Curse

I lost 10.7k hours of my life. Life is priceless, for everything else there's Mastercard.

I've come to my senses over the last few months and have regained some of my social life. I'm only on GW for an hour or two here and there. I feel much happier about my life. Eventually i hope i can quit GW for good and get on with my life.

; )

Sorry but I disagree here, it seems like a wrong approach.

This quote reminds me of what people say when they quit relationships. They often complain "omg I just wasted 5 years of my life with him/her"... of course failing to realise they had fun and enjoyed most of those 5 years. At the very end of this time period the person forgets all the good times and focuses on the 'wasted time' part.

Guild Wars is pretty much the same thing. People read their '/age' and think on 'how much time they wasted', but they forget how much fun they had playing the game... Time you spend enjoying something or having fun isn't really 'wasted' or 'lost'.

If you were out partying instead of playing GW, you could be in a better job now, or with a girlfriend... or have died in a car accident, or been killed by someone... we just need to keep in mind everything can happen so it's hard to say something was a complete waste of time or not.

Edit: agreed on balancing play time with social life time, of course.

q8 +5nrg^50 HCT20% Blood Truncheon - Merched just after bought.
q8 Death 10/10 pre-nightfall Platinum Staff - Salvaged before salvage warning update.

Lent a q8 Str -2s/+45s Kappa Shield to a real life friend as a marker for some ectos I owed him and he sold it for silly amounts.

Deleted: q8 zodiac Sword 15 Enchant, q8 GPB 15 Enchant for some unknown reason. Recently saw them in one of my old Awesome Weapons threads (customized) and they're nowhere on my account. Annoying.

I've been really secure with my account, so I've never lost anything of great importance.

Only thing I kind of regret is remaking my 2nd oldest character, and lost some birthday presents.

I guess another bad thing was me deleting my rit with full 15k kurzick (such a waste of money), because I thought he was worthless The month after I delete him, the rit buff happened. /facepalm

riktw · Oct 22, 2009, 01:07 PM // 13:07

3 ecto;s i merched, i am save with my password, use a different one for GW, and never told anyone.
and i got a good antivirus and i am not a total idiot.
i reccomend you to do the same

Odinius · Oct 22, 2009, 01:15 PM // 13:15

merched 22 ecto when they were about 10k
Bodrus the Outfitter never even blinked when he took them.
Haven't used him since...

Aussie Boy · Oct 22, 2009, 01:26 PM // 13:26

As other have said I also merched black dyes in pre for 1g back in the day
thinking that's all they were worth. lol
4 or 5 years later I still can kick myself remembering that.

If you want to own 1, 2, 4, 80 accounts that's your own business (besides the obvious profit for Anet).

What have I lost?

Deleted char accidentally thinking it was my pvp slot.
Deleted pvp chars with money someone paid back and also with cigils and such...
Got perma'd on one account for for RRing.
Will probably do a CC charge back dispute on my lost account, just bought it not even a week ago and got banned within hours of usage.
I haven't really lost anything valuable.

shortly after factions came out, i spent the better part of a week grinding in FA and AB to get the amber i needed for my monk's elite kurz armor. amber was very expensive at the time, and the faction rewards certainly weren't as good as they are today. i finally got everything, and went to the merchant to sell a few things...and bam, thanks to lag, i totally sold him all my amber. i cried a little inside.

That was hilarious.

Never really lost anything, so nothing to add.

Chushingura · Oct 22, 2009, 02:04 PM // 14:04

I lost the green Dragon Axe (endgame Factions) long, long ago when I most likely merched it by accident.

I also "lost" all the materials and plat value every time I delete 15k armors on characters.

Pinkest One · Oct 22, 2009, 02:17 PM // 14:17

Dropped a 40/40 Torment heal set for e-peen reasons on a VS run, before i can pick them up the perma maps into slavers.

Ahaha SO funny

Totaly made my day :P

JonnieBoi05, you are leading the lost-title

Hope you don't do what my friend did, quitting GW because he lost ONE kuunavang, back in the days when they weren't worth as much as these days

Dragons Avatar · Oct 22, 2009, 03:03 PM // 15:03

Saw people talking about Silverwing bows ingame, checked Wiki for picture, figured.. i gotta get me one of those! Made a char called Laydee Silverwing, bought elite druids and a q9 silverwing.. then realized i never realy used the char so decided to delete it and make a more usefull char, forgot to take the items off so lost the bow. Just when i thought i had reached the highest tier in stupidity, i went and did the same a second time xD... now once again i have a ranger with elite druids, however i havent been able to gather the courage to buy a 3rd silverwing lolol

Also deleted a max Wisdom monk before the nov 08 update =[

Aussie Boy · Oct 22, 2009, 04:00 PM // 16:00

Oh also to add to my other post.
I do lose my mind while playing GW does that count? lol

Woe is karma.

Carboplatin · Oct 22, 2009, 06:39 PM // 18:39

Eragon Zarroc · Oct 22, 2009, 07:00 PM // 19:00
