Hmm... There was one time a few years ago some guy helped me and a few other newblets through the frost gate... And that's the only instance of someone being kind to me in the game that I didn't know.

Good times.

Best things someone ever did for me on GW?
Letting me in their pvp guild.
I had no GvG experience and only won two HA rounds before that,but they still let me in, and I am very happy that they did.

Rank discrimination is fair.
We've earned our ranks, higher ranked teams generally do better, so we discriminate.
It's not being an asshole, it's taking reasonable precautions to know that your team mates know what they're doing.

I don't see many ranked people complaining. It's just a case of wanting something you can't have.

I beat Rotscale and vanquished Majesty's Rest with heroes and henchmen. That's my cheer.

I was told Necromancers are useless in the Fissure of Woe. That's my jeer.

best thing for me? Joining the Alliance I was/am in, joining up with others and finally beating this game after a few years in the wilderness wandering on my own

Oh, and owning the game as a beast master after reading everywhere that pets are crap

Next time your doing that give me a call please :3.


Nice things I've done for people: Gave an r9 Vspear to a friend, Run Proph missions/Run to outposts for free, Help random people in RA set up their PvE armor so they don't have 400 health and superior runes, random other stuff.


Nice things people have done for me: This one thing sticks out. Many many many years ago, when it was only Proph, I went on a Droknars run. Saving up that 4 plat at the time was pretty hard for me. The runners were a wife and husband, and they gave me the run for free AND on top of that they paid for armor and dyes for my character. I was so happy, I still have that character in that exact same armor.


Whee kind of went overboard but :3.

I don't even remember what Nick was collecting that week but...

After farming and getting Nick gifts, if I have leftovers, I look for someone WTB and give them my extras. This particular time, they ran back to me and opened trade and gave me an ecto. It was a week in which the collectible was dirt cheap and easy to farm, they just wanted to say thanks.

Also, I don't think there's been a time where I didn't get a tyvm when giving something out. I really appreciate that. I have a guildie who stopped helping people because he's never received a thanks. I mean, I don't do it to get the ty, but it's nice to know the help was appreciated.


I wish I could remember his name... I was trying to self-learn a raptor farming build (warrior) and I could get every raptor but the boss. I asked in local and this person actually came out with me, had me die so I could watch him make a few runs, then came out and died to watch me make the runs. He spent a good half hour or more giving me pointers. A gift of your time is priceless! If you're a guru member and you read this, thanks again!

The other day I was selling stuff in Kama. A guy/girl pm's for my Margonite gems. We don't agree on a price and someone else buys em right then. First person pm's that they'll buy em.

I apologize and tell him/her that i got my asking price and thus don't have them anymore. We go back and forth for a minute about how I'm sorry I just sold em and how he/she is glad I got my asking price. Then we laugh about how polite we're being. It was surreal.

In a sense, we're paying the people at Anet, who are unable to perform their tasks correctly.
I have to disagree here.

First off, the Live Team is a small fraction of the ANet employee base because everyone else is working on GW2

Second, to me a college degree doesnt really mean squat. There are those out there which could do all the stuff without having one, and there are those out there with one which others have to fix their mistakes

a guild friend logged to my account when the costumes were there, few days before christmas, bought me the costumes, and on the christmas day, he told me to go great temple of balthazar to get my present. And he asked me to talk to the costume maker.



Other than that, I always do free eotn tours, or with tips if anybody wants to pay, to the guys from gunnar's hold. Or run the beginning missions in every campaign

i hate to go slightly off topic, but this is kind of the problem with the newer players.

giving them free stuff and running them through missions doesnt help them at all. the early missions in each game are there to teach newer players the basics of the game.

same goes for the desert missions. those are supposed to be the basic first experience of pvp HA maps. then after a perma sin runs them through all the missions, and they want to go HA, theyre left going 'WTF RELICZZZZZ HOW DUZ DIS WURK?. AND WILL THIS GHOST STOP FOLLOWING ME!'

you can give a new playert the baddest sword around, and he'll think he is the hardest mother trucker in the game. but does he understand the stats on his weap? has he put the right att points in? probably not.

the nicest thing you can do in this game is help people to understand what theyre doing. not help them bypass it.

I can do Fort Ranik HM in my sleep, but only have a 50% success rate running to Thommis with my brand new perma. Is that a bad thing to admit?

I have to agree, but sadly, I'm 95% sure almost every new player will prefer having max weaps and armor rather than get helpful advices.

Agreed. It is why I was glad I joined a guild that help me to beat the game rather than pay/get a runner to run me through. There seems to be that added sense of accomplishment when actually beating it

I usually help people out of nothing if I see they're not morons and their issues seems to be genuine and not stuff like "plz give me 50g to open my storage".

I can't really remember being helped on any meaningful way, sure, I've had many free/test runs to droks, someone once ran varesh on HM for me for free (but since it was a guildie it doesn't really count). Although, on the other hand, I never really asked for help on anything, so I can't complain.

Good GvG Guild letting me join them in GvG, very patient, no shouting over ventrilo, nice calming manly voice, hehehe c and occassional HA, although they have been disbanded. Some have gone on to become very good HA and GvG guild of their own, most have more important real life things to do. Hope they return for GW2, but doubtful.

players giving free runs for HM mission master runs.
players answering nicely to question you ask.
players giving you their good skill templates, these people don't even know me lol, and they are really nice, one of them defeated me in RA, even told me how to use the skill, when and how to keep up energy, what weapon and armour to use.
players giving me undedicated mini pet! in times of need. (i lost all mine)

Many if i want to list them, over the years. good players I meet out weight bad players.

First off I'm a pve scrub but back in the day I was r5 and making a group for HA. The group all of a sudden filled up with r10-r13 players they were all drunk and so was I. We talked smack and ran some good runs. Those guys were great players and over time taught me how to play my role and about positioning and what not. Even today when I get the urge they let me into their groups.
