Fair enough. Your response sounded to me like you didn't known about it.

Then you should also know that they've talked about automatically bumping players up to max level when doing organized PvP and levels themselves being less important once you reach a certain point.

Then of course there's the fact that whatever arbitrary number the cap is set at has no affect on how long it'll take to reach that cap. The highest you can get in GW is 20 no matter which of the 3 campaigns you're playing, yet you still manage to reach the cap faster in Factions than Prophecies. The number by itself is completely meaningless, which is why they haven't come up with one yet.

edit: Heck, GW already has what could be described as, in essence, a "no ceiling level cap." Once you reach a certain point (level 20) "levels" stop being significant (you don't gain any more attribute points, HP, or anything) but you still get small advances in the form of skill points, which aren't a big deal but do technically allow you to increase your character's potential versatility. We they're describing for GW2 is practically the same as what we currently have and people are still complaining about how Anet is ruining the game. Crazy.

Heres one that happened yesterday...

I got a blue fiery dragon sword drop during one of the zquests so as usual I went to Ascalon to give to some newbie. So asked who wanted a free fiery dragon sword in all and this guy comes to get. He then puts a gold plagueborn sword in trade window, after cancelling and telling him again that sword was free he keeps putting that sword in trade, so finally I gave up and accepted. About 10 minutes later I get a pm from him saying "hahaha that fds is much better than the one I gave you, I tricked you!" I replied "The fds was free in the first place! etc.". He then pm'd me back saying "Wtf, it was free, can I have my sword back?"

The dumbest thing in a long time was a PermaSin who started to take damge from Skeletons during 4h. He then started venturing off my Heal Party Range and since the other Sin did not receive as much as a single hit (killed skeletons very sleek the second they spawned), I followed him. So he took more damage, and then some, so I decided, what the heck just spam Heal Party. Even then he managed to receive enough damage to die between to buttonpresses to go from 98% health to death.

After that he really hit the ceiling. To make matters even more bizarre a French team member was getting angry at him for sending the Mobbers away instead of them being backup and also trying to tell him how it was not my fault. It was bizarre having the A/E rage at me in English and a A/D rage at the A/E in French. The second A/E started pointing out how he did not die of two skeletons and then it was on for real. Because this could only mean I had to be reported for... ...I don't know really.

I tell you, this guy spend more time raging and blaming his death on me than the entire run had taken at that time. Even took the time to PM me later. I wonder if he ever understood what the French guy wrote him. In any case, the dumbest thing I heard in a long time.

Today while halfway thru a HM Destruction's Depth run with a pug.

Dervish: Oh man, I just now noticed I have an empty skill slot.

At that point the warrior ragequit.

Fighting the Norn, most of us managed to hit 60 DP, but we pressed on and eventually made it to the final fight. At that point I burned some clovers to help out. Nobody could figure out why their DP disappeared until someone mentioned that it was because we had zoned into the Central Transfer Chamber. They said that DP always disappears at this point in the quest because of the Great Dwarf Blessing you get in here.

This was actually between my boyfriend and another real life friend who I just recently introduced to Guild Wars. It's more or less a gist of the conversation, though. :x

Boyfriend - P
Other friend - G

P: Like it so far?
G: Yep!
P: Okay! Well, what colour's the ground? Is it green, or red? (speaking about pre-post Ascalon without actually spoiling it for him)
G: Oh, the ground's pretty green.
P: Okay well, whatever you do, DON'T speak to the guy next to the gate with the exclamation mark over his head! Not until you've done everything you want to do, because you CAN'T GO BACK.
*after a minute or two*
G: Oh, I see what you mean. It's red now.

i was running a buddy (well kinda i did all the fighting and the others sat there) on visuna square local quarter and i had 3 empty slots after buddy was in grp so i said what the hell ill run some people for free. i get about halfway through the mish and one of the people said "do i have to pay you?" i told him "no sit back relax and enjoy the run" five minutes later he walked up and opened trade chat saying "10k here" i turned to him and siad "im running you for free i dont understand" he keeps spamming "10k here" then wen i dont pay he starts complaining and runs himself into the next mob killing himself so we had to rez him needless to say i made sure no1 did for the rest of the mission he complained and screamed how if hes not alive at the end he wont make it to the next town and as we are fighting the skiroken's group (last one for those of you who dont remember or are not familiar with it) he leaves and spams me with a few choice phrases on how i scammed him and am a ***hole and other crude and obsene language for it

Ya i dont know whats funnier:

The fact that he posted that
The fact that the person thought he had to outbid it.
or The fact that the Mods considered the last 2 posts Nonbids
but the Car/semen post was a valid bid.



Apparently bodily fluids are guru approved currency for bidding

Okay, I do feel sorry for this guy in pre, but it was pretty stupid of him---

Him: can I have someone's armor?
Me: you can't use other's armor
Me: what happened to it anyway?
Him: I traded it
Him: that's why I'm naked

And uh... he apparently traded his armor for another person's, only to (finally) figure out that he can't wear it.

I laughed. Then I felt pity on him. Then I just left the city. =/

For me the stupidest thing I hear daily, and the one that gets me steamed, is noob.

Don't get me wrong, I know there are people dumber than a box-of-rocks out there, but I still remember the days of newb or newbie.

A new person to the game is a good thing, they may be ignorant to the game mechanics, but that can be fixed with help and kindness. Stupidity, on the other hand, seems to be forever.
