Well, my friend got me started on Guild Wars, then we both got another friend of ours started on guild wars. I'm certainly not the biggest philanthropist but the three of us are continuously trying to support each other in anyway we can. We will do whatever we can for each other so each of us can progress along nicely.

If I won the eternal I would sell it and split the profits equally between the three of us. None of us are wealthy in the game so even the split profits of a single item can help us further advance financially.

Couple weeks ago my friend was tricked into selling a buddy key for 100k and told the hacker his account info. the hacker took everything including his armor, my friend was very upset because he had alot of elite armor sets. since he is my bro, i sold my tormented recurve bow that i just got and it took me a month to save up for it and i gave him the money to get a jumpstart on getting his stuff back. I did this for him because i know he would do the same for me... If i got the eternal i would try to buy another tormented recurve bow

Guild Wars:
I gave over over 60 minipets, including Mini Oni, Mini Mad King and Mini Rabbit

In Real Life:

At my school there is this boy who has cerebral-palzy or something (can't spell that well), and has to be transported around in this wheelchair. Some kids in our school decided to have a fundraiser for this boy for a new wheelchair, because he had outgrown the one he currently had. Near the end, they were afraid they wouldn't have enough, so I went up, and out of my heart, gave all the money I had in my wallet, which was quite alot.

I felt very good inside.

As for what'd i'd do with it, I would either:

a) Sell it so I can help my recently hacked friend regain his money
b) Sell it so I can buy a VS
c) Keep it and wield it on my cryer or ele.

After bout 3 days of long work helped my brother and his two friends get all the way from shing jea to Lutgardis [without them dieing] so they can go get r3 survivor :S.

If I won the Eternal i would probably sell it so that i could host more events in my alliance that include prizes

i helped a random little old woman wth her grocerys at costco

hmm, seems a little weird to be writing things i've done to help others. most of the time i'll just drop what I happen to be doing if a guildie needs help. I've also tried to create a guild thats a haven for the noob. gets a little tedious sometimes, but its good to give new players a firm grounding in the basics. I've also got a very open policy about crafting materials and items (Excepting right now the stuff i'm saving for FoW armor). if someone needs something that I have and am not using i'll offer it to them. i guess i try to spend a majority of my time making the game fun for others. accomplishing things they need to accomplish and the like. makes the game more fun for me if others are having fun as well.

I lost 80 ectos because my reading ability is really bad when I'm tired. Bought an obby edge for 130e, accidentally sold for 50e to someone that didn't give it back to me claiming they taught me a lesson. I helped someone make roughly 80e >_>

Since then Ive just been blowing my money off on random stuff like... free ascalon moneyz for people.

_charity case ftw

Bad luck the last couple of months in GW, perhaps this...

2 years ago, at my little brothers 13rd birthday i bought Guild Wars Prophecies for him, later on I've bought the remaining Guild Wars games for him.

Now the thing with my brother is that he is slightly challenged, his brain is not that well evolved - a retard one might say.

We usually play together after dinner, which i quite enjoy, 'coz frankly, he is VERY ENTHUSIASTIC. I believe it's time for some quotes now: "Hahaha! I killed them all!", "Don't mess with me and bro!", "Got you evil monster!" and "Who's the Boss!?" The first time my brother shouted out "Who's the Boss?!" i made a laugh so epic it imploded on itself, literally! It was a true moment of pure epicness.

As time went by my brother became surprisingly good and one day he began titlehunting. As i'm writing he is stuck at 27 maxed titles, only needing the three consumable titles.

If I got this eternal shield i would sell it and buy consumables for my brother so he could also be a God Among Mere Mortals ingame.

2 months ago i convinced my girlfriend of 4 years to buy GW and she wasn't really into it at first, but i went on wiki and showed her all of the armor and weapon types for all the different classes and said "pick the armor and weapons you like the most" and i bought her them. She picked Pink Elite Cabal armor for her female necromancer, and a tormented staff. (eek haha) so i saved up and bought her all of what she wanted, then she was more into it because she was lookin' good (you know how girls are). i helped her through a few campaigns and now she's very into it and its fun playing with her, hehe

if i got the eternal....shield/sword/bow/thing i would probably use it on which ever one of my chars needs it most, or i would give it to my girlfriend if she wants it

The Silent Menice {I might be spelling his name wrong here}

This is probably the main person I have helped. He is probably also my biggest in real life freind. I joined gw a little before factions came out and quickly convinced him to play. When Factions came out we both made assassins thinking with the logic that they where the coolest and obviously the cool are good. I went A/R for the pet because 2>1 and he went A/N
thinking 10>1. we managed to make it to the place where we could cap flesh golem for him even without having armor above the starter

. Our first try to cap it for him was hilarious looking back on it we both got 1 hit killed with our starter armor, of course we could not settle for this. I went over to his house and we treid many more times all with the predictable outcome of failure. We finally decided to make a plan.We spread out a bunch of paper in the comp room and discussed it using little o's for us and little x's for the enemy. I finally remembered his minons and thought I could find a way to kill myselfso he could have minions before the fight. we logged on and tried it. It worked somehow with his bone minions we managed to kill the boss and cap the elite for him before we died. Later as non noobs I helped him buy Max armor and weps.

If I got the eternal I would either use (awesome skin) or sell to make a guild

P.S. He now is incredibly inactive playing once a year or couple months he plays diff games now

Short and Sweet

I use to run Droks back in the day when warrior was "The man". 3k a run or 2k a run, been a long time and i dont really remember. Business was good and somtimes u get that occasional scammer- boo hoo QQ fer me somtimes. I pushed through and got through 30-40 runs fairly easy
Pretty nice and more money then I could imagine.
A few times I was really blown away with payments for my runs
-once a person gave me a free Victo's Axe And Bulwark (When they were still 100k each
-another time I was with these austrailians who were cool and made jokes as I ran to keep my company. this was late at night, prolly one of my last runs and i was just chill, runnin and them talkin. i get to my destination and each give me 10k
I know this story isnt suppose to be about others to u,but the opposite
but its nice to feel that people - even in a game - can be kind and generous, to those who cant always get what they want the moment they want them.
These kind of people leave a lasting impression on me and really show me the kind of uniqueness we can all have.

IGN: Aye Mon

as for the shield? i will probably sell for cheap -use the money to start a guild/alliance - prolly name it "The Gift Of Friend[Ship]" (Unless its taken)

My dad dabbled in GW a bit but could never get his wife to get interested. Well, he went on a business trip for a week and low and behold, she decides to give GW a try. (No pressure since he wasn't there looking over her shoulder telling her how to play.) Turns out she wasn't very good (she's not really a gamer), but with my help teaching her how to play, and showing her through some of the missions, she manages to catch up to his character in Elona (He had finished Tyria and Cantha, but not Elona). So when he returns and logs in to do some Elona missions, she hops on her computer and joins his group as a big surprise. It was very fun!

Anyway, not that big of a deal, but it was fun none-the-less

What would I do with a req8 eternal? I don't know, but I would sure feel sexy standing around weilding that thing!

azlnick · Feb 19, 2009, 02:13 AM // 02:13

I gave away an eternal for the same reason, I simply asked what the people in my alliance recently helped someone with. The one that appealed to me, I gave the eternal to.

As for what I would do with it, I would most likely thank the guy who gave it to me then very carefully double click it while it is in my inventory

joe-hio · Feb 19, 2009, 04:01 AM // 04:01

i posted my story (#51) earlier but i have another that is quite similar.
my little brother who is 10 plays this game and he's not awesome at it, and he has an assassin. if you read my other post, i did the same thing with him.
if you didn't read it, and don't feel like it :P then here's the thing. he didn't know much about really anything in GW and was starting to get frustrated because he was getting stuck in a lot of places, and he didn't have very good armor, so i decided to help him out. i took him on wiki and showed him all the different armor and weapon types, and asked him which ones he wanted. he picked White Ancient Armor and Salient daggers (i'm not a rich person so it took a few weeks) and when he logged on yesterday and looked at his character he spazzed out and now i'm helping him through the campaigns one by one.
(i spend more on others than i do on myself haha)

Not sure if you can post players IGN names, so if you wabt a reference from a different guild I help recently them send me a PM. When time permits I help players for free who use the chat for help. At the weekend I run a level 2 player who wanted the Survivor title from Yaks Bend to Lions Arch, except I am not a runner, lol, so had to clear the way. When waiting for a group in Doomlore Shrine I often help players to do the Stronghold, also at no charge even if they want to pay 5K, which was the offer the last tune made. For dungeon chests, should I already have the drop and no use for it, as a rare imho is a skin I do not have, I give the drop to a group member if they need it. I avoid the negative players and help those who want to play the game.

Not sure what type of eternal your offer is, should it be a sword I would use it on my Warrior Tune. If it is a bow, I already have and no need. The reason for the post is promote in game help, or as that other game says, need versus greed.

Magical Samurai · Feb 20, 2009, 05:31 PM // 17:31

Well, I might have to say the nicest thing I've done was gave a run to the Zaishen Chest to a guy asking for one in Great Temple of Balthazar.

I run out and walk him up to the chest, wishing him best of luck. He proceeds to thank me, and says he feels like an idiot for having requested such a simple task. I say it's no problem, wish him luck, and map out. I PM him in a minute, realizing he had asked the value of the chest before I mapped.
We've been talking for the past few weeks now, helping him get back into the game after his 2 years or so off.

As for what I'd do with the sword, I have to be honest - I'd most likely sell it, get the money, and save it up - funding for the guild events I always seem to end up scrounging prizes for. We hold monthly Guildie of the Month and Officer of the Month contests, and I never seem to get enough donations for a prize pool xD

In my 32 months of guild wars, i was disgusted with farming, i mean i HATED IT.
The only way i found i was making money and still having fun was 1v1 scrimmaging with bets. It was good money, but this one time i hustled. Usually i was very straight-forward, but i hustled this guy like there was no tomarrow. i did a "fun 1v1" with him, and i played a IW mesmer with no healing (lmao). During the fight i had a tormented sword equipped, and he was fascinateed with it, he had never seen a tormented item before. Obviously he beat me, which i had planned on happening of course. So i pretended to be outraged and demanded we rematch on a 100k bet. Heres where the irony comes in, he said "once i take your 100k im going to get me onof them tormented weapons!" So the rematch came, I loaded up my VoS Wastrel's Worry pressure build, and just ruined that kids day. Anyway he was shocked he lost, but none the less he paid me. After talking to him for an hour or so after the fight i realized he was just a 13 year old who bet his old brothers money, and i felt bad.
I Gave him his 100k back + i gave him my Tormented sword.

IF I WON THE R8 ETERNAL:
I would use it until i quit GW, and then pass it on to a close friend.
