Oxymoron FTW.

Or your opinion differs from mine, nope, can't be that.

Contrary to popular belief, when dyed correctly and using the correct setup chaos gloves and monk FoW does look good. The only other female monk armor I like is labyrinthine, which I also have. The blindfold is also usually hidden, if I could dye it then I would use it more often, but I had left over chalices and nothing to spend it on, so what the heck =P.

My war also has black elite glads chest / gloves, vabbi legs and fow boots and a seperate hot pink setup because I got tired of buying all the black and pink color combos whenever I got bored (and in the end, its cheaper to just have 2 separate sets). I personally love the hot pink dread mask, elite glads chest / gloves, vabbi legs and fow boots. Some people find that disgusting, but I rather enjoy it.

Or I am not into aesthetically displeasing attire. Wait, can't be that since the majority *has* to be right.

Multiple choice question:

A) Chaos Gloves are a waste of Ecto.
B) Chaos Gloves look like sh*t on every armor except female mesmer Obsi.
C) Monks use shiny thingies because of the "if you can't heal them, dazzle them with bullsh*t" philosophy.
D) All of the above.

Hint: D.

there, that should be all you need to make successful guesses and get 25 keys per month per account. I have 3 accounts with GW because i like to play with my brother and roommate so i get almost 400k per month.

Or, you're not always right and your opinion just differs from someone else and your ego is crushed that not everyone agrees with you so you have to make a big deal out of it, which is what you are doing (oh look, you'll probably disagree with this and continue to make a big deal out of nothing which is why I won't bother responding again to your child-like temperament).

Regarding how expensive they are... when you have as much in game wealth as me (over 15 million overall in liquid wealth, not including rare weapons / shields and tradeables, only armbraces, ectos and plat) and you spend roughly 1 million a month on average, nothing is too expensive. Chaos gloves is a very casual 2-5 days of farming variant on how UW feels like treating me (or a single day of UW farming if it feels like being generous).

I'm sorry, this has never transpired before and simply cannot occur. The very fabric of space would be torn apart and that would mean the end of the world. Also space.

Oh and, believe it or not, I do not possess an online ego. So, nothing crushed here. No matter how much you stroke your e-peen and flaunt your "wealth".

Let's play a game of buying pretty things for upier!
You start!

Why risk it when all you really have to do is buy another guild wars campaign and put in tourny predictions then sell your Zkeys.

Cause zkeys are new and most of the gold buying was probably done by people before they were implemented?

Cause it's easier and they probably won't get caught anyways?

Cause it's instant rather than wait a month and take a chance at getting nothing?

That's my guess... But anyone who feels they have to buy gold online now days is a complete retard. I quit for nearly a year, came back with no gold. Voted on monthlies across 4 accounts and played normally... In about a week I bought a crystalline, eternal shield, another obsidian set. I don't PvE. That was all from voting and doing GvG or RA.

Honestly, it's easier now than it ever has been to make money. Even without voting on monthlies, zkeys alone are an insanely easier way to make money --- for PvPers, at least. Before, we'd cap out faction and just PvP cause it was fun and the only thing we'd get from it is the satisfaction of winning. But now? We can directly trade faction for gold... Across the years I've had my faction capped for very extended amounts of time that if zkeys had been around since the beginning I'd probably have 3 sets of fow each per like 13 characters... Voting on the monthly is just sleazy... Zkeys are what really made it easier to make money.

Kinda glad too, cause the only reason I PvE'd was to get armor cause I wanted to look pretty. Now days all I have to do is get to the place to get the armor and PvP to buy the armor.

To be honest, if they just let us unlock armor sets with faction (for any time use), it would eliminate my having to PvE whatsoever!

Seriously. If I could have 15k sets and FoW via faction (not insane amounts of tourney points), then I would... I wouldn't have PvE chars. I'd have PvP ones, and it would be great cause then I wouldn't give a damn about Anet being slow as hell at adding a barber shop... I'd just reroll my character and get to use the same armor and weapon sets I was before, with all skills unlocked. That would be so amazing... Come to think of it, they should really do that...

I made 200k just doing UW in a week >.>

Why would I want to bother with other stuff?

every month? people occasionally spend stacks at a time, but it usually isnt every month

The Red Messenger · Nov 05, 2008, 03:30 AM // 03:30

for those that dont pay attention to the top pvp guilds/hero battlers (like me), i always just dragged those tourney win predictions straight across; 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 etc. and 100k is about right. usually got about 18-23 keys per month that way.

but before the z keys, i bought online gold a couple times. basically i figured out how long it takes me to farm 1000k, and how long it took me to earn the money to BUY 1000k, and it was faster to earn the cash and just buy it online. i think thats what a lot of players might have been thinking when they bought GW gold. that or just lazy, or have plenty of money to spare and/or dont care for farming

After this cleansing, I put on a fresh layer of protective covering, and make my way to a room of tile and pine to prepare a sizable meal consisting of wheats, dairy products, and the eggs of small winged creatures. Sometimes if I'm feeling abnormally famished, I ingest the flesh of rotund scavengers as well!

After all of this I dedicate a period of about four to five hours to menial tasks that I will not go into detail about, then follow that period of time up with another meal to satiate my digestive tract, generally consisting of more wheats and dairy products, with a bit of meat taken from the winged creatures that produced the eggs I ingested during my previous meal. This meal is followed by another four hours of menial tasks, which again is followed by a meal, larger than the second but not quite as large as the first; what this meal consists of is entirely dependent on the contents of a large white storage receptacle that is kept in the room of tile and pine, so unfortunately, I can not go into great detail regarding it.

After the third and final meal of my day, I spend my last few waking ours enjoying myself through various means, often times via electronic recreational times or engaging in physical contact with a member of the opposite sex that I have taken as a partner, of sorts. Soon, the time comes for me to return to my sleeping quarters, and it is then that I rest my weary body, and prepare to begin the entire process anew after seven to eight hours.

And that, dear jiggles, is how I live on this "100k" you speak of a month.
