Elitism and How It Is Ruining The Gaming Community [Discussion, Feedback, and Rants]

[Slate]

I think you have some things wrong:

Elitism != Healthy

AK + WP does not require Darklight

This is not the worst endgame community (see LoL and Middle East)

Other then that - I understand your point and unfortunately there's nothing you can do aside from ignoring those who are assholes to you. Think of it as practice for life XD

this is starting to give LoL a run for its money though, Bronze 4 forever

AK + WP does not require Darklight

Welcome to year 2013!

Where overgearing content is required, because if everyone cant instanty win without effort its bad game design. We are currently living "me!me!me!now!now!now!" age and this can be seen in every aspect in life not just in gaming, so long are gone the days in gaming where you had to earn your progress by skill and dedication.

I understand that things such as Amdapor Keep and Wanderer's Palace require at least Darklight armor

What the... requiring level 70 armor to do a dungeon that drops level 60?

I haven't done those two yet, but makes no sense to me.

But that's my point. People told me that I couldn't do WP/AK without at least some DL, and now we have people who are asking for full DL and Relic+1 for this very thing, which should require maybe one or two pieces of DL and the rest be your AF set.

You can this do this dungeon in level 40 armour if you want. Though your weapon proves the difference for the most part. If your tanking a PuG with people geared with DL and Relics, youll need a decent weapon to hold aggro. Personally, i've ran Ak as a tank with a lv47 weapon. Had a few hiccups with aggro here and there but nothing major. Other than that, you could run this with iLv45-55 weapons + AF gear no problem. All of the bosses are left to just paying attention and DPS checks.

If you want to see a friendly community that is focused on interactions with new and old players, then be that way.

Basically a rule for life. Set the example you want people to follow. You want a better community. Go into PuGs and be the nicest Son of a B*tch you can be. Support the newer people in the community by going into lower level dungeons and helping out newer people. I like doing it on my alts.

I have something better to talk about. Like. "DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER ONE OF THESE THREADS?" Not to be rude but its just.. enough you know? Nothing is going to come from this thread save for people getting angry. If you don't like the people just ignore them. Thats what i do. I have a strict no tolerance policy, they are rude, out the door i go. 15 is nothing for me.

10/10 I paticualry enjoyed the part about elitists requiring PS3 users to submit photo ID.

WP is doable in af gear and a level 44 GC weapon. It just take a bit longer.

I haven't played many MMO games, but from what I've read and understood, this is the worst endgame community anyone has been in.

Stopped reading there. From what I'v actually experienced (not just read) the community is fine.

From what I have experienced, it's what I described. Maybe it's different for each server?
