So I was in Lions arch trying to sell a few items and a guy said "YAY I JUST BEAT CANTHA EVERYONE SAY GRATZ" i said to him "gratz but you mean you be factions not cantha, canthas a place in factions," then he starts spamming "WRONG!!!!!!" i say how am i wrong? and he responds with some jappanesse word for shut the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO up.

After about 10 minutes of arguing me saying thats one part of factions and him saying no factions and cantha are same thing dont matter Stfu ILL REPORT YOU TO A-NET CASUE YOUR SO FIN STUPID

I know he reads this forum can someone just say him that hes incorrect!

I hate when ppl keep being persistant not admit there wrong and say ty for correcting me >_>

Saying you beat factions is correct, beating a continent doesnt make sense.

Knightsaber Sith · Mar 07, 2007, 11:10 PM // 23:10

Well Cantha isn't one part of Factions, all of Factions is in Cantha. But you still wouldn't say you beat the continent....

Mars Dragonblade · Mar 07, 2007, 11:19 PM // 23:19

All he's trying to say is that he's just beat the Factions storyline, but instead of saying "I just beat Factions" he's used "Cantha". Then all he's done is port to Lion's arch to show off to the new Prophecies players and for some ego boosting gratification from the people who know what he's drooling on about. In a grammar confused way he is correct to a degree, and so are you, since Cantha is indeed the name of the Factions continent.

Semantics are squishy things to have an argument about.

It' s more precise to say, "I beat the campaign, the campaign being Factions".

Perhaps, he is like the Roman Emperor Caligula and declared war against the sea, but in this case a landmass.

Tip: Don't argue with idiots, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with you with their experience.

Vandal2k6 · Mar 07, 2007, 11:24 PM // 23:24

He's a plum. He should actually say "I beat Guild Wars:Factions" because that's the title of the GAME he's just finished. But, seeing as we know it's GW he should just say Factions. I've never heard anyone say they've beaten Cantha. OR, he could say he's beaten Shiro Tagachi, as he's the enemy you need to beat to win.

Next time you see him, tell him I've finished it 5 times and to shove that up his arse.

Accidental double post due to the site running really slow. PLD ME.

Retribution X · Mar 07, 2007, 11:34 PM // 23:34

Report him to ANet for harassment.

Or for being a bitch and ruining other peoples play experence.

Or just because of his bad gramma'.

Dougal Kronik · Mar 07, 2007, 11:48 PM // 23:48

He's wrong, literally and ethically. Must have a pretty low self esteem to need players from Lion's Arch congratulate him on beating a continent.

Did he at least have Protector of Cantha?

SPIRIT OF THE SEA · Mar 07, 2007, 11:52 PM // 23:52

Lol dougal funny you mention taht. He didnt have prot of cantha but he did spam "shut up i have charmed better then all you crappy titles!"

I didnt tell him but i happen to have "lucky" "hapless" and "sweet tooth" :P

I totally wailed on Antarctica once. It was awesome.

Personally, I wouldn't waste my time with someone who's clearly only interested in being obtuse. Take comfort in the fact that you're right and move on.

WTB A damn.

nobody gives a damn?

Havre Fras · Mar 08, 2007, 12:55 AM // 00:55

Wow. Oh noes, he said Cantha instead of Factions.

Why did you decide to correct him? I mean, its not like it really matters, or that anyone would care, right?

Eldin · Mar 08, 2007, 12:58 AM // 00:58

1. He's a foolish fool, like most random people you find in towns. Can't expect to correct them all, it'd take forever.

2. Divinus is right. You can't beat a continent! Only an asteroid can do that, and it'd wipe out everyone in the process.

Well, sounds like he meant it as an innocent enough correction, something I do as well occasionally. Like when someone (who had obviously never beaten Factions) was spamming: "WTS KUUNAVANG THE WOOD DRAGON!!!" in Kamadan. Yeah, no idea where they got the "wood dragon" bit from, but I tried to correct that without giving away spoilers. He/she didn't listen to me, but...idk, things like that just bother me.

At the point the person (who is doing something shallow in the first place, bragging about something literally tens if not hundreds of thousands of gamers have beaten him to...) gets in your face about something like that...yeah, I'd prolly argue for a bit, then resign myself to his stupidity. Not like someone like that would admit he's wrong.

Diddy bow · Mar 08, 2007, 01:49 AM // 01:49

by looking at what he said im betting he lied about 'beating cantha'

You argued with him for 10 minutes over that? You are so FIN stupid!

The world is full of fools, if you spend 10 minutes arguing with every fool you meet, you are just as foolish. No offense, but that's just my honest opinion.

As far as this post goes, who cares if he knows you're right? Does it really matter? Let me answer. No.

And as far as him reporting you goes, I wouldn't worry about it much.

The Ernada · Mar 08, 2007, 02:15 AM // 02:15

Like, one time some idiot said the tomato was a fruit and then I laughed and called him a noob and told him it was a vegetable not a fruit. Then he says, he says I was totally a moron. Then I totally pwned him and said tomatoes are not fruit because fruit are sweet and tomatoes are not.

I was so totally right.

Coloneh · Mar 08, 2007, 02:15 AM // 02:15

who has the signature about not arguing with idiots because they have more experience? why would you argue with him, get some real life people to disagree with like everyone else.
