Infusion runs were fun. Unlocking stuff before Balth's Faction wasn't. Tombs being casual fun was definitely fun.

I got Prophecies since a year and bought Nightfall today. I remember my first days, no trading spam in the towns, less scam, gold items were worth a lot without 600% more damage while health below 1%

but I like the changes today. China farmer definitely got screwed.

Paying 30 SoJ's was so worth these 15 scales... you may notice there arnt any traders around...

You could kill stuff in under 20 seconds and it would be so worth it

even when this happened...

but the best thing that we would love back would be... free chests

EDIT
Did I mention I use to be nice? the the best trader ever?

Ah memories, even some that i can't remember there D.E.V.I.A.N.C.E.! I do remember lots of good gold rune drops form the avicara and ettins!

When we had NO materials storage, just 20 slots in storage to store everything.

Sigh~ the good old days ... (T_T)
But changes has to be made for the game to grow i guess

XvArchonvX · Oct 29, 2006, 02:28 AM // 02:28

Agreed w/ OP. It's nice to see someone that can look at the larger picture of GW evolution and not nit pick with things that bug them.

I remember when there was a warning on the choose class screen for mesmer.

I remember some of the ridiculous build I could run and nobody cared, because it was all in the name of good fun.

I remember when boonprot had no recharge, and zealots fire didn't make monsters flee.

I remember the market crash, and how pissed I was that I had no money.

I remember pre searing being packed.

Mr D J · Oct 29, 2006, 03:52 AM // 03:52

And I remember days where I sold all my shells for 2g each 3 hours before the beta event was over and all my money dissapeared. ^_^

Was that the one when all runes and shards were uber cheap? I remember that day and I logged off and went playing something else because I was pissed and GW and missed it all ^_^. Well, they did a rollback anyways...

How'd they be lucky when they are 18 months late to enjoy the game.

You should head on back sometime. I was hanging around Ascalon on my Perma-Pre Ranger today and let me tell you, that place was so full I couldn't see straight! Ashford Abbey was also bustling with activity, and even Foible's Fair was a hotspot (mostly for hopeful bear-capping Rangers).

Ah, the good ol' days...

Reks · Oct 29, 2006, 03:59 AM // 03:59

The glory days of Protective Bond. Sheesh that was over a year ago.

And you can't forget when there was no 1k cap in buying skills...

Sidra · Oct 29, 2006, 04:12 AM // 04:12

I've had the game for 14 months now :-P. I remember when people freaked out in pre about my glowy hands (randomly picked up a CE in circuit city, said "hey, this looks friggen sweet!", bought it, installed xD). Ooh man. People were so much cooler. All that mattered were shw33t g0ld dr0pz y0. No greens, no random dungeons, and people seemed a lot more wealthy. I didn't even have "nerf bat" in my vocabulary till like 2 months later. I remember something from like 5 months ago- that retarted server update that totally uber-ed out the world. Where no zones work, mapping failed, and people could run right out of ascalon to anywhere w/o any monsters in the normal maps.

I also remember leaving pre at lv3 xD. And finding out that no- everything does not look like a shining garden of peace after torrents of fire rage through it. Man, that freaked me out.

+finding gwen's flute in the middle of the random mound. That, was seriously depressing >.>

man i'm hyper.

Leighwyn · Oct 29, 2006, 04:20 AM // 04:20

I miss having to hit and cancel Signet of Capture over and over again to capture elite stances

I miss getting ecto to drop from a chest in Riverside, and then selling it to NPC for 100 gold.

I miss seeing "Lulu The Monk's team has won a battle in the Hall of Heroes and keeps the favor of the gods for America." about 50 times in a row.

The OP is right though. Really, people complain a lot. I don't know if they're people who forgot how much easier Anet has made it now, or if they were never present for it but I really like the new additions.

garethporlest18 · Oct 29, 2006, 05:31 AM // 05:31

I remember a lot of the stuff you've guys said..as I've been playing since June of 05. But the biggest was that big market burst...or whatever when monk runes were 40k+ I got one at that time and was living it up, also got 2-3 sup vigors. Thing I regret was not knowing about the chests in Riverside or Dreadknoughts until it was to late.

Riceboi · Oct 29, 2006, 06:41 AM // 06:41

Remember that time when monsters stayed in AOE damage. Yeah I want that one back. And yes the game is worse without it. LOL
