Getting the topic back on track, not that this is a stupid/n00b thing, but I had a party member in shiver peaks carry a keg the entire mission. It was pretty funny to see him in the cutscene holding that thing.

If a guy flamed you for being Christian just because you said so here I feel sorry for him. Either he has nothing to do in life but pick a meaningless fight or someone who called themselves a Christian hurt him badly in some way. Either way it is sad.

I joined my first guild at lvl 2 with my first character. I stayed with that guild until I had gotten to lvl 20. It was a small guild, with about 12 members, only a couple of which played actively. These few, however, were fun people and I teamed with them as much as possible.

Shortly after I got to lvl 20, one of the other active members in the guild suddenly quit. I too was disatisfied with constantly having so few people to play with, so I PM'd them and asked about the new guild they had joined, lookng for some new options and new people to play with.

Here's how the conversation went:

Me: So, you found a new guild? Do you like it?
Him: Yeah, its great! Why? You want an invite?

Me: Well, I have been looking around a bit.
Him: No prob! I'll have an officer send you an invite!

Me: Ok, thanx...I'll check it out.
Him: One thing though. You're Asian, right?
Me: What?
Him: You're Asian, aren't you?
Me: Um...no.
Him: Oh.
Me: Why does that matter?
Him: It's an Asian-only guild only azns can play in it.
Me: Um...seriously?
Him: Yeah sorry bye.

So, I was excluded from a new guild because I wasn't "azn".
Now, it's just a game and people can do whatever the heck they want in their guilds, but I found this one a bit perplexing. Especially so, since I've seen stuff like this announced more than a few times while sitting in town.

It didn't really bother me, but I wonder what the reaction would be if I started a guild that was "white-only" and asked members if they were "pure-white".

Probably not very good.

That's a bummer, but if that's what they want, so be it. There's alot of funny honkeys out there who they will be missing

Because GraceAlone has the AUDACITY to try to recruit Christian players for a Christian Guild.
So OFCOURSE, this automatically lets all the morons in the world open up their can of hate and spew it forth, because after all, in a country with freedom of opinion and freedom of religion, how DARE you try to play a game with likeminded people.

Grace, report this to Anet. MAYBE they'll do something about it (though I doubt it.)

we were in nolani at the bonus, 5 minutes before we started it me and some other guy had constantly been saying "do not aggro the mob", so 1 ranger goes and attack, meanwhile me and the other guy are saying "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WTF ARE YOU DOING!", he eventually got killed and we were all happy, when the charr finally got REALLY close to the door, some stupid ele attacked, and killed them all and then left. why the hell do people do this? i just dont get it.
