Confessions thread

"Confession is good for the soul"

Time to fess up, post the bad things you've done in GW that you shouldn't have. No names/specifics, just what you did. Don't bother claiming you've never wronged a single person, because almost everyone has in some way. Whether you scammed them for 100 ectos or left them to die in a mission to save your own butt, EVERYONE has something they should be sorry for.

I'll start it off.

A long time ago when I had just beaten the Dragon's Lair and was in Droknar's Forge for the first time, someone was looking to buy a bunch of runes. I had one of the runes they were looking for, so I found them and opened trade. At the time this rune was worth around 3k, but when the person opened trade they put up 36k. I thought at first they were going to trick me, but I accepted and so did they. At that point I realized they must have made a mistake but I didn't say anything and went on my way. I never heard back from them but they were probably pretty mad when they realized what they had done.

So if you're out there, sorry!

Now it's your turn. Don't flame/troll people. If you don't like this thread don't post here.

Bought elite tomes for 2k each - yeah bought as many as i could :P.

PuG's: Some guy was really annoying me, i was holding the vision crystal for elona reach, i'd already finished the mission and bonus so i zoned out while still holding the crystal... no idea whether i drop it or not when zoning out.

There was a long running thread a while ago on the same subject. You should have a look for it as there were many responses if you are interested.

But for this thread, no. No scams.

During the open deep/urgoz weekend, our party wiped except for me and a r10 Zodiac Hammer (whatever it is called) had dropped assigned to someone who was dead and I couldn't res. Rather than just leave, I stood there, with the guy who had the hammer still there, waited for the hammer's assignment to expire, and then suicided while getting it.

He wasn't happy, but I was :P

I did that for a fkn silver dye about a year and a half into playing. Feels kinda stupid now.

I miscalculated the price of iron by an order of magnitude and charged somebody a lot more than I should have, because I had just sold off some steel and made the mistake of thinking iron came in ones.
Oops. Whoever I sold it to didn't notice either... they were, ironically enough, going to make some steel.

Don't worry. Last summer we were doing an UW clear group (balanced, no ursans or shadow form). Few of our guys dc'd and when one of them came back, the rest of us started saying "dude, there was an ecto for you, you can still pick it up, it's assigned to you" (he dc'd, but was in-game still - God bless the reconnect that works 10% of the time). He got there... but he was killed by an Aatxe patrolling the way. We then came back, killed the bull... and ecto's assignment expired. One of the PuG players took it fast and disconnected.

;d Cruel joke that caused us to loose a player. Oh well, he would scam us, too. Remember the time people killed others at the end of UW just so they could get their drops? ;d

I guess I'm a saint compared to you guys lol. I wouldn't let somebody get a real deal and I wouldn't overcharge either. If I saw that 36K I'd correct it.

Back pre-EoE nerf, was one of the few that used to make a griefer team for AB with 3 saccers and a resmer. Sac, res, sac, res, sac, big boom. Kill everyone before they realize what's going on, nobody could res for a large part of the match. Gates open, everyone on our team's dead and staying that way. Pretty much a free win for the other team, unless the occasional, rare monk catches on and starts healing people. Mostly did it for the reactions. Some people were laughing their asses off, others threatening to ban us all with their mystery cousins who supposedly work at Anet, people calling hax, etc. Maybe 1/30 people would know what EoE was. >.>

About a week later, EoE got nerfed, although probably not related to our escapades. Saaaaad panda.

During a mission a girl dropped her Black Moa Chick, just to show off I guess but didnt pick it up fast enough, after I took the Chick she begged me for like 30 min. to give it back to her and told me her story how her bf farmed to get it and give it to her as a sweet, sweet present, after the mission was over I left the party and went offline, anyway, forgot her name, if your out there, pm me and we can discuss how much the Chick is worth to you

Nah just kidding, wish I remembered her name, would like to give it back.

When I play AB with my friend we run war & monk or sin & monk (gank char + monk). We take 2 random people then don't care if they die. Even if they're right beside us with 50hp and bleeding to death we let them die and then Zrank / rank their dead body :P

Especially funny when you monk with this build

• Word Of Healing
• Patient Spirit
• Guardian
• Holy Veil
• Dismiss Condition
• Bull's Strike
• Grapple
• Sprint

Land a bull's, follow with grapple and the sin just chains off of it ^^

Bought a minipet for 6k instead of 60k by accidently, and once i realised...I didn't fess up

I was in a CoF with a guildy and the monk runner was slow and died a fair bit. The team was being a real asshole to my guildy and I kinda got sick of it. So when the monk died, I told everyone to suicide and then we can rez at the shrine. Everyone suicided cept me. I proceeded to /sit and afk. This was about 45-50 minutes into the run.

I still feel bad about it : (.

It was my early days in Guild Wars, and was going through prophecies with a few friends. One reminded me that they were going for survivor. After a few failed PUGS earlier on with survivors, I was rather bitter. No heroes, only fail henchies (Alesia ftl), and needless to say, I was the only monk. After said friend lagged out... I purposely let my friend die. Needless to say when said friend reconnected, they were not a very happy camper. They weren't too far from Legendary, too. Survivors still leave a bad taste in my mouth, and I do my best to avoid them like the plague when it comes to PUGging.

I've never scammed. Not because I have a problem with it, but because I'm too lazy to try.

Nor have I wronged anyone. I've mocked people with ugly armour combos and shitty builds, but they deserved it.

One of my old guilds used to AB a lot. One day we got bored and started syncing 3 groups of touch rangers. Those we played were not happy about this or the beating we were giving them since we were all on Vent and very organized. We cheesed this up for an entire afternoon and ended up getting so many tells chewing us out that most of our ignore lists were full.

Not exactly a scam, but I felt bad afterward... had people chewing me out in PMs for a few days if they saw me in AB.

I played guild wars while I'm naked.

sold 10 ecto for 500g ea lol, got bored so yea idk why

I say rude, sarcastic things to everyone that I find to be moronic. Yep, but I dun feel bad about it considering many people talk idiotically.

I was farming UW with some guildies (it was my first or second time), and my guildie Joe (now GL, hehe) got an ecto drop for him while he was dead. I was monking - we were 600/smiting and he was running mes backup - and was the only one of the 3 of us with rebirth. But I was kind of mad at him for LJ'ing (very bad habit of his - ruined countless UW runs, lol) and getting all the drops anyway, so I just followed our then-GL who was running the 600, and when the drop finally came unflagged I grabbed it, then rezzed Joe. Held on to it for the entire run, too. I did give it back though - kinna regretted it as he still miraculously gets all the golds, greens, lps, and dyes when we run CoF while poor hardworking monkey here gets nada... ('sokay Joekun we still love you)

I've also refused to heal/rez assassins or warriors on occasion. There was one Tahnnakai Temple run where we had 3 sins (it was a terrible group - 1 lvl16 or so sin, 2 other sins, 1 ordinary ranger, 1 ranger who was convinced he could nuke, an okayish ele, another resto rit, and me - but this was back in the day when almost all Factions mishposts were empty past NQ), and a couple of them WOULD NOT LISTEN. They kept LJ'ing into the mobs, aggroing everything in sight, and overextending so we couldn't heal them. Finally, as we neared Vizu and one sin took off to fight the ranger guards around the side, I whispered the other resto and we agreed not to heal the sin unless he behaved. It worked, though, so I'm not so remorseful about that - we finished, miraculously.

Oh, and I'm a tremendous lockpick mooch. I always forget to get them before a dungeon, and I'm left borrowing them from my GL. I swear, borrowed lockpicks have like a 10% higher breakage chance...

My worst thing, though, is gossiping in Guild Chat or on XFire. I'll be in a mish or something with a PUG including another guildie and as we're doing it we'll be poking fun at the other folks' antics or complaining about somebody. We've also had a couple of "oh oh check out this ugly monk in the green and purple armor! Isn't he stupid looking?!" moments in outposts.
