Because anyone who has been on the internet more than 5 minutes tends to realize that language tends to take a breather. As long as you understand what's being said what does it matter?

Really unless you have never screwed up ever you haven't got any room to talk.

to be honest, it is kind of annoying. I can understand if you are not a native english speaker. In that case bad grammer is fine and is too be expected (i certainly wouldn't have good grammer when speaking other languages). If you are a native english speaker however... grammer is good.

For a person who's not new to the game, whining about rank discrimination is just making excuses. Lots of people have done it, if you cannot, the problem really is on your end. FFS the last time I was in HA, the best monks I saw were the henchies. All you have to do now is forehead-roll on a melee bar. If that's too hard for you, I don't know what to tell you, maybe go back to PVE and wait for SF to get buffed again so you can pay people to win the game for you. The skill level required to play HA is at it's lowest ever, and that's saying a lot.
I haven't played HA regularly in going on 3 years, and I'm still amazed that people make the same excuses.

I don't find the rank requirement to be that much of a deterrent tbh, the thing that annoys me is the lack of activity OTHER than r11's during non-zquest day/double weekend.

As for anyone being able to get r9. That may not take alot of skill but that takes a hell of a long of time unless you're buddies with eB or whichever guild that holds 20+ times a night. I can understand not wanting them in your group because you don't know how good they are but they're not necessarily bad/should uninstall because they don't grind a title for months/years.

I mean I know from talking to top players that im a sh*t-awful monk with alot to learn but I still play better than most of the players there.

The grammar i'm complaining about is ppl hu tlk lyk dis and thnk tht havin no vowels mks 4 ez readin. Also, people who don't use commas, questions marks etc. Punctuation was invented for a reason, to make language easier to understand.

Show me an example of one of my posts which contain grammar "just as bad as" that. Also, just a heads up it should be "grammar you're complaining about"

As an aside, "arrogance" means "with undue pride", I wouldn't say i'm proud of my grammar, i'm just appalled by the grammar of others.

fowlero · Aug 08, 2010, 02:37 PM // 14:37

I you're going to say plz, because it's shorter than please. I'm going to say no, instead of yes.

Seems a suitable quote.

El Perma Shadow · Aug 08, 2010, 05:23 PM // 17:23

Going through about 200+ posts in the thread, everyone hates everyone else.
Post something you like to do, hate blast!

God this is worse then watching WoW commercials. You know I think I might go play that since im about to get hate blasted by this community for this post even before the WoW comment. GW 2 pl0x nao

That's because Starcraft 2 came out and the remaining Koreans left GW permanently

fowlero · Aug 08, 2010, 05:41 PM // 17:41

Pretty sure all the koreans left way back when they shutdown the asian servers, most way before.

I didn't quote the entire thing because it was unnecessary, and walls of text are often ignored by people, especially when repeated. The entire point was the usage of both quoted fragments.

1. The kind that will defend Anet at every turn and buy any insignificant crap Anet releases (IE: Costumes).

2. The kind that will hate on Anet even when they do something correctly, however rare that may be.

3. The kind that think they're hot shit in game but run crap builds and aggro like Leeroy.

4. The kind that farm just for the sake of farming without any solid goal other than "MOAR ECTO STACKZ."

Tommy's · Aug 08, 2010, 06:15 PM // 18:15

1. The kind of people what always complain about Anet.

2. The kind of people who think they can judge which builds are good.

3. The kind of people that don't understand that some people actually like farming alot, even better then doing some missions for the 6th time.

Aba · Aug 08, 2010, 06:54 PM // 18:54

If you can't judge good builds from bad ones you're bad at the game...it's pretty much the most fundamental skill to have after you've gotten past the whole "I'm new" phase.

I totally agree. It doesn't take a ton of experience to look at a build and be able to identify a major energy management issue or notice a skill that is superceded by a better one. I'm as far from elitist as you can get, seriously. But when someone pings a build, I think I'm qualified to give an opinion.

That is really what PuGing set up is all about. You take about 5 minutes to figure out what everyone is gonna run. You show each other. Give suggestions. Make sure you're air tight. Then go in.

I complain when I disagree with what they've done. I pat them on the back when they do something right, like with the mesmer balance.

As stated previously, it's pretty easy to tell what builds are "good". I'm not an elitist who says, "you have to run X and Y" to someone. However, if there's a Dervish trying to heal in place of a Monk then there's a problem (and my main is a Derv so I think I'd know something about how fail that is).

I attribute farming with no clear goal to OCD or some sort of physical obsession. You might want to get that checked out. And no, I don't do missions for the 6th time. Hell, I don't even do stuff in game anymore unless its a guild thing or someone needs help.

Sirius Bsns · Aug 09, 2010, 01:46 AM // 01:46

People that deny /resign, /report->"leech" everyone for the slightest itch, /rank you as a means to insult or belittle, require hero rank to play a BSurger, Mind Surger, [insert faceroll build here], to join in and play the game.

I hate the persistent attention-whoring rank of FoW/Chaos Gloves-wearing monks in HA [get a life already].

I hate botters and scammers with the greatest passion!

I hate newbs that simply refuse to improve their skill bars.

I hate players that type: "what?", "?", "lol", "^^", "naab", and much, MUCH more!

I hate gold-cape leechers that park themselves in a town and afk /dance to wh0r3 attention.

...and that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Targren · Aug 09, 2010, 01:58 AM // 01:58

Any tool who uses the word "pro" to describe any aspect of their play. Especially when they join a teaching alliance and then bitch about it.

The only professional GW players, the ones who get paid to play, are the gold-farmers. Everyone else is an amateur, by definition.
