knowing how to play the game, and be effective, and be smart about your actions makes you good. or 'leet' if you wanna call it that.

unfortunately less than 1% of guild wars' population can do this. that's why when you come across a good mes, or war, or ranger, people know it and point it out. like it's a rarity or something. where's my quality control, genocide of the bads.

this pretty much sums it up.

Having a rare item in GW doesn't really mean much in GW, just means that you farm all day. what truly makes you elite is your skills and knowledge of the game, but skills are only really seen in PvP, which doesnt interest most of you I presume.

No, actually Hawk has it right. It does not matter if it is in PvP or PvE, a leet player just does their job 'nuf said.

Just like in real life, anything that have spent time on and has gotten success.
I would say, most Gwamm's are pretty leet, not that it's hard, but nothing is in GW... It's just dedication.
Leet I think is a wide term, you can be a leet Powertrader/pvp'er/PvE'er/collector or whatever.
If you have skills, good titles and know how to make cash/trade I'd say ur pretty leet.
But that's just me.

Many things can make individuals feel someone is Leet.
•Achievements can make you appear Leet.
•Running an active Guild can make you appear Leet.

However I know what isn't Leet.
•Buying gold to purchase items and therefore not earnt to be seen as Leet.
•Only playing assassin.
•Relying on guild and alliance to do everything and putting no effort in and eventually getting Achievements through this.
•Letting everyone in your group listen to your crap chit chat as soon as something goes wrong. Pulling group together and winning would be Leet.

I have to agree. Being leet is not what you say. It's not acting leet, but how you treat those around you. Being friendly and helpful helps a lot.

The only real leet players in this game are the ones who makes the builds, all the 99% sheeps copy, who invented 55 is leet 600/smite is leet, sabway is leet, top guilds are leet, all others are only mindless sheeps who think they are more than they really are only for grinding 2000 hours with copied wikibuilds to buy e-peen stuff.

so:

You invented build everyone copies: You are leet
You copy builds or make builds that sucks: You suck, doesn't matter if you have all the mini pandas of the game, you suck. Enough saying

55 is a classic build that no one person created, rather plenty of different people took the idea of taking 5 damage with 55 life from PS and went from there. not just one person, that's absolutely ridiculous. you must be very new to the game if you don't remember all the variants of 55 monk builds that were being passed around in its prime.

same with 600/smite. evolved through many different people through trial and error to the standard it is now.

and 'sabway' is stupid, people have been using MM/SS necro hero combinations to benefit from SR since nightfall release, adding an old school spiritway n/rt to the mix was an absolute no-brainer and is way too obvious for any one person to be taking credit for.

and by the way you've used one of those builds before, so by your own asinine standards you suck. how's that make you feel, champ?

Actually, the very first 55 monks were 105 monks. It took somebody noticing and suggesting the usage of the -50 cesta (which... is a really obscure item to get when you think about it) here on guru for it to become popular.

This, there are some people in the game who make you feel like a good player, you have fun and play the best you ever did in their company. I am lucky, I know a few

"leet" is a nonsense word that does not exist in the dictionary and its symptoms are not clearly defined we can also state with reasonable certainty that there is no clear way of diagnosing "leetness" or evidence that the condition exists at all.

recommended treatment is administration of a placebo and submit for psychiatric evaluation.

As far as I can tell being 'leet' a bit like playing 'the game' WHICH YOU HAVE ALL JUST LOST, if you are not aware of it then you have it.

what is leet..its the ability to help others out when needed,the common sense not to put down others build but offer constructive criticism. to walk away from being called "whatever" without sounding like an A..hole.and most importantly just being with your online freinds and enjoying the game....

What makes a person 1337? Being the first, the leader, the innovator, that first top gvg team, those first farm build makers, those first people to face own everything in pve, that first bastard to get a usable rank emote. Everyone who has come after is a mimic in some way.

In other words, fifteen year old kids in your moms basement talking shiz in HA ID1, this won't make you leet, and never will, stop trying, quit being an arsehat, and just play the freaking game for i don't know....fun?

I would word it better, though. Leadership. People who complain about PUGs from what I've seen lack leadership and communication skills.

Being "Leet" at the game has nothing to do with how much equip, armors, gold etc you have. They are by-products not the actual cause.

It's all about just being...Good...Knowing the skills, knowing the builds, knowing how to react in situations, not making mistakes, positioning. Of course only a few of these actually apply to PvE, it only becomes obvious whether you're good at the rest once you start to PvP.
