Ok, the "how many times does one image of a skill bar need to be quoted in this thread?" thing was PRICELESS.

I heartily lol'd and alerted my coworkers to my lack of productivity. <3

Yes, but I don't think mods should be editing people's threads without some sort of note. Between that and mods just randomly deleting posts, I never know what posts of mine ever remain intact over time.

I just liked the bit about how it's his only way to make money. I mean, really, there's a lot of better ways to make money than selling those greens o.o Starting by like.. merching the greens.

It was hardly a meaningful content change. I didn't see the posts prior to their edits but I can imagine that image being repeated was pretty annoying and incredibly unnecessary.

The posts prior to my edit all contained the image of the skill bar. Commenting on posts is fine, but we really don't need the images to be quoted endlessly like that.

You may consider this post "some sort of note", although I considered the text with which I replaced the images to be self-explanatory, to be honest.

Two guys arguing over how Brazil is written. One was claiming "S", other one was claiming "Z". Funny thing was they were both brazilians and insulted each other in portoguese. Funny stuff if you understand them.

Maybe someone who really really can't get even a single area cleared to get the spirit to spawn would be interested?

Why would they have bought gemsets then? Most people who have gems got them on their own. I can't imagine someone would buy 16 gemsets when they only wanted an armbrace.

If they farmed their own gemsets I don't think they have trouble to spawn the spirit. If they paid for their gemsets then why dont they just directly go buy armbrace?

Armbrace cost ~22e nowadays which is less than 160k.

15 gemsets cost ~180k(12k/set).

I know ppl who want to buy gemset because they already farmed some by themselves but still lack few sets.

There are bunch of ppl in DoA trying to trade their armbraces back to 15 gemsets cuz they know selling 15 gemsets make more profit than selling armbraces.

So under no circumstance ppl will trade their 16 gemsets for a armbrace.

Doesn't that depend on the language they're talking about?

I'm well aware of that, but the way I read your comment, it sounded like they were only insulting each other in Portuguese. They might have been arguing in both Portuguese and English for all I know. I suggested this because it doesn't make any sense for two native speakers to be debating how to spell their own country's name, so I was offering a more logical explanation.

Or one of them was just an idiot. That works too.

You don't know the price or even look at the item I'm selling before asking me to show it? Not really the stupidest thing, just silly and a tad annoying

No, not really, this is pretty much as stupid as the person you quoted. And you should probably not be correcting people on terminology if you don't even know what you're talking about.

That's probably not what happened. Many players that I found out were gay were people I knew for a while. I imagine he started the guild and people left when the topic somehow came up. Word spreads around fast with stuff like that and there's more prejudice in this game than you think

Seriously, this. Just something as simple as "oh, yeah, my boyfriend plays as well" or something equally innocent can give away that sort of thing.

Or his guild is like any other unsuccessful startup guild and he's blaming its demise on his homosexuality.

Doing some RA for the hell of it, some guy (who is using a name similar to a dev in what I suppose is his hope someone thinks he's special) has to rain on everyone's parade every single match.

Him: Resign after countdown.
*no one but him resigns*
Him: OMG f***ing noobs!
*we just barely lose*
Him: 2 dumb 2 resign

next match I'm on opposing team
I target him specifically and solo him in 3 seconds (yes he did try, but he was attacking my pet instead of me so it didn't matter)
Him: You guys suck, you lost to a team with a petmaster.

a few matches later, we're on the same team
Him: Resign after countdown
Me: You know, your teams would be better off if you didn't die so easily, right?
Him: LOL PVE NOOB. Learn to play!
*a teammate leaves*
Him: see, you're such a pve noob that you made someone leave
*I resign since we're a man down*
Him: Now u understand. F***ing retard.
