These people are not nice to you because they don’t want to play with you. If you feel that they are violating the code of conduct you have the right to report them.
Otherwise there is not much else to say, especially if you drag everything down to a personal level. Someone already tried to explain the reasoning of why these people don’t want to play with you. Doesn’t matter if you are picture perfect – to these people you are a nuisance because your potential damage output cannot reach 9000.
End of story. Coming here and telling “them” to leave you alone … do you really think that will work?
YOU should contact Anet and tell them that your game experience is suffering. Which I guess you are doing here, just sort of in reverse.
You’re right, my potential damage output as an up-level won’t reach 9000. But does it really matter since… I AM NOT STAYING ON THE BOSS. JUST TAGGING AND LEAVING SO IT’S NOT UPSCALING IT!
Did you get it that time? Does caps help you to comprehend what someone is trying to convey? Oh so sorry I didn’t bog ANet down with more reports when players can take it upon themselves to stop being jerks.
To add that one person complaining doesn’t speak volumes versus a multitude of people complaining.
people organize gold runs with 80’s to farm the event as fast as possible to earn the most money/tokens/karma etc. they arent organizing the runs to level your uplevel. an uplevel is far less effective than any level 80, and you are taking advantage of every level 80 in that instance.
don’t get me wrong, i bring up levels in BB to level as well, but i don’t have the audacity to complain about the people that don’t want me there – because i understand that i am slowing their runs down and diminishing their hard word.
Take it to ANet. I bring my 80 there plenty of times and if an up-level is there, doing what is needed, then it’s just fine with me.
take it to anet? you’re the one that started a discussion about the issue lol. i legitimately don’t care if uplevels are in there or not, im just telling you why people would prefer having a level 80 over an uplevel in the instance.
You made it sound as if I had no say in the matter as an up-level. I am saying that I too play this game and support it at times with RL cash, so I have just as much right to be in there. Those who get angry and tell up-levels to leave the BB zone altogether need to take it to ANet. THAT is what I am saying.
As I previously posted, I cooperate in gold runs. I typically just run around tagging bosses and dying then waiting in mid for my gold box and extra exp. I don’t stay at a boss and up-scale it unnecessarily.
run around, tagging bosses, bringing adds to bosses that kill the level 80’s that are trying to actually kill the boss. and you wonder why people want you to leave
it’s the simple fact up-levels deteriorate efficiency.
So you have watched me play, have you? You seen me allegedly drag adds to the boss on my way to tag it?
You have not. You’re just assuming I do based on what you’ve seen others do. I don’t drag adds. I’m not stupid. I know how to drop down without bringing unnecessary adds. Please take your negativity elsewhere.

Might be better to take this one to the Living Story forum.
But, in support I must say I’ve done gold runs on my 20-became-80 Mesmer. I threw everything I had at the boss until it came time to slow down, then resumed on burn command. No “11111spam” here, and I stayed upright longer than most on the boss, so I obviously contributed.
I’m right with you. When TTS does an organized run and asks the up-levels to go middle, I do as asked. I cooperate. But when you get people that start harassing others for being there, I get irritated.
I am so tired of hearing people complain, whine, berate, insult, try to command/demand up-levels to leave the Boss Blitz.
We have just as much right to be there as YOU do.
If ANet didn’t want anyone under 80 to participate, they would not have made it so we could get in and get up-leveled.
Please take your complaints to ANet and stop being kitten-pikes to other players.
Now if they are not cooperating in Gold Runs, I can understand you being upset and blacklisting or wanting them to leave. But otherwise, please just stop!
Again, they existed long before megaservers… I just didn’t have to ever read their disgustingly poor character name.
Turn player names off. In the real world, people don’t walk around with nametags above their heads. You have to engage them in conversation, and then ask their name. I always turn off player names in any MMO.
And if people in real life did have their name displayed all the time you’d quickly realise that ridiculous names are not restricted to fictional characters.
My old job involved teaching groups of school children, typically around the age of 11 or 12 and some of the names they were stuck with were…kind of incredible. Like a girl whose first name is Princess Angel. In real life. Her friends called her Marie and I got the impression she was counting down the days until she could change it.
Wow. I didn’t know this was happening. I mean, I seen a news article about a kid who’s parents were from a different country, but they came here and the child was born here and they named him Kush. I felt it was tasteless considering what that word means here in the U.S.
Before you get all angry, I am (also) one of these kitten roleplayers. Well, less so about roleplaying, but definitely kitten. I used to go on TC for RPers just because they didn’t have eyesore armor or character names. The megaserver ruined all of that, so now I see people like “aojfgwep” (gross exaggeration) running around.
Again, they existed long before megaservers… I just didn’t have to ever read their disgustingly poor character name.
No, I am not a “insert vulgar word you used here” RolePlayer. I’m just a casual PvE player. I started this post to see if others shared the same pet peeve as I do, irritation at players that think being childish is still oh so cool and popular. There are MMOs out there that have a ToU against naming your character jibberish, sentences, and the like.
This is an RPG, where you are taking on the role of the hero. Your name is known for doing heroic deeds. I can’t take a player seriously ( esp in a dungeon ) if their name is more suited for someone playing CoD.
Slightly off-topic. I just came back to the game last week. When I played over 6 months ago, I used to get 2-3 rare pieces from dungeons. Now I’m lucky if I get even ONE. Also, when killing mobs in the open world, I got loot (whether trash or materials) from every 4 out of 5 kills. Now I’m seeing it 1 out of every 5. What happened?
Were you using MF gear before? If so look at your stats now and see what level of base MF your character has.
It was during the change from the MF gear to the account-wide MF percentage. I was getting a lot of stuff then, with a lower MF percentage. I’m over 80 percent now and my drops are less. I really feel they’ve nerfed drop rates in some way.

I’ll tell my guild leader who named his charcter Ha Ha Haha Ha that you disapprove. I’m sure he’ll care, along with all the other people who make non actual names.
You don’t need to troll or be negative. I was sharing a pet peeve. This is where we discuss Guild Wars 2, not where we smart off to other players because we disagree with them.
There are thousands of famous names, I can’t see how that’s reportable. You can’t copyright a name,
You can copyright a brand.
__
I agree I also dislike seeing names like that OP, and I don’t care for immersion.
but I guess you’d also want the likes of “Tay’s ele” banned too? I regret not naming all my alts “Tays (whatever the class is)”.
I have a mesmer called “Dust mesmer” because it lives at the end of a jp, collecting dust.
No, name’s like that don’t bother me. It’s the ones where they either name themselves a character from another game/movie (this isn’t WoW, Skyrim, LoTR, Harry Potter, etc), this is Guild Wars.
Then there’s really distasteful names that are predominately on females and are a sexual innuendo. i.e. something pertaining to being sexy, hot, kinky, wet, etc.
I would like to transfer to a high populated server. But I cannot tell which ones are TRULY high populated (exception of Blackgate being full).
Can anyone tell me from their own experience if they feel they are on a high populated server? I am currently on Gate of Madness and even with the Megaserver… any zone from 20 to 70 seems empty.
I would really like some feedback about Sanctum of Rall
I have a pet peeve, not sure if it’s shared among others. Judging by the naming policy, it’s not against the rules… although I feel it should be in some way.
People who purposely name their character the letters i and l repeatedly because of how it looks in game. And then there’s players who name their characters Hahahahahahaha…
It’s an RPG, why can’t you just give your character an actual name.
I have trouble understanding the tooltips for Weapon Skills. So here are my questions:
In the upper right hand corner, if there’s a clock, is that the cooldown? Also, what is the circle with a circling arrow inside? I actually used to know these, just returned to the game and completely forgot.
One thing I always struggle with is understanding the damage a particular weapon skill does. I get the ones that have 3 tool tip squares (you’re doing each one, in order). But when something says for example Damage (8x) 1,216, what does that mean?
8x to equal 1,216? or 1,216 dealt 8x to the target?
I’m looking for an active guild with lots of members but not so many people that you’re just lost in the crowd.
I want an adult guild (i.e. no 10 year olds), with civil players. Not interested in those who are level 80 spending their time in Queensdale lurking map chat for attention.
I’m a casual PvE’er who enjoys zone completions, dungeons, guild missions and would like to make some new friends to do Living Story things with. Most of my friends quit the game back at launch.
Also no strict rules such as “must rep this guild at all times” because that’s unfair when you can be in 5 guilds at once.
Please note: Prefer guild on the server Gate of Madness
GoM has one all the time as well. It actually angers me. People would rather look at the same zone, the same champs over and over and over rather than go out to other zones and do other events. This makes the other zones desolate. Not to mention the strain it puts on low level players in Queensdale who can’t move as fast or kill as fast as the higher levels and who want to GENUINELY level… not cop out on a lowbie zone.
Taking a shot at seeing if you’re interested in a beginning guild. Some people don’t like 300+ member guilds. You end up just being an influence farmer to them. And some people don’t like guilds with representation requirements. Feel free to message me ingame. I’ll help you out wherever I can!
We’re just getting started and are looking for more addicts like us! Our plans are to build influence for banners, run dungeons, fractals, and eventually guild missions!
Would prefer players from the Gates of Madness realm, but all are welcome! No representation requirements!
Let’s face it, not everyone can be online all the time. Not everyone likes to PvE, or WvW/PvP. Not everyone likes to solo.
I’m a member of a couple of other guilds, plus I run my own. <We Love Shinies> is looking for more friendly players who enjoy zone completion, events, PvE, and dungeons! We prefer a small, quiet environment as opposed to a guild with 100-200+ members. Currently, we’re working on xp/gathering bonuses.
No requirement restrictions! I don’t require you to represent the guild at all times. No requirement to be active daily, or join a vent/teamspeak channel, no facebook or website to dabble on.
Just a friendly, fun group of people to play with and experience the game! Interested? Contact me in game!
I’m a casual, I play often but not every day, all day. I’m looking for a guild that has players who like to do zone completions. (PoIs, Vistas, Hearts) I do have an interest in dungeons but I’m still fairly new to the game in that aspect so I would need a guild that’s helpful and patient.
I am not interested in 300+ member guilds, or WvW. I’m predominantly into PvE and a mature, drama-free environment.
Dungeons will lose purpose if the only thing players want is the loot from the end. Does no one care about the experience of the fights or pushing your character higher? If people mash through dungeons, it will turn out like WoW…. >.>
Call me a noob, but, is this diminishing returns things legit? Only time I’ve ever heard that used is something to do with damage in combat. Is this diminishing returns on loot or something? If so, why would you punish players for wanting to play more than an hour? Seriously? Maybe I’m seeing trolling here, idk. But if I paid for the game, I surely will play it as long as I want to and shouldn’t receive any kind of ‘punishment’ for doing so.
If you want to be the same level as your friend, either have him go solo to catch up or start a new character with him/her. Either way, you can both play in a zone together at “equal” level and experience the content plus get xp and loot.
Are you a completionist? Do you see something you want and do all the grinding it takes to get it? Do you enjoy exploring every facet of every zone?
Then come join me! I’d love to have (either in my guild or on my friends list) you play with me! We can share information (in-game easter eggs one of us may not have known, tricks, tips, etc), prof mats, shinies, anything! We can help each other!
To Admin: If this wasn’t the correct forum for this, my apologies. I didn’t really see a General or Players Forum.
I’m on the server Gates of Madness and my guild is We Love Shinies [Oooh]. I assume you can see my ID on the left so you can add me!
It supports the game through gem purchases, so im for it. They would be making SOOO much money on this.
And yet it’s basically spitting at GW2’s racial lore and dev’s work to make all the “personal story” thing.
It’s stupid to make something like because of some lazy people.
They won’t get much more profit than thay did with southsun crates or (in my opinion) scary backpacks. If people have enough money to throw them at the screen, they’ll do it anyway.
How would it be spitting at the gw2’s racial lore? if you race change, just reset the storymode quests, it takes a long time to do and the rewards arent that great anyway, its done for the STORY.
EARTH: Stone splinters : Elemental shielding (this provides group support and survivability)
ARCANE: Renewing Stamina : Elemental Attunement
In most PVE content (minus fractals) you dont need evasive arcana, because you will be swapping back and forth so much to maximize dmg output, and you should be dodging to avoid dmg, and then going right back in to dps.
You will be swapping to air as soon as you can (like in the beginning/middle of breath attacks) to maximize the dmg output of electrical discharge.
Some people are wanting mounts in Guild Wars 2. So I came up with the perfect solution for everyone.
1. The mount will take up an elite skill slot. (If your just using it for transportation, this won’t be a big deal)
2. It will cost 40 skill points to get. (that way you can’t just buy it for a low level character, unless you don’t spend any of your skill points.)
3. You can only get on and off out of combat. Also you must be standing still when you do.
4. Should you get damaged while riding the mount, you become dazed and all of your skills have a 5 sec cool down. (This would include the stun breaking skills, elemental’s attunements, stealth and steal, etc.)
5. While on the mount, you have a 30% speed increase. Should you get “Knocked off” your mount, you’ll have a 50% speed decrease for 10 sec.
6. Also, lastly. I believe the look of the mount should be a donkey with a broom handle strapped to its head and doesn’t change its size due to who is riding it.
I believe this would be a good compromise.

This game is not wow, will not be like wow, so please… stop asking for mounts.
Some areas of the game world is not big enough for mounts (imagine LA near the bank with a bunch of people sitting on mounts.) Not a good idea.
If you want a speed increase, put up a signet, or pop abilities that give you swifness. Thats why these things are there.
eles under water can apply burning thats right burning under water, 2 blinds, 2 drops and 1 float a stun, crazy amount of bleeds a pull to skill and not to mention underwater, water attunment is insanely OP almost having mesmer status under water on just 1 attunment.
and not to mention a warp
eles are arguably one of the best classes under water, now think how many classes would kill to have all that on 1 weapon? not even counting utilities
What are you talking about? Elementalists have horrendous damage under water. I have two accounts, Elementalist is the main on one and Guardian the main on the other. When I do the underwater kills daily with these two characters, the degree to which Elementalist is kitten for underwater DPS becomes obvious. The Guardian can complete the same task in the same locale in close to a third the time.
Often, when fighting regenerating skale and other foes underwater, my Elementalist can’t even overcome the regen!
This is the way it has been since launch, with no improvement.
My theory is that someone thought it would make sense to debuff fire and buff water due to the watery environment. However, since Water does a lot less damage than fire, debuffing fire and buffing water by similar percentages vs. land damage did not result in proper DPS output.
Like most Elementalists, I do everything possible to avoid underwater environments with my Ele, which is a shame because I generally like the underwater play.
while ele’s are once again being nerfed into the ground while being given an entirely useless and pretty much insulting buff to staff
Im so tired of hearing this. It’s not the end of the world.
and I’m sure every thief in the game is tired of hearing about how the dev’s need to nerf stealth and their damage out put…oh wait, they don’t have anything to complain about since they get insignificant nerfs, a massively overpowered ability, (larcenous strike which should be removed from this game entirely) and now a new condition, that by it’s very nature is both contrary to the stated concept around which the entire game is designed and going to be exploited by every necro, thief and mesmer in the game to the point where it totally breaks wvw.
I’m sick of hearing about that.
And while you are correct, it’s not the end of the world, it is indicative of a disturbing trend I see in this game: the overwhelming love these dev’s have for the thief and mesmer, and the seeming disdain they have for the ele and ranger.
I’m sick of having to do 5 times the work as an ele to achieve 1/4 the damage output of a mediocre thief or mesmer.
and yet, somehow the dev’s felt it necessary to nerf ele mobility, after nerfing cooldowns? and healing?, and damage output?…and now once again they’re nefing our damage output by a huge factor on arcane wave?
have you been keeping track of the nerf’s that have been piled on this class since the game started?
my question remains: by what information are they coming the these conclusions that it’s more important to nerf the ele’s ability to move around the field of combat, (or god forbid-escape from a fight they are losing against yet another mediocre spam-heartseeker thief)-than to actually attempt to fix the bugs that aren’t working and try actually listening to the playerbase and achieve some level of real balance in the game, rather than worship at the altar of “thief”.
I’m sorry man, but I’m sick and tired of getting kittene’d on by the game dev’s and their thief worship.
I suppose I should take Dontain’s advice, kittencan my ele and roll a thief.
I played a war to 80 first, a thief to 80 (didnt like it), and my guardian which was my main for a long time.
After playing all those classes, and coming back to the game recently, I can say of all of them, ele has been the most fun. I do alot more dmg than my guard, and I seem to die less than I did on my guard due to the massive mobility i have with my ele, even after the RTL nerf.
It’s more fun to play, requiring more skill to be effecient.
My suggestion to you is to play another class for a while, and give useful suggestions for ele in the meantime.
Complaining on forums will only get your pleas ignored by devs.
My unload does 8 hits and retaliation does average 320 per hit, thats 2560 damage on 1 unload, so in 3 unloads it becomes 7680 damage done from retaliation on myself by an enemy not doing anything.
Makes me sad… very sad.
So.. you want an ability nerfed because you don’t know how to look for a boon to avoid spamming an ability on?
While were at it, nerf daze too, because thieves do not have situational awareness, therefore nerf other classes.
I couldnt care less about pve…If you badly want to be as efficient as possible then roll a good “pve class”. Besides its not thakittens so hard that is impossible to roll with ele :P
Pvp/wvw always comes first and those changes will help.Plus confusion is also getting fixed..I cant tell you how many times ive died cause i had the audacity to dodge roll and getting hit by this kitten 3-4 times
You couldnt care less about PVE, but say that someone should roll a PVE class? If you dont care about PVE, then why would someone trust your opinion on the matter.
agree^
life teach me : what u WANT isnt what you will GET.
TAKE what you WANT. Don’t wait for life’s handouts.
On topic: There is currently nothing ingamae as profitable as farming CoF Path 1. The favorite farming spots have been nerfed, as have the targets of most farms.
Sounds like advice from a convict. Or a silver spoon baby.
Assuming such is true, how does that even make sense? I thought all teleporting utility-skills (Blink, Judge’s Intervention, etc) were supposed to be stun-breakers, the fact that all cantrips are supposed to as well aside. What do people think about this double-negative in GW2-logic?
Wait until the official patch notes before you float down the river.
