"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

How funny it would be to have the Gw packs work the same way as the old D&D bags of holding.

Anyone who played that would remember them and what happened if they were damaged by a sharp object and everything was lost in another dimension null space I think they called it.

And the cursed versions Bags of Devouring and Transmuting

Ok it wouldn't be that funny I guess.

Why is the most expensive armor made with obsidian? It's glass, ffs. Who makes armor out of GLASS? and who pays to replace those glass studs when they get hit by a large piece of metal?

And now it's going to be on my mind.

Where did Nicholas the Traveler get an infinite supply of powerful items, and how come only he has access to them? How come no bandits have ever raided him to take everything?

What is Yakkington a professor of, and why is he named that when he doesn't talk?

@ A11Eur0: Obsidian is many different things, why don't our characters throw up white tissues when we have obsidian in our storage? Or how can we get obsidians in small pink roundings when obsidian is pure energy? lol xD

After a few hundred thousand trillion years, immortality gets real boring, I assure you. I've only had one opportunity to be mortal again, but it was only a couple of hundred years after becoming immortal so I figured another one would come along as an when I wanted them, no biggy I thought.

Yeah well that showed me. Anybody gaining immortality now, first piece of advice I give is "Get out. As soon as you possibly can."

Why do I have to give my heroes runes, insignias and weapons when they get their share of drops? Either give me their share or they equip themselves D:<

How did heroes become infused? (was pondering this yesterday when I went to infuse my new armour)

How are my heroes available at every outpost when they don't travel with me through explorable areas? Same deal with henchies: how do they get from one town to the next when they can barely keep themselves alive in my party (WiK being the example here: Alesia suicides all the time, isn't infused and yet she can get from LA to Beetletun past the White Mantle?)

It's in the same place as the quiver and the spear case too.

And nevermind all of those things... the important thing is...

I think that's the whole point of the elite armor, "look at how magical my armor is, it's made of GLASS and is still just a great!"

Its a good thing our armor is magical, because some styles wouldnt protect you from a spitwad.

And why Shiro wants to be mortal again, its all in the movies and TV shows about ghosts. The undead/ghosts want to be among the living again. Death sucks.

The henchies, theorectically, are travelling with you in your party. So when they show up in the towns all over the map, its because they came with you when you walked there.

Oh lots of stuff.....

Anyone here have a Level 20 Ritualist? Do you have any difficulty finishing Minister Cho's Estate or Zen Daijun completely solo in normal mode? So why does Togo die if we take our eyes off him for 5 seconds??????

We can die countless times in a dungeon or quest and simply rez, but if we die during a mission its "game over"!

When my character has to lug around the Scepter of Orr in Sanctum Cay, why can't she fight with the thing. It's supposed to be a powerful staff, so why can't i use it as a weapon just like any other staff......or at least knock someone over the head with the thing.

Good thing the bad guys aren't smart enough to come at us en masse. Kinda like the Battle for Lion's Arch. What if all those red dots at the gate just flooded into the city at once. LOL, you think it's challenging now!!

From the books, Ghosts of Ascalon and Edge of Destiny....if Rurik's and King Aldebarn's swords are so darn special, why do we have a gazillion copies of them ingame. I think it would have been better if Rurik had a special skin for his sword that didn't exist for player weapons.

We die. We rez. NPCs die, we have a funeral. Sometimes. EotN tag-alongs rez randomly but yet some die permanently. (Spoiler for end of G.O.L.E.M.) Even Kieran. Lord knows I got that guy killed often enough while stumbling thru those solo jungle missions, yet he lived to re-unite with Gwen.

Our newbie Canthan characters are all eager and excited to be chosen to study at the monastery under Master Togo and his teachers......yet those same headmasters are level 10??? Seriously. Level 10. Ummm, exactly how good is this school anyways? And when something serious starts happening, we're the ones Togo picks to help solve it? That's like the United States being invaded by a foreign power and the ROTC high school students being called to the front line to fight rather than the military officers.

I need 10 more sweet tooth points for the title. Can I eat the candy cane bow?

On the other hand, would you eat a birthday cupcake that a flesh golem just dropped? I don't think so!!!!

Our characters come from much hardier stuff than we do. Seriously, if you were on fire would you continue to fight or would you be rolling on the ground screaming?

They magically conjure it back to their hands, like arrows. Magic, it doesn't have to make sense although I wish it did.

Meteor Shower, a force that can cause the end of life as we know it yet it's pretty pathetic in terms of damage. Decapitate for gods sake. Our characters aren't sturdy, their so weak!

Why are Base Defenders guarding the resurrect shrines and not the actual base?
Instead of killing players that walk in, why not teleport them away? This doesn't make any sense when it comes to game design...

Why don't Keiran and Gwen start bickering when I put them in my party (as heroes)? I mean, it's not like it's a perfect, love-at-first-sight, Disney(TM) marriage. Plus Gwen doted on Keiran alllllll the time (before he cut his dang ponytail)...

The thing that always struck me kinda suspicious or rather just confused was the Cracked Armor condition....

Cracked Armor: Reduces your AL by 20 but minimum is 60...(Doesn't even affect Caster Armors without a Armor buffer)
Counter Argument: Caster armor has certain 'Magical' properties to it that reduces the effects of Cracked Armor.
Sure, i'll believe that i guess...

Cracked Armor (like all conditions) eventually fade away. 0_o
So.........our armor magically repairs itself?....ok sure....

The thing that always bugged me the most out of all of this are Healer's abilities to remove the Cracked Armor condition.
So...they can heal, protect, AND repair other people's armor!? Well shouldn't they be able to fashion me a set of Obby armor too if they can just as easily repair it?

on the subject of stuff we pick up (that cupcake...ew) just how are we carrying those smoking remains? (or any of the other remains)...do we carry sample jars or something with us? and WHY would I want to even pick UP a gruesome ribcage????? ...not to mention the putrid cysts, masses and other such monster goo (not even going to start on the ecto).....????
thinking about those makes me ill (if you really think about it).

I don't see what's wrong with that. I stand like that all the time in real life. Heck, it's my 'relaxed' standing pose.

In fact a few weeks ago I was standing like that, and someone told me to stand up straight. I shifted my knees a bit and tried to stand straight, but I kept ending up in the same pose. I gave her a dumbfounded expression on my face and told her I couldn't do it.

Thanks to Anet it only does that for a few seconds. Since Ogden and his love for standing in lava would be dead in seconds instead of the normal 30 seconds.

As Thackeray can clone himself, why didn't he send one of him to Kryta while the other him stayed with Gwen? Alternatively why didn't both of him decide to go to Kryta so that the job could have been done quicker? Or does Thackeray actually have an identical twin?
