Dumbest thing I heard:
One time during AB someone said in all chat to press alt + F4 for an instant win. Then about 3 people left at once...thank God they were on the other team. lol

On release:
Prophecies - $60
Factions - $60
NightFall - $60
Eye of the North - $50? $45?

Congratulations. Add up however many of those you own. You just wasted money on pixels.

So what, my math isn't that great. Math is overrated anyway. I was merely stating a point. It's not worth it to spend real life money on an in-game mini pet when the person clearly doesn't want to sell it, and you'd get perma banned anyway. No need to be a smart ass.

He was right. As a monk, the 3-5 seconds you spend ressing someone, other stuff dies. Carry a res on a midliner (Deathpact signet works nicely, if stuff keeps dying you need to do something different anyway). Monks have better things to put in their slots. Exempting Unyeilding Aura, if you like running that.

Now if you in advance know that your party is going to be utterly terrible, you can consider packing rebirth (or, as previously stated, Unyeilding Aura). But if you have to take that precaution, you're better off H/Hing the mission/quest/whatever anyway.

As for the stupidist thing, I'd have to say people saying that hybrid heal/prots are bad take the cake. I've had people rant at me for having 10 prot and carrying prot spirit and aegis on an otherwise heal-oriented bar. Big win.

Eh, I don't know about you, but I paid money for a game. That's a far cry from spending real money on a shiny object in said game.

That is actually incorrect... "Scrub" is actually a pretty old insult that dates to 14th century English. But became popular with Hit Hip hop Group TLC...

"A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly
And is also known as a buster (busta, busta...)
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass"

"I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me"

lol.. Now I can be entered in to useless information while on guru Thread.

You're thinking about this incorrectly. Owning Guild Wars (or any game, really) is meaningless in and of itself; what you're actually buying is enjoyment. If spending $150 on a minipet makes that guy happy (that is, as happy as spending $150 on something else), he'll have gotten his money's worth.

All purchases are part of an optimization problem: you want the maximum happiness/utility per dollar (euro, yen, etc.). What you actually buy to get there doesn't matter.

I don't know whats weirder. Some creepy no-life who can't sleep because he needs to stalk someone for a mini or an economics professor defending the no-life's logic.

The dumbest things I hear in GW are all those people who PM me to look at my unidentified golds and then complain about the crap skins and requisites and the fact that they are unid. They are for Wisdom title seekers, geniuses! If they were any good I would keep them.

My friend: SF as in Shadow Form?
Random dude: No, Shadow Form sucks, Searing Flames.

Checking in on 9 rings to see if I still have tickets and to make sure I haven't dc'd, nothing but rings win/loss chatter forever, then out of the blue in all chat.. "So what title does this advance anyway?" I just went afk again but wonder if the person ever found out or how long they hung around.

I was JQing on my mesmer & I was sort of stalking this necro or ele, not sure which. I managed to diversion 3 of their skills, so they said diversion was bad. So I spammed wasterals on them, and ofc they died. The rest of the match they went on saying diversion was a bad skill and blah blah. We won anyway

I was running a degen Ranger in JQ. Warrior whispers me and tells me my build is junk, I proceed to kill him (many times -lol) while I was killing Jugs too. I kept telling him if my build was so bad why did he keep dyeing to it. He insisted I only killed him once - lol. After we won he kept whispering me telling me how to improve my build, so I kept asking him if it's so bad why did you keep dyeing to it? He finally put me on ignore - lol.

"hard core sin lfg"
This made me laugh.

"AB is a map rotation. It'll switch to Luxon maps soon. No such thing as losing territory."
Then why are we only on Grenz and Ancestral all day? :P
"Look, I've been playing for 2 1/2 years."
I've been playing since 2005, and Factions since it came out. Does it make a difference?
"Yeah, but how long you play AB?"
Long enough to know we're losing and that's why we only play two maps.
(The guy then goes off on his own to solo cap and complains that we don't know how to cap because we stuck together to cap the closer, more deserted point while he gets killed. Then he ragequit.)

"Ping plz." (kicks because you don't have very specific build he never said he wanted.)

I am usually the person that says the stupid stuff, and other people are the ones laughing at me, funny part is I say stupid stuff on purpose, usually out of boredom.

The funniest part is, I'll be spamming patient spirit in RA and say im a smiter, and my whole team is like "CRAP"

Can't say I do PuGs much - I'm that loner that just h/hs to avoid morons.

But I was working on a survivor ele in pre-searing, and paid a monkey Ranger to get me through the gate.

Monkey did not leave ( was about....level 5?) and ran straight into the first charr mob, dying in a shockingly short time. (he basically just aggroed them all onto himself - I ran when I saw what he was doing)

Ranger:'Res me!'
Me: I don't have a res on me.
Ranger: Come here and die then
Me: actually, I'm going for survivor.
Ranger: (types '...')
Then there was a long pause.
Ranger resigns.

The ones that use "Pro" in their chat spam, (i.e. Pro runner running to LA, Pro Perma LFG for...)
Anything with x name x, or l name l, or XX name XX, or any other dumbass variation as their character name

"Pro" means "Professional" which means "Doing it good for money".
