Every once in a while I meet someone who claims his build is secret and doesn't want to reveal it. At the same time, he has no problem asking for other people's builds (how hypocritical is that?).
What I'd like to know is, does anyone here use the same tactic of keeping their builds secret?
What is the actual benefit of this? Is it trade secret or mere vanity? Note: this isn't about farming builds. It's about playing builds (missions / vanquish etc).

For instance, today I meet a guy. I tell him what's my build after he tells me he doesn't know what AP mesmer is since he hasn't played with a mesmer in 3 years (lol). Then he tells me I'm not good enough for Discord team and that he wants only SoS (ok, fair enough, his choice). Now, this was after I wanted to help him vanquish an area in EotN. So I was curious what his super-build must be (since I can easily vanq eotn real fast with just heroes n henchies), but alas, he said he made 2 builds in this game and doesnt want to reveal them. Not even just elite skill. I mean, come on what the hell, I posted many great builds on GWO and Guru (albeit mostly with my old nick in the good old days), and couldn't care less how many people would use them. But he made *2* builds which must be special of course. You see, he is working on his GWAMM title. No one else will be able to achieve that title without his super-builds, or it will take insanely longer. PS: he kills in 2,5 seconds and if you guys cant kill in 2,5 seconds you're not worth his time. He will ask you to the guild hall to kill him within 2,5 sec :>
How do you get friends?
Super-secret builds, vanity or trade secret?

No, that's just dumb.
And chances are he just copied his build off PvXwiki and maybe made some slight changes to it by replacing a skill or two.
If they go out of their way to tell people that their build is secret or if they have one, then they're just seeking attention. Whenever people refuse to show me their builds and tell me it's a secret, I just tell them that it's okay and then I proceed to boot them out of the party for being a dumbass.

IMO chances are his build sucks and if someone criticized it his world would collapse and he wouldn't be super cool anymore in his head. Also, by using word "secret" he expects a lot of awe I guess.
But check this out, if I went as Rt SoS with him on a vanquish, how would he use that build without me seeing it?

When someone refuses to share their build I kick them.
There build probably sucks and they probably have some kind of god complex.

When someone refuses to tell me their build, I assume that it's terrible and that they're embarrassed by it.
