Guild Wars 2

The Chosen® [CHSN] is a social guild looking for those want to share in each other’s adventures. We’re part of a larger gaming community that spans over many games.

We’re looking for outgoing individuals who desire to play games with others, developing friendships over time, helping each other accomplish their personal goals and the goals of the guild. While we’re a casual guild we work together, helping each other when needed. Our focus is on individual and guild growth, helping each other complete the great story of the game, and participating in the events of the end-game.

While we’re not new to Guild Wars 2, we’ve never had a very large presence in the game and we’d like to change that. We’re excited about the upcoming expansion and have decided to build something here. If you’re a social person, you’re OK with participating on Teamspeak while you play, and you’re interested in making new friends, we’d love to have you.

There are very few requirements to join our community:

- You must be 18 years of age or older
- Act your age. If you take us seriously, we’ll do the same.
- We require activity on Teamspeak while playing, we want to get to know you!
- We adhere to a strict no drama policy. We expect our members to have “thick skin” and, yet, still be mindful of their actions and how they will affect others.

Title says it all. Don’t buy them to resell!

I look forward to meeting you on the field of battle. Have your medics standing by, friend.

I was reading over your post and to me it seems like (I certainly don’t mean to offend) you are broadening your definition of “questing” to make your argument sound. When I look at a traditional quest in any other MMO I think of the following:

1) Obtain Quest
2) Kill 10 things / Bring 10 things back to Quest Giver
3) Get Reward
4) Never Interact w/ Quest Giver again

When in Guild Wars 2, it’s really presented in a different way. You called them “Heart Quests” when they are really more like earning Renown with the NPC him/herself. Think of it this way:

1) You Approach the area of the NPC, you don’t have to interact with him/her.
2) Kill 10 things / Bring 10 things back to Quest Giver
3) Here is the Difference You can purchase things from this person that you can’t get elsewhere, forever
4) Interact w/ NPC whenever you want/need what he/she sells.

Again, I don’t mean to offend, but you are really selling the renown system short by leaving out details like this. They are what make the difference. They are what make ANet’s system innovative.

Here it is…

This sort of thing is unacceptable. Everyone should report this type of behavior so those involved get what they deserve.

Agreed. Great work everyone!

As a commander I have a few things to add to this discussion. I use the commander ability for both WvW & PvE. Let me explain how and why it works very well in both situations.

PvE – I’m on Tarnished Coast which is the “unofficial” RP server. Using the commander ability I run RP Roaming Events. I enter an area with my guild mates, make an announcement in /map chat about our event, and toggle Commander on. The turnout is amazing for these events and they are great for keeping players immersed in the game world. I try to stay near event hotspots to keep people in the action as much as possible. We explore, kill, and most of all, create “meta” events when there are no real events going. These have been hugely successful and feedback has been great!

WvW – There are some pretty common misconceptions about what the Commander ability is used for here. The Commander is a squad commander, not an army commander. It’s fairly rare (comparatively speaking) that you see me chat in /team unless I’m coordinating with other leaders/commanders. For the most part I use /say or /squad to speak to those near me. Since I play on an RP server, for the most part I usually yell things like “Charge!” or “Keep AoE on those walls, soldiers!” I do these things while planning strategy with those that will listen.

To me, the Commander ability is full of use, at least from an RP/RPPvP perspective. But it does come with a lot of trolling as well. There is a lot of “He paid 100g to feel important” or “He’s a botter, it’s impossible to have 100g already!” going around and that’s just not fun at all and i try to ignore it. I only use the ability when I feel that it can make a difference, when I’m running with my guild in WvW, or when I’m running an RP event in PvE.

Not all commanders are bad

A single walnut vendors for 3c. You can place buy orders on the Trading Post for as low as 1c, but there are hundreds of thousands of orders @ 2c. Is this an exploit/bug or is this intended?
