The community made me leave

@ Vahlnir

You are someone I can have discussions with. In the end I just feel more people need to have patience and be helpful. For me helping others is an accomplishment worth achieving. Granted there are some you can never help because they simply will never get what you try to teach them.

Yeah, patience is a rare thing, no doubt about that. I feel the same way about helping others. There are plenty of people who are willing to help too, I just think some have given up trying. I know I'm occasionally met with "STFU, don't tell me how to play!"...but I still try. lol We might not be the most common crowd but we're out there :P

While I'm new here and don't have much I can help people with yet. This is what other mmo's have beat into me. Don't bother trying to help. Usually when you do you get someone that is going to blow up about it no matter how you word your advice.

Those threads are funny sometimes. I'm playing mmorpgs for years now and this game believe it or not has one of the most friendly communities I have ever seen. Sure there are ****s everywhere and people who don't know how to play or people who think they know how to play and flame you when you try to help them (that kind is the worst lol). Go to League of Legends where in every game you will hear about your mother or your father and all the kind and beautiful words you can imagine and tell me what is a bad commnunity then. I can say about other game's communities too but I don't have the mood to write about all of them. You have to team up with people you know or trust if you want static runs without problems. No the community didn't make you leave. You left because of your own reasons. If you are so good player like you say why you didn't applied to join one of the good FCs of your server? Blaming others is the easy way to go.

I kind understand how you feel.

I lost interest in being a guild and raid leader after my first MMO thanks to the community.
It took me 3-4 MMO's to lose interest in being a hardcore end-game player thanks to the community.
After playing all these MMO's I've lost interest in putting up with the drama. It's a pointless cost just to get digital loot. I'd rather take the long boring route and see a slight increase in gear than care about BiS. All thanks to the community.

You didn't even read his post, did you? LOL.

(Hint: you think you're siding with someone who's sick and tired of elitism, but you're actually doing the opposite.)

Levi may be your best bet. Isn't that the server Blue Gartr is on?

BG is on Excal, not that it particularly matters.

Everyone seems to think that their community is bad in their MMO but here's the thing: It's like that in every single MMO. So please, leave the WoW stereotype crap back in 2008 where it belongs.

Except almost every mmo that's been made for the past 9 or so years has been a carbon copy of WoW including ARR so the WoW stereotype still stands. When the leveling is braindead easy, solo-centric, and too fast the players barely learn how to play properly leading to the stereotypically bad community.

Everytime people post something like this I think to myself "Why?". Why leave because the community is bad or consists of assholes? There's many ways to make it so you don't have to deal with them (FC, Linkshells, friends), so make use of them rather than just blame your own laziness to set stuff up on the community.

Sounded like there quitting not because of Aholes but rather ppl don't play to there liking :P or at least that's what i got and if that's the case quit good bye {i mean i know there are lot's of lvl 50 Aholes in this game but to me you sound a bit stuck up and may just be one of the rude ones anyway}

[Gormogon]

if that's the case quit good bye

The same solution that hurt MMO's especially one that played a major role in 1.0

Yes lets resort to that.

Glad there were some people in this thread willing to help and offer a solution.

There is a lot to the endgame construct worthy of criticism, in my opinion. One aspect is that SE clearly wants us to commit to regular, unchanging static smallish groups to conquer and farm raids due to the kind of mechanics they use. In saying PUGs are full of less accomplished (i.e. 'bad') players and have proven to be unsatisfactory, well, all I can say is that is how SE intended raiding in this game to be, for better or worse.
