OMG... so im on my lunch brake and decide to get on GW for a game or 2 or PVP in the random team arena over @ lions arch, well i get put in a team of 4 Warriors including myself, i am a W/Mes then there is: 2 W/Monk (ofcorse the most popular combo in the game) and 1 W/R.

Well we got peaired up with another W team 2 W/Monk 1 W/N 1 W/E all 8 of us were non hammer it was 5 swords and 3 axes.

Well i must say that the W/Monks on both teams did an exelent job of using Whatever limited healing availability they had to keep the rest of us alive, butto make a long story short this was BY FAR the best battle ive ever been on.

Reasons for this were the folloing:

1) Like good W no one ran we all stayed in the same spot.

2) We all used our skills to the max and with cunning.

And finaly 3) the best reason y this was a gr8 battle we were going at it for over an hour.

PS. yep u know it i was late for work.

So let me get this straight. You spent an hour in just a random PvP match, were late for work, and think it was a "gr8" match?

YEH see unlike ur average pvp`er i dont play just to kill a hole team in 15 seconds and then start talking smak to them, i play for the thrill of victory knowing that i dint just get lucky and my opponent was an idiot that dint know how to use their skills.

Thx for the back up corax5, but its ok let them flame their probly the same sort of ppl that im talking about that play the game for 1 thing and 1 thing only to get items so they can then go to LA and start yelling WTS THIS, WTS THAT!!! Not thinking about the long run... See what u ppl fail to realize is that in 6 months to a year Anet will release some new game and EVRYONE that plays GW will go to that new game and then all your items and all your gold will be useless and youll feel like the bigest A-hole in the world for spending that much time on your PC playing for hours on end for somthing that gave u no REAL benefit.

Zun, it's a game. It isn't real. So being late for work and sacrificing something out of your real life isn't a good idea.

Well i thank u for the comment but im not really sacrificing anything since i own my company i only said i was late for work couse of the fact that i lead by example, and stress with my employees the importance of being on time, or do u really think anyone can play GW @ work unless they are the boss?

So now you're going to make judgements even though you know nothing about me? If, and when ANet releases a new game, I won't feel like an asshole because I had fun collecting items and gold, despite the fact that it will have no use in life.

Maybe the reason I don't see your game as great, is because of lack of details. You give vauge descriptions, such as "We all used our skills to the max and with cunning." which don't really tell me anything at all.

In addition, how could the battle have lasted for over an hour? If you were really using your skills so well, how could each team survive for so long without any real form of healing? A warrior's mana pool is small, to say the best, and with little regeneration, and high damage, I can't see how the battle lasted so long.

a match of 8 cookie cutter warrior builds doesn't sound like that much fun to me...it took an hour because none of you could do enough damage to kill the other...not because you guys were amazingly cunning.

Exacly a W energy is so low that u have to depend mostly on your weapon and a W Hp and armor (especialy with shiels) is so high that a weapons dmg isnt significant at all, thats how the battle lasted that long.

Damn! I wish I participated in that match! I missed out on a gr8 event, again.

But then again, I don't know how to use my skills to the max and with cunning!

For those wondering about the posts attacking spelling and grammar choices, that's why. This forum does have rules regarding using proper english, and unlike spelling 'like' as 'liek' (an accidental typo, I hope anyway), this person made a conscious choice to replace portions of words with symbols. In other words, they chose intentionally to break the rules of the forum, and as we all know, ignorance is not a defence for breaking the law.

Like it or hate it, this isn't the topic to debate it.

I'm glad you had fun in the arena. That's about the only thing I do in Guild Wars anymore as well.

This is the funniest thread I've read in a bit.

If it's real, it's hilarious. If he made it all up, classic n00bspeak and all, it's even better. And what tops it off is that he got uptight people to respond with flames.

Gr8!!!!!1!1!1!!!!1

Whether implied or explicit, people are telling him to get a life, but at the same time, are making such a big deal over this one particular battle. Who really cares!!! The OP was just sharing his exuberation with the rest of us, nothing more, nothing less. Trying to critique it like is was carried out to support some kind of Masters thesis is just silly and doesn't warrant that kind of response IMO.

You can scold him for using abbreviated language, but the OP has just as much right to scold us for flaming and getting personal. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone....."

Guildwars is a game, and a player had an exceptionally fun time playing the game and wanted to share it with the community. May the flamers get crappy drops and lose your arse in PvP.

Language problems aside, this is innaccurate. My items will not disappear as soon as Anet releases an expansion. That said, I would like to say that I am one of those people that enjoys the trading and mercantile aspect of the game (ie. WTS THIS, WTS THAT!!!) and that for me is fun in and of itself. I also enjoy PvP greatly, and now that I've gotten enough plat to basically buy anything I need, I am now focusing on that.

It's because of all the anti-warrior snobs around, and this thread is like catnip to anti-warrior snobs. The guy merely happened to mention that he had fun playing a slugfest warrior battle and people just can't help but assume he's mentally retarted because, like, all warriors are retarted or noobs or both.

At least he didn't say he was a W/Mo because they are the lowest of the low and it really would have been very messy.

Really does reflect all the BS tension in the air and how cynical people are! :O

Flame me.

-edit-

Oh right, to the OP: Sounds like you had a great time, I know a few casual GW players and guess what, things like random arenas are really fun for them and they couldn't care less about faction and fame. Crazy, huh?!

Regardless of what you may think of their methodology, he IS in the wrong for usage of the English language. There are standards expressed in the forum guidelines to be followed, and to broken at your own risk.

However, the people making remarks about it are also in the wrong for going off-topic.

And the people replying to the people are ALSO in the wrong.

(and the person replying to the people replying to the people, being me, is also. >_>; )

The proper method of addressing concerns is known as the, " Report Bad Post" button, which looks like

.

If you find the original post to be a poorly written eyesore, report it.
If you find the following posts about his choice of writing offensive, report them.

If you choose an avenue other than the above, you're most likely also degrading the quality of the forums.

How does a bunch of warriors hacking at each other for an hour require that much skill?

**WARNING: the post below contains a playfull review. It is not meant as a personal attack, more as a way to illustrate my own lack of understanding how this match went***

well, let's review this.
they lasted an hour. that is allready quite an accomplishment with 8 warriors.
That means that they had to press the 'healing signet' button in time probably, because playing 4 mending of all warriors is to much a burden for the 2 regen energy warriors have.
It also means that they were carefull to not spike to much when one of them uses Healing signet. Say one of the swordwarriors had Final Thrust, and a critcal heal was needed from the signet by one of the opponents. Heaven forbid that they used Final thrust on that time. It might have killed someone. That also takes skill.

aside from that, I let they original poster explain how it was possible that this match lasted an hour. Surely there must be a better explanation then the one I provided.

If this forum actually has a guideline for using proper english, then I am sure there must also be some guideline about not being such depressing dorks that you have to make fun of this poor person for sharing one of the many stories within this "game". People in "the real life" will skip work to watch a baseball "game". This is entirely common behavior to most of the populous. Someday you might discover what society really is. And until that day comes, I guess you can just linger here and make fun of people for whatever twisted reason you can come up with.

Maybe hes from Singapore... Is the Singaporean so called "Local" language "incorrect" English?

Would you say that any dialect of the English language other than North-Eastern American is incorrect?

OP has some skills in getting the fun out of battles unlike some people here who cant seem to do it because they trying too hard to win

Its his choice to skip work or whatnot to play a game. If there is any loss, it wont be yours right?

English is not everyone's 1st language and if they are using it, please respect them for trying. Of course, adding symbols here and there do not count.
