Talking You Know You Play Too Much GW When...

Ok guys, every game needs one of these! I haven't seen one, so I'll start it!

You know you play too much Guild Wars when:

(1) You are reading this website while at work;
(2) You wake up wondering if America has favor or not, so you can farm;
(3) You go to Wal-Mart and tell an associate "WTB - Toilet Paper, PM Price";
(4) You daydream about character builds while not in front of the computer;
(5) You walk into 7-11 with a jar of ink and say "WTS - BLACK DYE 4 NEWPORTS";
(6) You complain to your friends about the economy in the game;
(7) You talk to other people about the game in real life in a non-casual manner;
(8) You design a cape and run around the mall saying "aDDICTED pLAYERS [aP] NOW RECRUITING - WE HAVE CAPES AND A GUILD HALL";
(9) You think your bedroom is a Guild Hall;
(10) You go to Abercrombie and Fitch with a bunch of snot and broken glass in a bag and ask "Where can I find the Fissure Armor?"

Hope you like!

11. When you're working out new skill combos while driving.
12. When the current price of Black Dye or Ecto can ruin your day!
13. When you post more than once in a single guildwarsguru thread in a 24 hour period - and even lurk until you can read a response
14. When you can boast about having an opinion on the best way to clean up UW.
15. When you can actually tell if a place has been nerfed.

#12: You grab a sword and run around the neighborhood yelling "I am using Sever Artery on Mr Smith!" as you attack them.

14.) When a teacher asks you a question, you wonder why he aggroed you when he was clearly outside of your aggro circle.

When you try to scroll down in programs by holding down the right mouse button.

When your friend is choking to death you try to find your remove hex skill.

When someone bends down to tie their shoes you shout "WATCH OUT TRAPS!"

When your friends get back from bear hunting you ask if they got any bear pelts that you could have to complete your quest.

...if you have actively participated in a debate regarding the economy in Guild Wars.
...if you wake up in the morning to check the material traders before you go to work.
...if you use Guild Wars acronyms in every day speech.

- When you watch ESPN's Pardon the Interruption show and think of Mesmers.
- When you visit your doctor for whatever reason and tell him "Nice healing" as you're leaving.
- When you buy dye at a store and purposely spill it all over your shirt in an attempt to change its color.
- When you're around a group of energetic kids that are annoying you, you scream "Fear Me!"
- When you see someone walking down the street with gothic clothing and wonder if he or she specializes in curses or blood magic.
- When you can figure out the correct pronounciation of "Conflagration".
- When you see someone praying and think about spirit spam.
- When you get a long stick, pour oil on the whole thing except for one of the ends, then light it on fire and consider it a fiery dragon sword.
- When you buy a cheap bow at a store and attach some neon lights to it to make it seem like its glowing.
- When you try to steal belts being worn by random people so that you can give them to the pre-ascencion collector of worn belts.

... When you try to convert any or all of the professions into D&D classes so that you can play pen-and-paper Guild Wars.

When instead of actually laughing at something, you just say "slash laugh"

Oh yes, that enter thing! I do that all the time now!

As an Australian:
When you get up at 6am because it will be 4pm in America and your Guildies will be online.

When you keep shouting "Charge!" when you run.
When the only dream you have is "finding an ecto", and every morning you log in to check if it was true.
