Alienation of Dedicated and Skilled players

[Underdog2204]

Calm yourself. Your assumption of me assuming that is any better how? Which is far from the truth, but again...Perception. Clarification goes a long way. Tone down the hypocrisy a little bit. I have no qualms with people disagreeing and backing their statement with reasoning. But to say, "No it won't work because I don't like it" is a poor refute in any stance. You claim to be open minded but are quick to deny suggestions.

Now you can keep attacking me if you want or you can actually speak on a civil plain if you desire. I'll gladly combat you either way until someone wants to chime in.

I'm always calm, just blunt. Yeah it can be grating but I have given my reasoning - optimisation.

It's a real issue that affect MMO communites and I've never seen it do good, "it's easy to say well casuals don't need to bother with it" which is true but then it doesn't work like that. People want their characters to be the best they can be so if their is a optimal build people flock to it just like FoTM classes. It doesn't take much for it to become the norm and then those damn dirty hipsters (jk) that don't follow suit quickly become targets. I like our community and do not like the idea of seeing it devolve into a cesspool over a few stats.

That is far more than "because I don't like it".

I'm perfectly happy to have you address if you feel inclined to do so and I agree that perception has probably clogged my thinking to which I do apologise.
