I introduced my friend (Now roommate) to PvZ GW1. When I started playing GW2 they really weren't into it, and despite me saying how good Citron was and how cool it would be if they played it, they refused to budge.... then the character export happened. (What a nightmare)
Apparently a deadline and a "Something nobody else could get" was enough to get her to (with me in tow) grind from rank 53 to rank 313 with completely unupgraded characters zombie side. We're talking no brainz for brainz smashing here. She works like all the time and watches wrestling. So guess who had to do most of the farming? Me.
Of course, I knew all I had to do was buy the 20k zombie pack over and over. I had to look it up, I was very pessimistic about the whole thing. No Self Revives and no Team Retries in that pack, and once I got all the customizations, it was all consumeables and Skip Challenge stars.
Here's the thing, I didn't do it for myself. I didn't even think we'd be able to get HERS in time. (I wasn't allowed to use the stars. ¬.¬ I had to grind coins and complete challenges as they came. I still used stars but I didn't say I did.)
By the time there was 2 weeks left, I was absolutely sure we weren't going to get the stupid thing. I was sick of the game. We started the grind Mid-January and finished with 1 week to spare.
It was a very emotional time. There are pre-mades on Gw1 who just seem to follow you to any game you go to. And a few people who shall remain unnamed who personally taught me the meaning of pain in the form of Law Pea and Toxic Pea. .-. lol
WE FINISHED IT THOUGH!!!! ARGH WE DID. MY ACCOUNT WAS RANK 113 AND I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT SO I DIDN'T DO IT FOR MYSELF!!! Now she's got it and I don't and I hate myself.
My point is this was all very emotional. Personally, if any of you get to purchase the Unicorn chomper, I will be so frustrated. Not only because of what I went through to farm it for someone else. But because I will buy it too. rofl AND I WILL HATE MYSELFFFFF
