Guild Wars 2

A little sylvari humor today:

So you pick the backstory for your sylvari, and suppose you chose the Ventari teaching “All things have a right to grow.” Actually, doesn’t matter, you noticed that that was one of the three major teachings. Go through your tutorial instance and you are spit out in Caledon Forest and told to help out the locals.
So you run along until you see Warden Annwyn, and she’s got a job for you. Kill fireflies for luminescence to light the town lamps.
“But the fireflies are doing a fine job. It’s night time and aside from my own sylvari glow, I can see just fine. Besides, they aren’t hurting anybody.”

But you go along with it. She’s got plenty for the lamps, but she’ll take whatever you’ve got.

Wait, now there are mosquitoes! Kill them too! They’re only here because of the lamps we lit, but kill them!

Oh, I see, it was a lure. Annwyn just really hates bugs. If she’d have hated drakes, we’d be catching those in cages and poking them with sticks to simulate braziers. Don’t fall for it! She’s testing you to see if you’ll turn Nightmare.

If she was all Nightmarey I don’t think she would like the lamps at all. Cuz darkness is the spooky. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suck or something.

This is so true xD. We should grab some of those asuran protest banners and run around her in circles or something.

There are a lot of things like this in game though. It gets a bit ridiculous. There must be MASSIVE populations of all creatures in Tyria considering how many we needlessly chop in half/burn to a crisp. I mean, when was the last time killing a Moa was actually necessary xD!

Your back story is brilliantly funny if you played a Sylvari on launch day. There was a gigantic mass of people all doing that event at the same time, we culled a lot of those poor Fireflies and Mosquitoes.
