[edit] Things You Don't Care About
I have a number of characters of varying sorts in various campaigns at various stages of the game. I own all three campaigns as well as Eye of the North. I've spent the most time in Prophecies and Nightfall, and the latter is my favorite.
Rangers are probably my favorite profession. I actually have two, because I took the first one beastmaster and don't want to change it for her now as I'm used to it. The second one just shoots things. My current characters also include one each of Dervish, Elementalist, Ritualist, Assassin, Mesmer, and Paragon, though several of them have hardly been played. I used to have a Mesmer as a farmer (really) but I needed the slot for something else, so I took a few pics of her and deleted her. Poor farmer. I have deleted several other characters, including a L20 Necro, because I didn't like them enough to keep them. But I don't really dislike any profession, and I might create the "missing" classes at some point if time and money allow.
Despite the insane amount of time some titles take, I actually am a title-seeker. There are, however, some I am never going to get. Most of those are PvP titles. I also doubt I'll ever get Legendary Defender of Ascalon, because I don't think I'd find it fun. I haven't successfully done Survivor yet but I may try again at some point.
I PvP only casually. I am somewhat interested in trying Hero Battles but I still need to unlock more skills for heroes. I reserve one character slot for the occasional foray into Zaishen or RA, though lately I haven't really been active with that.
One reason I don't PvP much is that I don't want to play other people's ideas of a good character build. Another is that I'm quite willing to sacrifice efficiency for fun, which is pretty much not going to enamor me to a PvP team... which is fine. Everyone's got different ideas of what's fun.
On the other hand, I really like watching GvG matches just for fun. I like looking for the people with less usual builds and see how they do. I like watching trends in builds. And, just lately, I've begun making predictions over at the Xunlai Tournament House and spending my points on zkeys.
Whenever someone proclaims a particular profession combination or skill useless, it immediately makes me want to try it out. Sometimes they're right. Sometimes, they're not. I suspect skill choice has more to do with personality than with objective effectiveness, honestly.
Someday I will get around to making a more elaborate wiki page with details about my characters. In the meantime, I am hoping to fill out the Landmarks pages a bit, hunt down and correct typos and grammar errors when I'm bored (and fill in the occasional missing or broken link), and from time to time find something I can actually rewrite for clarity and do so.
EASK (Breakdown: Achiever 60.00%, Explorer 80.00%, Killer 13.33%, Socializer 46.67%). This is pretty accurate, although I may be a little less social than this suggests. I definitely enjoy exploring areas and while I'm goal-oriented, it's not my first priority.
Star Weaver and I live together. We make pairs of characters to play together and flesh out our groups with heroes and henchies.
