Guild Wars 2

Whenever someone pings items as “Loot” or “Look at this drop [Item]” I tend not to believe them due to the amount of people who will just setup a chatcode.

Example: Jormag Dies, People start pinging [Dusk] even though most likely they had it already or its just a chatcode. Then people ping their legendarys to taunt the Dusk pinger’s.

Its become a joke. You cant tell whether someone actually had the item on them, actually got a item as a drop, or is just pinging a silly chat code.

Make a distinction please, like A small (*) means its a chatcode. a (^) Means the item is soulbound already or (#) freshly looted.

People who say ping gear…Its easily foiled by someone who could just ping the items in their bank, or chatcodes etc…

Its gotten to the point where I dont gz people because so many people are trolls that I dont know whats real anymore!?! Please fix this

Why?
We don’t need to know what gear people actually do or do not have.
I agree that it’s a bit ridiculous, but it makes no difference to you if someone got Dusk from Jormag’s Claw.

Adding in a way of telling if someone actually has something is too close to gear checking/inspecting, which GW2 does not need in any capacity. Elitists can go home >.>

I never congratulate anyone because the RNG like them anyways. Other than for trolling, the only problem this could cause is lying on dungeons when asked to ping gear.

The anti-elitist started so early. I better control myself before I bite this bait.

Next time someone pings something, you can just ping a worthless grey item instead for laugh

It sure does in FotM. Having low AR makes a player a liability to the team no matter how good they are in high levels.

But funnily enough, the item sometimes ‘glitch’ if you try linking a chat code, so you might embarrass yourself.

Thing is, if someone pings a precursor I’ll just think. Lucky drop. If someone pinged a stack of porous bones at least I’ll know that some effort went into obtaining them and respect the player more

Believe me or not, that is good. If you had an ability to differentiate between chat codes and a real gear, there would be more “ping your gear” elitists in this game.

It’s been said, who cares what people get as drops? If this was implemented, it should purely be for the function of analysing your dungeon group so you’re not stuck with PVT trash anyway, but if you care that much you wouldn’t be PUGging regardless.

Time to go get “lucky” at the mystic forge in Lion’s Arch.

It’s fine. Just ignore the pinging. No one should be concerned what others are wearing in this game, there is nothing gear wise that is thrillingly powerful or required, sans AR for Fractals.

Basically: Gear score died for a reason.
