Guild Wars 2 Guru & UnbeatableGW & the Unbeatable's Legendary Guide


I had every intention of writing a useful hints type post today so I don't forget little things that I've come across or seen that makes life a bit easier in game, until a quick trip to http://www.guildwars2guru.com/ put me in a very pissed off mood.

You see there is a GW2 player who on those forums is known as UnbeatableGW and you can review his forum profile here: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/user/56026-unbeatablegw/ any how he had the audacity to create & post a Guide explaining how he came to obtain a legendary item.

Why audacity? That sounds like a pretty good deal right, a guide explaining how another player obtained a legendary is something every guild wars 2 player would be interested in yea? Audacity I say because it didn't take long before some ignorant tight assed wanker and poor excuse for a human being complained to GW2 guru that the guide was promoting exploiting.

You see the TLDR version is a portion of the guide is to locate a high level section of the world with several events within close location to each other & to "TAG" them, by tag I mean you contribute to the completion of the quest or event but do not hang around for the entire time the event is up.

There are a few scrubs out there with no imagination or any IQ of note that insist that if you do not hang around until the event has been completed, if you leave even a few seconds before the end, you are exploiting ... the game ... other players ... who knows really because when challenged they whinge & whine so much they cannot present a clearly defined position.

But it's not just the scrubs I am pissed off with, it's the moderator Khalija of the GW2 Guru site who took the guide off the front page of their site without warning because "I don't condone that behaviour" leading to 3 pages of comments from their site's members asking WTF ?! This after he / she / it admits they only performed a "quick study" of the guide and "completely failed to see" the purportedly offensive material (in their opinion ).

WTH are you a moderator for if you do not proof review the material you put on FRONT PAGE of your site? Then you offer up same lame ass quick study like it's not my fault I'm like really busy man doing stuff I can't be held responsible!

Given my stated purpose of providing a location where I and who knows maybe others can source links directing them to useful information, news, guides, helpful tips because there are not enough high profile sites out there doing so - to then have one of the few major hubs of information flippantly remove a great guide blows my mind.

Who gets to decide what is an exploit or not other than Arena net? Did this moderator email or contact AN? Did they tweet them asking for feedback? Did they consult other site owners?

No just remove the content from front page & bury the data.

Apologise all you like in hindsight after the members asked why - you've revealed yourself to be a tool of the highest calibre.

Wai 2 fail Guru Ya Rly.
