I'm surprised that no one judges the action when someone flashes a hoh /rank emote on ppl?
- so... I have a hero rank and that gives me the right to flash it all around every time I can but ppl won't say I'm a noob cus I'm "good" in hoh - lol

/zrank & /rank flashing constantly on ppl are bad - not just zrank but the other emote as well

a) Call him a stupid n00b in a PM. Repeatedly. Be sure to misspell a lot, mention his mother, his sister, and the good time you three had last night.

b) Kill him and rank him back... owait

c) I'm surprised this topic gets anything other than troll responses... what is this, 2005?

I got a zrank but lets see... I EARNED MINE by doing pvp and getting balthazar points and not waisting my cash. I get titles and not get them the cheap way. Just ignore the people who do that to u and just play something else like STRESS RELIEVER that always helps :P. You can always kill them then dance all over them.

A perfect reasonable answer from Anet would be: 'It's working as intended'

Molock · Dec 06, 2008, 02:45 AM // 02:45

I always zrank corpses of people who talk shit in Local. Why do I do it? Because it enrages them and they flame which makes me happy.

JoeKnowMo · Dec 06, 2008, 02:58 AM // 02:58

Hopefully this thread will drive up the price of zkeys. 6k ea... gogogo

welcome to teh interwebz, may I take your coat?

Usually people zrank to show off, but I myself only zrank whammos who attempt to insult you with variations of the word "noob" because you're a cheater for kiting.

And yes, zrank does not show skill of any kind. It's like a torment weapon, VS, or any other title in the game; having them means nothing, they're just flashy. And if it seriously ruins your gaming experience, you've got problems.

Kook~NBK~ · Dec 06, 2008, 03:14 AM // 03:14

Anyone who /zranks as an expression of "superiority" is doing nothing but showing their a**, ESPECIALLY in PvP areas. Once you consider that that emote has nothing to do with skill and more to do with bought Z-keys or making good guesses in the tournaments (in most cases), then it's very easy to understand that it's the other guy's problem and not yours.

Amazing, I love how people use "earned" for crap like this. So the gold others payed suddenly appeared on their chars? "not waisting my cash" <- Press H, divide your Zaishen points by 5, multiply with 5000, type in /zrank, gg! I am sure it was worth it.

Anyways, I'm with you on this! Meet me in Umbral am 1 later so we can farm the Secret Lair thousands of times for our honest Party titles! Or add me to flist for the next event so we can earn our titles with Raptors and Vaettirs!
Da tru playaway!

Earned...

ummm...
theres a difference between earning a title directly vs earning money to buy the title

sweet tooth and drunkard r obviously more materialistic titles and money has a more direct role into earning those titles

u mite as well say someone who paid for runners on every single one of his missions earned his legendary guardian title

kostolomac · Dec 06, 2008, 05:31 AM // 05:31

I only got zranked 2 times in AB, however it often happens that the someone from the losing side in RA shows his glowing animal when he dies , just making himself more pathetic. It's not a nice thing to do, but people aren't nice.

I would never call the last an earned title

on the other hand I see no reason to do it the "honest" way. Almost everybody that goes for guardian has done most or all of the missions at one point and there is nothing wrong with buying help or more effectively time if you have the ressources.

The difference isnt that big though, it is possible to get party etc by farming specific areas or farming during events. And there was a lot of sarcasm in my post that you might or might not have missed

.

After all, everything in this game is money in one form or another.

I don't mind bought titles, it's not up to me to decide how others want to achieve them.

I just dislike calling everything "earned" and thus devaluating other's achievements, especially for crap like the Ztitle

Hell, I went offtopic on such an interessting matter! <- very

Back to topic: /zranking anywhere is stupid. I stopped Tombs around E/Mo Dual Smite with r7 and that might have been the last time I used my /rank ugly dog. Emotes don't mean anything. The Z-emote is Anets answer to all the PvE players that wanted something flashy without PvPing. Too bad the flashy is that ugly. If you get /zranked, don't bother. Really not worth it.
