I never said -you- were, or at least that's not what I meant. I was talking about the endgame culture as a whole, the vast majority are like that. Maybe you are the exception, and if you are, that's good to hear, but sadly there's just not enough players like that around. My apologies if you took that personally; it really wasn't meant as such.

I am not "on my high horse", or "yelling at SGMs", none of that is true. I had a great conversation with the SGM.
Well, ok, "yelling at SGMs" might have been the wrong phrase... I meant "paging them repeatedly" or something along those lines.

I am only looking for acknowledgement. I am not looking for a miracle, nor am I expecting any immediate action. There's a shortage of players in general .. it's not specific to one group. I totally don't mind helping others grow .. because I'm always helping others grow. That's my thing, and it's always been my thing. Now I get back to the game to help people get equipment, vorseals, and clears. I get back to helping players do Domain Invasion. I get back to see how players are progressing, and see if we can team up with others so they can get things done. I'm always helping with party setups and strategies. I keep my members updated, and I'm reaching out for new players to join us almost daily. So don't judge please, unless you know me personally.
That bit I tacked on about people not helping other people was more of a rant at the endgame community itself, and not aimed at you personally. I have seen other people who, like you, post stuff like this, but some of those very people turn around and point their Seattle Space Needle noses up in the air at newbies because they ain't "good enough" and it's a sore spot with me. My apologies if I worded that in such a way that you took it as a jab at you specifically; it was not.

PS: None of us are moving to Asura. This is our server, this is where we are, and this is where we play.
You're of course free to do that... but I still am not sure what your goal was in trying to address this to SGMs or even the developers unless you're asking for server merges of some of the lower population servers (which I think should happen, to be honest). Nobody should be merged with Asura, but yet I think they could take 3-5 of the lowest population servers and merge those together, and it would make everybody's play experience better IMO.

EDIT: Also I'd like to again apologize for any snark or snipping in that post of mine you quoted.. I was not having the best of days and it kinda leaked out into my reply. These last couple weeks RL have been hectic and such, and that CP campaign screwed up my sleeping schedules, and now I got problems at RL work because of a couple problem employees, blah blah. I just want things to go back to normal, lol. But it was wrong of me to dump that in a post in reply to you, and I'll apologize for that.
