Void Ark 24 member raid for 3.1

[Hyrist]

Hard to believe you can reach your KB and type all that out from the pedestal you're on.


Will I literally be soul crushed? no

Was it friendly banter about the inevitable re-skin that SE has shown us over and over again? yes.

But just in case I find myself in a pit of despair and severe depression I'll heed your advice.

You have to wonder how deep in in the hole our species is dug in when a foundation on logic and reasoning is considered a pedestal these days.

And it's not 'friendly banter'. It's hyperbole, and it's overused, and trite. Same thing with the parroted phrase 'reskin' when you likely have no idea the effort placed into these projects to begin with. People who use that excuse really just scream a complete lack of appreciation and understanding, and really should be better off elsewhere.

If you want to criticize something, actually commentate on the fights you'll experience, the art direction being taken, the questionably low difficulty curve, the lack of long-term investments in keeping the content active as seen with Crystal Tower.

There are dozens of better criticisms to have that only take the slightest modicum of intellect to bring up, rather than just echo chamber a complaint that falls on deaf ears as you sit and do it over and over again regardless of your substance-less gripes. If anything is being 'reskinned' it's that. It's not even a valid complaint.

I guess you're someone who doesn't believe that mental effort is ever at all as difficult or exhausting as physical effort, hmm?

No. I'm just highly intolerant of Tryhards who believe Massive Multiplayer games have ever or should require e-sports level dedication or mental to be worthwhile. Especially that even though if it did, they would fall horribly, horribly short of the mark. I used physical effort for ease of understanding. Telling him he would have to spend 8-10 hours a day trying to reach an optimum level APM would likely go over his head.

hahaha ...no -.-
it always makes me roll my eyes, when ppl think ilv=win.
i frequently out-dps ppl with 20ilv more than me.
i'm ilv 174, and someone set 180 for....alexander NM...so i was excluded from that...
i convinced them to take me along...as long as i could perform well....really?
the result? the ilv 190 ppl kept on wiping us.

Law of averages again, proves you wrong.

What you just described is the exception that proves the rule.

Sure, a well played, lower ilvl player is going to outdo a higher geared, poor player. But buy in large you're going to net more clears with better gear - it simply gives players more margin for error.
I'm not one of those people to set an inflated ilvl requirement for raids, because I know good skill will carry bad gear, which is why the minimum ilvl is set where it is in the instance. But as people get better geared, they're going to be able to clear more.

But please don't put words into my mouth. Me saying that gear helps result in more clear does not equate to 'ilvl = win'. But you're foolish if you think it doesn't help.



TL;DL? I really need to curb myself of reading threads like these. These sort of base reactions with little or no understanding or research behind them really just winds up infuriating. I'm better off writing an FAQ to the parrot-speak.
