Your bad Guild Wars habits

We all have bad habits, now what are you bad Guild Wars habits? It can be anything, from the playing aspect to socializing, anything. Just wondering and thought this might be a good topic.

I guess I'll start with mine: even though I can keyboard the first 5-6 skills, I have a need to either look down or mouse click them. I don't know where I developed this from, but I seem to do it a lot. Another thing is I hate to share builds. I mean I'm not that creative and get stuck in certain builds or muscle memories (skill 3 is always the elite/big skill, skill 4 is always the interrupt/spam skill), so if I give out what I'm doing and it ends on PvX and then nerfed, what am I gonna do?

Deleting/remaking my characters. I do it a lot. I've been playing GW for over three years, and none of my characters have ever had a first birthday. I've had four characters with Obsidian armor, all of whom have been deleted/remade. I also tend to customize everything, including "rare" stuff, which makes the deleting even worse, lol.

Giving constructive critiscism on builds a bit too aggressively.

i press the space bar too much...
i ping too much shit in pve...
i'm a ridiculous impulse buyer...
i buy things i don't need and won't use just to say i have them...
i sell all my stuff for way cheaper than it's worth cause i'm impatient...
i pblock holy veil sometimes...
i can't ever make it through more than 35 seconds of an RA match without pressing G and clicking Guild Hall...
i habitually type winky faces in all chat after i kill someone and curiously await their reaction...
i pop in great temple of balthazar ad1 and say quick one-liners like "i'm christian" just to come back an hour later and witness the giant pseudo-intellectual shitstorm i'd unknowingly created one hour prior...

i got a lot of bad guild wars habits, dude.

Lol I can relate to that, also pressing H.

Pinging almost anything, I use Ctrl to speak in Vt, so I sometimes spam a lot.

Raging at noobs in PvP.

Raging at HM monsters for being cheats who need 33% more everything and 4-6 more levels to beat you,resortign to me having to use gimmicky stuff such as discordway.

Sneering at the no lifers with 1000 obby armour sets,complete with chaos gloves and voltaic spears of course.

Quitting GW and coming back on to see the next update,or lack there of.

1: being too insistent on getting Legendary Survivor (the "legal" way, WITHOUT punching). I don't even have a main character because of that.

2: trolling/counter-trolling, I do it all the time on GW (they deserved it, though!)

I'm a perfectionist, so all of my characters must have LS, and must have died at 1,337,500XP.

Also, I've invented a way to punch people over the internet and I use it far too often.

I tried pressing Space to jump and again to open wings... Damn you, Aion!

Also, I like farming, but I get bored fast. So I keep thinking about new places to farm.

Interrupting. Victims say it is a bad habbit.

Not saying "bye" in guild chat when i quit.
When i say it, i usually wait 1-2 minute to see if anybody responds...thus strengthening my reason not to say bye.

Trying to make reasonable arguements with people shouting 'fcking noobs' around. Fighting for a lost couse is a bad habbit...

Being overly ironical when it comes to arguements.(Not just in GW)

The same here.
Also I always round off my currency to number divisible by 5.
Going afk every 5-10 minutes when none of my guildies/friends are online, just to check if they've come on.

Ok yes.. id like to join the N - G - H club also.

I also have this urge to destroy or customise expensive weapons/items that i have bought.. but once ive had them for a while i get used to it

Also, sometimes i randomly drop my expensive items on the floor and then pick them up again, i have no idea why.

Pressing N and G too often.
Having timeconsuming arguements with funny people that flame everyone that doesn't have the same opinion as they do.
Addiction to uninscripable canthan staffs and offhands, which I can't afford.
Not checking heroes builds
Not checking If i'm in HM.
Talking too much, while I should be healing.
Talking too much, in general

That would be about it.

Your backline

W/

- Pressing spacebar way, way too often
- Running up with my monk to hit stuff with my axe (pve)
- Paying too much for stuff I want because I don't want to have to interract with them seller for longer than a few seconds.
- Continuously tabbing out of gw after casting aegis (pve)
- Spending more energy keeping minions alive than actual teammates
- I join PUGs
- I really do join PUGs
- I keep alliance chat on most of the time


There's probably more but this'll do for now

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Requirement Begins With R [notQ]

Me/

Using R to run. It means I have to type /stuck constantly.

I could wait for Anet to fix the stuck bugs properly but I'll probably have died of old age.

Also, I minimize GW to change a song and return within 10 seconds to find myself dead.

Clicking to move just a few centimetres forward. I end up constantly clicking. It hurts my wrist like hell after a while, but i just can't be bothered changing the habit.

-Constantly deleting & re-making characters....
- I don't know why but once I achieve something on one character I tend to want to play another character
-I also customize everything making this habit all the more painful
-Also paying crazy high prices for things b/c I want them NOW and selling low b/c I have no patience to wait for a buyer

Glad I'm not the only one :-) I played for almost 3.5 years and only one character just received it's third birthday present, and a second character will get it's second. Rest are max 6 months old.

  • Whenever I need to move somewhere, I end up repeatedly clicking along the path, never stopping.
  • N-G-H club
  • Saving useless crap like assassin tomes, saurian bones & Juicy Heket Legs. (I've got a whole storage pane dedicated to all the saurian bones I've farmed )
  • F5 on Guru homepage every 2 mins
  • and more...
