I don't think that the person did consider themselves "all knowing." You're just making an assumption. It's like someone on the show 'American Idol' where they have singers and then they have the judges. When the people can't sing, the judges kick them off, and the singers say that they can't sing any better than them. It's like how I can read a book and say it stinks, but it doesn't mean I'm a better writer than them. Same thing with movies, just because I'm not an actor/director/screenplaywriter doesn't mean I can't say it isn't good.

And btw suggesting that people take 3 friends and go to experiment with builds in team arenas is just showing how far you are from the reality. Most GW players are complete PvP newbies. They dont have any idea of what a "build" is, and what skills work in PvP, and which ones suck, despite of being good PvE. They don't also have those 3 friends who'd be willing to experiment together with them.

alright... you must be really stupid. If you've played guild wars you can figure out what a 'build' is, it's pretty easy to guess that, and since skills work pretty much identical to they do in PVE, there's not much confusion there either. Also, if they don't have 3 friends it's easy to find random people, or just go by yourself and hope for the best. Seriously, I think you have a learning disability.

I sometimes go to random arenas to quickly test some weird idea that I don't feel ready yet to experiment on my guildies, and I'd say 70% of the people in random areas have completely NO clue how to play GW (not just PvP, but GW as such). The OP was directed at those people.

Then look for a group and advertise. Say stuff like, I've got TS, and I'm a <insert build type here> or what not.
