"THe Development Team Does Not Currently Have Plans Too..."

[FrankReynolds]

What content gives you the impression that mythics are needed for anything? It's the nature of the player base, not the content. Or did you think VW required RMEs? Delve requires RMEs? Skirmish requires RMEs?

AT certain times, having those weapons increased your chance of success by a great deal. You'll notice that no one really shouts for them now because they no longer make a significant impact when compared to what average joe's are sporting. Now people just ask if you have a 119 weapon. Simply being the right level is good enough.

Normal BCs require RMEs? All listed are things I've seen people shout for hours at times, looking for x job with mythic, for no real good reason at all.

There's always that one idiot who demands the best. There's a guy on my server who shouts all day for relic rangers for AA normal fights. He shouts for a looooong time because no one wants to party with a guy who shouts for stupid crap like that.

A year ago, every shout was like that. All of them. Why? Because a guy with a delve weapon would blow a guy with ah gear out of the friggin water and people were pushing against time limits. Now, a delve weapon isn't far ahead of a JSE weapon. Close enough that player error is a much larger factor in winning. So now you only see stupid people demanding them. The guy who won't take anything less than an RME nowadays is usually exactly the guy you don't want to go with anyways.

It's as Afania said, when someone makes a pug, they go for the top end. What he didn't go into detail about and where most pugs go wrong is they demand the top end. That doesn't mean the content needs it, that's just the player base's mentality of "go with the highest chance to succeed." And as he said, when pugging, outside of checking out their gear sets in detail, asking what weapon they have is a short cut to getting an idea of how well they're geared. Doesn't mean it works 100%.

I would beg to differ. People don't look for the best chance to succeed. They look for the most reasonable chance to succeed. If the odds are incredibly high that you can't beat something without a certain job / item then you will demand that. JSE sams and monks can beat most stuff now with a fairly high success rate. That used to be a huge gamble so no one did it. Now I see it all the time. If it's more effort to find a RME guy than it is to just do the content without, people will go without. That is what happens more often than not now with a few exceptions.

There's always gonna be that one shell or individual who refuses to let people who haven't built all the weapons leech off their clearly superior skills...
