I'm sure there are somethings you came across while playing guildwars that just don't make sense, but which you did not notice, did not care, ignored, knew it doesn't make sense but yet still agree it should be how it is.

So this thread is just that - to share these little things that you think don't make sense and want changed or not, criticize it, make fun of it, etc.

Remember - this is not a QQ thread, but a fun place to share these experiences.
Also if you want to make it more fun - try to turn what the previous poster said into something that makes sense, rationalize it in a way (since i see a number of people doing it already haha)

Here's mine:

So i was doing the mission of Surmia HM for my Young Heroes of Tryia handbook, at the end of the mission where the mages are, i had to defend against the groups of Charrs coming in...
while i was fighting them...i was thinking...what are all those other Charrs doing standing out there while their mates get slaughtered by me...they would've definitely been able to slaughter my group if they were to come fighting me all at once, and got to kill the annoying Prince Rurik too...
Doesn't make sense...but i guess it had to do cause if it happens the realistic way, i would never be able to complete the mission

Tanned hide Square = Triangle?

Why there is an underworld for the dead/ghosts etc. when we have res shrines.

Geometry in Tyria is much more complicated than here on Earth.

The drops you get during the game have little logic.

You meet a spider that uses ranger skills, on death it drops a scythe
Its a spider it doesn't use a bow or a scythe and is unlikely to have eaten one.

how we keep those little pink ectos into circles....

Like every levelling based RPG, why are all the low level mobs conveniently located in lowest levelled to highest levelled in direct correlation to the story line? Less apparent in Factions and Nightfall but it still exists.

would you want to fight mandragorites in pre? :P

why is the rarest stacked item a fcking bracelet? You kill a bunch of evil demons and a giant monkey and all you get is a bracelet? Furthermore, why does the collector want to give you a cool weapon for a bracelet?

Why in ToA, is there a shrine thingy for melundra and a spirit there that does absolutely nothing but make you wish there was a realm for melundra.

To Tahnnakai Temple...

You can swing an axe into someones face in RA, you can impale them, decapitate, make them rot , make corpses explode ...
but god forbid that you depict a death of panda (in china)

You save a nation from Shiros wrath , a luxon merchant refuses to trade...

Can't use punch in game as normal attack (brawling skills are skills) , except when you execute rurik without weapon at cutscene...

Why my main character never needs to rest. He runs from one side of the land to the other taking down countless monsters, and does he ever complain or need a break? NO

AngelWJedi · Jan 17, 2011, 02:39 AM // 02:39

why can dervs hold a scythe right with both hands but any other class it looks like its going through one hand?

OK, that kind of makes sense. I never understood the gravitas in the game when main storyline characters die (I die all the time!). It would be cool if they actually established rules of the GW universe where they do concede that no one ever truly dies, they are just continuously resurrected with some sort of accumulated death penalty to the point where they are completely no longer a combat asset or make up some sort of McGuffin like, "you don't really die, Dwayna saves you at the last second and teleports you to a resurrection shrine or town to recover but sometimes (SPOILER!!!) guys like Rurik or Togo were not able to be saved and they did truly die".

That area of the game exists. It's call HA.

Charr built effigies to both the Mursaat and the Titans throughout Ascalon. Ignoring that the Mursaat and Titans aren't friendly toward each other, the Mursaat aided Saul D'Alessio in destruction of a massive Charr army which threatened Kryta.

People of Ascalon are called "Ascalons" in Prophecies.

People of Ascalon are called "Ascalonians" in Eye of the North.

I've always wondered what I did to piss off every single living being in Tyria. It just doesn't make sense.

Sure, the Margonites, the Corsairs, the random dinosaurs that I can only assume I reawakened from extinction against their collective will - those creatures wanting to attack me makes sense. But why do the plant creatures, elementals, and other random inhabitants think I'm a threat?

Seriously. What did my character do to piss every single thing (except normal animals) off?
