Just makes me realize that I single-handedly hold the fate of the chitin fragment market in the hands of my accounts. If I ever get banned (unfairly, as I'd never do anything to jeopardize my accounts), there goes a whole hell of a lot of chitin stacks out of the economy. I'm not sure the chitin market would ever recover from such a loss.

Good thing Guru hasn't found my super-secret chitin farming spot yet either. The second ANet adds anything to the game that spikes up chitin's value, I'm going to be throwing around "I told ya so's" like ninjas throw shurikens.




(This post is only half-serious.)

This one guy in my brother's guild lost all 82 of his accounts. That is not an exaggeration. He had a buttload of max titles, many, many stacks of ectos, several rare minis. He even had obisidion armor + chaos gloves on his PvP chars in addition to his pve chars.

82 accounts?! What the fucking fuck? GET SOME SUNLIGHT, PEOPLE.

Look at all the shit that this guy lost:




Serves him right, but DAYUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Serves him right, but DHUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

The bitching about those accounts pisses me off to no end. Seriously. They're bitching that they lost a lot of shit that THEY DIDN'T EARN! They cheated. There is no way possible to acquire that much in game wealth by playing the game fairly. I don't care how many accounts he can run simultaniously on different computers, it's just not possible. That many unded high end minis could be a total of 10s of thousands of ectos. Add in the number of FoW armors, chaos gloves, and everything else?! Come on, you're fooling no one.

I agree, John. There are a lot of hypocrites out there. There are even people on Guru trying to rationalize that the botters who got banned are the valuable part of the guild wars community! Can you believe that shit?

25k hours just on the main account?OK TIME FOR SOME MATH
5 years
24h a day
365 days an year
total hours in 5 years = 5 * 24 * 365 = 43800
Total hours offline 43800 - 25000= 18800.
Average offline hours per day: 10,3 hours.
Average online hours per day: 13,7 hours.
So yeah,that guy is clearly an example of a no-lifer.

ITS STILL TOOOOOO MUCH.
Plus,43 accounts?Realllyyyyyyy?

I will have to agree, though. If you feel the need to bot on 40+ accounts, you have no life. at a certain point, excess becomes worthless.

ya know.. i guess im a bad person im more upset that these ppl who cheated (not including the fam' here) may of very well been the owners of all the island guardians and now i will never see one ingame or have one. but im sure i will never have one even before this unless some one is truly caring and gives it away to me. oh wellz... QQ not really but poo!

/vote for anet to recirculate deleted items. not like they magically lost the skins in the data base... come on!

yeah, would at least be nice if they posted how many of each mini there were out there (birthday nes not included). Between this and the deleation of countless minis from the doubling glitch, who knows how few minis there are out there
