guild. I was in there for a few days and realized that their time was different from my time and nobody told me it was a european guild and that i was the only american in it. And when it was time to do the battle i was getting set up on vent (but i havent used it in a long time) so i was kinda lost, so they had to tell me how to get on and stuff. And then after i got on they were all saying i was a stupid american so it kinda hurt my feelings but idk why. And to make it even worse, i live in the hell desert and it was summer time so i got perfect lag throughout the whole match (115+ degrees to be exact) So like every 10 mins i would lag out for a few mins and dc, i was so embarressed i left the guild after the day.
