Oh god. I was going to say "I remember when the IVEX Trapper was a pre-made PvP character", but ya...

Boon Prots using MoR or Drain as well, ViM! Trappers, IWAY groups kicking people who weren't r3+.

All the stuff in the OP is new by comparison.

hahaah the premade PvP builds were so awesome

SilentSyn · Feb 18, 2011, 08:17 PM // 20:17

I remember:

-When 100 Blades was not an elite
-Taking 4 months to beat Prophecies on my Mesmer....friggin impossible to get a group back then.
-Gale Warriors with the exhaustion glitch
-LFG as a Nuker before they made mobs scatter
-Monks strike at Thunderheadkeep
-Getting complimented on my awesome AoD assassin when it was the shit
-Telling people you were in a top 100 guild and actually having it mean something
-Destroying Monks and spellcasters with Shroud of Silence
-Blackout cripshot rangers
-The Last Pride [Evil] running dual shadow form assassins on split
-War Machine [WM] completely rolling their split with Expunge Enchantments
-During the Factions preview when Shadowsteps were true teleports and you could get into an enemy guild hall without the door being opened.
-When Temple Strike ROCKED
-The last day of the Factions preview when they released enemies into the cities. Got hacked down while dancing in Cavalon.

Remember when gold items were not gold but rather "rare"?

refund points
tombs
wammo desert drake farm
farming uw with zealots fire and shout spam

I remember being the leader of a 70 person guild with no hall because you had to win halls to get a sigil.

Lews · Mar 03, 2011, 11:36 AM // 11:36

I remember everything.

some guy · Mar 03, 2011, 11:43 AM // 11:43

Remember Tombs = Halls
Remember Boonprot + SB infuse and nobody would die
Remember ranger midlines

S4br3t00th · Mar 05, 2011, 12:54 PM // 12:54

I remember when there wasn't even any UI clues to know if players were enchanted/hexed or not... You could stack "stances" because they didn't even exist either. 55 monk was the shit for farming trolls out of drok's, and monk sup rune prices were way out off my scope. I had to farm ettins for them and prices crashed in the coming weeks

Also getting new rank 2 from the gladiator title track with points awarded with the old one (1pt for each 10 win streak) with my boon prot monk.

kedde · Mar 08, 2011, 10:00 AM // 10:00

Actually, the oldschool UI was really cool. Rewarded people with good memory and gamesense and punished people who were easily distracted.
Flaggers actually had to think.

I remember when you had to use points to change your attributes. What did they used to call those?
.

Refund Points.
I also, loved Nutella.

I remember...

Gale Wars, Martyr Mesmers, Adrenaspikes, Cripshot/Blackout Flag runners, Bloodlight Eyes, Last of Master, Eviscerate doing +38 Damage...

Sorely missed days.

Morgan Crowe · Mar 10, 2011, 02:01 PM // 14:01

I remember when I got a real life prize for being Top8 in the November mAT 2007.
- " - observing EW vs. iQ on Druids Isle with Teleports on Jeppe and the warriors.
- " - awesome Ranger 1on1s, when I didn't understand how GvG really works, but just being amazed by watching it.
- " - EvIL running builds nobody else played.

I'm still sad I didn't play GvG before Nightfall came out. :/

PeeacemakerOni · Mar 11, 2011, 06:39 AM // 06:39

wow lets see I remember...

Farming for black dyes in pre-searing.
When having rank 1 for fame was ridiculously amazing,
and when you only received fame after a certain amount of wins...so much more difficult to gain rank.
getting to lvl 20 in pre-sear, and finding out way after I had left pre-sear that they decided to make it a title.
Joking around with monks in tombs about how hilarious it would be if we made an all monk team. The silence and then eruption of lots of swearing and how the hell did that just work when seeing the clock stop at 2 seconds after defeating the entry group of npc's in tombs with the same monks.
Defeating all the teams in tombs will all monks for the first time.
Using unyielding aura to auto death and rack up insane amounts of minions in tombs.
Using verata's aura to steal minions from other minion teams in tombs...thanks for making them all for us.
Air Spike pvp teams! those were so deadly
That iway was originally created to defeat smite monks...and that it never actually worked.
Spirit spamming!
Selling sigils for lots of money
Crying when all these titles came out for stuff I'd already done awhile ago.
Pressing "m" and wondering where is my team arenas, and what the hell is Codex.
Testing life bond builds in team arenas until invincible.
STILL not being able to convince myself to do Thunderhead in hard mode after remembering failing it over 50 times and then finding out it was glitched.
When if you were a monk and DIDN't have mending you were a noob.
Manually trying to get the timing right to synchronizing multiple players dancing.
When hard mode didn't exist, and bone dragons would kill me in two hits.
Jade Wind Orbs...I still have a stack of 250
Filling up extra character with materials as there was no section for them in the storage chests.
Money and glitter falling from the sky at the end of beta.
Finding the rabbit outside of pre-searing...and stupidly following it into death.
Trying to take vine seeds out of Bloodstone.
Getting 10 wins in random arenas and moved to team arenas.
Actually having the original Gladiator title...and losing it when the requirements changed.

Actually having a full friends list with everyone online...

... The Shock Sniper with Conjure Lightning and Thunderclap that you could only run if you already had a Shocking Bowstring unlocked. And Enervating Charge for some bizarre reason.

It was replaced by the Flame Slinger. Because why wouldn't you want to waste your elite on a horrible and redundant skill like Greater Conflagration, when Kindle Arrows already met the requirement for Conjure Flames?

Now what's this about Healer's Covenant?

pinkeyflower · Mar 13, 2011, 08:32 AM // 08:32

When Signet of Ghostly Might meant GvG matches lasted 1 minute.

Gift3d · Mar 13, 2011, 11:45 AM // 11:45

running shadow step spikes in HA after factions release. r/d shitway and typing "wand the trappers" at least 100 times a day. mark of protection/dark aura, ugh. contagionway, ugh x2. 6v6 SF spikes, remember how badly everyone hated the new maps when they did all the changes? holding halls all the time in [FA] with the A/D spike we ran that everyone tried to imitate but nobody else could pull it off. always believing there would be some kind of nerf to IWAY, and here we are 5 years later... which reminds me, with every nerf there would be intense izzy rage in id1 for hours

when drok's was the place to be, and troll farming was profitable... 55 monks... ah fun. finding groups for questing in ascalon, but that sounds absolutely ridiculous now. gotta get a w/mo to run me to droks so i can get max armor!!1 tons of people in the ring of fire trying to find groups to cap healing hands/eviscerate, it wasn't easy back then. b/p sorrow's furnace groups were fun, and trying to find "shiverpeak tour" runs was a living hell.

i remember making 2 mill from running the great destroyer faster than all the shitty mo/me when eye of the north first came out, all new content had it's honey hole.

out of all the things that used to be in guild wars, i think i miss Primal Rage the most.

Red_Dragon56 · Mar 24, 2011, 01:18 AM // 01:18

Running around RA with a Necro and an Axe and murdering warriors because there wasn't a PvX wiki yet.

Fun times.

CokeKain · Apr 03, 2011, 05:32 AM // 05:32

Do you remember when demonic flesh gave your necro 700+HP?

Do you remember when seeping wound only cost 5mp and was so strong when used with deadly haste you could solo battle teams in ab?

Do you remember when you could stack the shadow damage from jaundiced gaze on top of dark pact?

Do you remember when the health boost from demonic flesh made touch necro's stronger then the new derv buff?

Do you remember using rtl spikes in TA?

Do you remember when monks could solo RA with a healing hands build that made them impossible to kill?

Do you remember "red resign day"?

Do you remember when VoR was your favorite mesmer elite skill?

Why did they have to water this game down so much

kedde · Apr 04, 2011, 06:39 AM // 06:39

None of those are very long ago to be honest.

urania · Apr 04, 2011, 07:14 AM // 07:14

i remember the days when wammos doing droks runs made me go "wow" and made my day. when i saw shouts used the first time and i was even more "wooow".
damn.
