What's The Stupidest Thing You've Heard While Playing Guild Wars?

That's just hilarious. Really hilarious.
Also, I guess it's a bit late in the thread, but I'm surprised at the lack of comment on all the utterly random 'naked dance parties' that used to occur ALL THE TIME in Ascalon (both pre and post). It seemed like every time you went through there a bunch of Wammos would be strutting their underdressed stuff.
Ahh, nostalgia...

all people who try to scam accounts with the whole "WTB account x" thing..
think I found the dumbest one ever though haha - the whole 100k thing yar-de-yar so I spent 15mins just messing with him saying "give me 50k" then i'll give you the info etc. 5 MORE minutes later (20mins total of messing with him) he said "ok i'll trade you 20k for your account info - then the other 80k when I have seen its legit"
I strolled away with 20k and lol'd at him for being a scammer - served him right for scamming and gave me a good laugh

Pretty much anything said in Shing Jea Monastery American District.
How that place became a cest pit of idiocy is beyond me.

Someone in GTOB ID1 yesterday, told another player that max Z-Rank does damage, and that he should finish off his spikes with it.
Sad thing is, the dude actually believed this, and thanked him for the tip. Lol Z-Rank >_>

I was offering a free ferry to the Docks and I add this newb:
Him: Hello
Me: Hey.
Him: I don't have any money
Me: Doesn't matter, it's a free ferry anyway.
Him: Cool
Him: You have an BogScale fins?
Me: No
Him: You have any Bogscale soup?
Me: No, go farm some.
Him: Can you help me?
Me: No.
Him: You have any money?
Me: Yes.
Him: Can I have some? I'm poor.
Me: No. I'm not a charity.

That the best runes and insignias for every caster (for generic PvE, not for farming) are attunement and radiant..
that the warrior is the easiest class to play with in the game, because you have just to c-space..
that there isn't any better inscription for a shield than the -5/20%..

I saw a guy wanting to buy a "Perfect Q9 Inscribable Stormbow".
ME: I have one I could sell you, Q9, 20/20, +30, 15/50. What's your offer?
HIM: Let me see
ME: It's on another character. It is exactly as I described it. What are you looking to spend?
HIM: Don't know
ME: Well, I'd let it go for 30k if that's ok.
HIM: OK
...so I go switch characters and open trade with him. He proceeds to fill the trade window with a bunch of garbage worth maybe 5k at the most.
HIM: Pleeeeeze
ME: The price is 30k, please don't waste my time
HIM: I'm poor
ME: Then you don't need that bow. Go save up some gold.
He proceeds to keep begging me and opening up trade windows over and over. I finally had to put him on ignore and just log off for a while.

That sort of thing makes me glad I live on the other side of the pond. People here don't exactly go around touting the benefits of Magna Carta and Habeus Corpus. Just doesn't have the same ring to it.

When the Traveler was wanting Gloom seeds, my friend and I were farming them to sell since we already got our gifts. We thought it'd be a good idea to raise a little more gold for ourselves and help out an alliance member at the same time.
I was selling 4 gloom seeds in TOTA, American Dist. I had an exact price of what I was selling each seed for and this person opens trade and offers a green spear.
Him: Please?
Me: No
Him: Please? It's worth a lot of money.
Me: No, it's nothing to me. I have no interest.
*I cancel trade, player walks off sulking*

I was selling a Totem Axe for 4k, then someone wanted to see, so I showed him. He asked how much, I said 4k. Then..."Sorry, I don't buy green weapons for more than 2k, there's NO green items worth more than 3k. Good luck selling it 
"
...I wish I could buy a Bow of the Kinslayer/Hierophant for 3k.
A few minutes later, I saw this message from another player in trade chat: WTB Totem Axe 7k!

Nothing too hilarious. Just kinda bad because apparently I was "trash talking" by pointing that out. And then he proceeds to try to defend it in PM.

empathy kills casters all the time... GO RED ENGIsomething?
@headgear56 Like it was said previously in this thread, monks shouldn't cary a rez unless using UA, because the time they waste ressurecting in battle, other players could die because of the 3-4 secs that the rez takes. And occuping a bar slot just to ressurect in near wipes, why don't the other 6-7 members of the team carry one? --> Scratch that. Didn't read the heroes part.
On Topic -> Yesterday some random guy in GToB started shouting: 'Cookies!' and next some other guys shouted: 'Pancakes!' 'Waffles!' 'Fries!' and so on , and on , and on.
I like the good vibrations that GToB transmits everytime I pass through there.

I got in an argument and it led to "I am god", that's it.

Ah, always something new to share...
Involving my stormbow again...
Some guy in Lions Arch was absolutely railing on another guy in public chat about how there is no such thing as an inscribable stormbow. I joined in and announced that I did indeed have one. The guy called me a liar in public, so I went and got it and tried to show it to him. He refused to even open the trade window with me but still was trying to argue his point fruitlessly. I showed the bow to several people involved in the conversation but the guy was still sticking to his guns saying, "I don't need to see it, I KNOW it doesn't exist."

Well... our guild got a group together to do Thunderhead Keep. There weren't enough of us online for a full group, so we had to pug out the opening spot.
We brought this kid who was bantering on and on about how well he knew how to finish the mission... "just follow my lead!". So, I'm not sure what was the "stupidest", us letting him lead, or his idea of how to progress TK. He wouldn't stay with the group, kept running off and aggroing everything in sight. Our energy was barely recharged before he's aggro'd the next big group. Kept getting himself killed. I think we rezzed him about 4 times before we ported back and dropped him. We ended up finishing with a henchie in his position.
One more.... this guy had pig plate armor (Drok), arguing he'd gotten it from Grotto. We kept asking him if he could see the pig on his chest. Sometimes you just gotta laugh at this stuff.

DSC this double faction weekend, as well as the kinda of expected, smiters bringing CoF smite builds, I had one guy come as a smiter but not only omit Balthazars from his build but also not bring Holy Wrath. "Isn't retribution enough?" /facepalm
But words cannot describe the awesome of this one from the lobby of JQ:

Of course you may mention the recharge time. But since the Deep Wound lasts longer than 8 secs on both skills with not a lot invested in Scythe Mastery, that is irrelevant. If it ends quickly then the foe is either a boss or has anti condition spells, making the overall usefullness of the deep wound rather irrelevant too since it's applied after bleeding on Wounding Strike.
AvB is a useful skill for following in PvE: Running, with the inherent speed and armor bonus, fighting undead, with the holy damage bonus, and minor tanking with both the speed and armor bonus. Sure it has a long recharge, but most fights last less than a minute giving it full effect throughout the fight and normally you get a minute for recharge of energy, picking up items and finding another big mob, which has it recharged before battletime.
AvB has the bonus that it can be used very easily and against any foe. Dwayna needs to cast skills all the time and isn't practical damage wise. Lyssa has a lot of energy and damage, but no defense. Melandru has hp bonus but is otherwise only really useful in condition heavy areas.

Yeah...
(Hint: Like Daze, Deep wound has an extremely useful, and apparently widely unknown secondary effect...)
