In costume brawl someone one my brother's team told him that his skilsl sucked and should change them.
Half the team responded with "lol", "the skillbars are preset", and "noob"

He then shouted in all caps "THE BARS AREN'T PRESET, ONLY THE SKILLS. YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR BAR FROM A LIST OF SKILLS IN TOWN."
The whole team burst out laughing at him and he rage quit.

Costume Brawl is great for a whole heap of failure. I was in a match a few days ago and the guy was yelling at the necro saying he was cheating for having all those minions. Several people told him it was the flux and other less than helpful things. He just said he said screens and was reporting people, then rage quit. I kind of hope he was a troll, otherwise...

a Lot of people playing CB have been gone a long time it's likely he had no idea what fluxes were so he's not to be blamed, unless someone explicitly said to him how fluxes work then he's just dumb. also CB wouldn't be so bad if you could pick teams and didn't lose them after each round basically TA with forced builds lol

By far the stupidest thing I've heard in gw was here. I was told that scamming is ok if it's only 10k or less. Might be more the richer you go.

Money isn't an issue for me. But letting people get away with stealing isn't ok. Scam = stealing. Amount doesn't matter.

True, making money in gw isn't hard, so trying to justify theft by trivializing small amounts is asinine. It's like some people these days aren't raised with principles.

Correction: you were told that it was only 10k, and you should get over it.
I wasn't even able to reply in that topic, because it was quickly locked to prevent more trolling. So get over it. You learned a valuable lesson not to trust everyone with your virtual money for a measly 10k (or 5k). Not something to be that upset about.

(offtopic: I do agree on the fact that it's never right to scam people.)

I seriously doubt he's upset about 10k. It's the act of scamming that bothers him. And the acceptance said practice has in the community as demonstrated by your and several other posts. Besides, it's seriously wrong to judge someone over an amount of money. For all we know, those 10k represent a large sum to him. Not everyone is insanely rich in this game.

Probably people kicking others out of groups on these fast farms because of their profession whenever they already have 3 sins in the group already. Telling someone they can't do a SINGLE SKELE run because of their profession is one of the single dumbest things I've ever heard.

see dumbest thing again ^

Don't you think that if the general consensus here is that scamming is bad whatever the amount is and you come here and say it's only a measly 10k (5k), that you are asking to be trolled.

Gotta love you trolls though? AGAIN more worried about the amount than the actual theft. I don't like thieves, and people like yourself, not only accept that as part of the game, but encourage it. AND before another elitist troll comes with the money angle know this, I've probably already given away more than most trolls ever will. 10k is nothing to me or most of the long time players.

That thread got closed for the trolls not for any other reason. Sad when trolls control the content of guru. Another reason to find another game to play.

Reading a thread where the OP complains that the most frustrating thing about getting LDOA is having to pay 50g a time to 'Gate-Hookers'....and not realising it was from 2008.

Look for it. Someone randomly resurrected it for no apparent reason. It has pictures of cats too. /facepalm

Blame the mods for that. The person who resed the old thread had already opened a new thread and some mod locked that one pointing the OP to the already existing one.... hence the necrotic resurection of the 3 year old thread.

Cheesy is one thing. I do enjoy MAD KING THORN'S jokes for the most part. But IMHO, the 'retreat' one stunk it up.

This is something I can say about my guild and how we treat each other. I logged in and apperantly one of the members was raging at a hard part of the game. So he asks for assistance in his rage quit mode and spelt help wrong. Me deciding to tease him corrected his mistake it was all good and everything until a little later he wanted to get me back. So i brought up how I only needed 30 ectos till getting my obi (I'll be the first in the guild with it so big deal lol). When the rage quit guy from earlier corrected me saying the plural form of ectos is ecti. Somehow this made everyone in my guild grammar nazis ( myself included as I was doing for the lolz). Eventually things got out of hand and being the only officer on I had to pull out the quite or kicked card first time for me. My guild is filled with morons; morons who I love, but still very dumb.

Actually, if you have the in-game filter on, you actually get censored stuff like "----ed cleric". Seeing that was the first time I found out that there WAS an option to turn a filter on (or, in my case, off)

Kicked for using an emote or for saying "damn"? There's no number high enough or word precise enough to express how sad that is.

Every single time I mention Adobe's damn Flash I add 'damn' before damn Flash, and did that countless times in the Steam forums (on every single game I bought without knowing it was a damn Flash game), and no one was ever bothered by it at all.

There must be something really wrong with the roster of leaders in that guild. Maybe they are in some kind of religious sect or something.

Someone in my ZV group today, wanting to use an Assassin's Promise build, said that he wanted to use it due to its high DPS.

Really, are people so in love with that build that they lie about its abilities?

Oh I had no problem with him using it, but the reason he chose was a poor one. I don't care what anyone uses in a party, as long as they enjoy what they're using.

I just re-read what he said, where did I lie? o.o

In a former guild I got a 'talking to' for using the word butt... yes... butt. Do some people really find that word offensive?

I also got in trouble for bitch and ass, and it wasn't name calling. I believe I said a mission with henchmen was a bitch, and we got our asses kicked.

I never considered myself having a potty mouth but perhaps I do?

Damn doesn't bother me either.

The problem lies, I believe, in word context for me. You can say the 'f' word all you want since it really doesn't have a meaning of its own any longer, it's all in the context of the sentence. It can be a compliment, a happy word, a bad word or a sad word. However, I don't use it since it has such a stigma attached to it.

Anyway, sorry you got kicked for 'damn', as you can see, I've had the same problem.
