-the ranger thing is kinda anoying. its just in the early game all a ranger can do is spam bowshots, not very useful

The point of typing isn't to get your words out fast, it's to communicate with other people, either directly or indirectly. Communication requires coherence and understanding ^^

Well put!

That's my only addition to this fine list.

-going for the monk ONLY, no matter what, is not always the best strategy in random...

Another myth: you can pull with henchies. If they charge straight in you're doing it wrong.

- Gold items does not ALWAYS equal max damage/armour items!

-that high pitched quiet voice in teamspeak isn't necessarily a 13 yr old boy

-and related... a female in the team doesn't have to change the interactions or suddenly up the testosterone or suave factor of the team.

- You do not NEED a Monk. You can complete every mission & quest w/o one. Sure it will be more difficult but Monks are not necessary. Use your brain more often & you won't need a Monk to apply band-aids to your mistakes.

Nice post, here are a couple of things I've noticed:

- Yellow is not a nice colour on Mesmer armor
- Talking to everyone with a ! above them is not a good thing, specifically in UW

- Unless you're a Beastmaster, just because you can take a pet, does not mean you should
- Its not the end of the world if you fail in a mission/PvP match/quest/whatever, there is no need to abuse anybody, what did you lose? Nothing.

What about

-It's not that I'm a bad healer. I just don't like you.

-Contrary to a popular belief, the possibility that someone will pay any attention to you is inversely proportional to the amount of caps/exclamation marks you use in chat.

That means A=1/#c and e. Yeah I'm that good in math.

- Charging people 50 gold to run them to the Ruins of Surmia is not a good way of making money. (nor are similar acts)

not to rain on your parade, but i think arenanet mentioned (either on their website or on a fansite friday or interview) that they actually don't mind the whole 'running' thing, nor do they mind people offering it as a service -- however, they will not tolerate people who charge and scam people by just taking their money and not offering the service.

I have no problem with running. All I was saying was that people running to very easy areas for such a measily amount of gold is a waste of time. There are far better and faster ways of making money.

-Thunderhead Keep is not impossible
-Thunderhead Keep is easier and possible to do bonus with just you and all henchmen
-Your mom has nothing to do with GW, gosh!
-Newb is not an insult, it just means new player
-n00b is an insult, it means you're ignorant to new ideas and are sure you're the best always
-People say they're rank 2 in HoH
-Fame shows time played, not skill
-Guilds are somewhat tough to start, but don't give up
-15k armour is a waste of time
-Yo mama... <(*-*<)

And that's about it.

-Sometimes the more fun groups to be in aren't the ones who complete the mission flawlessly
-It's not necessary to do every quest and bonus the first time. You will not die a horrible and painful death if you do not (For serious, some guy started cursing my PUG out when he found out none of us knew how to do the bonus)
-Having Drok's armor and elite skills on your level 10 Wa/Mo in Ascalon Arena does not make your dick bigger.
-It is possible to find a good PUG.
-Arguing in a party does not improve morale nor does it cause us to respect you. I'm sick of having to heal you solely because you called the other monk a n00b and now he's blacklisted you.
-Sometimes it's not the skill of the individual players that matters, it's how they work together.

-No, I am quite certain you did not do that to my mother last night.
-Do NOT run around and make sure all the red dots follow you, then decide to join back up with your buddies.
-PVP is an ever-changing thing. just because your build lost once does not mean it wont be effective with a little tweaking.
-Just because my level 10 necro is at yak's bend does not mean i havent cleared the game with more characters than you can count.
-Alesia is not responsible for your stupid mistakes.
-5 superior runes is not a good idea for pvp.
-Yes, female elementalists have animated breasts. get over it.

-There IS a SEPERATE channel for TRADES, so you don't have to spam the main channel.

Ascalon, LA, Droknar's Dist 1,2 and probably 3 will be spammed 24/7 in both trade and normal chat no matter how much you complain to the spammers. If you want to chat find a better place to wait for a real trade system ^^

One and Two · Sep 06, 2005, 05:37 AM // 05:37

people use normal chat to stand out. and get shouted at for standing out.

edit: in trade, or course
