i really hate it when all the trolls are out just because u ran an easy build but still it doesn't change the fact that ra pvp is silly and stupid. Every title is a grind, but most serve some purpose, even vqing you also need to note some monsters res and appropriate skills to bring and counter them, but what does RA serves?

u can play hopeless builds like this

and end up getting a title that doesn't serve any purpose other then showing how much one has grind for the title plus the title was alrdy abused by syncers . If it wasn't so rampant, anet will not be quick to make changes about it. The person in the ss didnt learn anything - i blank out some of the name not to humilate him, and after he died he raged at his team that they were noobs when he basically ran 4-5 healing skills, healing breeze and healing hands shown in ss and lion comfort plus an elite glimmer of light or something like that and did not realise he was the biggest reason why they lost. Players would actually learn something if they do HA or HB and realise why some builds are OP instead of doing RA just to grind for something which is moving backwards.

lololololol learn something from HB. funny joke is funny. also it must be just you because everyone here is saying to stop complaining about the req and how easy it is. hell, in the 25-30 minutes i played earlier i got myself a couple glad points(including having dishonorable for about 10 minutes) i didn't have the greatest teammates but they were good enough.

i've always found it funny when people mention anything PVP on guru. There's always the elitist punks out there coming in and saying "stop being bad"... is there anything you can contribute that can be taken seriously? Do you expect the OP to even give your post the attention you feel it must deserve? Probably not.

Eragon Zarroc · Oct 13, 2009, 07:44 PM // 19:44

no, if u want it, put in the time and dedication

With TA going away it'll be possible to get much longer win streaks.

@ OP: So how exactly did you manage to get 5 gladiator points when all glad points are doubled? Logic would dictate that it is impossible to get an odd number of glad points on a double weekend, but maybe you are so bad at the game that you break all conventional laws of suckiness?

nice to see you gave him some good information as well

Red Apple · Oct 13, 2009, 09:59 PM // 21:59

I do agree with the OP many people here are thinking of RA as TA, even as a monk, getting glads 3 in a month just too hard to believe, at least on RA.

Or perhaps it is 720 hrs nonstop?

How is it not unfair to remove TA and make the title only attainable by RAing?
When mostly it was grinded on TA.

There is something that must be done after the removal of TA with the Glads title, and there is no doubt in that. Perhaps 2 or 3 points at the first 5 wins in a row?

As the RA teams are removed by TA teams it will be harder for real beginners to even learn how to play before they get defeated by already formed and good groups.

lrn2TA so I can stop getting restarts

Sankt Hallvard · Oct 13, 2009, 10:31 PM // 22:31

So here's another guy complaining about "working" for a title. He hates RA but is still grinding at it for 6 hours a day to get the line "Mighty gladiator" to display at his feet and a trophy in a hall of monuments no one will ever visit.

And still I'm the only one who thinks titles and grinding for them is pathetic?

Depends entirely on how A.net implements HOM into GW2 ;o

RA is a mixed bag because everyone plays it. PvE people and high end pvp'rs all hop in ra and kill a little time at some point. The key to ra is overwhelming force and fast rezing if your build can't kill anything quickly then it better be a monk build. Usually you can get a 10 game streak per day pretty easily. It may take 40 minutes of crap groups before you hit a group that is decent. Its not that hard but its going to take some perseverance and as others have mentioned its a slow title.

If i leave the team i get dishonored, if i refuse to leave and stop doing damage when i got paired with a sin casting restful breeze and attacking a dervish at the same time i got reported for "leeching".

total amount of glad pts i got for the past 3 days playing 6hrs a day? 5. This is a ridiculous grind and it rewards people a trophy in HOM either through syncing or people with stupid builds playing against others with equally stupid builds.

So what you're saying is...in the 6 hours across 3 days of playing RA with your (half)Assedcaster build you produced 5 Glad pts. and through out that entire time you blame your poor results on...1)your team mates sucked 2)you didn't get the team setup you wanted. Not once have you considered that maybe it's not entirely everyone else in the world but perhaps you had a role in all this failure? I'm not saying you're bad but you've thus far labeled everyone else in your team but yourself. RA is a team game regardless how you look at it. It's 4v4, you can't pass the blame onto 3/4ths of the team and not be responsible for a loss yourself because you are apart of that team.

So my question to you is this...
Do you really think you are good enough to warrant passing the blame onto others? I'll let you figure this one out.

You would think after 6 hours of losing using the same build over and over and over something would click. For the record, Halfassedcasters aren't particularly threatening. Before you rage at me thinking nonsense consider that the build has been around for several years now. I've used it and so have others. It's not very good at all. You'll never see such a build in "serious competitive PvP" for a reason. You may have used it in "RA" with great success but then you also have to consider the quality of opponents you are up against.

My summary of threads being created as of late....
" Me angry that Anet did not make something the way me want it"
'' Me want it easy"
" Me make thread to complain and get +1"

To many pointless petitions to change dumb things is really getting old.

yea its my fault because i chose those teammates to do RA with me, no vent to communicate and people not listening to each other so its a "team effort". I don't really think you understand why assacasters are so popular. If its not working, then i can safely say none of the builds in RA i have met so far are not working. I didn't change assacaster because it was so effective in nuking my opponents and some of them were qqing on chat. However when your talking abt 5 wins in a row running people with builds that doesn't sync whatsoever and bringing skills that don't work ya i shld take fault for that. I dunno whether my luck had any effect, but in less then a day i met warriors with charge, rangers using healing breeze, paragons using healing spring and thats on top of the rest of the builds i have just mentioned.

yea so basically no matter how pointless and silly this format is which no one has bother to succesfully produce a decent argument with i should just shut up as this is whining and guild wars was meant to be played the way a korean mmo shld be played: countless of grinding kill monsters, rinse repeat with no purpose whatsoever ...err wait there is one: for the sake of showing i "Deserve" my level, rank or w/e. Yea ok

thats why i ignore them

some of them didn't even read and comprehend what i stated so clearly on the first post of this thread. For all the nubs who prob were one of those that ran the builds i state above, let me repeat this 3 more times in bold:

total amount of glad pts i got for the past 3 days playing 6hrs a day? 5

Lol this proves my point that most people lie on these forums just to get their point or agenda across. The ole everybody says does did, I know a lot of people lol, all my friends bot, stuff like that. Lies Lies all lies. lol

Artisan Archer · Oct 14, 2009, 08:00 AM // 08:00

I got 24 points about 9 hours of playing during double weekend..

Cantos · Oct 14, 2009, 08:32 AM // 08:32

Farming should be PvE only. Delete all PvP titles.

The best way to get streaks is by playing a monk. If you see a lot of monks about, you can play damage. The other strong role is warrior hate. Play BSurge or Ebon Dust Aura, or a necro. You can also do other things but they are probably too hard for you. Thats about it.

Depending on the specifics, those casting assassins are somewhere between bad to pretty good. You might have been running one of the bad variants. More likely though, you persisted in filling an oversaturated role. You should switch builds more, I would go mental playing a boring build like that for 18 hours. 1 2 3 4 blub blob bloop a doop.

I think I got like 30-40 gladiator points last weekend. I didnt really pay attention.
