Post the worst or most annoying things that have happened to you (in game).

-Getting a Damge +14%, Armor Penetration 20% (19% chance), Health +29 req 9 shortsword. In other words, 1 point off from perfect in every category.

-Health +29 staff wrapping.

-Accidently selling a really good weapon you found.

Easy: I had all the party members except 1 leave a chest run....while waiting to rez, he stood there and waited 10 minutes to take my drop: a perfect, gold req 8 Halo Axe 15^50 with 20/20 sundering...I'd give his name if permitted. I spent a good deal of time whining about it and spamming he was a theif every time I went to farm and he was in the area....then found out 20 or so people had the same experience with him before me....ugh. Such an A-hole...

Malice Black · May 25, 2007, 02:49 AM // 02:49

And you knew an unid was 15^50 with 20/20 how?

VitisVinifera · May 25, 2007, 03:23 AM // 03:23

easy, before reconnects, the time someone drops at the worst possible moment that totally negates a lot of time and hard work getting to that point

there were many of these moments

Getting within 35,000XP (ish) of Legendary Survivor only to die a needless death due to the lag problems that ANet refuse to admit exist on the Euro servers.

1. Getting 34 exp till survivor title then dieing

2. Solo farming tombs. Had 4 ecto drops on first level and hadn't picked them up yet. Lagged, died...

3. Soloing trolls with a W/R build. they interupted my healing signet when I had Gladiators Defence up. Can happen, but not very often. Had 3 purples there, a couple clovers, and a wack of gold.

The bastard told me!

Then dropped it so I could see...

...he also dropped/picked up all his other loot to taunt me while I begged for it. Started taking screenies, but got pretty pissed...never bothered to report the guy (figured it wouldn't do any good)

Mod Edit: Removed screenshot as you could see the person's name and GWG does not allow posting of ppl's names without their permission.

EDIT: Did a better job of masking names...apologies all 'round.

Lets see uhh... about 3-4 days ago I went to get my monk FoW set and my mouse lagged while I was crafting it and I crafted the Handwraps twice... so yeah that's probably it...

I'd say whenever I join a PUG party and wait a very long time to get the party full, then I get kicked without any notice. Either the leader of the group didn't realize that I had been waiting 45 minutes with them or doesn't care. For some reason a lot of people get some sense of power or glee from doing that. When they find someone they figure is better, they kick someone out without any word.

I've had that exact thing happen to me except it was an Aerowind blade.

strcpy · May 25, 2007, 06:48 AM // 06:48

After two years of playing finally getting one single really rare skin to drop - I saw the gold letters saying "elemental sword".

Turns out this was one of the "lucky" ones that is non-inscribable and worthless - YAY!!! It doesn't have a damage mod at all - great!!!

Still checked on it's worth and was confirmed.

I'd say anet screwing up verata's sacrfice and soul reaping are wounds that will never heal

You're kidding about the staff wrap, right? It's only 1 off perfect. I can think of way worse wraps to get.

Grouping with a pug (yeah, I know...I should have known better) to cap an elite in Dragon's Lair, which is not hard, it's just a pain the ass. Everyone was capping so we all called out which boss we needed. When we got to my boss, I again reminded them that I needed it. So we all waited til each person said, got it and then moved on. Right after we killed the boss I needed, someone went through the portal before I could cap.

Prince Telemakhos · May 25, 2007, 01:05 PM // 13:05

went to cap Earth Shaker going out of Camp Rankor b/c at the time my friend didnt have deldrimor. Took 30 minutes just to get where wiki says the closest spawn was. Then another 10 minutes to the next spawn and then another 15 to the next spawn. About an hour of fighting to the boss and damn prophecies has randmo spawns so i've wasted a good hour doing nothing.

Nebulaz · May 25, 2007, 01:14 PM // 13:14

Using PvP char as a mule and then deleating it by mistake.. 20+ items including 3 peices of my Kurzic monk armor :s gone, who knows what other goodies i lost.

Renegade26 · May 25, 2007, 01:27 PM // 13:27

I installed.

thats a joke.

Making my assassin and mesmer my favoutire characters in pve...

fenix · May 25, 2007, 01:27 PM // 13:27

I dunno, probably losing some PvP matches or something. Oh, I know, getting paired against Euro's in the Celestial Tourney. They are all asses, who refused to negociate a better time than 4am (our time), as the fallback was 5am for us, but PERFECT time for them. They should all diaf.

Locutas · May 25, 2007, 01:34 PM // 13:34

I got 2 butifull TRADGITIES ...

When i first got the game ( prof) 21 months ago , I made 6 gold ... Off of 6 black dyes, while selling 3 things above them in my inv .... the prob was I only clicked sell item twice ...

the 2nd worst thing (which the person payed for was gettin a black dye and a gold item (no idea what it was) and the (insert words here ) zoned to next area , after 2 people and I told him to wate a min ...

Reading a guild wars guru thread on the soul reaping nerf.

TheRaven · May 25, 2007, 01:41 PM // 13:41

Hmmm, not sure I can name just 1.

1. Joining a 4-man UW trapping group. As soon as we warped in, our leader aggros all the aatxes, runs outta the way and leaves us to die. He then told us to leave because he has a solo build and won't rez us. He just didn't want to pay the entry fee and that's why he brought us along. The first and only time i got scammed. At least I only lost 250g on the deal.

2. Joining a masters group in Gyala Hatchery and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for more players to join. We finally team up with another group and their leader kicks me and adds a henchie. I asked why he kicked me and he said it's because warriors suck in this mission and he prefers his heroes. Half hour of my time wasted for nothing. (Still need masters here btw)

3. The Wilds mission: I hate this mission more than any other. I'm sick of telling morons not to kill the centaurs 50 times each run before they inevitably kill the centaurs. The only mission I refuse to PUG anymore.

4. Not really ingame, but this seems to happen to me quite often. I'll bid on an item in the sell forum here and have the highest offer.....no reply from seller...wait a few days....PM the seller.....no reply.....PM again.....no reply.....Whisper seller ingame....."Oh, sorry I sold that item ingame."

5. And the #1 most annoying thing to happen to me in the game..... spending a good hour yesterday at work reading about this really cool new farming area with ranger spirits in Urgoz's Warren only to get home and find out it was nerfed before I even got to try it!!

Sigh, I'm always late finding these things.
