Things I Have Enjoyed Reading, And I Think You Would Too

Funny, insightful or interesting threads

• The Movement of the World: this made me so very excited for GW2, even if the future is pretty bleak. I actually have a lot of thoughts about this I might actually put on paper some day, somewhere.

• Rangers - The Team Toolbox: Yue (from Delta Formation [DF], at the time of writing the #1 guild) talks rangers and how to play them.

• How To Not Suck: somewhat abrasive title and OP, but still a good read, especially for players new to the lower forms of PvP, like Alliance Battles and RA/TA.

• PvP Questions and Answers: experienced players answer questions. Good stuff.

• Looking for AB advice: for players new to AB.

• Why Nuking Sucks, by Charles Ensign: a little bit outdated what with the new damage-dealing eles we have these days, but still a good read.

• Ian Boyd, Master Strategist: hilarious thread by someone claiming to be an expert on GW... except that he doesn't actually own the game and has never played it. People soon start mocking him.

• Guide to Aspenwood Bonding: for monks on the Kurzick side. I've had a lot of fun holding gates indefinitely :P.

• Charr Chat: funny imagining of what teamchat for the enemy mob of Charr would look like.

• E3 For Everyone World Map: not a thread, but have an oooold map of Ascalon and beyond from E3. It's clickable!

• Healbot Blues: my favorite GW comic ever. Great artwork and hilariously funny.

• The Biggest Jerk You Ever Encountered In GW: one of my favorite Guru threads ever. It was a sad day when it got closed.

• TeamQuitter.com: the guild might no longer exist, but the forums are still up and active. Lots of good and funny advice in there.

• Glimmer of Light Sucks: and this is why.

• What Would It Take?: why people don't PvP.

• How To Not Fail At Monk: self-explanatory title.

• Unlock These First by Auron: which skills to unlock first. Especially good for newbies.

• The Ecology of the Charr: for a lore-geek like me, a fascinating read.

• Weapon swaps for monks: all you ever wanted to know about weapon swapping for monks.

• The GEAR Trick: another very funny and very good GW comic.

• Factions concept art: thread showing some concept art for the Factions campaign.

• Nightfall concept art: same deal as above.

• Eye of the North concept art: guess.

• Skill of the Day, by Shard: hilarious.

• Jette's skills: see above.

More to come.
