I can accept Z-keys and Ecto as a form of currency, weapons and minipets however, are not a form of currency.
Ectos, Z-keys etc have a generall value, and everyone buys and sellings fairly close to this, whereas weapons and minipets can vary wildly in value depending on how much the buyer is willing to pay, and how greedy the seller is.

Lol i first think that guy was the noob not you. if said "money" not money,weapons,mini,etc. Second i agree with the value stuff. take for example Sorrow Forge weapons.when it first came out they were worth $$$$ now you can barely sell lots of them. Same for the CoF greens. The same deal applys with minis. only minis aka travellers,4th years and a few greens and golds from other years are still worth anything.

Pretty much anyone in AB who complains about being outnumbered when they get killed.

"OMG you re so dishonourable you can't kill me on your own! Whhaaagghhhh!!!!"

My reply.

"It is 12v12? Right?"

It has no validity in the USA. It comes from the First Amendment to the Constitution which states, in part, "or abridging the freedom of speech". It doesn't come from the Declaration of Independence, which is what Martin was getting at.

And, ignoring the factual error, it also doesn't apply on GW by the constitution either. The first part of that amendment is "Congress shall make no law..." Anet isn't congress and the GW servers are private property, so they can make whatever rules they want, restraining any kind of speech they like.

Him: Why are you on my friends list?

Him: Me.
Me: Maybe you added me because we've done a mission together or something.
Him: Did you hack my Guild Wars account and added yourself on my friends list?

The correct answer is "Yes, I did... now give me all your gold and ectos before I delete all your characters..."

Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't I mention that the guy had nothing of value so I just added myself on his friends list? I was hoping he's prince charming and will ask me out on a date if I do so.

Yesterday I traded a Murakai's Blade for a Destroyer Sword. I was helping a guildie in Consulate Docks HM and a couple of randomers tagged along with us, one of them saw me using it and decided he really wanted one.

"Hey man wanna trade my destroyer for your sword? Yours looks way cool!"
"This sword? Heh, alright"

I have 3 more copies of Murakai's Blade in my stash due to all the CoF runs. That trade was definitely worthwhile. ^_^

Sure, but it takes an advanced education to be aware of that one. Either you'd have to take enough American political science courses to be aware of the distinction and its meaning, or you'd have to attend law school.

What was pathetic was that the kid wasn't aware of something that a properly educated American 8th grade boy should know. I infer gender and age from the content.

My first character was a female elementalist. (I'm a guy)
This guy I was talking to in Piken Square asked me to join his guild; thinking it couldn't hurt, I did. Afterwards, he'd keep sending me the url to his MySpace for me to visit. I didn't know how to quit a guild at the time, so I just stayed and took it for awhile...

My ranger (yeah, female again) in GtoB.
There were bunch of people doing musical instrument emotes, so I joined it. This guy asks, "hey whats up."
I reply, "not much..."
He goes, "r u a girl."
I stop at this point.
After awhile, he goes, "why wont u talk 2 me?"

A while ago, in beetle racing.
If someone's getting pummeled in the racing, I usually join in to thin out the competition. This guy gets really upset and starts calling me an incestuous something. This was back when I'd actually try to argue/reason at ragers. I whisper back for few minutes before I ask for his district just to switch over and report him.

This guild I was in recently before I stopped playing for awhile.
The leader apparently invited a ranger who was supposed to be quite decent. I just saw him using longbow to kill archers while using troll unguent at full health. Anyways, he's mighty proud of this make-over he did on his female ranger... Silver hair... Elite Druid Set (twig bikini set)... Some Japanese name... He starts going around asking people what they thought of his character's costumes, hair, and name... We get a guest to take a midline spot to GvG, and it's a woman with british accent. The guy starts asking her to say, "fish sticks..."

Had a ranger for that one factions mission - one right before Shiro. This ranger has absolutely no idea what he's doing, so I ask him to just sit back and splinter barrage or something. He loads Barrage and Splinter Shot.

Of course, in AB, those who soloers who get mauled by a crowd and go, "LOL TOOK 5 GUYS TO KILL ME." More like taking five guys to kill you within five seconds.

... and those who always resorts to, "lol u live in your parent's basement and you're fat as fuk and will never get laid."
I'll never know if these people actually think every other Guild Wars players are unfortunate acne-written fat 40-year olds living in their parents' basement or if it's their escape tactic to divert the attention from whatever they were originally arguing about.

We use the Common Law system, but we don't actually use British Common Law as precedent. So... wait, how is that funny?

Unless things have changed majorly since I graduated high school five years ago, they're at least taught. I know in Illinois you cannot graduate high school unless you've passed a course on US government. And that literally means you must pass every single thing in that class.

Being from Europe I must say that these americans referring to US legislation regarding their right to swear and cuss etc on a privated owned server like Guildwars are clear candidates. Going very far in ridiculing themselves.
today I saw someone in Great Temple of Baltazar asking: How can I make money?
I mean, if you just buy the game and click create pvp char, then you arent in it for money...if you click create pve (roleplaying as i says) then your first obvious step isnt GTOB.

Its a question you expect to see in ascalon, shinjjea or kamadan.

I was in the Eye of The North, around Wintersday 2007. I saw somebody selling "awesome greenz!!!11!!11!!," so I thought I'd take a look. I didn't really plan on buying anything, but there was hardly anybody in that outpost, so I figured I couldn't possibly waste more time of theirs than they'd already decided to waste on their own. Anyway, they opened the trade window, and showed what they had. None of it was good at all. Just obscure greens that would be better off given away to new players or merched. I promptly said "No thanks" and closed the trade window.

(The following is based solely on memory. Quotes are probably not exact)
Them: Noob.
Me: Excuse me?
Them: Noob (Yes, they actually included the smiley)
Me: Because I don't want to buy your useless items?
Them: *rage about how their items are not useless with a few choice phrases thrown in for good measure*
Me: You shouldn't talk to people that way. It's very rude, and not very professional-sounding.
Them: I'm 13. I can do whatever the f*ck I want.
Me: /facepalm.

That was the day that I nearly lost all hope for GW.... and Humanity.
