Curse

ok.. so i've seen 3 level 1 characters with 15k armor, and almost 7 level 4 eles with searing flames/glowing gaze and 15k Vabbian armor ect...

i know HOW they did it.. but how could Guild Wars just LET people exploit the game so easily. people that dont have good guilds or cant get in one cant just have people run them ect, they have to play, and play hard, rarely ever learning the game well and getting called "noobs" a lot. my guild used to run members in Proph/NF too, but i put a stop to it cause i realized our members weren't learning how to play the game! what's your opinions?

My word of advice is to join a good guild

0.o???

I don't see the problem with it.

I don't really give it a second glance. I prefer to have beginners to play the game normally so they know the gist of the game. Those who should only get ran are those who are already beaten the game.

Okay, I just checked my calendar, and it doesn't say July '05, so what's the deal?

-Loki- · Jan 31, 2007, 12:21 AM // 00:21

People are still complaining about this? I thought people stopped caring like... 18 months ago.

Mekkakat · Jan 31, 2007, 12:25 AM // 00:25

ok? i had 80% of those people that i met not even know what a whisper, or PM was, and some didnt even know how to trade???? you think thats fair? and yeah, i care cause i like this game and dont want to see it end up like WoW. w/e, if you guys think its ok for noobs to get crap like that then fine. i just got wind of a level 7 with full Obsidian. thats just gay imo. i've never ascended earlier than level 18 and thats final. w/e.

How is that a exploit?

People do have much gold to spend on their new characters. So, why not get the best armor as soon as you can.

People spend many straining hours to gather gold to have their favorite armor, so they deserve every piece of it.

I don't think its exploit.

Mekkakat · Jan 31, 2007, 12:31 AM // 00:31

these are people being GIVEN the gold by guild members.. dont you see the flaws in that?!? wtf...

rohara · Jan 31, 2007, 12:35 AM // 00:35

not really your place to judge others' way of playing the game.

i'll bet most of those people are friends of long-time players and aren't really interested in doing all the noobie stuff, and just want to play with their friends. others are long time players that cba to do noobie stuff over and just want to get their new char up to speed asap. nothing wrong with that, imo.

Note to self: having friends is exploiting life.

Since when does level even matter in GW? I'm at a loss, here.

Seriously, it takes far, far less time levelling to 20 than it does earning the money to buy 15k/Obsidian armor. So, either they were already rich and funding lowbie characters (which doesn't matter because they are already skilled enough), they got a good guild and they funded their armor at a low level (which doesn't matter because that guild can help them become better skilled), or they purchased their gold online (which doesn't matter because they're worthless anyway and will hopefully be banned soon).

Either way, it doesn't matter, not your business, so why fuss?

No, I've done it, I've taken a brand new character straight to get max armour and then ran through the game using that character... The game doesn't have the replay value to keep upwards of 5 characters going...

I tell new members in my guild not to do it first time, but I help them second time out and actively help them, especially if they want that character pvp ready quickly

Actually, you said...

Quote:

Which strongly suggests that you actually want other people's opinions. And other people's opinions are... they don't care.

Hold on, I agreed with you... the first time through the game, however, if they are doing this, they obviously know the game well enough to know to get a runner and get the armour and weapons, so i doubt they are all n00b's as you say they are anyway

The Ernada · Jan 31, 2007, 12:45 AM // 00:45

Who cares? What does it matter what others are doing? As long as it doesnt affect you in a negative way (i.e. imbalanced in PVP) then what does it matter? This is along the lines of people complaining that others can get stuff more easily (i.e. complainers of inscriptions)

If these people are being handed everything and being run everywhere without lifting a finger, they are just screwing themselves out of fun and experience. But why should you worry so much about it?

Mekkakat · Jan 31, 2007, 12:47 AM // 00:47

im not retarded, i've been playing for years and when i roll a new char (when i did) i played the games cause i liked them, these people have NEVER played, dont know the mechanics, and dont even know what their skills are called. im closing this post

Mekkakat · Jan 31, 2007, 12:51 AM // 00:51

and for the millionth time, all i said was what are your views on this way of exploiting the game, not how UPSET i was about this. omg i think you're all idiots honestly. at least read the op before posting. i dont care if someone gets screwed cause they bum rushed the game, i DO think its unfair to hard working players that cant get shit like maxed al armor cause guild discrimination or lack of exp that isnt their fault. shut up and stop posting, im tired of hearing you all bash me for having sympathy for hard working low levels. w/e

rohara · Jan 31, 2007, 12:56 AM // 00:56

wow just a tip, dude...don't ask for people's opinions if you can't handle a difference in opinion.
