Guild Wars 2

I’m mildly annoyed by the fact that all those weapon and armor skins modeled after gear wielded by important (and not very important) NPCs have the names of those NPCs attached to the final item.

I mean, I crafted this rapier and I didn’t see Lord Faren helping. I procured the expensive materials, and even though Faren is probably loaded, he didn’t contribute a single copper. I trained for weeks and months to be good enough to make it. Bet Faren doesn’t know the first thing about weaponsmithing. I spent my own transmutation charge!.. And yet my weapon is still called “Lord Faren’s Rapier”.

Oh sure, maybe he patented the design. Though it’s more likely that was also someone else’s design that he paid for. Well, he can’t have it. And I’m not giving Belinda my greatsword either!.. umm… no innuendo intended.

Lord Faren helped by not helping. He is most useful when he is not there.

LOL your hilarious. I gave you a +1 for making me laugh.

But Lord Faren’s Speedos would sell surprisingly well to a player segment.

I still want to know how Professor Yakkington was wearing armor that I could fit on my body . . .

Uh. Thanks. :/ After the mental image that brought up I’m not sure I want to log in now and accidently run into you.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

It’s not my fault Nicholas apparently made his dolyak wear armor for humanoid creatures. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Yakkington%27s_armor

And I’m sure armor that’s sized for a dolyak doesn’t make you look fat at all. ^^

I’m going to tell Yakkington you called him fat. You meanie.

I know a few people who would go around gifting that …

To be fair, this isn’t the silliest complaint I’ve seen today. No, that honor earned a several paragraph list explaining why it is wrong.

Um, things don’t get named after people because they helped with something directly. They get named because someone donated money, someone was successful promoting themselves, for a laugh, or any of a variety of other reasons.

Yakkington’s armor is probably a reference to his tough hide, not because he wore it. Faren’s Rapier (which I believe should be called, Lord Faren’s Wit instead) seems to be more ironic than complimentary.

(I don’t, incidentally, think it’s silly to critique names — good names help make a game or book come alive and flesh it out and bad names can take you out of the moment and wonder what they were thinking as they made it.)

Think of it as buying a name brand. When you buy Nike shoes or Ray-Ban shades, or an iPhone, the name doesn’t change just because you spent your hard earned cash on them. The brand name itself is part of the apparent prestige of the item which you would potentially show off to others.

So think of it as a brand made by Lord Faren that he is selling and that is named after him. Or, if you prefer, you can simply smile knowing you’re penetrating your enemies with Lord Faren’s pointy sword… what a way to go… O_o

None of us were being serious about our “critiques”. It’s ok to be silly sometimes.

Yakkington’s armour might not fit well, but I’m a bit more worried about Zhed’s Shoes and Zhed’s Pantaloons.

And don’t get me started on Brutus gear.

Don’t forget Sheena’s, too!

Silliest complaint? Yeah it’s pretty silly, but I think the “Remove and delete inactive/dead player account so I can steal their name” thread is giving OP a serious run for the money.

This OP has better style by far though, so +1 to OP.

That Sheena!. I swear she can’t keep her clothes on. Every time I go into WvW I end up finding her boots, her shirt or even her pants!. I mean Every time! And I am in WvW alot!

How about this for a complaint? It’s been years and the back pieces for the Asura are still too small. Can’t they increase the size to a normal size? My quaggan backpack looks like someone took a childhood toy and pinned it to my back!…. OK.. just my silly complaint for today! Oh and maybe less diaper looking pants for us too!!! OK.. now I’m done.. Back to Lord Faren’s Non Wit.

LOL! This is great. And it’s so true. Why’s that cheeky bloke get to put his name on something he didn’t even help making? I say we should of let him stay kidnapped.

At least until he put some clothes back on.

So indecent. :/
