Monkey Island reference in Guild Wars 2?

[drusain]

So I've been playing a little bit of Guild Wars 2 and was doing part of my story quest. I needed to get some information from some pirates so I needed to try to join their ranks, but they would have none of that until a large wave of monsters dropped by and I helped. They conceded that I could fight, but there was more to being a pirate than to fight; you also had to be skilled at cursing. I'm thinking, "Hm, this is starting to sound a little familiar." In one of the dialogues where you had to choose which insult to use against the first mate, one of the options to use was "Your mother was a cowherder!" (shown in the screenshot below). And I mean I can completely hear Guybrush's voice actor in my head when I read this.

So I wonder: coincidence or subtle nod to the greats?

Besides the word "cow" it really isn't like the line at all.  And you guys aren't even swordfighting.

That's true. After all, the insults were only half the solution; you had to get ye a sword after all
