You should really quit this conversation at this point and listen to Goshawk. You sound as someone who can't cope with the fact that everyone's version of fun isn't always the most effective. Get over it and play however you want.

Because you post bullshit like how someone elses stats actually affects your enjoyment of the game.

Because it actually does for people who care about that. It is a measurable difference for what they care about.

I care for everyone to play how they want, because that is something that is subjective. Something like efficiency is something that can be measured however. If someone takes every opportunity that he gets to claim that they are one and the same thing because he doesn't like the opposite, then I'll at least point out that he's wrong every time.

Don't let others stat choices affect your enjoyment of the game so much dude, I'm not sure how else to say it. If someone else running soldier stats bugs you that much, you have a serious problem.

e: If you want to argue this further, let's do it privately and stop making GBS threads up what has generally been one of the happiest and most positive and friendly MMOHMO threads I've ever seen. Contrary to our arguments I still appreciate your inputs.

"Zerker" is the abbreviation for Berserker, which is armor with Power, Precision, and Ferocity. It's the most effective stat combination in PvE, since there is no trinity and killing something faster is your best defense. Common advice in GW2 PvE is to "run full zerker" for maximum damage output and efficiency.

Arus likes to run Soldier's, which is a defensive armor combination of Power, Toughness and Vitality. He finds this fun although this makes him less effective in PvE, and he gets really mad if anybody points that out and then goons start catfighting all over the place.

I actually have 3 sets on my guardian, only one is soldier. Currently I'm running knight, and have been for quite some time. On my other characters, I have every thing from berserker to rabid, no other soldier.

I haven't been "really mad" at any point and I'm a little surprised how you're coming after me about this.

Sometimes it seems as though you only agree with half of the "play your way" mentality. Gear however you like, but don't stack in dungeons. Use whichever weapon set you want, but don't take WvW seriously.

That said I'm feeling a bit cranky this evening so I exaggerated and that was uncalled for, I'm sorry.

The minimum required amount of phoenix skins that you need to have before you are a good player is 4.

Swiss Zerker founded Starfleet Dental and had a whirlwind romance with Arus (clam down). They had the first gay wedding in gw2 and used to grind tons of fractals to help gear up goons while they did erotic roleplay on mumble. But arus the night before the big guild raid homecoming arus spent all his money on black lion keys instead of paying his electric bill which ran about $1000 a month from running his deep fryers all day. The power company shut off his power the next morning and he couldn't log in for the homecoming raid or even get on mumble to apologize to swiss zerker. When it was time for the big game zerker was left to tank all on his own without arus's caressing heals to keep him going.

SFD wiped on the first trash pull and zerker was so heartbroken from being stood up he got blackout drunk and didn't wake up when his bitcoin mining rig caught fire. He was horribly burned and can't raid anymore. Arus tried to apologize and explain that the keys were going to be a gift after he and Zerker won the raid but zerker thought he was trying to buy his forgiveness and logged of never to be seen again.

Arus still blames himself and refuses to poopsock progression raids at all until he can win Swiss Zerker's heart back. But he's addicted to black lion keys so he can't afford a plane ticket to go and see Zerker in person. Goshawk just wants her dads back but Arus thinks she's mad when she brings it up.

I'd rather complain about how bad other MMOs are compared to GW2. I've run out of things to complain about with GW2 and fake posting out of the official forums is slim pickings because the most idiotic posts get deleted quite rapidly.

Wildstar has to restart the servers to apply patches. An MMO released two years after GW2 requires server down time for a patch.

Here's a post-gw2 release video rapping about the backend of GW2 from 2012 I think.
