After playing this game for 2+ years, there are simply some things others value, that i'll either never do, or participate into. for instance:

Gold Sinks like FoW armor, or boardwalking
Title displaying
Absurdly priced ugly skinned "rare" items
Ursan anything
Tanking (i'm a warrior)

What are some of the things after playing GWs for a while now, that you guys either haven't done, or refuse to do? anything for gold spending, to certain forms of play can be mentioned.

Refuse to do Ursan thus far, and no reason to expect that I will come across anything that can't be done conventionally.

Have no FOW armour - more because I prefer the look of the 15K kurczik wammo armour than anything about the price.

Oh - and refused to participate in the loopholes re Duncan, HOS and guild ferry - just on principle

Most of the titles: Drunkard, any of the higher level rep grind titles (+4, basically, since 4 is about as high as you can get for most of them without having to grind out the extra levels by repeatedly farming out areas), Lucky/Unlucky, etc. I can think of few things that aren't outright painful that are a bigger waste of my time (MY time mind you, I don't care what others do with THEIR time so save your breath telling me why I'm wrong) than sitting for hours grinding out a silly little phrase or a skin change for my toon.

I also basically quit all PvP. PvP players in Guild Wars seem to be on about the same emotional and maturity level as Counterstrike players and, frankly, if I wanted to be insulted by children who's only accomplishment in life is their amazing ability to permanently avoid a tan, I'd go hang out in a local LAN party.

Yes, little boy, you're better than me at clicking the mouse, congratulations on your amazing life accomplishment. I have a nice, fat paycheck, a house, two cars, and a girlfriend. You might get the first three of those things, so I'll surely be crying myself to sleep tonight next to the one thing I know you'll never manage to attain.

There's nothing I will refuse to do, within the rules of the game, if the rewards are worth it. I'm not the biggest fan of title displaying, but when i'm getting bonuses for it (LB, EotN Rep, etc) I'll leave it on.

Mork from Ork · Jan 18, 2008, 02:04 PM // 14:04

Outside of pre-searing - never ever sell to or buy from other players. It's not worth the hassle.

garethporlest18 · Jan 18, 2008, 02:05 PM // 14:05

Yes. I refuse to tank now as it's boring and I see it as crap.

But no one else does (besides you Magikarp). Warriors should attack in PvE and PvP. That boring BS Obs tank, bond and 3 eles is HORRIBLE. GTFO DIAF GRBAP just yuck. I will immediately throw a barrage of insults, and other things (like apples) at any team that uses those things, if I'm in the team.

This is just a game... if I feel like buying a FoW armor or a rare weapon I do (if I have the money, of course), if I don't I just don't... But now I'm a Zaishen Chest addict

Jongo River · Jan 18, 2008, 02:07 PM // 14:07

Trade, challenge missions and paying to enter elite zones are things I avoid. The first and last, I'd say I actually resent a little.

FeroxC · Jan 18, 2008, 02:10 PM // 14:10

Ill grind titles use goldsinks such as FoW and collect expencive perfect stat weapons.I would also tank if the occasion calls for it, but i don't like Ursan.
It should of stayed as a gimicky mission specific thing like the Junundu.

Shakkara · Jan 18, 2008, 02:10 PM // 14:10

I refuse to PvP. I think it's dumb and stupid to just kill other people, where's the point in that, run into the same map over and over and just try to kill people. And the PvP crowd are often immature /rank egotrippers that think they're ub3r1337 while they're just stupid kids.

I'm not vanquishing much even though I title grind because I think its dull and boring, and I almost have a LDOA character and am nearby rank 10 Kurzick from FFF, so I think that sais something...

gone · Jan 18, 2008, 02:13 PM // 14:13

I hereby refuse to pug. and grind.(farming excluded).

Witchblade · Jan 18, 2008, 02:15 PM // 14:15

pug
pvp
play monk

-Loki- · Jan 18, 2008, 02:18 PM // 14:18

farm anything.

You summed it up for me.
But i'll add some more for me.

PuG's.
HA egos. (who think they can /rank anyone anywhere even though they most probably got it from a lame build on a double fame weekend.)
The common AB idiot.(people who throw childish insults such as 'kurdick' or 'suxon'....shame you can't avoid them

.)

Sarevok Thordin · Jan 18, 2008, 02:31 PM // 14:31

Ursan, FoW, Zergway and the like.

wanmoke · Jan 18, 2008, 02:33 PM // 14:33

Pugging for anything other than PvP(which generally is necessary. Most of my friends aren't into PvP).

That's... about it actually. ^_^

Aera Lure · Jan 18, 2008, 02:35 PM // 14:35

Play alone with H/H. Bored beyond belief now with that, though I'll play with a friend and heroes, minimally.

Ursan. Have already done most things in HM and dont see the need for it.

The afk titles like Drunkard and Sweet Tooth. I am not spending real life time just clicking a button at timed intervals for hours, for no reason at all.

Re-roll my monk. Not going to happen.

Edit: Inspired from a post below: when I am monking if someone uses Ursan I refuse to heal them. They can use their consumables. I've yet to allow myself to be in an Ursan group, and I wont use it myself, so its not likely to ever come up. Its just on principle.

Faure · Jan 18, 2008, 02:37 PM // 14:37

Farming, titlehunting, having expensive armor because it's expensive (i have no elite armor whatsoever, because i like the regular ones better

).

shinslw · Jan 18, 2008, 02:40 PM // 14:40

Refuse to ursan in a team where the monks usually WUN contribute a set and they assume ursans must bring a set of consumables. Very irritating.

Divinus Stella · Jan 18, 2008, 02:43 PM // 14:43

For PvP i never play anything thats lame and try to avoid teaming with people that do play lame.

For PvE i dont think theres anything i consider out of bounds, not really too fussed about any of the farming areas since factions came out, a lot of people get hung up on things like ursan blessing farming getting people 50k an hour for brainless button mashing, when you compare that to 500k worth of runes per hour just farming caromi or net about 5 ectos worth around 16k each in the pre-nerf underworld run it all looks pretty pathetic.
