Curse

Since the beginning of the Guild Wars PvP/pve era there have been an immeasurable amount of hilarious moments. Moments in which I and hopefully others have wanted to share and or discuss with the guild wars community. So I figured what better way to do that than in a visual format i.e. the Screenshot Exposition.

To get the ball rolling.. heres a rehearsed common scam from a kid in kamadan

Screenshot Expo Forums Rules - PLEASE READ before POSTING!

User notes will be added against you if you don't follow these rules! No exceptions!

The 3 Strikes System:

When any of the below rules are broken, you will receive a strike against your username. The system works like this:

1. 1st Strike - People need to PM + thread warning + (if necessary, close or soft-delete)
2. 2nd Strike - Addition Warning via PM + (if thread close + soft-delete)
3. 3rd Strike - 1-3 Day Ban without warning

All incidents are documented!

General Guidelines:

* No character names can be displayed in images, unless premission is given, or its your own character
* All posts are subject to the rules of the Guild Wars Guru forum guidlines.
* Swearing in images are not allowed, make sure to censor them. The whole word must be censored, not just part of it.

Image Posting:

* Images must be no larger then 800 x 600. If they are then please do the following:

* Please convert images to .jpeg if possible. Images that are over 600KB in size will be converted to URL links or deleted.
* Thumbnails, such as the ones provided by ImageShack are recommended for all images.

General Chatting within Threads - NOT ALLOWED!:

* This thread is not a chat room! Don't use it as such. This also falls under spamming! (See below)
* Please don't use the thread as a kind of chat-room. If you wish to discuss random stuff then please use forum PMs, e-mail or chat in-game if you like. Not in the thread.
* Chat room talk / spam will be deleted.

Replying to Posts + Spamming:

The GWG forum rules on spamming are very clear:

Quote:
5. No Spamming

Post count - no matter how impressive a high number might look - is irrelevant here. Therefore, please do not spam these forums, or such posts will be deleted. To determine whether or not your post can be considered as spam, ask, "does this add to or advance the thread in a constructive way." If you answer, "yes," then chances are, you're good to go. Examples of spam posts include: “Yeah me too," "lol”, “that’s what I wanted to say…,” “what the guy above said…”, etc.

* Please keep all replies tasteful. Swearing, flaming, crude comments, pointless comments will not be tolerated!

* +1 post count spam is not encouraged! Mods actively found themselves deleting this kind of spam from a number of the Screenshot threads. The "Post your Character" threads in particular. The following clearly explains the differences between a comment/chat and a spam/+1 post:

Quote:

Posts that are impolite, crude, offensive, or otherwise failing to reflect on the thread or forum in a positive manner will be deleted as spam.

Furthermore posts that fail to contribute to discussion in a meaningful way or are intended to draw attention away from the original subject will also be deleted as spam!

* Don't post just for the sake of adding +1 to your post count. Post counts aren't important on this forum.

* KEEP ON TOPIC! If its a weapon thread, don't discuss armour. If it's a armor thread don't discuss farming, titles, chest running or weapons!

* We don't encourage people to pointless go about posting meaningless psychobabble for sake of just increasing their post count. Your spam will be deleted and noted, so don't do it!

Quote:

We reserve the right to edit posts for format, content, or clarity, without notice. However, we will not intentionally change the substance of what anyone says, and will inform you if we make any substantial changes. Posting meaningless deranged psychobabble with no substantial merit or posts that do not contribute to the thread discussion will more than likely be deleted without notice.

Any post which violates civilized standards of decency or good conduct will be deleted immediately and without any further notice. Repeat offenders will be temporarily or permanently banned.

Screenshot Requests within Threads:

* Please don't request screenshots. We have a whole sub-forum for that here:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/f...play.php?f=245

* Please discuss the thread topic, but requests for screenshot should be made in the forum above.

Reporting Spam and other Rule Breaking:

If you see a rule-breaker, don't hesitate to use the report feature located at the bottom left of each post.

This isn't the funniest GW moment I've had but I did chuckle for a while:

Caster bow ftw.

Also, these 2 clever scammers:

NF preview weekend was fun (and horribly bugged) :
http://users.pandora.be/rotten/ss/pwngvgchart.jpg (BIG picture)

the story : we were running the [[sand shards] - dervishes back when it still worked for all weapons, spamming [[exhausting assault] under [[way of the empty palm]. That's around 100DPS, AoE range (nearby). 5 people exploded instantly because the team decided to ball in their melee ward (facing a thumper and 2 dervishes, melee heavy team). Wrong call...

Needless to say the game ended realy fast.

Just saw this in obs mode and had a good laugh, especially after last monthly's finals.

I'm not sure about putting guild names in pictures so I blanked them out anyway.
