Things you wish you knew before you started Guild Wars...
Scary
Titles, yep I shure wanted to know that infront.
A and using balthazar faction to gain Z-keys.

I wish I knew farming had nothing to do with actuall "farming".. Made a fool of myself 4 years ago as you can imagine.
That they would make all armor inscribable and wouldn't have to salvage my FoW armor I wantd to use in PvP. It was dyed gold oldschool .
The new Dye system.
That stocking up Brown Dyes when they came out, would not make me rich.

Yeah, good point. I had the luck that a nice person (this was 4 years ago) spammed in newbie land not to sell your dyes to the trader in Pre-Searing because I was about to sell a black dye for 1g at the time...I sold it in Ascalon the next day for 11K (remember this was a loooooong time ago )

Before buying alt accounts, I wish I'd known that they'd remove the XTH. I have to admire the way they did it though, playing the "really complicated bug" card every few weeks. Clever PR (or else they really are that sloppy at programming and contracting, which I don't want to believe...)
nacho3232
would this game get abandon when GW2 was being worked on
Age
I would agree with you on this as if they could as well as with th introduction of titles exccept for the pvp ones.Their obssion with bots.The introduction of to many gold sinks.
Lawliet Kira
that rangers werent meant to be fire eles
Atro
the value of black dye before dying my backpack and belt pouch black
Zahra
That there was a Prophecies CE and that I would want one (but not to the point of spending hundreds of dollars to add one to my account at this point).
Nate112211
I wish I'd known about survivor before I had 7 or 8 maxed titles on my character. -_-
??iljo
iding items + elite skills

I wish I knew about:
1. The dreadnaughts chest. Knew about the other ones. I heard about it, but was too busy scrubbing up PVE with my W/Me Illusionary Weaponry character.
2. Nightfall and EOTN would make a once great game only great to those who didnt know how much better it was before they started playing.
3. Fame was going to be introduced.
4. All the farms (55, TOPK greens, SF greens, Riverside Hill Giants, Riverside Tengu, Ettins.) Missed most of them. Made a 55 when all the monk runes were 60k+. Next day an Anet update made them 10X less.
5. How to properly farm UW. With said 55, I rarely made it out the first chamber. And this was BEFORE Grasping Nightmares.
6. That certain weapons would be astronomically priced. Q8 Gold 14^50 Brute sword. Fell in love. Found another weapon I liked better, merched it for the 250~ GP. Bought a q10 Gold UNCONDITIONAL +14 Crystaline from a dude for 2k. No other mods. Sold it a year later for 100k. Most money I had up to that time. Makes me sad.
7. Powertrading. This I wish I knew about the most, as I dont like farming per se. If I had stacks and stacks of shit in storage, I could spend time buying what at will, funding a guild, and taking Screen Shots.
8. Hard Mode would have loot scaling. Would have built a fuggin campain against anet to stop that POS. Greens too.

-That there will be a Survivor/LDOA Titles (never got them on my main ;( )
-That we would get Birthday Presents
-That ANet would nerf Harvest Temple MeMo farm so soon
-UW 55 sooner.

Malice Black
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but useless all the same.
Kisti of Dolphins
That there were titles. Then maybe I would have my god walking among mortals by now
Learned to read all the descripions on the skills, then I might have realized that Barrage and Apply poison don't mix very well
That you don't get virus in your computer just by accepting an invite to a party, trading or answer when someone whispers you, lol, yes I was the biggest newbie ever when it comes to online games.
Guildwiki, found out about that after playing about a year. Thanks guildies<3 Imagine how enlighted I was after discovering that

Commander Kanen
When NF first came out i wish i descoverd paragons before they got nerfed to hell. i picked derv =((
azizul1975
that characters are meant to do what they are meant to do... i remember making a E/Mo and doing the monk job for arborstone quest...lol
Zodiac Meteor
Monking =/= Glyph of lesser energy + firestorm + health party
I waz a prozor monk with heal other and healing breeze.

Medic
That superior runes dont stack, but the -HP does.
cosyfiep
that 4 years later I would still be playing it....would have kept some of the 'rare' and 'leet' stuff to sell later---would have been rich instead of just having enough plat to buy a few lockpicks a day.........................
high priestess anya
That henchies werent ignorant people and not knowing to press j to upgrade pvp chars
Voodoo Rage
I wish I knew about birthday presents. My current account was inherited with a full set of characters all created on the very first day the program was released (I get my pets on the actual release day). Unfortunately I ended up deleting all but 3 of the characters (2 were actually in pre-searing too) missing out on a fortune in pets.
I also fantasize about being about to raptor farm the day EOTN was released and selling those elemental swords for megabucks.

That frenzy made you take double damage.
No... im serious.
No... im serious.
panda11011
that I knew how to farm...
Yelling @ Cats
That in general, people are retarded.
Would have saved me a lot of hassle trying to do missions with PuGs.

tonini
my 100k from kanaxai sword...
Sword Hammer Axe
That I've read the manual. Seriously I got to Kryta before I learned about attributes XD
AngelWJedi
wish i had known how childish a lot of people are in guilds/allaince. so far most of them i only known pain headaches.
Ailina
I wish I had known to save the -50hp grim cesta way back in early 2006...
I clearly remember talking to my brother and laughing about how stupid it would be for someone to want LESS health... Keep in mind this was early in the game, when they were still worth quite a bit, and when the greatest day ever for me was when I got my first 1k. :P
(yeah, I only discovered the wiki like a year in).
Oh, and the biggie. I was online during the 2nd celestial new year, when the cele pig collector was there, and I had 6 mini pigs (5 to trade, 1 to keep), but in a silly moment with my friend I named them and decided I couldn't give them up, and was convinced I could buy the cele pigs after the festival, "when they'll be cheaper".
I've been kicking myself every day since then. I want my shiny pig...

T-Strudel
That holding shift splits a stack
Identifying white items and crap inscriptions increased value
Healing Sig + Frenzy can kill you
That a Magma's Shield still looks a thousand times better than a Destroyer shield (still kicking myself for selling a R9 gold -5/19% +30hp for 10k)
Skipping Infusion is a bad idea
That people who spam racial slurs in PvP won't get banned, but when you say someone is acting like a bitch in all chat, you're gone for 3 days.

Dabineh Deathbringer
Agreed!!!!
When I first started about 2 months after this game came out, I made a necro and went out and fought on my own. I asked for parties and people didn't ever invite me, maybe I was a shy online guy since this was my first MMO.
So I quit lolz, and rejoined when my bro told me I coud use henchmen.

SithLord2064
I wish I had known dye prices. Srsly, sold a black dye in pre for like 50g. I also wish I had known about mission bonuses. I did 4 missions (the first 4 in Ascalon) and kept wondering why each mission town had 1 sword at an angle.
drkn
that there are classes and Classes, some constantly hit with the nerfbat, some loved beyond their need.
Turbo Ginsu
That only a moron deletes a squishie's starter armour. Stacks can be split. The arrow at the bottom of your att points opens the screen thingy..
pinkeyflower
That PvE was entirely different to PvP, and PBAoE spells only affected people in adjacent range.

I wish I'd known that there would be a survivor title.
I wish I'd known that treasure hunter and wisdom would one day be account-based.....all those high-end chests I found and didn't open because I wasn't on my main character at the time I wish I'd known that the rare mat prices would be 'reset' at Factions release....didn't have much money at the time, but enough to buy a fair few 100g ecto's that would have subsequently made my early playing days a bit easier (or cheaper). |
Raynb
that Mesmers would never be "fixed" as a wished class in PvE and that I should have stayed with the necro I created before the Mesmer, even though I did not like him...
revelation
I wish I knew that dead swords would drop crazy in prices and that paying 500k for it and customizing it the very same day is a stupid idea.
Master Ketsu
That PvP would one day be Politics and not skill, so that way I could build rep with as many high enders I could find so getting a group would be 10 minutes instead of 45.
