Well i find it hard to accept when people are rude to each other and have as a goal to help giving tips instead of directly insulting.

But i still get furious when people goes "ZOMG --- YOU STUPID!!!" when they seem to not know what i am doing at all, and they should really stay focused on their own gameplay.

I am a proud fool and really likes to try out new builds for the sensation of doing something different, and sometimes i will test it out in RA.
This sadly isn't seen lightly from the eyes of the average RA player but i still don't find it OK to insult players and don't really know what your built around, which is a big part of playing mesmer, doing a lot of things that not many understands.

To test out all thee updated skills the turn came to crippling anguish, which i was happy to find on the update page since its a shame it has been such a joke skill, so with the build given bellow i set out and ended up with a team composed of a monk, necro, asassin and me.

then after we won a couple of wins and beaten the first 5 we encountered a team that brought us down.
i used arcane condurum and rupting on mes, ele and necro while every once in a while using crippling anguish and calculated risk on the warrior (lovely skill btw)

and people start whining because i don't always follow the ping, maintaining stuff and rupting key skills.

don't know if they wouldn't accept that i cant no matter what interrupt Psychic instability.

don't criticize my build, it was made for testing purposes.

You obviously should have ran a build from PvXwiki and used an interrupt bot to appease your ignorant team members! The future of PvP is to eliminate any human elements.

I wholeheartedly agree with the proposition that the RA community is full of unimaginative, wiki-reliant idiots that don't understand game mechanics. But that shouldn't insulate you from the wrath of said idiots when you run a truly terrible bar.

If you don't understand mechanics well enough to construct good bars from scratch, you should be using the wiki until you do understand the mechanics. Even if you do understand mechanics well enough to build good bars, you should still be using the wiki in order to see what other people are using. Knowing what is out there enables you to bring proper counters.

It only makes sense to discard the wiki once you're among the elite in a constructed format (HA/GvG) and you are attempting to Build Wars specific opponents rather than an entire meta.

Ok... why? So that you won't be a bother to the rest of the team? Listen in RA, it is as said: RA, Random Arena. You can not go into RA and just expect people to do exactly as you want them to.

Seriously, new players, who have never even heard of wiki or who would rather try things out for themselves, without having to rely on the previous experiences of other players, have just as much a right to play this game as everyone else, without having to take crap from people who just don't like losing. If you don't want to lose: Play TA. There you can be sure of other peoples build, and actually have a right to expect something, while in RA, you shouldn't blame people even if they brought 3 PvE skills in their bar... this guy is one of the people who like to play his own way, and who likes to play PvP trying out different stuff by himself. Why can't you just let him do that? Where the hell else is he supposed to go to try out that new PvP build of his? Give him some freaking space. There is no excuse, for insulting people for their builds, and there is no way an insult can be refered to as "constructive criticism"

Anyways to stay on topic: Had a guy trying to sell me Hard Apple Cider for 5 k 0.0 Worst part is I've already used it for Thackerays hunt, and didn't even ask to trade (he just pm'ed me randomly) and then he actually started saying that drinking it on Wizard's Isle (the guild hall) gives you Aion wings XD Man I lol'd

Some fool the other day traded with me (I was Wts - Interdictor) in LA. They clicked accept when I put in trade window, they put nothing in, after waiting for them to change offer for a min or so, I cancelled. They then pm'd saying "sorry, thought you wanted to buy", ok so why didn't you put it into trade window then & why did you click accept? is what I was thinking.

High ranked GvG ppls backline going HA, refusing to run hb/ls, running WoH and RC instead, not taking heal party and saying rit can heal party using protective kaolai (and failing to understand this has a 25 sec recharge).

I call this the "idiot" scam, where people desperately try and scam u, if u rush to accept an offer, and they haven't offered anything. It's much less obvious as a scam, mainly because it's VERY obvious that it's a scam, so you'd go along with the "well, guess they were just idiots" explanation and don't report them. Had this a few times, the first time I rush accepted and never got my item back lol.

*sigh*
its people who go on like this that makes me sad

i play this game for my own fun, not because i think that a maxed glad will make you a president over the world.

i wont sacrifice fun for meta, and guild wars is fun for me because i can be creative.

i may not have played gw as long as you have but this character is still a 3 years old so its not like this is the best i could do because i created a pvp character without having played a mesmer in my whole life

i got a concept of the defensive/offensive hybrid with meele and caster counter and it worked pretty well.

and yes.... esurge was hax with mindwrack and i did have fun with it, but now its nerfed.

and i did the whole build on theorycraft vs metas but theorycraft is worthless without testing it out, which i did in a small format and the reason was that i felt that "the lost son" had come home when crippling anguish was updated, and id give it a chance to see how it was.

thats why i didnt want ppl to criticize the build, it was more the bad manner of some people in pvp.

theres the "noobs" who creates original builds that they think are fun.
theres the "noobs"who load everything from pvx
theres the experienced who load everything from pvx
theres the experienced who creates original builds that they think could be fun to try out.

whatever,

no harm done.

Someone also pm'd me saying "I'll buy, 40 ectos"* and pretty much done the exact same thing, put nothing up but clicked accept, again after I cancelled they pm'd "sorry wrong person." same rules apply as before, why put nothing up and click accept?

*I know that is way too much but after 10 minutes of trying to sell in LA I was willing to accept anything. Ended up giving away to a guildie tho lol

even if he had a skill that has benefit is there's a spirit around, planting it on the other side of a wall would still do him a lot more harm than good

Best thing I've heard is this idiot in another thread:

"Wow so many people QQ and rage about bots. Bots have been around since the 55 days of of prophecies kids... get over it... Bots will be around just like you and your rabid thirst for speed clears.... this game is driven to gimmicky nonsense...
Who cares?

PvP:
Kids who cry about rupty... are bad players anyway... rupty was meta for over a month.... no one ran straight melee.... and those rare teams that did (kitkat, exile) actually beat us... it's using your brain retards.. QQ more and go play Aion... You can pvp your little heart away against monsters and people with wings!!! But seriously... go do something else....

Everyone's acting like we locked up criminals.... I botted because I already had gwamm, I already had high rank, I already had money... who cares... what's the difference? It doesn't matter... It actually got to a point that running rupty and watching little kids RAGE their little lives away was more fun that actually playing GW.... GW is dead... there's nothing to do anymore... If A-net really wants to take care of the bot problem.... give the players something to do... then it'll just go back to the small companies in india trying to sell GW gold for RL money...

/signed X 500 if I had to..."

Basically the guy was saying I botted because I'm pro and GW is dead.

this isn't in GW (although there was a strange conversation i saw today :O ) but i couldn't disagree more:

Quote:

Best MMO Communities
#10 - World of Warcraft

Quote:

Worst Communities
#3 - Guild Wars
Ugh. Nevermind the game itself being a boring, instanced collection of poorly balanced crap, the article is focused on community. I'm always fond of pointing out to people: Guild Wars is not an MMO. Not only isn't it an MMO game-mechanics wise, it's not an MMO community-wise either.
Boasting some of the most immature, annoying and YOUNG (due to the game being completely F2P after you buy the box) players of any currently released game, you can expect to be inundated with Chuck Norris jokes, your mama jokes, stale, washed up internet memes and people named XxXxxXXKILLUXxxXXx play-humping your character. Guild Wars' success has always been inexplicable to me. With a poor community, and poor, almost entirely instanced content, I'm always left to wonder if anyone would subscribe to this game if it were $15 a month.
Guild Wars would be a top contender for #1 if I were to make a "Most Overrated Games" list.

you can tell this person played for like 10 hours or something

In shing jea/RA. also i thought the origin of the word "noob" was in WoW? ah well

So I was playing FA a while back and the luxons had gotten past the inner purple gate and it seemed all hope was lost but then I started to just mess around and kept attacking the turtle even though I clearly saw the monk right beside it. Through the epicness of a monk on my team the turtle and the luxon allies kept attacking me for about 5 minutes straight all the while the luxons are calling me a noob and the monk on my team is just laughing and healing me because the green gate was never even touched. The entire luxon team was raging because they couldn't kill 1 "noob warrior" that was blocking the turtle. And yes they only had that siege turtle past the inner gates and all the luxons were concentrated there. The main point of this is laughing at them for not bringing enough damage to bring down 1 warrior (me) supported by 1 monk and note I did not bring defy pain I was only damage.

Biased review much?

The guy pretty much described every on-line game ever made and slapped GW name to it for context....

He's probably just butthurt that he couldn't bunny hop around the map....

Also, A+ for pointing out that GW would make a poor p2p game as though that hasn't been obvious from day one...

Now, I know that a r/me has some nice options and maybe it could work the other way around as well, but not as a beast master.
