Pugs at all times in all areas. The game only got better in every other way.

Good times

Yeah all those scarabs used to be a huge pain. You used to have to get a group of real people just to do the quest to get to augory rock. And there was actually people in the oasis to do so with.

I miss:

-The old log-in screen. I'm so tired of the EotN one now.
-Wandering around in proph, looking at the scenery and discovering new areas.
-Having a friends list full of online friends, before they moved on to other games.
-Lack of easy-wins...heros, consumables, and PvE skills.
-Being super excited about that gold Fellblade that just dropped, then sighing as I ID it...Fiery, 14% While Hexed, of Defense.
-Marhan's Grotto being full of people.
-Finding a green and being able to sell it for more than 500 gold.
-Getting to Ember Light Camp and getting ready to go cap the elite skills. "Sweet, I can get Charge now!!".
-Mineral Springs being a difficult area.
-Getting run to Droks by a W/Mo.
-B/P Tombs Clearing.
-Outposts (besides Spamadan, Noob Monastary, and LA) being full of people.
-Updates being worth getting excited about.

The emphasis on PvP and absence of PvE bullcrap.

Bob Slydell · Jan 03, 2010, 07:48 PM // 19:48

I think this can cover just about any game but I miss having no idea what I was doing and learning about the game, that was the most fun (what I miss from earlier years). Games become stale when you know almost everything about them and for me.. new content just doesn't cut it because like they say.."they don't make em like they used to".

I miss selling Scar Eater's for 40k. I miss Wammo's being able to tank mobs, and I miss 5 man Sorrow's Furnace farming.

DarkWasp · Jan 03, 2010, 09:14 PM // 21:14

I miss actually being able to sell things

I miss .... people. Guild Wars is a dead game, the population is damn low compared to like 2 years ago.

Aeyl · Jan 04, 2010, 02:23 AM // 02:23

Im sure most of us who went through with guild wars from 2005 would agree that PuGing is one of the main thing we miss most, let it be Tombs, THK or the introducing of Sorrow Furnance.

Others include...
- The Black market of Droknar ID1
- Droknar Runs are serious business
- Razorstone, Rago's Flamestaff, Bortak's Set = $_$
- Nightout in Marhan Grotto (doing that ice-sliding thing)
- 55hp Monk & Nuker Duo Underworld (Where nukes doens't scatter mobs)
- Henge Of Devari Sword
- Griffon, Troll, Minotaur and of course Ettin Rune Farming
- FoW armor is something people respect and admire and FoW armor for monk and necro tats that doesnt' require shards

- Trice the no. of Districts in LA Halloween 2005 then in 2009 / Wintersday
etc..

Ninja Ninja · Jan 05, 2010, 02:18 AM // 02:18

I miss The Deep runs that took skill.

Sunyavadin · Jan 05, 2010, 04:07 AM // 04:07

It's actually ironic, with the lower number of players compared to then, but lately I've been getting nostalgic over the day of Factions' launch. Getting to Unwaking Waters with nothing but henchmen because after Zin Ku corridor I couldn't find a single outpost with any players in it! And getting several top scores in Amatz basin because there were only half a dozen names on the list!

Oh, and I miss that dyes can be mixed with each other. I remember there used to be a lot of requests for gold dyes before the dye conversion happened. And the die remover. It gave better mix effects than the current gray dye we have now. So in those days you can buy less sought after dyes to make really neat dyes and make a fortune by just buying and buying then selling. Ah, what a days.

If we really want to get nostalgic, I miss the Beta Weekend Events. There was so much excitement to try something so new and different. I remember going through feelings of withdrawl when the weekend was over and we had to wait at least another month or more for the next.

It was chaos and nobody knew about pinging builds let alone know how to make a reasonable build with the skills they let us have, and we just had fun. I will NEVER forget my first time through the Northern Wall mission when the Charr broke through the gate for the first time and I all but had a heart attack.

I loved the beauty of pre-sear, and how it really made me cry the first time going into burned out Ascalon after spending a week or so getting to know the characters that were later doomed to be henchmen. Poor Orion, things sure had worked out different then HE planned while in pre-sear!

When superior absorption was 90+ k at the trader.

Pesi · Jan 05, 2010, 12:22 PM // 12:22

I miss doing frost gate with my mesmer, using healing skills.
I miss active low level pvp arenas
I miss true farming in sorrows furnace
I miss 14k ecto, and not getting much further in uw than clear the chamber
I miss people that played the game, and could run a conversation, and laugh about dying.
I miss ascalon international districts, where high end trading was going strong
I miss Droknars forge international districts, the big mob of traders.
I miss 15+ districs in german / international Port sledge.

Its easy to miss what u dont have, if it was like that still, noone would play the game and noone would miss it.

There's nothing cool about hanging out in a video game.

Can we get a rotation going?! And I mean start waaaaay from the beginning and just switch is every few weeks on a random day/ time frame.

Agreed...a rotation would be nice.
