Losing Fame! - Guild Wars Forums

tmoney · Apr 17, 2006, 11:35 PM // 23:35

K someoen told me they were rank 12! I said can i see the emote they said they dont have it anymore bc someone hacked their account. I said u still have the fame and its on ur account NOT CHARACTERS! He said its bc i didnt play for a long time and when u dont play for a long time u lose ur fame!

I stopped playin for about 3 months until about a week ago and i didnt lose fame so i said he was lying!

The question is "Can you lose fame AT ALL?" and "IF SO, Do you lose if after not playing for awihle?"

It was difficult reading that post it really was... No, you cant lose fame. However if Chuck Norris shows up at Anet and demands random people lose thier fame then by golly Anet will listen and do what he wants because everyone knows Chuck Norris is the only guy to have be allowed to have the rank 15 gerbil.

heh, mebbe anet nerfed fame from iway on the same percentage drop as the skill? fame<new>=fame<old>*25/32

Lol, this thread was actually ammusing to read. No you cannot lose fame, this "someone" that said they had rank 12 obviously was lying, and you seemed to fall for it.

Further reason to not take everyone's word for everything they say.

You can't lose fame. The "my account was hacked" excuse is a sure sign of a noob telling a lie.

tmoney · Apr 18, 2006, 01:38 AM // 01:38

thats just it i didnt fall for it i told him he lies like crap. Like i said i quit for 3 months and didnt lose fame. i actually partly made this post to send him the link for his lying junks. Thanks everyone

There are very few Rank 12 players from my understanding, and most of them have been caught by a sceenshot and posted somewhere on the internet. When I find it I'll post it if anyone is interested -_-

edit - and yes, fame can not be lost by hacking.

I've seen a guy named Power Luvz Debbie (not the real Power) joking about losing his r12 in Local in HA. Maybe that was who you were talking about?

i heard a story of someone losing 200 fame, because he flashes his rank ( a beautiful tiger ) in front of some guys when he pwnd them in HoH...and he lost 200 fame for "discrimination in rank" or something...

I heard that too, but I always flash tiger on people's cropse in pvp but I never lose a single fame. May be I need to completely step on the cropse and flash rank to lose fame?

Chilly Ress · Apr 18, 2006, 02:30 PM // 14:30

there are so few r12 players, in that, you dont have random people going around telling others that they are r12, but unfortunately they had their acc. "hacked". Also, if they "lost" fame, they wouldnt be r12 anymore

Blaster The Warrior · Apr 18, 2006, 04:10 PM // 16:10

i don't think its possible to take fame away unless the gm's do it. but don't think so.

WOW. You are rank9 and even remotely think it is possible to lose fame...

You can't lose fame. Respect you can lose but not fame.

cant lose fame by doing this either, only self respect and "peer" respect. play with honor and skill and you are already rank 12 in my book.

(rank=2 here and quit playing in halls mostly because of the pointlessness and unsportsmanlike conduct).

Thom Bangalter · Apr 19, 2006, 04:26 AM // 04:26

you can be a fame bully and lose fame, like killing someone in hoh and throwing up your tiger or whatever. The opponent can screenshot that, send it to Anet, and if you seem to do it alot, well, buh bye fame.

Or at least that's what i hear. it could be a load of crap.

Opeth11 · Apr 19, 2006, 04:29 AM // 04:29

load of crap.
