As if it's its too crazy to think maybe I want the rangers at the Guard Posts to kill the other team's jade carrier.

Assuming you were Kurz that would be griefing and I would have reported too.

It could be considered griefing, perhaps. But consider all it does is speed up the win for the better team. And the sploding is lulzy. Especially when it's Gunther doing the sploding

No it doesn't, it hurts Kurz far more, because they rely on NPCs, some of whom don't respawn (and 1 of whom loses them the game if it dies). Also, Muddy Terrain does a lot more to hurt Kurz amber runners than the Luxons.

The NPCs on Kurzick side don't put up much of a fight; they simply fuel EoE's damage against the enemy team. Also, turtles die fast with EoE.

You just Disease the turtle and the 10% loss required will soon follow with toxicity. A few of your team and enemy team die; so does the turtle. It allows you to focus on killing the Luxon warriors guarding the turtle. Don't forget their monk though.

I could be wrong as I haven't tested this, but surely players are not the same "type" as Turtles.

The reason why it's better on the luxon side than the kurzick side: you are killing all humans (including NPCs) on either side, removing defence and giving turtles free reign. See how this would be better for luxons than kurzicks?

EoE is absolutely golden as a Luxon - especially at Gunther.

If the Kurzicks are playing Heal Wars with a troupe of monks and resto rits, EoE is among the strongest methods of dispering them. It synergizes great with the turtle attack... and don't forget Toxicity and disease. Hell, throw in Fertile Season as well for a juicy bomb because the gatekeepers and Gunther are all human.

Glory!

Fine fine, yes. As you might have noticed, I lied when I said I wasn't griefing. Would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for these noobs! And their dumb troll, too.

I can't remember the names, so I'm just going to use [Herp Derp] and [Buttmunch].

In Lion's Arch a year or so ago, watching two idiots argue in local about who was the real hero of Tyria. [Herp Derp] insisted that the real hero was Rurik. [Buttmunch] thought that the Seer deserved all the credit. I stood back and just watched for a long time. I didn't agree with either of them, but I eventually had to step in just because of how funny it had become.

[Herp Derp]: Rurik saved SO many lives! He brought us to Kryta! We couldn't have even gotten to the Shiverpeaks without him to see the Seer!
[Buttmunch]: Yeah, then we would've been stuck in frikking cold mountains with no plan. But the Seer was there to help infuse our armor.
[Herp Derp]: Ugh, who do you thank? The chicken for being born or the mother for laying the egg?
[Buttmunch]: What kind of stupid analogy is that? Rurik was useless! He didn't even get far enough to LAY an egg! The Seer stood through SNOW and FIRE!
[Herp Derp]: Are you kidding me?! Rurik was there the entire time!
[Me]: You do know Rurik died, right?
[Herp Derp]: LOL If you don't know the story, don't try to step into our conversation.
[Buttmunch]: Wait a second. You didn't know Rurik died?
[Herp Derp]: HE DIDN'T DIE. Didn't any of you READ the stuff as you were doing it? He helped us escape, he was the King's Ambassador or something. He got hurt in the Frost Gate but he just came back.
[Buttmunch]: ....What?
[Herp Derp]: HAHA, see? You didn't even know the story. Yeah! The guy with the staff is Rurik. I saw a quest that said it.
[Me]: Are you...talking about Vizier Kilhbron?
[Herp Derp]: YES. God you people are thick. Now do you agree with me when I say Rurik was the savior?

After this conversation, about a zillion more people jumped into local calling out Herp Derp for being such a big idiot. He tried to defend himself, and for a long time didn't want to admit that he was wrong. He stood by the idea that he read that Rurik was actually the Vizier. When so many people pointed him towards the Wiki, the cinematic showing Rurik as being brought back BY the Lich King, and calling him an idiot he shifted goal posts and changed his argument. It went from him "misreading the cinematics" to "people were just twisting what he said, he never said any of that", and full circle round to "well we can't be sure, there are lots of unanswered questions".

I think I laughed for like an hour.

Going to have to repeat Sanctum Cay to spot the differences between Rurik and the Lich. F U spoilers.

I mean, it makes perfect sense that he would become a Ranger when he moved up north and later shift down into a Paragon to be more like his original Warrior profession.

I'm a bit of a noob seller, so that could be why people try to constantly rip me off, but..... I was in Spamdan lastnight, trying to sell this Q7/16 shield. This guy PM me & haggeled the price for about 5 mins, then when we went to trade, this happened.

1st he put his offer in correctly, but cancelled the trade...

Then he offers me an inscription & says that I have to put it on the shield so he can see it's really inscripted. Of course I knew straight away, at that point, that he was trouble but proceeded with the conversation with this thread in mind.

I indulged and accepted his inscription, used a superior salvage kit to remove & keep mine(as his intention was to devalue my shield), installed his, opened trade window...and POOF...he vanished.

I knew this was going to happen, kept my inscription & remodded the shield ~ no harm no foul. But it is a lesson for other not-so-wary traders out there. His request was the stupidest thing I have ever heard of ingame so far.

P.S. He is the White writting...

Someone tried to lie and say my friend stole his cash in her service thread, i posted proof otherwise, didn't bother editing his name out, and i got an infraction, so yeah, you pretty much do have to change that.

Well, if you want to get into that, we're discussing chats in-game, i.e., 'heard in-game', and builds are pinged through the chat, so we also 'hear' them.

It might be the jargon. After you spend some time buying or selling, you start using the specific language and players who don't will stick out. It's entirely possible there's people who try to prey on such "trade newbs".

Anyway, with such scammers it's best to simply drop the trade window and move away instantly. Believe me, they get the message. And once or twice when they really did want the item I've had them come back with the correct price and no more shenanigans.

In this particular case the excuse didn't even hold water; you can see clearly whether an item has an inscription slot or not. And your use of a superior kit was risky (did you mean perfect kit?) because there was a 50% chance you could have destroyed the shield.

And to get back on topic, this q8 business touches on another brand of stupidity (or cunning, it's hard to tell): buyers who argue that the item is basically worthless because the mods are missing or are bad. Now, correct me if I'm mistaken, but the value of such an item is in the base spec ie. the fact it's max at q8, and in the inherent mod. Extra mods (suffix/prefix/inscription) are nice to have from the start, granted, but they can be added, and the cost of the extras is only a fraction of the value of the item. It's silly to complain that an item worth 100k is missing 5k worth of mods, and devious to pretend that it's "worthless" because of it.

Probably not the stupidest thing I heard but it gave me a good laugh while trading in Kamadan.

Not going to say the specifics so I don't directly call out the trader.

WTS XXX shield c/o far too much

I think to myself that shield looks familiar to me.
I look around on guru for about 1 min and find the same seller with c/o of 150e less updated less than 10 min before.

Gotta love fake C/O
