Things you were surprised to not find in Guild Wars?

Those sorts of things werent even directed at me, and I was a relatively new monk to the PvP arena. No, it was just that sort of environment in general that made me drop it anyway. Fine though if that is what everyone who does play it actually wants. In that case I'll simply do without it.

One thing that might have been nice would have been an environment where newer PvP players could earn their wings so to speak with a bit of care before diving into an insult-ridden impatient everyone for themselves rank-oriented discriminatory affair. Not that all my PvP experiences were like that. I simply can see quite easily where Fitz was coming from.
