Guild Wars is a hardcore structured PvP MMORPG that Arenanet decided to mainly market as a casual PvE game. Because making these two groups play together is a good idea.

Effectively dead since 2008, the games PvP is now structured around a skilled playerbase of 15 people, causing guild battles to be uneven (minimum of 16 players required), and championship matches to contain players from the same guild on opposite sides. The company who created Guild Wars, Arena Net swears that they will keep Guild Wars servers open for as long as even one person is playing. Speaking of this eventuality as though it is a distant reality, this declaration has further proven that Arena Net is staffed by monkeys who shit their pants.

Classes

  • Warrior - You can axe,sword,hammer fellas to death, but srsly though, you suffer from low self-esteem. Muscle-bound men in tight ass armor love you long time.
  • Ranger - Other than the fact that you wield a bow with unlimited arrows, you can order a variety of animals to rape your enemies. If you happen to love rangers you are most likely a fag whom runs around with your dick up your ass. Rangers are in fact homeless. If you happen to meet one irl (which is unlikely since you never left your computer), kick them in the nuts and see if they are able to block it.
If you got no life, and yet you are as poor as fuck you will buy Factions, you can play as these two exotic classes from Cantha. Congratulations, now you can hang your head with pride before getting raped by the final boss.
  • Assassin - Narutards that can teleport and kill you with daggers. The shit part is, even though Assassins wield a pair of fleshlights/dildos and dresses like a skank they are still able you knock you the fuck down and fuck you up real good. If you ever play as an Assassin, you have a Narutard fetish, suffer from smalldick syndrome and is most likely to die alone. Note that all female assassins are flat, skanky trap and male assassins are pussy deflectors. Ninjas have already earned a bad reputation thanks to Naruto and Assasins in guild wars successfully tore another orifice and made ninjas even more awesome.
  • Ritualist - Pot smokers that Commune with the dead to get their help in battle. They make ghost-whores, coffins of shit to break, and STDs for your weapon so you can share the fucktardery.
If you are still as poor as fuck you might be able to afford this game Nightfall, you can play as this exotic class from the rich land of Elona. But seriously, who wants to play a game full of niggers in a subcontinent recently plagued by AIDS caused by Satan? Sure, you get new skills but that only concludes that you have no life and barely enough money to afford a decent game.

Problems with Guild Wars

  • Despite what fanboys will tell you, there is no strategy involved in playing. Being successful at Guild Wars involved looking up a build at GuildWarsWiki or PvXwiki.
  • The game is a bitch to play unless you have every campaign and expansion.
  • Setting up a party is like trying to convince the pope God doesn't exist.
  • Everything you do is so that you can kill moar things. Therefore, if MMOs were to be 20-year-old women, Guild Wars would be a loli.
  • All female characters in the game are actually men.
  • The PVE plot is always the same: you start off as a noob, grind and help people, see shit happening, fail to solve the problem, fight demons and douchebags, and end losing to an Anonymous wannabe.

Unicode Support

Guild Wars has full unicode support. Therefore, creating guild names and spamming local with alt+021325 is highly suggested, to make sure the Jews know their place.

Gaile Gray

A community manager for Guild Wars who looks like a horse, srsly. She is also known as Whale Gray because her weight is OVER 9000, and also Faile Gray for obvious reasons. She also seems to throw temper tantrums on community websites when people complain about the shitty balance changes made to the game. She is no longer the community manager and has stepped down, but the amount of people to give a shit is really none.

While s/he was community manager, s/he mastered the art of spewing out endless bullshit and lying at every opportunity. To date, every statement s/he has ever made has been a lie, but narutards and ugly fat chicks still believe everything s/he says.1

Gaile Fatass is now Support Liason and uses her GM powers to ban whoever she wants from the game at any time. Her banhammer powers even extend into the official Guild Wars Wiki, which fails more than the game. She also helps two ass pirates named White Wasabi and Fall avoid bans in return for sucking her dick and kissing her asses. Since she took over support, Gaile converted ArenaNet into a Nazi training camp which perma-bans players for simply logging in.

1It is unknown whether or not Gaile is male or female. She has boobs that hang to the floor, but also has a dick for white wasabi to suck on. To be safe, refer to Gaile as "it".

Guild Wars 2

Arenanet announced Guild Wars 2 a while ago:

Guild Wars 2 will be the same as Guild Wars with a few exceptions:

In addition, gracious owners of base Guild Wars will be entitled to exchange their years worth of wasting lives over claiming 'achievements' for some useless GW2 titles that don't affect gameplay or make your character better in any way.

Guild Wars vs World of Warcraft

There are a few notable differences between Guild Wars and World of Warcraft:

  1. World of Warcraft doesn't suck ass.

Title Maxers

Like any true MMO, Guild Wars has titles that can be gained by grinding the game into the dirt with a minimum of 1000 hours, such as being drunk for 10,000 minutes, standing on lucky rings for over 300 hours, and grinding the same dungeon over and over until your cock falls off, which is a good thing for anet since their servers are running more while its a F2P game.

One could possibly have more fun reading the bible cover to cover than trying to get these shitty achievements. These people have no lives.

Whenever a player is in a major town, the names of players that have never had sex show up in chat, stating that they have wasted their lives gaining a title that does nothing.

An easy way to troll these basement dwellers is to pm them and tell them to go outside, get laid, or get a life.

In-game trolling tips

Before you read the further notes, one clarification should be made- due to the fact that Guild Wars players are usually leftovers discouraged from buying World of Warcraft by the monthly fee which they cannot afford, entire community has already fallen into state of permanent internal trolling, complete with periods of total obliviousness. For that reason extracting lulz from trolling in-game community proves to be harder than in other MMORPG games since the players are fully capable of trolling themselves on a daily basis.  

Chat trolling:

  • Usual occasion for this type of entertainment relies on the flow of inexperienced/new players. You can find these lying around all over Pre-searing Ascalon(GW Prophecies), Shing-Jea monastery(GW Factions) and Kamadan(Nightfall). Sole action of honest commenting on retarded posts should be enough to ignite a shitstorm.
  • Pre-Searing Ascalon, due to its detached and hermetic nature, is full of players who prefer to remain in that one place forever as it is the only place where they can actually get anyone to talk with them. For that reason this section of Guild Wars resembles a forum, only this time cybersex receives graphic dimension. Use your knowledge gained upon trolling usual forums. Same effect, only enriched with a 3D hint on what your casual trolling might be causing on the other side of tubes.
  • Visit American districts and unleash any topic regarding religion and politics.
  • Spam trade chat. As it is usually the only way for most people to sell their shit, this action makes people unhappy as their advertisements are kicked out of the chat box.
  • Claim that you want to buy an armor from other player. As soon as such claim gets stated, people all over the area will shit themselves while trying to educate you on how buying armor is completely irrational (GW armor binds on the player for whom it was crafted), in effect becoming vulnerable for usual chat trolling techniques.
  • Remind them that the only reason for their presence in this game is their inability to afford World of Warcraft.
  • Find crowded areas and spam that you are selling a super rare item for less than 1 plat. When everyone trips over themselves trying to trade you, walk away and watch the angry butthurt reactions.

Team trolling:

  • While on mission, pay attention to the minimap. It is useful to determine the location of enemy, as well as drawing marks such as further route. Now use your awesome MS-paint art skills and draw some meaningless shit on the minimap! For maximum effect try to scribble all over it up to the point of making entire map impossible to read. Bonus points if it becomes the only reason for failing entire mission.
  • Do everything that disables people from claiming elite skills from fallen bosses (players will usually inform the team that they want to claim this or that skill while on mission).
