some events related to gw made me cry both from laughter and frustration/sadness.

teh internets is SRS BSNS
I've never come close to crying over something in GW; I'ld hope that's only a girl thing. PvP has caused some trouble in my guild, when one of our better players left (and some of the other better players with him) because he couldn't get along with two of our officers. It wouldn't have bugged me at all, but he then decided to form a guild based on the idea of avoiding problems rather than confronting them. I guess I only care about something that happens on the internet if someone does something I know they know they shouldn't have done.

A couple nights ago, my guild mates and I were on vent together grinding UW.

He said sorry to her in regards to the last pvp-rage incident. Good news is that upon our guild request, we were able to convince her to rejoin the guild again.

meh not a person an event but i didnt cry, i payed 21k+112e for a emerald sword worth 50-60k. Now i view it as a challaneg to make up what i lost, atleast it lets me play gw longer because i was gonna leave gw anyway. even before this due to lack of stuff to do.

Well, that's nice to hear. I'm glad he was mature enough to apologize to her for blowing up.

@ the OPs question. from negitivity no. from being funny in voips yes.

The vent/ts thing can be a good thing or a very bad thing. I have done pvp w/ guildmates or elite areas. I think the problem comes from people forgeting this is a game. A game that can be very fun to play and meet some great people. Also a game that can be endlessly frustrating and unnerving.

A little food for thought. We do not allow cursing in our guild/alliance chat, we do not enforce this with an iorn fist but ask politly to please refrain from that kind of language. In our ts this is a little looser as it is way easier to speak somthing than to type it, but we also politly ask people to not do it.
The next step is to use push to talk. If I need to vent for what ever reason I can let it fly, afterwards I can then be civil again. We have lost many people over the years I have been in the guild but the ones that matter are still around. We joke and talk about stuff, in the past year I can not recall a bad time in TS.

Rule of thumb: If you wouldn't say/talk/act that way to your mother, do not do it in VOIPS. If your are a potty mouthed, hateful creature to your mother then you really need a hug or a swift kick in your pants.

PvP & other competitive stuff can make people monsters. see WoW Onyxia Raid wipe for details, lol. But seriously, PvP (all formats & platforms) is notorious for having asshats. Competition naturally draws people who need to have a way to place themselves above others.

That's really good that he apologized. it's rare.

Ive heard the occasional girl breakdown and cry in vent, but have yet to hear a guy. If I ever do though, I'll be sure to record it to share the lulz.

Since I am fueled nearly entirely by people crying, I must make people cry to survive.

I'm pretty good at it.

Selket makes me cry on Guild Wars at least five times a day, it's horrible.

Or the person just sucks. In many pvp scenarios where people want to pvp with their "friends", those friends more often then not are problem not as good as the core group of people interested in pvping to begin with. After all they're only playing with their friend, if they may not even be interested in PvP. Even if you make them unlock some decent elites to pull off builds, there's no guarantee they'll play the build well enough to win a match. All in all, most of the time people either out of kindness or free will just don't mind it or basically ignore it. When everyone notices it but doesn't say a thing, usually someone the person who cares the most about winning obviously will. That's just my flip on the scenario though, since they're already in the guild it should be assumed that they're around the same skill as all the other players, but then again there's always the weakest link.

Damian979 · Jun 27, 2008, 08:06 PM // 20:06

Cry...no, chuckle and leave....many times

It is a game. Unfortunately one that many people take far too seriously, but consequently these are people that have issues that extend far beyond GW or a PvP match.

Tearz1993 · Jun 27, 2008, 10:20 PM // 22:20

I know someone that cried, but it was because her boyfriend broke up with her over Guild Wars (even worse than a text lol) but I don't know if that really counts...

Dante the Warlord · Jun 27, 2008, 10:37 PM // 22:37

Ive never cried in GW except if you mean crying in laughter, which has happened when someone made a nice joke or two. Im in a guild, but i never go hardcore and I will never get ventrillo because its going to be just like Halo... lots of little annoying boys with their massive egos not wanting to compromise, same can be said to adults. Also a lot of PvP players, who are hardcore, might lead horribly sad lives, alone or isolated. They might be having troubles home and want to "win" something in their life of loss...

Now that you mention it I think I remember and it happened before.

To the OP: Most of the players who go in pvp and get rank (sorry for the word) become pure asses and big headed. Nice high ranked pvp players exist aswell and thats whom you should look for.

PvP is meant to be much more intense and way more of a challenge. You guys should have all called your friend a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO bucket and left the guild if it upset you. I never cried over the game, but I got angry.
