GW2 Drinking Game, 2016 Edition
Two years ago, I wrote down some drinking games to play with my friends while we fart around in Guild Wars 2. Itâs been needing an update for a while. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: this isnât intended to be a How To Play (or How Not To Play) guide, itâs just a list of things I see in the game that make me, personally, want to take a drink.
