I do not mean to be too insulting by generalizing, but my experience the competitive scene involved alot of players who would criticize other's behind their backs over offering to help them improve themselves. Then again I'm a self admited white knight by nature.

I'm all for a challenge as far as nm's and gear goes, but I'd rather not see a segregation in the playerbase like what used to exist in xi. i.e. "Player (...) is godlike because player (...) rolls with linkshell (...) which knows all the ToDs and has the means to outclaim and kill nm (...) with ease and does so on a daily basis"
I would like to see a balance. I certainly don't want people excluded simply because of the competition aspect. Ideally, you would cater to everyone. I would certainly be open to new ideas and whatever compromises there are. What I wouldn't want is for one camp to get everything they want to the exclusion of another, whether it be those who share my view or those who share yours.
