Now for the real important thing. Falafel or hummus?
Both. Never had either, I’ll try ’em.
I believe that is actually the right answer! Both! I think we are now allies in the battle against… something. Or perhaps, just people that enjoy the occasional chickpea.
Before I get back to actually playing the game and having fun, I just gotta say, this whole siutation reminds me of something I read, and saved, about a certain image board.
“Ok, Gonna explain something about /tg/ to you all, and nerds in general.
Nerds are some of the most opinionated people on the planet. Why? Because most of them have a head for trivia, and recall many disparate facts about several different topics. They always seem to know something about everything.
Herein lies the problem. This makes them think they know more than they do. How do I know this? I catch myself doing it too. I catch my friends doing it. It’s rampant on this board.
Why is this relevant? Well it means that nerds become very opinionated due to always correcting people that know less than they do. The issue is that then they run into people that know more than they do, and look kitten because most of them are used to being the ‘font’ of all rightness, and it butthurts them to no end that they are being shown up. Brains are supposed to be their forte, after all.
What this leads to is a bunch of howler monkeys wearing glasses sharing a board with one another, all used to being right all the time, and all used to being the smartest guy in the room (in their own mind, anyway). Clash is inevitable. And thus, we have /tg/, where we bicker and hate and can’t stop because we’re wired to be right. We’re wired to be Alpha Nerd.
Therefore, we can’t agree on anything, ever, as a whole. So we’ll never be able to self-moderate into an acceptable compromise, because each kitten here, myself included, thinks this is ‘my /tg/’. So we have to have our hands held by the mods/janitors.
And that’s /tg/ in a nutshell."
Don’t forget the neckbeard. MINE IS BUSHIER THAN YOURS!
I don’t get that it’s contaminated because the papaya is still there. The orange is also present now, but you can skip every tiny ounce of the orange. It’s content need never be a part of your experience unless you let it. You can stand there and scowl at the orange and enjoy the same papaya you had before. Your choice.
No no no. The original papaya was perfect for you. You enjoyed it for MONTHS. If it was rotten you would have never enjoyed it in the first place and taken it back immediately for a refund.
Yeah but now the papaya has given you AIDS. Whether or not you choose to acknowledge it, its there.
This is the correct analogy.
Fine, lets go with this silliness.
It’s your choice to partake of the AIDS. You can still eat the papaya without getting AIDS if you so choose.
No one is making you get the AIDS. That’s an option available to you however if you would like.
YOU ATE THE KITTEN PAPAYA ALREADY. We already bought Guild Wars 2. Now they’ve shoved AIDS in our face. We can ignore it all we like, its still THERE.
Yep. The Aids is still there. Yet fortunately for you in this crazy mixed up universe of comparing games to Subway and Papayas and Aids…..you can choose to ignore the Aids because it’s optional.
No no no. The original papaya was perfect for you. You enjoyed it for MONTHS. If it was rotten you would have never enjoyed it in the first place and taken it back immediately for a refund.
But I didn’t know an orange would go and contaminate my papaya. The grocery store man assured me “this is how the papaya is going to be, we ain’t like that other grocery store down the block always throwing oranges in with their papayas”. If I would have known that he still put an orange, hidden away in my bag of papayas, boy oh boy I would not have bought papayas from that grocery store man, no siree not at all!
Oh no. That orange wasn’t in with the papaya my good man. They specifically came to your home later and gave you the orange. Your papaya is still exactly how it was. Only now you also have an orange.
No no no. The original papaya was perfect for you. You enjoyed it for MONTHS. If it was rotten you would have never enjoyed it in the first place and taken it back immediately for a refund.

So maybe I go to the grocery store instead, and I want buy a papaya. So I buy one that looks pristine, like mint condition man. This thing is a beacon of hope for my future snacking needs.
Later on I get home, and I crack open that papaya. But guess what friend, that papaya is rotten to the core in the inside. That thing smells like death too. I can’t snack on this papaya. That thing will give me nasty guts. So I take it back to the store, but they won’t take it back right? They say, it’s my fault, because I misunderstood the label that said “Papayas fresh brought in last night”. But if they were brought in last night, how could they be rotten already? I just don’t know. How could it be rotten? Impossible. I just don’t believe it.
Just stop with the analogies.
You took home that Papaya. Opened it up and enjoyed it for months. Now they have given you a free orange on top of the Papaya you already enjoyed and you hate oranges.
Just stop it.
But that papaya was supposed to be the papaya to end all papayas. I didn’t ask for an orange, I’m actually allergic to oranges! Papayas are the only thing that my tummy can handle.
The orange is an optional component to your purchase. You can do whatever you like with it. You can throw it in the trash for all you like.
Please keep it up. They only get sillier with time.

I bet when you go to Subway and someone puts Mayo on your sub, but you totally asked for Ranch (NOT known as mayo!) you are just like “whatever brah, I can dig it” and go on your way.
Well you know what? Sometimes I don’t want mayo. I want ranch. The sandwich said “Chicken Bacon Ranch” not “Chicken Bacon Mayo”, so why give me the mayo Subway lady? I did not ask for the mayo friend. I even said “hold the mustard”, but I got the mustard too. So now I got me some Chicken Bacon Mayo and Mustard. This is just not the sandwich I ordered friend.
Terrible analogy.
Better would be that they gave you a Chicken Bacon Ranch, and then later came back to your table with Chocolate Chip Cookies and gave them to you for free on top of what you ordered saying “We have added free Chocolate Chip Cookies to all Chicken Bacon ranch orders. Enjoy!”
Perhaps you don’t like Chocolate Chip Cookies, but they are IN ADDITION to exactly what you payed for. Eat them or don’t. Your choice.
This is new content. You bought the old content. Old content is still there and you are quite welcome to play it…
You sent “LFG fotm lvl 5” to the chat server 3 times in 3 minutes.
That made the server say “This guy is saying the same thing too much. SHUT HIM UP.”
One different sentence doesn’t change that fact in the least.
Stop saying the exact same thing in rapid succession. Stop saying the exact same thing in rapid succession. Change your words more than once. Stop saying the exact same thing in rapid succession.
On the left sidebar for amazon is a feature to search only products that are 4 star and up. Oops, guess what happens if you don’t have 4 stars.
The amount of people that use this let alone know that it exists is extremely tiny. The vast majority of people use a website at it’s most basic form.
Sometimes they find the search function and use that. Sometimes just browsing.
To use filters? That’s a different breed of computer user entirely.
Not saying it doesn’t get used as that would be silly, but to expect it to have any actual significant impact is equally silly.
You know what’s silly? Making generalizations you have absolutely no evidence to back up. Did you do a survey on ‘Do you click the 4 stars and above button’?
And your evidence is what exactly? What’s your Amazon.com employee number? Yeah. Didn’t think so. Opinions go both ways bud.
Anyway it got me thinking about what might be a good deterrent. Who knows how Anet feels about this sort of thing, frankly I feel they could do to be hard nosed on this sort of thing. Anyway, if you quit/Alt-f4/log out then all your gear breaks. It’s simple and adds a cost to the behaviour that should make it a deterrent.
If under attack (Same code as prevents waypoint use is good enough.) a person whom loses connection should stay in the world for 30 seconds.
That’s a good deterrent.
If people start Alt F4ing before you even attack them then….at least they don’t waste your time.
As much as you see people whining here about the stuff. Everyone who doesn’t dislike it doesn’t come here to say anything about it.
I’ve seen more people enjoying the content than whining about it. The only place I see QQ about ascended gear is here on the forums and occasionally someone who wants a refund will log into the game to QQ in so much irony.
Why do people feel the need to call out a server because of some cheating scumbags? I’m pretty sure that people on Borlis (I’m on Dragonbrand) hate them just as much as you.
I know I hate and report all cheaters/hackers on Dragonbrand when I see em.
Attack at range. Wait for barrage. Dodge to the side. You can easily walk around the subsequent blasts that are off target. or take 1 hit. Then it’s a matter of killing it and removing weakness to make that easier.
That’s the trick to karka.
Besides wall of reflection/other reflection skills which are OP of course.
But the fact that you have to defend yourself for your name is really amazing. Just take your medicine. Learn your lesson. That sort of thing doesn’t fly in Guild wars. Didn’t fly in GW1 either. Doesn’t fly in most MMO’s.
You have to make sure your name would be something that you would say to a 5 year old child with an overly protective parent that would scream and cry and moan at the slightest insult.
Unfortunately Dragonbrand and Henge of Denravi both were unable to field enough players in WvW last night to fill even a single borderland. Props to Ehmry Bay for having a devoted crew who ignored the new content in lieu of the rollover.
The battle was lost, but the war has only just begun.
I’m afraid Dragonbrand will likely not have a show of force till the event is over.
While we do have dedicated wvwvw players, DB has shown to be quite a bit more PvE players and PvE players that like to play in wvwvw as a side hobby. Like myself. I play PvE, but I will mix it up in the mists when I feel like it.
