Who am I?
I was born in Ascalon 20 years before the charr invasion. I died at THK, and it was the monk's fault. Simple as that. I should have beeen getting priority healing and protection. When groups were aggroed, no matter how large the group is, I should have beeen able to tide the whole battle out at full health. The rest of the party should have beeen at full health too. When I was not at full health it meant that I was not getting the appropriate healing and protection which my very position deserves. I was good at what I do, but I died all the same. The last player standing in the battle did not have res.

NEWS FLASH! Monks on strike at Thunderhead Keep

Wow... look at this... it's gotten ANET's attention:
L I G H T
Lol, monks don't realize how easy they actually have it, they can get into a group np, but for us warriors, we have to spam our asses off to get a decent pug group...monks can go suck a brick..

by the way id like to say..monks can deal damage..armor ignoring damage, called smite. holy damage. people always underestimate it but its amazingly powerful |

wen u do get in a group, i hope u dont run off into a massive aggro, coz if u r please..dont
monks have it easy getting into groups, but a reliable, patient group, one that co-operates and listens to each other, now thats hard to find. even in guildie groups

I'm a solo Warrior now(thanks to Racoth =)) with over 1500 hours under my belt, I think I know what I'm doing.. btw monks don't have anything to complain about, Mesmers are the most un-tapped class..

While I am aware that this probably isn't going to happen it's certainly not going to stop me from calling them out on it. As for monks dealing damage allow me to say that Smite damage, and yes I've done a smiter so I know, is only really good against undead and demonic enemies. Against other types well I'd rather take my chances with a pointy stick than rely on smite damage. No wait let me clarify. Not a pointy stick but a Q tip with enough waxy residue to make one end kinda hard. To compare the damage that a pointy stick could cause to smite damage against anything other than the aforementioned enemy types is an insult to pointy sticks everywhere.

Just forget this whole thing. was a joke that went too far. aye, i was part of it..was fun..till ppl took it personally and started abusing the monks, now its just a name calling war..pretty silly really.
Guardian of the Light
Your right L I G H T. We should make a PvE version of IWAY.
Then all the Warriors, Rangers, Nerco would get groups. Then we won't need monks or elementists anymore.

well I know I am not showing up there with my monk.
Jericho Of Druss
light..i got a solo monk and warrior 2k hours...dont really prove much, i know what im doing, plus! i wasnt even mentioning mesmers..
i do like playing as mesmer..its fun.
like i said, its hard to find a reliable, co-opereative group for all classes..but if it fails, its usually the monks fault! *rolls eyes* and guardian, a monk team can handle itself =P not causing an argument..im just saying.

Screenies plz

*GWN* Isaiah Cartwright is in Dist1 organizing the strike. As soon as possible, this reporter shall have proof up. Mina Drakul reporting
L I G H T
I'm just saying that all classes should be treated the same...not one class it "better" then the rest..and no I'm not a stereo type at monks..
[FnG] Lazz
The protest should have been in the International district so us Euro's can join in on the fun 
Esprit
Gaile Gray is District 4 of Thunderhead Keep too.
Jericho Of Druss
*rolls eyes* < usually means sarcastic...
OMFGimCUTE
ppl are on strike in THK. all the monks there are pissed of and its in america district btw
Jericho Of Druss

Its Monktastic
A little, "Catch Izzy":

This is laughable. There is nothing to strike for, but I have a monk so I really don't mind.
Vevila
I hear Gaile is in D4, but I can't get in due to everyone flocking to see if it's true.
acidic artist
im really loving this. being a monk is my favorite thing to do on gw. i just got outta there from around a 45 min warrior bashing session. now mesmers and eles are joining in on the action. i am VERY surprised to say that i seen a couple warriors actually supporting us monks with our decision
Harmony
Gaile is indeed in D4; my monk is there. Isaiah seems to be doing more with the actual strike though.
Update: Gaile is actually now asking what she can do to help the monks. GO US!

Gaile supports the strike, but right now she's just there talking about factions and preorders and stuff, and messing around.
Harmony
Yep, in D1, Isaiah was actually organizing it; it was wild!
fiery
Man, it's a game yet people stand idle to idiotic requests? Strike for what? Nothing that's what, we can HENCHIE the mission, or 2 man it with henchies. The end. If you can stand and repeat the same things over and over, than wow, you bought a game to do nothing.
sh4ft3d
Man, crap like this is stupid. Only incompetent jerks blame anything on the monks, and they should be smart enough to realize this. Doing this isnt going to make anybody like monks more than they already do. (as for the strike, its pointless. I can easily finish THK with all henchies. on my WAMMO. whatever.)
XvArchonvX
I hope there is someone kind enough out there to record everything that was said by Gaile and Isaac.
Loralai
I came in late D4 TK...Gaile is essentially answering questions about Factions, the strike, helms, etc.. Taking screenies will post asap.
bad news though...from what I am gathering..I see Lieutenant's Helm saying adios in the future.

Apparently due to everyone fussing about Lieutenant's Helm, Gaile went to see if it was going to get nerfed , removed, whatever.
Gaile, as mysterious as always, says antipicate a balancing of the HoD helmet in the future and don't go spend all your cookies on it.

I think giving complements to monks on healing is more than enough.
Monks have already gotten more than they deserve, they have gotten more than all other 5 proffesions combined --> 55 UW solo remember anyone?
So they should be the last profession in Tyria, Cantha and the 3rd campaign continent to complain about not getting respect?
Are monks special? well..every class is special, I dont see nukers, rangers, warriors, mesmers or necros demanding 'special' attention for doing their job, its just the monks.
I agree taking Aggro warriors who screw up everything are bad for the game, but you dont alone suffer..there are 4 other players besides monks who loose the mission too!
And why do you want to be at the bottom of the party list? if monks have so much problem, what keeps them from leading from the front? You hand it over to a warrior and then you blame them for it..
You know a couple of questions can make you figure who dumb a warrior is, there is no denying warriors are dumb lol...i got a warrior too...and i must admit i got this Getting-Dumb-Complex when I started playing Warrior after finishing the game with my Ele...but I learned.
Harmony
Well, the developers have left the building. Just came back from D1 and D4, both Gaile and Isaiah have gone.
Vevila
Gaile is in LA, International D2.
Its Monktastic
Just in! Gaile Gray Talks about Pre-release (sorry about the size):
Rayne Nightfyre
I'm not taking this event too seriously, but those who are taking it seriously and whining, complaining, etc need to be slapped. Monks do not "deserve" anything, are nothing particularly special, but one of the 6 existing professions which happens to focus primarily on keeping the party alive. I'm not putting them down at all, I love playing as a Healer on my Monk. But the people who say monks are underappreciated, taken advantage of, and so on have no ground to rightfully say this.
