I for one am guildless and i'm fine that way, i'm doing my own thing and accomplishing my own goals like the HoM. Someday i'll go look for a decent mature guild, until then... There's plenty of stuff to keep you in guild wars, find another guild. From my experiencie with other games, beeing in a portuguese clan/group is nothing but trouble, not to trash talk them (i'm portuguese myself) but playing with an foreign group is usually a lot more satisfying and less stressfull. But as always, it dependes on who you team up with, i'm a magnet to 12 yo's who love to insult behind a keyboard >_<

That sucks, but I know that feeling all too well. Real life and gaming life are quite separate for most people, but even if you hold friends made online in high regard (I do) as well as friends IRL, its all too easy to fall out of touch.

For example, I have been away from GW for almost a year now. This after a return from "retirement" when the only guild I was ever in had a serious bout of drama and we decided simply to fold up shop and many retired. I came back though, played alone a while, and then joined another guild having met a really cool guild leader. Played again for quite some time, until life things came up and then my PC died. No way currently to get back in GW, life things going on anyway, and I have lost the external to GW contact info so, I unintentionally fell right off the grid. I figure I can get to a PC sometime of someone else's, install some things and log back in simply to say hi, but as time goes on, its tougher to do. An important friend, as all my GW friends are, but things happen near the end of a game's life and everyone moves on for a while, returning (often) in a sequel or another game. Falling out of this sort is usually not intentional.

As for friends, freinds are just enemies that don't have the guts to kill you.

As for online freinds/guildies. I do have some good online freinds I have meet in this game. From time to time I am sure we have done somthing that irritates one another. BUT we have this thing called communication. If something makes me unhappy IT will be known. This is a 2-way street. Oddly enough tho we call each other family, as we pretty much are. Even tho we are an odd lot (political, religious, you name it) all over the spectrum, we all respect each other. This is a mutual earned thing. We have taken breaks from this game together as well. If one of my closest online freinds really, crossed the line. I would tell them (it has happened before). If you decide it isn't worth it, bail. There are thousands of good, nice players (out of 4 million+ copies sold). Life is to short for: grudges and massive unhappiness. Who are you carrying those bricks for? PUT them down, life is good again.

About beating your electronics, bad idea.

I think you would need to elaborate on how this friend disappointed you. I can’t even imagine being disappointed with, or even getting mad at a friend while playing a game.

What he said.
There aren't many things that other people in a GAME could do or say, that would really ruin my enjoyment of it.
We all get attached to certain people....but that is what MSN and Yahoo, or IRC are for...communicating outside of a game.(When it works..*sigh*)
Don't let anyone rub you the wrong way..the power to allow it to get to you or not is in your hands...

I have had "friends", we all have, fact is most people online treat their "friends" like they never would irl because there are no consequences for such actions. The trick is to weed out the "friends" that are like this and stop doing shit for them completely. It may suck if you are like I am, I treat RL friends and friends online with the same attitude and respect. Unfortunately most online do not.

Anywho, chill out and move on, if they are really your friends something will get worked out, my bet though is with how people usually are online is that if they screwed you over and have no guilt, they are pieces of shit and move on.

Pretty mch all online friends are fairweather friends, remember that.

-.- That was a lot less interesting than I expected.

Just for throwing flames, you won't get perma banned. Usually you won't get any form of punishment, but if you say something racist you might get three days banned.

I suggest hanging out with more mature people.

I'd say time to find a new more mature guild and put those beasties on ignore....and go on with life....

if they report you for what you said...you MAY get a 3 day ban--at most. Dont worry about it.

1. Are you sure they were friends? They sound like a bunch of pricks to me.
2. Don't worry about your ecto/shards and all that, even if you do get a temporary ban anet won't remove any of your items.

Basically, just ignore them and move on. There is nothing to worry about.

If I were you i would remember this is just a game, and whoever your friends are are probably treating it as such. I suggest you do the same.

See. I think there are two types of people playing these games. People that just wanna have fun, and people that want to have fun but make real connections with others while doing so. The 2 should stick with eachother and when you find out someone is not of the same mind you need to move on.

But seriously though, how do you make real connections? The internet is a mask, your friend can claim he is a female while he is a male.(and people do that) And you can never know whether he/she is the good, or the bad. The beautiful, or the ugly.

Well, I really do not give a shit about what a friend looks like, just their qualities and personality. As for the latter, TS or ventrillo takes care of the fakers.

To be sure there are people that I never get close to at all, I talk to them a bit in game but nothing personal, but some friends I talk to on the phone or on AIM or skype,TS,vent.

Ok final answer.

1) quit the guild
2) ignore everyone that is bothering you
3) forget the whole thing and remember why you play GW

Life is too short to dwell on the Negative things in life. Move onwards
