Ok some pine brain started to do the whole drawing thing yesterday while doing the riverside mission.

Needless to say I was thinking of quiting, it really depends on bad it gets... in the end we allowed this person to die. Well since he figured it was a good idea to rush one of the white mantal watch towers.

He went nuts swearing, drawing all sorts since we wouldn't res him, in the end he gave up and left.



And yes he did draw penises... many many at that.

I really dont see anything funny about drawing on the mini map whatever is drawn is only scribble a five year would draw stick drawings
it just bugs me when ur in the middle of a mission and drawing directions someone has to add their scribble cant be bothered with twit who have a small mind thinking they are funny
only wish you could find out who was doing it so and be able to kick them off the team

How about drawing huge members on the map ironically? Theres nothing like sketching an enormous wang on the map then sitting back and smiling at your fantastic self-depreciating joke. Oh how I laugh. Irony has got to be the highest form of humour...

lol putting a little stick drawing of your 2 inch manhood is nothing to be proud of

best thing they can do is put in a tag the one doing the drawings and giving the leader the right to boot end of story and anymore problems well leaders fault for not dealing with it
some people get their kicks trying to piss others off why give them the pleasure just KICK THEM

Funny... so far the biggest supporters of penile drawings have been Nad and EverBlue.

Leader boots, now the team has only 7 players to beat the mission with, and according to statistics, 5 of those 7 are morons.

Good luck!

What Anet should do is make it so you can turn the mini map off if you dont want to see it.

You can turn most of the other windows off but this one you cant move or resize or anything.

And as for people drawing on the mini map. If you are in a PuG unfortunatly you do get a few ppl who enjoy pratting about on it.

If you are playing a mission and are not sure how to do it and are relying on the group leaders to guide you then it is annoying to have there guide lines scribbled over and in some cases can cause a mission to fail.

If all you want to do is scribble on the mini map why dont you just enter a mission solo and scribble to your hearts content. Hell take screenshots if you like so you can play with yourself in bed over colour printouts but if you dont know the people in the group why annoy them ?

If its because you enjoy annoying them then yes you are immature and also a moron with probably a single digit IQ but heh you got your mommy to buy you the game so I guess we can only blame her for being a slapper and giving birth to you.

Indeed, I'd have to agree with you on that one. This, and a slew of other group related issues, can be fixed with a well thought out kick system + hench replacement.

Just a couple words/spellings tipped me off is all. Purely a curiosity thing and nothing more. You use the "u" in colour, for example.

Im not really offended by peoples need to draw penises all over my minimap in the middle of a mission but i find it irritating and childish. What annoys me even more are people that draw directions that dont know where they are going and people that write STFU on the map when they dont like being told how to do a mission. If you wanna start a slanging match then at least be man enough to do it in chat and not hide behind the fact that the map doesnt have your name on it.

I think maybe the symbol next to your name when drawing would be a good idea, colours would confuse me and probably more complicated to implement

just thinking it might be better if the drawer had an aura of say yellow when they are drawing on the map or a star around them like the triangle one
easier that way

well the whole icon thing will work, but just seeing who is doing it doesnt seem to be enough, i mean what if they do it at the same time as the leader is drawing plans.. things could get confusing...

Wow, you people are sure driving home the "childish/immature/10 year old" thing. im sorry but being intelligent, over the age of ten, and mature have absolutely nothing to do with this. Ever been to a college campus? find someone who is passed out drunk and you'll see the same thing drawn all over their face. (this happens at yale too, where my cousin attends med school.) You forget this is a GAME, and not real life. oh no a penis! boohoo! If you are so seriously offended, dont play the game at all. If everyone was so offended by the sight of a penis none of us would be here. I think you should grow up if you're so absolutely offended and upset by it, in a museam its art, in guild wars you're worse then hitler... hmmm.. right. If you depend on someone elses drawing to get by on a mission, then you're one of the people i want to avoid grouping with.

Enjoy it on your own time, google it, draw pictures, look at it for hours and hours, just keep it out of my favourite game

Those who find it funny to scribble on the minimap immediately show their true character.

What do you think about past bombers, rapists or serial killers who did such bad deeds because they found it enjoyable or amusing? Would you support them or be against them?

I suppose it really depends on one's perception.

Ever think that those who draw these things on the mini-map are doing it because it gets a rise out of you?

Maybe you should stop blaming your failure of the mission on the guy drawing penises, and more on the fact that you're spending too much time fascinating over this mini-map then actually playing the game.

I don't know about you guys, but I alway's think I've found a cracker of a group when someone doesn't have the desire to draw penises and breasts for 10 minutes or longer.

Hahahahah what a moron. Wtf does that have to do with drawing a penis or breast on the minimap. Ian take think about my suggestion in my previous post, it'll save you a lot of trouble in life.

Anyway you're all dull human beings with no sence of humor. I don't start laughing my ass off when someone does it, but I smile and know the guy im playing with isn't a tight ass homo like the lot of you.

EDIT: Not sure if homos can be tight assed, I have the Supreme Court working on the verdict, and it will be posted as soon as they have come to a decision.

It's flat out obnoxious, no matter what's being drawn. Why would you defend someone being obnoxious/rude/inconsiderate?

Reminds me of people who take out their cellphone in a library or movie theater and talk for longer than it takes to say 'I can't talk right now, I'll call you later'.

It took me a few weeks to have a group containing a member who felt the need to draw genitals on the map.

I think something identifying who is writing on the radar map, but not because I've been offended by other people's taste in art.

The reason I feel it should be done is because I want to know who just drew that arrow pointing off in some random direction is. I really hate it when someone who thinks they know where their going (or are just griefing the team) draws in the wrong direction and confuses everyone else.

You are wrong there: before the internet got so widespread, people only made love in bed, under the blankets, with lights off and their eyes closed.
