Raising the bar: Leetism standards and how it affects everyone else

[Medieval]

I am extremely annoyed and disgusted with attitude like yours.

Gotta agree, OPs outlook is too nosy for my tastes. Like a overbearing parent at a PTA meeting deciding what's best for everyone's child.

Gonna have to stand on the elitist side of the fence here too, yeah. Normally I'd agree that people are kinda being unreasonable about their gear demands (AK gear is more than enough to speed run CM and Prae, past a point you're only shaving seconds off, not minutes), but the whole "omg these people are hardcore they are a plague on our game" attitude makes me WANT to side with the hardcore elitists.

Let people play how they want.

If you're not happy, make your own groups, your own FC, your own Linkshells.

If you can apply the "lol let all the elitist jerks play amongst themselves like a circle jerk" logic to this, then I say the counter logic of "lol let all the undergeared whine factories play amongst themselves like a circle jerk" is just as applicable. Won't you be doing the exact same thing? Grouping up based on gear, complaining about the other gear demographics?

Come on, this is a joke.

Play how you want. Let others play how they want.

Don't force yourself on them, and they won't force themselves on you. If you don't like someone's grouping requirements, don't group with them. Make your own group or wait for another one to pop up.

I can't hit like more than once.
