UW Stones

Ok, either make them customed or remove them and add an extra ecto garunteed drop.

Why?

People think that a stone is worth more than a screenshot showing that your quick and dont dont fail. Customising them removes this bullshit rank descrimination (R9+ IWAY LF MORE FACEROLLERS springs to mind in this case).

Removing them an adding an ecto (about same price) also gets rid of this shit.

I laugh at the idea of a customized summoning stone drop.

I suggest you buy some stones or stop pugging. Removing the stones as a drop seems like a silly thing to do, getting rid of content that has no reason to be erased.

I like my stones, I don't sc and if im already under summoning sickness I will drop one for someone to use. I agree it is completely idiotic to have to show stones but those are the elitist for ya, but this is a bad idea

*sigh* more and more elitists are entering this game all the time. I know Iv ranted about PvP elitists a lot in other threads, and now I guess I get to give a short rant about PvE elitists.

Really, they are stupid. Anyone who think skill = amount of stones is stupid. I guess since they can't rank discriminate, they choose to stone discriminate (lol?) instead. Honestly, I don't think this would change if an extra ecto was given instead. They may just ask for you to show a small batch of ectos instead. My advice? Don't to speed clears. They are filled to the brim with elitists nowadays.

Elitists aren't a problem. If you're not elitist you don't play with other elitists because you're relaxed and laid back. They don't like you so you won't party together regardless of skill.

C?

I thought the Dhuum update fixed the You-Dub SC problem?!

Nah Jaz, groups can still do it in about 20 minutes or so.

AWH Umad?
Dare to remove them. I always seem to be able to find idiots that pay me 5k/stone

put a crafter in ToA...end of line.

^^This. Pugs will be pugs.

Nobody thinks that amount of stones = amount of skill........ They think amount of stones = Amount of experience. There's a difference. In any case... UW is for noobs go do FoW.

exaclty, im a competant twayer and a very good doascer, but i can make myself look like a godly twayer by simply selling a few gemsets and buying 100 stones...

Stones have 0 reflection on experience. They are more so a scam-like way of making cash via something that has relatively null value and adding an artificial stigma to it. I feel a pity for anyone that buys into the whole thing, specially those that actually buy the stones.....I guess they don't realize when they are being duped.

That has to be the most briliant thing I've ever heard.

Pugs will be pugs. Anyone willing to take on a player just because of how many Stones they have deserve exactly what they get.

In most cases, a competent runner.
In some cases, not so much.

My theory:
Someone sat down and thought "how can I make these useless things have value?"
Now that person is rich from making people believe that number of stones = experience in UW

You can take stones away from elitists, but you can't take elitists away from themselves. As you can already tell, a lot of the people posting here don't give a sh.. and would rather discriminate their face off until there's nobody left to farm with rather than break down, do randomways with PUGs in an old school fashion and have fun. Guild Wars is serious mf'ing business to players, so much that they'll accept game death gleefully and quit the game if they have to. I used to farm waaay back in the days, but due to all this elitist malaise, I often think twice about setting foot in any elite mission area. I'm sure beyond the shadow of any doubt that they won't miss me.

In summary, tl;dr + you can't stop elitists from being elitists no matter what you do and/or how hard you do said thing.

Stones are pro!!
they help alot for fowsc 2men runs
i vote they make a crafter lol not remove something so lols

honestly, since i have started reading some threads, ''Elitists'' will make me laugh for some time ... on topic, I like to use these stones during the game and do not agree to remove them due to simple narrowmindness of others ...

Dont know who told you that but there has only ever been one 20 min run after the dhuum update that is the fastest that dhuum has ever been killed. UWSC takes about 40-60 min whoever told you 20 min was normal was pulling your leg or you just made it up. Try to actually know about something before you post about it plz.

On topic you usually get 2 stones from the uw chest 50 stones is usually the requirement meaning 25 completed runs there are even a good number of groups that only ask for 20 stones meaning 10 runs and there are also groups on top of that who don't ask for them at all. It is not hard to complete 10 uw runs I have a ton of them and I use them all the time I am hardly concerned with saving them to get into pug groups since they are so easy to get. And on top of all that dream riders are awesome summons they make everything so much easier.
