What I've learned thus far in GW2
Before I go on, please read this in a mostly joking tone.
1) Buy only Berserker gear.
2) Archers suck.
3) Engineers suck.
4) Necros suck.
5) Staff Guardians suck.
6) Stack, pull, stack, pull, stack, boss, next.
7) Eles must conjure and must stack might.
8) There are 3 ways to stay in a group but 840495847204857392948.48 ways to get kicked from one.
9) Lilith knows fashion.
10) For every 1 sensible poster, there are at least 5 or more to counter-act it.
11) Gotta blame ANet.
12) Pugs are always completely and utterly terrible but you’re the only good one in your group.
13) Your opinion is the only one that should matter. If anyone tells you otherwise, ignore their “evidence”, attempt to talk circles around them, convince them that they’re wrong and insist that your view is the only valid option. Ever. Period. Kapeesh?

Well, technically you can blame anet for 1-8, it is their game design after all.
10 & 13 is every singly forum in the history or the interwebz.
11) Gotta blame ANet.

The prophecy comes true! xD
This is a good laugh, and a more or less complete summary of the subforum, lol

Adaleine’s Fractal Adventures w/ MS Paint.
Do it please. I’m hyped. I love Paint comics.
I’ll even put you in Lilith’s place on the bingo (no Lilith, I’m just kidding, don’t kill me, noooooooooo… dead)
6) isn’t funny at all, I’m absolutely sick of reading that bile.

Where is the discussion on roleplay factor when we need it?
14) Dungeon Rewards might be a little too good.
15)Bingo!

Buahahaha. I must have killed you in my sleep.
17. Dead dps is no dps
And all who stood by and did nothing, who are they to criticize the sacrifices of others?
Our blood has bought their lives.
18. PVT guardian has the same damage with only 10% crit chance as a meta guardian
Oooh! Ooooh!
19. There is a stigma for efficiency in the gw2 forum.

We are infinite. We are eternal.
You shall be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
“Memories are nice, but that’s all they are.”
Oooh! Ooooh!
19. There is a stigma for efficiency in the gw2 forum.
I’d say there’s a stigma for time. Seems players want to finish ASAP with no regard to anything else. Speaking of which…
20. every gamer is impatient and wants things done in 10 minutes
1) Buy only Berserker gear.
For Dungeon content, yes. And Soldiers for world events, tanky gear for WvW. Condi for PvP. Surprise, surprise! Different gear have their different uses and niches in different parts of the game!
2) Archers suck.
You mean Rangers, or Rangers using a longbow? Because a Ranger wielding a 1h sword and Spotter+Frost Spirit is perhaps one of the most pleasing setups for a group in the game.
3) Engineers suck.
Stealth, Might Stacking, great blanket heals, team condi removal, er…. What sucks about that?
4) Necros suck.
Yes and No…. They have some of the highest consistent DPS in the game using MH daggers. Watch a video of DnT’s Brazil running Necromancer, and you will see he is capable of doing 4k(x2)+8k+11k damage with his dagger autoattack. That is INSANE, even by berserker standards! The main problem is, Necromancer lacks cleave and consistent AoE, making them less than ideal for defeating trash mobs. Furthermore, Necromancers lack support options not outperformed by other classes. Necromancer is… flawed. ANET isn’t sure what they want them to do in PvE.
5) Staff Guardians suck.
Staff is awesome! Crowd Control wall, Buffs, AoE symbol damage, and great ranged damage. Problem is, people should not use ranged weapons on melee bosses, and Wand is more useful in stationary ranged situations.
6) Stack, pull, stack, pull, stack, boss, next.
Strategy, yes?
7) Eles must conjure and must stack might.
Eles must be able to support team members in a team setting? God forbid…
8) There are 3 ways to stay in a group but 840495847204857392948.48 ways to get kicked from one.
Not reading the LFG post is the most frequent reason.
9) Lilith knows fashion.
Who the heck is lilith?
10) For every 1 sensible poster, there are at least 5 or more to counter-act it.
Sup?
11) Gotta blame ANet.
I blame Ellen Kiel.
12) Pugs are always completely and utterly terrible but you’re the only good one in your group.
I’m one of the few who has positive experience with PUGs, believe it or not.
13) Your opinion is the only one that should matter. If anyone tells you otherwise, ignore their “evidence”, attempt to talk circles around them, convince them that they’re wrong and insist that your view is the only valid option. Ever. Period. Kapeesh?
It takes two people to kick someone.
9) Lilith knows fashion.
Who the heck is lilith?
What… How could you… This is… I can’t even…

This wasn’t a serious thread lol. While I appreciate the thought out answers, this was in jest. In fact, I’d be willing to say 90% of the pugs I’ve joined have been pleasant overall.
Do staff guards have an use other than mowing the toxic plants in TA?
Empower and their speed buff do come in handy at times.

Good master Francois,

Do please come and join in the abyss that is the dungeon Subforum, Do enjoy your stay.
Tread lightly though, as Madam Lilith controls us all…….

They’re all my puppets Buahahahaha.
that’s not true. If they were they’d have better fashion sense.
I’m kidding ily.

Madam,
I am at a hard time believing that if you even so much as breathed slight whispers, of your displeasure of something.
steps would be taken.
I could be wrong. and just a fanboi, but meh,
)
I’ll have to test this theory.
Funny story though. Yesterday I was minding my own business when Lucas whispered me asking if if wanted guild missions from [DD] I said sure, and then Xallever whispered me asking me again, and then Ariete. I felt quite popular. <3
Edit: someone posted this at me months ago and It made me lawl. http://youtu.be/3T7gWnyXIVA?t=24s

Swings and misses.

Am I going to start a huge cat fight, or a cat gang fight, if I say that I prefer Iris?

OK, ok, not to pick on Kain too much, but this cracks me up.
Every. Time. someone jumps in to defend necros they always end up pointing out how they do, in fact, suck by the end of their statement.
Kapeesh?
Wow… It took me 2 minutes to find out you meant “capisce”. I even though about an obscure Indian name. Shame on me. >_< (and on you for the lame spelling! :p )

Sorry I don’t use that word often.

I just walk over them on my Warrior.
Tickles.

Well, they are good in WvW and sPvP, but they are no that good in PvE. Not that big of a deal.

Yep. Just like that
Maybe I should make a part 2 to this.
5) Staff Guardians suck.
Staff is awesome! Crowd Control wall, Buffs, AoE symbol damage, and great ranged damage. Problem is, people should not use ranged weapons on melee bosses, and Wand is more useful in stationary ranged situations.
Buffs like … might? Even PUGs have better might stacking than an Empower Guardian. Line of Warding could also be called “Line of extending the duration of the fight”. We’re going to stack and FGS/cleave everything down, what good is it to keep the mobs away from us? “AoE symbol damage” … as opposed to any other AoE damage the guardian can deal? O_o
Great ranged damage? I’d have to request actual numbers here, because afaik Scepter > Staff for ranged.
