That screen looks fantastic Zeph! That's definitely the best home for them, and they are a LOT rarer than peeps think. Glad you can give them the recognition they deserve.
Nah guys, nerfed 1 off unbelievably epic is where it's at with Q7's. lol
EDIT: BTW Kabong & Kromp win "hands down" when it comes to epic Q7's.

wow ive just browsed this thread quite a bit and must admit theres several jaw-dropping collections in here. very inspiring, i think ima get a bit more seriously into the collecting game after just randomly collecting stuffs with not much rhyme or reason. guess the very late 2k14 is indeed late to do so but better than never right?
to start off i wanna show my newly aquired magmas shield (bought from EK, ty again) alongside with some other tyrian goodness
such a cute couple, isnt it?

Everybody starts somewhere. Collecting is a calling. Many are called but few are chosen. Ask for help if you need it. We don't bite. Well ok, a couple of us might bite
Choose what you want to collect. Find a niche that isn't collected already and make it your own. That's the best way to get started. But bear in mind that you'll have to fund it somehow... When I started, my thought process was 'rare shields... How expensive can it actually be?' Boy was I in for a surprise.
Good luck on your journey.

Hey friends, finally getting around to sharing what I think is (almost) the entirety of my collection on Guru. I'm sure there are things I missed.
It has taken me a very long while to find all these items, but it reflects some of the most fun I've had in any video game. I've met a lot of great people, and many of them have very generously helped me put this little collection together. In particular, I want to thank Salva, Kromp, Kabong, Coffee, Mai, Surge, Shadowfell, Tooburns, Vizi, Zephyr, Pleikki (<3), EnchantedKrystal, Max, Gregor, Spazi, Trip, Kuba, ZSplit, Gentleman, GimeYourEctoplasm, Kasper, Yoji, PawningJock, Luny, Ling, Olle, Handler and all the other people who helped me make this possible.
Many of you are gone now, but there's no doubt that I couldn't have done this without y'all--as a wise man once said: "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
Anyway--without further ado, the items:
I'd like to say I'll keep playing as much as I used to, but that's probably not the case. I've been getting busier and busier as of late, and even a low input/effort game like GW is becoming harder for me to be active in. I consider these items my magnum opus, and they truly encapsulate the fun times and friendships I've made over my years playing this game. That being said my activity level is probably gonna drop pretty heavily. That doesn't mean that the next time a good fire item comes on the market I'm letting it slip by me though!
And, as always, remember: "We are the Academy [PhD]. This is who we are; this is what we do; this is what we like!"
Love you all,
Yuko

Yuko, the fact that your obsession with Elements has branched over into Shields aswell, really makes me shed a manly tear.
People lately gained more interest in those items and that fills my heart with pride of my labour and everyones work that Embraces them too.
Without a doubt all the chosen people are Unique links of their own, in this magnificent chain we embody.
We, this chain, is what makes [PhD] a legend of the past, present, and future.

I want to thank Showtime for adding the most amazing piece I believe I shall ever own from here on out (2005-2007 era not included!). I dont think it gets much better then this, at least not for me. Rest assured it shall be safe in my hands for the rest of Guild Wars's life.
Probably the hardest thing Ive ever had to customize, but I wanted to prove that I dont talk the collector game, I am a collector.

Grats Kairi!
It took great inner strength not to bid against you any higher for that beauty. I'm delighted you brought it to our vaults in [PhD] though. Nice work.

I Might not have as nice items as everyone here, or as many.
Mainly because i sold almost all i had before i quit and then lost all,
so had to start from nothing now when came back.
But here they are, My dear Vivian quinns Chesting/kama equipment.
I have done my best getting myself little piece of gw's history,
and i hope it doesnt end here.
Swords, Made by finest weaponsmiths in tyria
Axes, Made by greatest weaponsmiths in cantha
Hammers, Made by mighty soldiers in the battlefield
Shields, Collected from ppl that died in Kryta
Hope you enjoyed even tinyest bit looking at these, my treasures.
Theyre not all here tho, im sure i got some hidden somewhere and wont bother search ;D

You have been busy, Pleikki. Very busy. Very busy indeed. And it looks like the work has paid off. Very nice work.
At the other end of the busy scale, since I retired from spending hours in Kamadan searching for treasures, I was approached by two seperate people today who had some items for me :
Thanks to Vizi for the Tall shield, and the other two were offered to me in Kamadan. Seems that I don't have to put in the hours these days - I have people who do that for me now

Ikki, you might be my longest lasting GW mate. Awesome stuff, always adored the r7's especially the axes. Sorry about Bog, had some other stuff to do tonight
Enchanted Krystal
Pleikki, those Q8 +5e Brute & Broad take my breath away. Well done, such wonderful items bro, keep the faith.
And Max, I totally agree with Kromp when he said "Good luck to anyone who attempts to cause you physical damage under almost any circumstance." xD

Damn taya, impressive stuff
First thing that caught my attention, is that q8 fire staff with +1, why?
Not only it holds two rare mods, if stripped youre the only guy i'v seen with a Clean q8 pre nerf staff.
And thats just hella pro.
Edit: i wants QQ

The Details:
The Standard.
The cute sets.

1. Long standing (perhaps obsessive?) dedication to a particular skin.
2. A very impressive number already gathered of said particular skin.
3. A willingness to go the extra mile in order to acquire said particular skin.
4. Posessing some very rare examples of said particular skin.
5. No signs of ceasing this behaviour.
Red, you are an example to all of us of how a collector should be. I salute you.
And to all the aspiring collectors out there : THIS is how you do it. Learn from Red's dedication.
Max
Ps, please alert your representatives to expect a call from our representatives. Again.

I could not believe it when I saw it. Progress towards completing this obsessive collection has been made and it is now all down to the final axe.

Probably better to keep that information to myself....
