Are these people stupid enough to think that people don't/won't buy them?

Ben.

Exactly the reasson why I don't do any speedclears.
Not even with the guild or ally. Shure there is some skill in do it the fastest
way possible... but Dmn,, to my opinion its the most nubish way to do
UW or FoW.. take a random team with every body his own favorite build
and finish it that way... It's more fun and much less nubish.

You could do alot of raging if you outright state "I bought mine" once you are in the midst of a wipe during a SC

How much fun would this be?

1. Go to ToA
2. Spam "WTB Stones (for a very low price. Unless you really wanted to buy some.)" for 5 minutes or so.
3. Then spam "LFG - Have Stones"

Imagine the flames!!!!!

o_O so i'm superpro
i have like 75-80 mysterious summon stones, 25 zaishen, few snowman, few grentch, few merchants, raptor, devourer and some i forgot

what a joke idea, and worse, to me its new
sigh, another reason to want the full hero party maybe?

(not going offtopic here)

i'm sorry to say, but in the future i may not join anyone anymore if it goes like this......
i mean, there always are people who like to help, and i know someone who likes merch stones for his vaettir farms, but stones or any item being a reason to be able to join, that would end the normal multiplayer part, and make it a hardcore gamers mmo

with normal multiplayer i mean: a game where people help and join each other to have fun, this is going too far, its merely a so called "pro" game this way, which shouldn't be online

i'm laughing at this subject, but at the same time i doubt i find anyone to do missions or such with if the ones who just wanna help leave gw now

like: running from ascalon to sardelac (1 town further

) for 10k
i can solo it, lol

well, i'll wait for the next thing to show up, maybe we must have ecto's to be able to join parties -_-

I'm fairly sure they mean Ghastly Summoning Stones.

Lol.... would love to see their face when you show them a whole lot of mysterious summoning stones instead

means i have no idea

so you gotta show em fake "elite" stones?

the word "idiot" has another meaning right now
taking summon stones to prove you can do it, just say: i sold them 3 days ago to an old friend

arenanet: remove those summon stones, or let nicholas have them too

this elitism goes to their head
perfection does not exist

let anet lock fow and uw for 1 week, without telling it'll come back
we'll be able to see the people who can play normal

i'll be posting in that "7 hero team" topic about this soon

gw is no longer a friendly multiplayer game, maybe for some people who didnt leave gw yet, but it becomes worse

for now, i'll go to ToA

no flaming or offending, just making fun of it

like telling em myst stones are much better, they wont know what to say, lol

*i'll get alot of enemies soon, haha*

Can't say I'm complaining when they buy mine @4k/ea.

I think its kind of funny i was joining a UWSC team the first time since last halloween and the leader of the group told me to show stones, i was an SoS rit a job that doesnt exactly take brains and not really high stressed in terraway and he still flamed me for ten minutes saying no noobs allowed and kicked me from group an hour later my buddy pm'ed me from that group and told me the group leader the one requesting for stones caused the team to fail hard

RedStar · Sep 06, 2010, 01:21 PM // 13:21

Meh before they said "Exp group" "No fail group" "No noob", now they say "show stones". Same old story...some people want to Speed Clear to be fast (duh! xD) so they think it's a certain way to attract seemingly good players.
Sometimes those groups are actually fun, the other 80% of the time, it's just another group that is more likely to fail because some really inexperienced players will go into them and will be too shy/embarrassed to asked any important questions.

So yeah...the risk of joining a PUG xD.

This is why Guild Wars is great! No one has to play with people they don't want to :-)

To those who are suggesting never finding a pickup group again, please don't! Some of us like to have fun just playing the game, regardless of build, skill or any silly 'stones' requirement. It may be idealism, but I like to think there are more out there than you commonly see (particularly in the forums!).

GW isn't such a hard game that a few funny random builds will cause headaches, except for a few areas best left alone. I still remember doing The Wilds mission with an 8 warriors PuG, and it was freakin' hilarious.

Karate Jesus · Sep 06, 2010, 03:13 PM // 15:13

Honestly, I always thought "Show Stones" meant that they wanted a pic of my cojones.

Ironically, every time I've sent the pic, they've let me in their group....so I wasn't even aware that "stones" meant something else.

Indeed; I've been able to sell 4=16k and 2=1e. Some people are pretty desperate for them.

I do enjoy finding groups that are friendly, but elite areas are dominated by, well, elitists. I can live with running builds people want, but, discrimination pushes people like me away. This is why I'm looking forward to GW2 when someone will walk up to me and not care about my build/rank/armor, we'll just team up and play.

CountessAmy · Sep 06, 2010, 07:01 PM // 19:01

Uh, maybe this makes us a bunch of noobs, but my guildies actually *use* their stones. I guess none of us will be able to pug in the Underworld.
