Elitist Much?!

[Vmage]

I think there's a certain point in the game where it is okay to act that way, that being endgame. It's optional, hard, and by then you rightfully should be expected to carry your own weight. I can see where it would even seem offensive for somebody to queue in with you and basically waste your time because they aren't prepared to contribute properly.

But I know you're not upset about that, you're upset about people who put other people down, and I hate that too.

so many times this

so so many...

it isnt putting people down. If you still have AF, there are runs you can do and there are people who want optimal stuff. They arent saying people with AF are trash or beneath them, they just dont have the stats to do what they need. Say warrior, ive seen warriors try to tank garuda sitting at 5.8khp with defiance on. well, she hits for 1.6k (to me with full darklight) and her slipstreams get close to 3k. A warrior at that level will be destroyed, and it doesnt matter how nice and supportive you are to them, they dont have the stats to do the job.

No. When I see people get killed by stupid, easily dodgeable shit, I get pissed off. Call me elitist if you want; I'm there to get my progression done and get my gear, not to watch you be a ditz for four hours and giggle about it at my expense. Believe me when we say that you are the only one laughing at your mistakes (in most situations)

If you want to avoid the gear checks and crap, then you should be an a progression FC where you can learn and progress where people will hold your hand and help you up when you screw up. PUGs are there to get their shit done with people who have the gear and have done it before.

Trying to beat AK with a group full of first timers who are content to just screw around and blame other people for the wipes is AGONY. Do try not to be part of the problem.

No, Pick Up Groups are just there to fill gaps in parties. You have to deal with whoever you get. Of course Item-Check is coming so eventually you won't have obviously undergeared people in your group, but you do have to deal with people without experience. If you want perfect members, you join an elitist endgame FC and only party with people you know. No one has to join a "progression FC" unless they want to. As much as nubs in Duty Finder upset you, they don't have to do ANYTHING you demand.

How else do you separate the men from the boys?

They are all boys, in video game terms the men are not playing faceroll PvE in MMOs, they are playing things like SC2, EVE Online, etc.

Not in a video game that's for sure.

Not in mmo's.

As an elitist I am tired of being insulted and being put down.

Hypocrites.

Were you turned down to tank cause you were gear checked OP? Be honest now...
