This thread is about urban legends and bullshit too many people still believe in guild wars:
please do not discuss or flame here, just post what you think is uttelry wrong!
The following sentenses are bullshit:
1 Sorrows furnache drops are not random
2 If you klick the ghostly hero after you won in the tombs you do not get to the Halls of Heroes.
3 Green items are better than golden items are better than purple items are better than blue items
4 most item upgrades are useless, for example 10% chances on all skills[
5 guild wars is perfectly ballanced because everything has its counter
6 all skills are equally powerfull (just compare skills from around shouthern shiverpeaks with skills from around ascalon, not to mention otyoughs cry)
7Hencheman are worse than most of all pve players
W1 Warriors can heal (how many adrenaline skills heal? how many enertg regen do warriors have? Paladins must smite (or protect)!)
W1.1 Mending is good for primary warriors (as long as it lasts longer than 15-30 seconds while you take damage, wich it does not!! Enchantment removing is fun)
W1.2 Healing Breeze is good for warriors (healing breeze is semi usefull for E/Mo, warriors cant heal shit)
Mo1 Word of healing is the best monk elite skill (Healing hands is better if the target gets hit more than 3-5 times or if you combine it with dwaynas kiss)
Mo2 Healing breeze is a good skill for primary monks (it's the slowest and lowest healing per energy of all monk skills, only usefull for E/Mo and N/Mo!)
Mo3 "Need 1 more monks" (wroing singular, and less monks make a team build more powerfull)
N1 Minions die faster if they get healed (a minions health degen increases per second, keeps them alife if you have too much energy)
N2 Blood is Power is a good skill for necromancers with 16 blood magic
N3 Well of Power is worth its energy regeneration for small teams
Me1 Mesmers in pve are useless (so stupid, not worth a comment)
Me2 More than 7 fast casting is a waste of attribute points. (only if you have the reaction time of a 60 year old)
E1 E/Mo can not heal as much as Mo/Me (try one)

1> If there are multiple ways to do something; one of them is faulty. <--Not true.
2> W/Mos are newbs. <--Not true. I've played one on my main all my time here. While it's true for the vast majority of "new people" that tend to flock to them, it can be said of any class. W/mo's just get picked on :P

You won't find a Cyote in one place and a werewolf in the next and say "Oh wow that's basically the same thing with different colours".

W/Mos with Mending are overpowered. Wait, that's already been said... oh well, can't hurt to say it again.

You can heal a spike that does ~600 damage in less than 1/4 second!
Word of healing heals faster than healing hands and is spike healing. (1/4 and instant on attack against 3/4)

I know a real one that isn't more a criticism about people's opinions:
There's a slim chance that you can get an ecto if you salvage phantom residue.

The chest that appears after the first quest in FoW drops better if everyone gets the reward from the quest before opening it.
I'm so sick of it.

If you drop several gold items on the ground before you open a chest, it greatly improves the chance that the chest will contain a gold item.
I've also heard a variant of this regarding ecto - drop some on the ground in UW and you'll have a greater chance of collecting more while you're down there.

If a chest (w/key) drops a purple item, the next could be gold

Low-req weapons do more critical hits and thus more damage

If a gold droped, the next was gold. Back to more testing.
saphir
single chests are already predetermined to drop only purples or golds. i've never seen the same chest drop both purples and golds for players anymore.

Apparently, haven't had much time to test this theory, but if you look at a chest before you open it you can determine what kind of item will drop. It will appear with a purple tint it will drop purple.

MY personal pet peeve is something like this: "The xxxx is the best pet." "Bears attack slow." "The bear tanks the best."
This one is common too.
"You need a monk primary to be a healer/protector, no other class can heal/protect."
I always want to rub my mesmer in the faces of those people.

About the ecto drops, that's not impossible, we had a run last night, and twice did we have 2 ecto's right after one another, while they weren't picked up yet. Ecto's usually get picked up asap. You'd really have to trust other people to try this for real though.

Paladins are invincible in PvP, making them perfect tanks
IWAY is too good
Mesmers are useless in PvE
Necros can only be minion masters
Monks in 4vs4 = win
Favor affects boss spawns in PvE
Henchmen are stupid and real people are smarter
PvE > PvP
PvP > PvE
