Guild Wars 2

I’m ready to scream at the moment, having been stomped the past six matches. Browsing a whip forum I found this quote:

’It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
’

Well, he’s indeed in a wheel chair so..

He isn’t in a wheel chair, quit lying. He is clearly in a casket.

I don’t think pvp is the worthy cause he’s talking about, and all the critics here are the ones in the arena lol

FYI Franklin Roosevelt was the one in the wheelchair. Teddy was a hunter

I think that part of the point is that it’s about oneself. It’s not about the critics.

Except those critics (at least, if we are talking about pvp here) actually have been in “arena”, probably more often than you, OP, and know the struggle all too well :P

That’s debatable Cynz, considering the hours I put into these seasons. It’s also irrelevant.

I was simply sharing something that gave me a bit of boost to make the last push and finish the ascension.

It really is about the person themselves, not the critics and the mockers. What one sees in the mirror is vastly more important than the number of likes on fb.

Yeah, but ignoring people with experience that can possibly help you is ignorant. I wouldn’t be, where i am, if my character didn’t get farmed over and over again by better players, i wouldn’t be as good, if not for better players giving me advises/dueling me etc. The first step to improvement is to accept that you are not as good as you think you are and that you could always do better.

I had a buddy in my guild whom excelled at 1v1’s, would beat me every time. So I dueled with him every night, for hours. When he finally decided that he had to go make some gold before he logged, I payed him double what he could make farming to continue kicking my kitten, I now beat him 2-0/2-1 every time. Practice makes perfect, but u can’t get better fighting players equal to worst skilled as yourself.
