Question About Grotto - Guild Wars Forums

Xaero Gouki Kriegor · Aug 08, 2006, 05:24 PM // 17:24

kind of an odd question, but why do a lot people with expensive armor stand afk in grotto all the time with /bowhead emote?

ZenRgy · Aug 08, 2006, 05:29 PM // 17:29

Because they're damn awesome.

Deacon Roswell · Aug 08, 2006, 05:39 PM // 17:39

The Grotto is the "snob" area where all those people who "think they are cool" hang out. Alot of people in fissure armor like to stand afk for hours while they are really at work because they think people will see their armor and think they are good. It's kind of pathetic.

I see ty.

Scorpion Boy · Aug 08, 2006, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Uhh lets not start a flame war OK?

Xaero Gouki Kriegor · Aug 08, 2006, 05:47 PM // 17:47

agreed

It's a popular "hang out" area for people with expensive armor...and for people who want said expensive armor. People who know each other IRL, people who've met each other online, etc. just come here to "talk". The conversations here get on the retarded side pretty damn often, though so I try to avoid going there as much as possible.

The new hangout for REALLY cool people is my Guild Hall.

It's actually a typo. The real name is Moron's Grotto. Hence the denizens of it.

master koa · Aug 08, 2006, 06:21 PM // 18:21

^ lol. I hate going to grotto, so many stupid conversations, last time I traveled there was 6 months ago.

Jetdoc · Aug 08, 2006, 06:36 PM // 18:36

I go there every once in a while to Ice Skate and to harass male warriors that want to do the Humpty Dance on female mesmers wearing FoW. It's funny how doing the warrior dance behind another male warrior will make them exit town within 5 minutes, guaranteed.

Kind of turns the tables, eh?

ROFLCOPTER. I dont know anyone who hangs out there and quit frankly I dont want to.

boxterduke · Aug 08, 2006, 08:04 PM // 20:04

There is even a Marhan Grotto club.
There was a thread in the screenshot forums with pics and all.

I'm looking for it but cannot find it.

Trvth Jvstice · Aug 08, 2006, 08:59 PM // 20:59

Marhans grotto has become a "chat room" for some people. There are a few others, like pre-searing Ascalon dist one. I've also seen a few regular chat groups in Ashford Abbey.

I suppose it's more fun than chatting in Yahoo, or Alta Vista, some of the more popular chat sites.

Nice. Grotto needs someone like you to patrol and annoy the snobs XD. A look into the mind of the average person in Grotto. WARNING: Some images may be graphic: Player's Friend "Here's 1 Mill for FoW armor." Player:*buys FoW armor* *goes to Grotto* "OMGOMGOMG I AM UB3R L33T!!!11!!11!1!!"

For the most part, people in Grotto think pretty much that. 15k or FoW armor.
Not talking abuot anyone in particular, just the average conduct you should expect in Grotto.

NICE!!!! I'd love to see the look on that guy's face!

ermm try watching ppl in the "REAL" world...its more interesting and you have less chance of getting "square eye syndrome" + there is the added bonus that you might meet "real" girl !!

sarcasm ftw

seriously tho, playing a game is one thing, letting a game be your life is another
