Spending a few mill on Fow keys before treasure hunter title was counted... I was dissapointed to say the least.

Ditto, except change Fow to Zaishen.

Well this is easy. Last week my account got stolen (which I got back today with a sobful feeling). Due to that I lost few valuable items, such as Draconic aegis and that sodding idiot salvaged my vabbian and obsidian armor. Fortunately he left behind the salvaged ectos. Also lost in total about 4 elite armors.

The most obvious thing:

Got killed due to connection loss, with over 500 000 exp, while farming survivor title

Hehe, at least you died that way. I died because of my stupidity. Trying to kill alone a torment claw when I realized that I had flagged all of my heroes next to the shrine in Grand Court of Sebelkeh mission.

1st attempt (before they changed how to get the survivor title): killed by Snow Ettins in Deldrimor Bowl. I was running my char from another account and forgot those beasts spawn at the Griffon's Mouth/Deldrimor Bowl portal. (Made it to tier 1.)

I didn't play that character for over a year after that -- instead got the survivor title on another character.

2nd attempt (approx. 530,000 exp): killed by Hajkor, Mystic Flame in The Sulfurous Wastes while skill-capping (on a double-exp skill capping weekend). I'd pinned my h/h way beyond my aggro bubble, but Hajkor's mob wiped my party within seconds then came straight for my character.

3rd attempt (approx 830,000 exp): killed by the Annihilator while in last Year's April Fools pre-seering quest.

Pfft - my first survivor was killed by the slightly-higher-level gargoyle in the catacombs...

Same except I had an orgasm instead of a sneeze.

Hm... I can't remember any really bad thing happening to me while playing, nor losing a drop after zoning, nor getting scammed. Nothing like that.

They only bad things I can't think of is when I learned that GW will probably never have a proper trade system, or the inscription system not being applied to the whole game as it should.

WinterSnowblind · Aug 23, 2011, 07:39 PM // 19:39

I remember getting scammed when I first started playing the game, since I didn't understand what a weapon being customised for someone meant (this was before the days of all the warnings and such).

About 650k into my legendary survivor title, I decided to do the Zaishen bounty on Korshek the Immolated. Normal mode, not hard. Hadn't put a finger anywhere near the hardmode button since starting on survivor.

Anyway I arranged my heroes, precast spirits, pulled, and we just exploded. I tried to run, watching my perilously low health slowly dropping from burning, didn't get any heals, dead. I couldn't believe it.

Then, to add insult to injury, I figured I might as well do the bounty on hardmode now, and of course, it went smooth as butter, hardly anyone's health even dropped much.

I have no idea what went so horribly wrong on the normal mode attempt. But I know I'm in no mood to attempt survivor again, after basically being unable to play the game normally for a week, and then dying halfway anyway,

It's rather funny how the scammers get u when you're not well...

A guild mate had just been told that day that he was to be laid off. Naturally, he decided to kill a few creatures to get out of being depressed.

A player advertized z keys for 5.5k ea. My mate gave him gold for 10 keys only to get 1. The scammer promptly disappeared. I tracked him down and told him not to be like that; I mean the guy (my mate) had just had a real life issue but the guy just laughed and said that he gave my mate the zkey (so 1 key for 55k!) I tried reporting him but Arena net said my mate had to--and the poor guy just wasn't in the mood for the hassle.

A couple of weeks ago, I wasn't feeling well so I sold a set of Nick's collecting item for less than anyone else was. A player suspiciously asked if the price listed was for an entire set. I verified that it was. He immediately agreed to buy it. I put the item in and he accepted and I accepted. It took that second to realize that he never put in the money!

I immediately messaged him, but he had dugged out of the area. I put it in the all chat and a guild mate of his told me he claims he paid. I told her that I had proof that he had not. I gave him one chance to make it right, but he refused.

So I reported him with screen shots. Sick as I was, I was determined not to allow him to get away with it. So for a measly 8k, the guy got banned after Arena net investigated and found that he had indeed scammed me. On top of that, all his guildmates know what a thief he is--and ungrateful for a bargain.

If he was in our guild I would have insisted the guy got booted as he gave whatever guild he belonged to a bad rep...all this for a measly 8k!

During Sweet Treats weekend, I decided to spend the weekend farming as many eggs and bunnies as I could for treasure hunting and sweets points. I figure that it would also be a good time to get survivor for my monk and so I may as well as do Kilroy boxing the whole weekend to do all three. I reasoned that since I was going for bunnies and eggs, I was going to be farming the whole weekend anyway, so I wasn't going to use scrolls and just brute force my way up to R3 survivor.

After hours of Kilroy and bunny and egg farming, I was halfway to R3...but I was getting pretty bored and turning into a zombie and wanted some kind of change. My guild leader said he was going to farm Gates of Kryta, and I thought: "Ooh! This would be a great break to kilroy and still farm bunnies and eggs!" I had never farmed GoK, even though I had heard it was a good farm so I asked if I could tag along to see what path he would take and how he'd use his build.

I was super excited about this since I had been wanting to learn this farm for a while now! When we met in GoK, we zoned in and I said "I'm going to go suicide so I can watch you from your viewpoint" and ran off into some mobs and promptly died. While my GL was farming and explaining what to do and where to go, I was totally excited at learning this new farm. As I literally was typing: "I wish these mobs were higher so I could use the XP for my survivor"... I realized what I had done...

and then just stared at the computer in disbelief...

before erasing the last message and typing: "OMG, I just killed my survivor!"

Anyway, I started survivor again from scratch and burned through scrolls to get R3... and then didn't touch the game for about 3 months after XD

Dude this is fkn hilarious

I mean I feel your pain...but damn that's funny! Probably because its the kind of thing I would do!

I can't remember anything too bad to happen to me, so I'll just post something that happened recently.
Trying to max Party Animal title, go into Kamadan: "WTB Party Points 120g/point"
Guy trades with me. Point value of everything he put up was around 200k worth of points. I put up 28 ectos or something like that. Accept trade.
Double click on new items. Realize that Candy Canes can't be used in outposts.
...
Shit.

I've been playing GW for about two years now with a few breaks here and there. Nothing really terrible has happened in that time, I've never gotten scammed or hacked or anything like that.

I guess the only really bad experiences I've had are a rather common problem with the pvp scene in most games: immature d-bags thinking their "skill" gives them the right to make fun of others. It's why these days I play with local and team chat turned off, I play GW to enjoy myself not to have to read some of the "witty" little comments that can be thrown around in FA.

Eronia · Sep 04, 2011, 01:27 AM // 01:27

I used to have an OS 15^50 r8 Amber Longbow. Sure it was a longbow, so not that great, but I had it no a pvp char who I accidently deleted >.< Haha it was my fault though so no one to blame but me

Fluffy Kittens · Sep 04, 2011, 07:08 AM // 07:08

accidentaly zoning out after i've killed 400+ mobs during vanquishing!

Abedeus · Sep 04, 2011, 11:25 AM // 11:25

My 1 million xp survivor Elementalist opened "Do Not Touch!" treasure.

It was week after Nightfall release and I didn't know about wikis...

Gamewench · Sep 04, 2011, 03:22 PM // 15:22

I too have taken an extended break.
After coming back this time I was blindly invited to a guild. Now I don't mind joining a guild at all. I'm not completely unsociable. Right off the bat the guild leader has me recruiting. Everyday I've recruited in various quest hubs with no nibbles (as is such when a game this old already has many established guilds)
Anyways, I'm disabled at the moment and rather ill

I play to have fun and relax and chill with fun people. I told the guild leader this and he/she says ' No problem, just recruit sometimes.' Yesterday, they said now Pickle, dont forget to recruit( which I had been doing all day) Anyhoo, I left *shrug*
That's the worse which is pretty tame in my observation =)
btw up for any mature/laidback guild offers <3
