BA elitist groups monopolising primal

[Fiorinol]

EDIT: I should also point out, since some have apparently thought it would be some sort of justice to snipe portals and leave these "monopolizing elitists" down a party member, that's griefing and it's against ToS. If you're going to snipe, which I sincerely discourage you from doing, you should probably try your best to contribute. You can't really be carried through BA.

There was a GM message a few days ago all these Discord players were being enamored with, so now they go in instances and scare players by telling them they'll report them for taking "their" portals. It's not "sniping", the portals are fair game for everyone in the instance. If you follow a specific player around constantly to take their portal, that's another story, or follow people around with the sole intent of taking a portal spot and doing none of them content yourself, that's also another story.

Those discord servers don't work for everyone and some of them tend to have heavy favoritism.

It's only griefing if they go in and don't attempt the content, leaving, standing outside the bosses, etc. When you see someone shouting to antagonize people over "claims" those people are told by 3-5 people in VC to stop doing that, those people aren't exactly common.

I haven't seen favoritism in the discord. I feel like a lot of these claims are based on assumption and not experience.

What they left out was the 2nd half of the post saying that it only applies if people are doing so with the intention of griefing or trolling. Going in of your own free will with the intention of doing the content is fine, regardless of who the portal was "stolen" from. I'm all for common courtesy. People have the right to ask for the portals. That doesn't mean that people can't decline or ignore such requests though.
