My rant page. I never rant, but i decided i need to vent or i take it out on whatever annoys me and that never works out.

SO!

Issue #1

Raging at monks.

I monk. I do my best to keep you standing up so you can do your job. Why the holy hell do you rage at ME when YOU take 20 minutes to kill one mob?!

“

Why did you stop healing omg noob! noob! lol noob monk

— Warrior

Gee. Why would i stop healing after 20 minutes of fighting one mob? Maybe i was bored? Maybe i was tired of waiting.. maybe i ran out of energy? Maybe you should do more damage or at least read what skills do?

I mean seriously. I do my utmost best to monk decently, i don't even suck that much and then when i reach the pinnacle of my abilities, i get people like THAT. Why the fuck do you blame a monk for running out of energy when he does nothing wrong?!

Issue #2

Dishonor.

It was a really good idea, punishing leavers 'n stuff, BUT theres always a but to Guild Wars..

In Fort Aspenwood, nobody even bothers to report leechers! And they still complain that they always lose. Perfect example:

Ranger A stands at spawn doing nothing, so i ping him and report him. I see B,C and D report him and when the match finishes, I have Dishonor on me.

Why. Why do I get dishonor when me and three others report him? Even worse is when the Dishonor ended (the only good thing is the duration), i entered the match and there he was. Again. So basically, me trying to remove him didnt do a thing, it backfired on me and he wasnt hindered at all.

You're not promoting using this feature Anet.

Issue #3

Picky in groups

I understand why you would want good people in your team that do their jobs right. I know that your time is limited and you want to succeed. EVEN SO, beeing a titlewhore is not the way to be pro at the game. That you spend your precious time in HA, beating people and feelin' all awesome because of it is completely fine with me. You're over there, i'm over here and all is well. Then i walk into HA/RA/AB and people judge based on ranks. So far i can understand, it relates to experience.

Then this is where it goes wrong. In HA people look at rank and if its not up to wazoo you arent even considered. My friend is rank 0 gladiator, hero n shit and whenever he marches into AB he shuts down casters and melee without breaking a sweat. But if he went with his skill to HA they would say:

“

No rank, no match.

— Leader

I see a problem with that. People are so discriminate on ranks that they miss real talent just because they dont have a title. If a top gvg'er went undercover on a different char, he would ALSO be rejected even though he is one of the best players in the game.

Maybe you don't think of it as such a problem but i do. When you never pvp it isnt that annoying, but it bothers me enough to rage about it. This way you prevent pugs from forming decently (i know most people suck), and new players will mistake this as normal because it is all they can see, thereby giving birth to ANOTHER one and another and another...

I make it a point to bring bad people into missions just so its different for a change. I can skate trough almost every mission with H/H except for a select few. Just because itll work out better with good players isnt an excuse to be an ass about picking whoever you want.

Whenever i see someone who behaves like an prick just because he doesnt get what he wants i silently wish he would jump off a cliff to spare me another useless emotion.

</rant>

Wauw. I really suck at raging. Maybe i should get angry once in a while.. you know, show some emotion for once?

Nah..

Issue #4

Tourists.

Tourists are by my humble opinion people who have never been to an area before and are only there for the ZQ's. My problem with these tourists are that whenever its that time of the month for an area (Doa, right now) the entire place litellary SWARMS with people wanting to do the quest.

Thats how Guild Wars works, no problem there. This is where it starts:

I farm doa to make money, and i look for pugs to do so. Whenever a bounty/quest/mission/whatever points to doa, suddenly theres a bazillion morons,idiots and other tourists spamming the chats to hell with LFG. That's normal, i know, but it becomes impossible to find a pug for sc'ing at that point.

So begrudgingly i take the ZQ and go with one of them in DoA Hard Mode. I enter, ping my build and theyre okay with it. What do i see in the pug?

• / Arcane Echo Meteor shower
• / Splinter Barrage
• / standard Doa HB
• Imba
• SoS
• Aob derv

And some more. but when i actually enter the game and fight, we wipe at the first mob. Why? The imba doesnt imba, the monk spends his time wanding the mobs (and thereby losing all his energy and the Dervish with his armor hides behind the backline waiting for them to attack someone not-armored.

The result?

I with 60% DP, monk 0 energy, eles all dead, dervish ran off, sos died, para wonders why we died. We rez thanks to me beeing the UA, and what do i see? They spend over 5 minutes regenerating energy.

Result of that?

Ready? My energy is xxx of xxx! <4 minutes later> :I'm not regenned yet! <2 minutes later> Ready? Hold on, Avatar recharging.

There we spent 6 minutes waiting for them to get ready.

I understand people are new to doa. I understand your builds work everywhere else. What i do not understand is why you bring half a Glaiveway with completely incompatible classes and builds and expect to live trough the game. I as monk refuse to leave a party as sucky as they are, because i do not want thesame to happen to me, period.

There i'm beeing overly patient with them, even though they have no way of surviving Jadoth anyway, i stay with them. The above repeats itself a few times and i finally decide to drop them and find a new pug.

I come back to town, join a different pug and The exact same thing happens again. And again! And again. And again.. And again.. Either i am really bad at picking groups, or all those players are just.. stupid. At the end of the day i decided: I'll come back when the ZQ is something else.

Maybe i am overreacting, but this isnt the first time this happened to me and other people of my guild/friend list and it is one of the few things that actually manages to anger me.

People, please, for Guild Wars' sake, look the area up on wiki before you go there and expect to win. The monk community gets very very tired of it (i know more monks with similar story), and this is half the reason elitism still exists.

Please, please learn a build that works, please do not come with your crappy I does damage hurr builds or your I has super aoe derp "skills" because you're gonna be dead before you cast your first skill and theres nothing we monks can do about it.

As vanguard has it, monks can fix bars, but not stupidity.

Quit blaming me/monks for your idiocy and either don't bother me with your problems or quit playing Guild Wars.
