Issues with Coil: Statics v. The Rest of Us

[firepixiedarien]

This comment right here is borderline selfish. Did it occur to you that some of us want to see other players earn end game rewards instead of being hand held through all content? You should not bash someone for not wanting to do charity work all day.

Did it not occur to you that there is a big disparity between skilled players and unskilled players and that we'd rather see them helped instead of leaving the game?

Exactly. No one looks at the bigger picture. If the unskilled people left, then none of the "skilled" players would be the special snowflakes they think they are right now since the only ones left would be everyone who is as good as they are with the same(if not better)equipment available.

You guys who don't want to help the less fortunate still need that half of the player base by which to measure the value of your own accomplishments, you know. Maybe you should clue in on that.

Let's get one thing straight here, no one should be forced to help anyone. Likewise, Ronald's way of thinking (that other players work for their gear instead of us handing it to them) should not be forced on anyone.

If Loot Lockouts were implemented, me and Ronald would NOT be forced to help out other people. The difference is one of us in that situation would WILLINGLY choose to do so.

In the current state of the game, I am shoehorned into Ronald's way of thinking.

My post was less about whether or not someone should be forced to help and more that the "haves and have nots" attitude all over this thread makes no sense when it's the "have nots" that make the "haves" feel like anything they accomplish is worth bragging about.

It would do both sides a great service to show a little more solidarity instead of treating everything as a "My FC vs the world" competition. The lockout is a silly feature as is the decision not to allow BC as part of the DF.

There was no comparing being done on my side to the less skilled. What YOU should clue in on is the fact that the sense of entitlement that the less fortunate give off and people like you who think we have an OBLIGATION to do charity work. If people want to help then power to them but if not then mind your business and don't hound them. This is not elitism, this is a simple concept that has been present for a thousand years.

I'm sorry but quit crying and recruit. It's that simple. Find the people to form a static Coil group or pug those are your options. It's the way MMOs have been forever.

lol yea, recruit a PUG.

No.

There's a difference between:

A. Inviting/befriending someone you randomly met who is cool to hang around wit

and

B. Actively looking for someone who is cool to hang around wit

The simple concept is you not wanting others to tell you what to do, but then turning around and telling someone to mind their own business (you're telling them what to do).

Ignored. You're full of such negativity.
