Why dont you people go and make threads commenting on people who wear "gold" chains? sneakers? piercings? tattoos? use certain brands of cars, wear certain clothes?, choose a particular sexual orientation? have a particular tone of skin?

after all. we can allways tell what a person is REALLY LIKE just by LOOKING AT THEM.

lol that's what Guru is now, lets make fun of everyone who enjoys Guild Wars.

All I see in this thread is a bunch of people who can't afford Chaos Gloves. Someone suggested a list of armor/titles/skins that are "acceptable" to the obvious 1337 community that Guru as become.

I'm guessing there is none. The true test of any leet player it to register here, and make a post about how all the elite things in the game are silly.

Why don't you start your own club of people who are elitist about not being elitist?

You'd find a good following if you look through this whole thread because about 1 in 5 posters seem to think just like you.

Heh, you think it's jealousy? Nice try, but no. Chaos gloves are pretty much the epitome of "I'm rich, I know this looks fugly but LOOK AT ME I'M RICH DID I MENTION I'M RICH!?" They don't go with any FoW suit, especially warrior, but guess what armor everyone wears them with? I don't have a problem with FoW in general, other than the fact that 3/4 of the people in Kamadan dist 1 are sporting it, dyed black of course (which just covers up all the details in the armor...), but the FoW + chaos gloves + ninja mask that doesn't go with you class at all = ridicule.

To the "bling", sneakers, cars, and clothes: There's no thread because this is a GW forum, not a fashion forum. I know I make fun of sorostitutes wearing, say, a guy's dress shirt with shorts too short to be seen underneath, but that doesn't seem particularly relevant on these forums.

To the sexual orientation: I'm pretty sure people don't choose to be gay just to show off how rich they are. People making fun of people wearing expensive stuff that looks like trash are doing it because it's incredibly pretentious, and those people are choosing to look horrible because they think it makes them look "1337".

To the skin tone: That's not even a choice, so...yeah, way to fail?

Even with all the chaos glove hate in this thread,i actually like chaos gloves,and have two sets.
But on to the point of the thread-most overrated thing in the game is war FoW.

I see a lot of people making idiotic threads like this one - does that count?

People have many reasons for choosing the armor they wear. What looks dumb to you, may not be dumb to them (or anyone else). Maybe they just don't care if it looks "dumb". Maybe they want to look "dumb" (just to piss you off.)

Many people (such as myself) are not too interested in what title they are showing, so many times, the title they are showing is simply the last one they were working on or the last one they were using.

As with the armor, people have many reasons to carry whatever weapon they happen to like/want. What looks hideous to you......

Some of you kiddies need to remember that this is not high school (or at least - not your high school). GW players don't need to be concerned about what some group of doofuses think is dumb/hideous/kewl - or maybe they are concerned with what their buddies think is dumb/hideous/kewl.

And, I agree with those that say most of you "high end haters" are just jealous - get over it!

Just.nl · Oct 15, 2008, 03:45 PM // 15:45

I like chaos gloves. But their way to expensive for what you get.. 75 ecto's for chaos gloves.. Then you could better buy a full FoW set..

I like monk FoW alot, but the gloves sux.. You better could take Ascalon gloves.. Thats better than thet ugly gloves from FoW..

Same with Ritualist FoW, i got one word for that: A.w.e.s.o.m.e.
But the headwrap.. You could do tea in it.. For that you can choose a blindfold..

I dont like the gloves from EoTN, mostly they only look on some armor.. Dragon Gauntlets.. Ohh nice.... But they dont fit with my armor..

So not evrything is nice from GW, to expensive for what you get, dont fit with the other and go on..

tcratty · Oct 15, 2008, 04:17 PM // 16:17

who cares what anyone thinks as long as you like thats all that should matter and doesnt anyone just play the game for the fun of anymore

Valcion · Oct 15, 2008, 05:38 PM // 17:38

Not sure about overrated, but I hate most of the assassin armors, and since my main pve toon is a sin...CAN I PLEASE GET A SET OF ARMOR THAT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE I WON'T STAB MYSELF JUST FROM WALKING?

Just curious, what are your sin armor set ups? I'm currently using seitung for body/leg, cathan for glove, shing jea for boot, and the mo zing mask for head. Elite cathan actually looks pretty good, but I can't get over that huge red arrow pointing at the butt on the leg piece >___>

*Darcy* · Oct 15, 2008, 10:18 PM // 22:18

And I want to file a complaint on the ranger armor evolution. Why would a ranger (bow user, underbrush, sneaking up on foes, etc) wear armor with things sticking out all over so that you sound louder than a herd of Ntouka when moving around.

So when I see someone in those armors, I wish they would buy FoW. At least it looks like something a ranger would wear.

jawapodracer · Oct 15, 2008, 11:12 PM // 23:12

Most overrated is black. Most other colors look better on most armor. : /

That is why I keep my status offline and only a guild chat on while in this area...

AcidDaze · Oct 16, 2008, 10:36 AM // 10:36

sorry noob question, you say you put yourself on offline, how do you do this i've been looking for the right options menu for ages

Shiing! · Oct 16, 2008, 11:09 AM // 11:09

Friends list. Top of the dropdown. Bottom option - Offline.

Hmm, what annoys me most? Has to be chaos gloves. They're so tacky.

faraaz · Oct 16, 2008, 01:26 PM // 13:26

What pisses me off? Title RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOs

In order to qualify that statement, here is my personal definition of Title RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO:

Title RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO -> A person of low self esteem who believes titles grant him the right to annoy and/or behave obnoxiously towards other players, using his title as a qualification of (shaky, at best) self worth in the face of total lack of skill otherwise in GW.

Exhibit A: KoaBD r4 Wammo with Black FoW, Chaos Gloves and a Kuunavang minipet who /zranks random people, but doesn't have Dragon Slash capped on his warrior.

I highly doubt that.

I spent hundreds of hours standing in HA ID1, in AB outpost and less, but still a substantial amount in Temple and I can't believe someone "shouted" at you as soon as you entered, let alone six people. Yes, there are idiots that flame you for no reason, but they'll do it only when you're talking/doing something already and I've yet to see six of them.

So move along please, and take your BS with you.

Skyy High · Oct 17, 2008, 12:49 PM // 12:49

^ Agreed.

People in Temple of Balth are too busy fake cybering or spewing racial hatred or something along those lines to notice one lone ele zoning in in *gasp* orange flameforged armor!

keesie · Oct 17, 2008, 04:35 PM // 16:35

zaishen title is overrated, cause ppl who are spamming the emote think they are leet pvp-ers. ZAISHEN ISNT A PVP TITLE OMGBBQHAX
