Issues with Coil: Statics v. The Rest of Us

[darkstarpoet1]

Uuuuh. This happens in every end-game in every game. Fights are tailored for x amount of people and you can have more in your group. It's the same thing as leaving someone behind because they suck and don't pay attention, they become a burden so they get left behind because they cannot catch up.

it had nothing at all to do with being left behind because of being a lesser player. it had to do with being left behind because you weren't one of the first 8 to sign up. there's a big difference between being left behind for one for an event because of lact of room and being left behind while not even getting the chance to get experience in the fight at all.

I'm throwing a comparison of people being left behind.
Let's change the numbers then... Ok. Let's say you got 10 ppl or 11 or anything not directly multiplied to 8 people. There are times in which you have to take X & Y member to achieve something because either they got there first, they're needed to achieve a certain goal, or just plain favoritism. While it's not fair, sometimes thats the way things roll. Same things happen IRL, you apply for a job, they have 200 spots 300 come and the most competitive get in, nothing we can do about it... fair? no.

the point is not getting left out once. the point is that the content is locked to once a week for the static group and the rest of their members are neglected. doesn't sound like a good way to make or keep friends at all to me. using your analogy for a job it's like saying that when you didn't get that job you could never apply to that company ever again because you didn't get the job the first time you applied.

i remember stopping the work on my relic in 1.0 to help the same group of people to catch up. that helping others is what a mmo is meant to be about. doing things with others and helping friends. if shiny loot and e-peen means that much that it leads to excluding friends then i feel sorry for the people that want it to be that way.

This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about! If SE allowed for players to go back and participate without having a loot roll, this would be alleviated.
