I honestly can't tell if this person is trolling.
If that's true, then it should be possible for that person to get some kind of proof from a psychiatrist.

Yes, but the one that deleted stuff may be the genuine owner! The one asking for support may not be.

Should have SS it, especially when the whole district was arguing about it, and the got who said it was over powered got a couple people to agree with him.

Nothing to comment, image speak itself.
Not everyone is a 7 year veteran of GWs. This game does get new players from time to time.

Indeed. Case in point, I've been playing for about a month, and I'm enjoying it greatly. I know "everyone else" is "all done" with "everything," but I'm enjoying just wandering around. To me, it's all new...

Saw this earlier today, luckily managed to find it on argos.
(26/01/2012 12:45:36) The Shadows S**** : willing to buy + armor while affected by shout or chant for shield
I was just like, yeah, me too!!!

But the dumbest statment ever must've been the ranger that showed up in Gate of Pain with Meteor Shower, Mind Burn and a pet. And getting really insulted when I told him to switch build saying it was really good. I still got that guy on ignore, and he's never coming off.

I wish I had screenshotted it, someone in Spamadan was asking if anyone would be willing to drop a Kormir costume that they could borrow for a while to "try it out before I buy one".

Customized items...you're doing it wrong.

The perils of OP 7-hero teams. EVERYONE'S build is suddenly "really good'.

Some guy in my guild was arguing up and down with me one night about his great mesmer build (for PvE) that basically involved him shadow stepping to the enemy monk so he could Echo chain Blackout. "Hey I've beat all the campaigns with it..."

Actually that was pre 7 heroes. He finally found someone else to team with so about an hour later I saw him spamming in the next outpost for more team members. I tried inviting his teammate but when I noticed him in team I kinda just PMed and told the teammate to check his build. And he was like "WTF, yeah I did notice that was kinda a lot harder then usual back there.". And his heroes was like Dunkoro and Koss with no elites. Basically I think he's been living off other players he's met on the way ;p

I agree with the person blacked out in blue on that one though - people can buy any number of things they want for their accounts without having to justify it to others...unless you're pointing out the stupid person as being the one that mentioned you only need 15?

Whats weird about that? I mean seriously, nothing weird about buying for 3 accounts. If he was buying for 15 I'd get it

Seconded. I'm still confused on whose build was being used...all I was able to grasp is that Cyclone Axe was used, and they both agree (what?) that it sucks?

Customized items...you're doing it wrong.
You an pick customized items and 'try them out' with dyes.

But you still can't pick items that are tagged so you can't drop them or trade them.
I don't remember if you can drop costumes.

Most people figure that out by themselves like I did.

Still, it is not perfect. You can only try one piece of equipment at a time, and only those that accept dyes. Accepting dyes is not the same as being dyeable.
Many /bonus weapons and several items that drop accept dyes without changing colors. And many items that do not accept dyes have different colored versions in Unique weapons.

I was using my alt account in RA yesterday, as it has a free PvP slot, and I just felt like having a bit of fun. After crushing it with a team missing the standard cookie cutter format that is so often considered the "only thing to run if you want to win", one of the people we beat at around win #21 or so PMs me to say that my bar sucked, that it wasn't meta and we would only lose the next round. I dismiss him and a few minutes later get the oh so lovely "LOL 32/50 you suck!" Thats right, there are people who have little better to do then to search HoM calc to throw it on your face... Love when this happens on an alt Oh and to boot he proceeds to tell me in russian... When I laugh him off he then calls me a fat american burger eater.

I was in a fissure of woe and asked the rit to stay in forge to send the mage (I was t1 ranger, was only gonna be 1-2minutes) he didnt bother and then when I asked him why not he said:
"Thats not how DL do it, you think i'm some noob?", I'm in DL. Needless to say when he found this out he seemed quite the moron!
I also found it funny of all the high end sc guilds he could have picked, he picked the one I was in. Made my day!

Not really stupid but worth sharing. Happened in april 2011.
Guys selling unid golds, i bought 7 just for the hell of it.
Had 4 CC in the middle, including a q9 healing. Tell him i'll pay 10e since i like the skins.
He proceeds to deny and makes me pay only 5k. I feel sad to this day.

I find this especially hilarious on account that a) it happens to me all the time and b) I actually don't give s shit about titles, or HoM. All I care about is storyline, having sweet sweet drops, and cold hard Z-Coin.

FYI My main is 10/50

While I get that it can net you rewards in the next game, so what? It's not like they are exclusive rewards, they won't be "special" on account that like 20 thousand people wil have them. Not exclusive; don't care. I'll play Guildwars2 like I play any normall game.

Only title I deliberately sought was Legendary Defender, all others was by chance of playing the game.

He was WTS a Charr Bag in Kamadan for 75k.

Imo he seems nice, i would just try to tell him the price, rather than mocking him.
He eaven told you the correct prices(ish) for the dyes,
I dont think he wanted to Scam anyone...

I would have, but there were also 2 "WTB Charr Bags 100k" in the district as well at the time.

After the ordeal, I put him on my ignore list. That same evening, I returned to Kamadan (zoned to AED2) on a another character on the same account to transfer some items into storage (no guild at the time). He seemed to have taken note of my account on his FL, because he knowingly approached me on a second account, and addressed me as below (purely coincidence we were in the same district...).

In local chat:
Him: "C'mere you little s***"
Me: "?"
Him Whisper: "I'm gonna"
*Puts him on ignore list*

(not to mention his character IGNs are pretty Emotastic/gruesome; not saying much, but still.)

Done and dealt with.
I considered reporting a case for harassment, but I'm far too lazy/chilled for that.

No screeny proof, I know, but, I will not post that here as it is duly inappropriate as well as drifts away from the topic of this thread.

My actual point behind this?
The kid knew the price of the Charr Bags. Telling him wasn't going to help anyone.

Wait, who was being the dick in this? Doesn't look like the guy with the char bag.
