“Paaaah… you young bookahs today… yeh don’t know how good ya got it. With yer gw2lfg and yer crafting systems… ah hear ya crying about zerkers taking everything, but that’s nothing! Back in mah day we had ta wait FIFTEEN HOURS just ta get access ta th’ Underworld! Then it took another 3 hours ta form a group if we were lucky, and by then th’ KOREANS took access away from us again! Yer lucky if ya have ta wait 15 minutes ter get yer precious COF access.”
“And th’ trading post! Ya don’t have ta wait fer anythin’. We had ta trade th’ old fashioned way! In person! Yellin’ till our keyboards were worn! And usin’ Ectoplasms an’ Ambraces fer currency! And we LIKED it that way!”
“An’ don’t even get me started on craftin’! Pah.”

((For those who don’t get the joke, basically making this as a silly thread for us old vets of the original Guild Wars to act like crotchety old men talking about how good the old days were, or how good the people of today have it. Be silly.

((And no, that Korean comment isn’t anything racist or anything about Koreans. But when access to the UW and FoW was restricted to whoever held the Hall of Heroes whether it was the US region, EU region, or Korean region… well, one of the three tended to hold it more often. And it wasn’t US.))
