The absolute best players?

[Gunrunner4590]

So I've farmed atma pieces since release, don't even want to state how many hours and I have 3? But there are players that had all 12 on day one and some on day two? So the best players in the game is decided by RNG? Hmmmmm.....

I got all my atmas on day one but i dont think im one of the best players I am currently on my 6th book

News flash. There are no "better" players. Just cocky ones.

B-but Kyth! Some players are better at raids! Some players outclass others with their mad MMO skillz!

1. All difficulty is determined by:
a. Your reaction time, this gets worse with age.
b. Your latency.
c. Whether or not you are a competent human being.

2. Your "mad skillz" are determined by:
a. How much time you have to sink into this game. (Be it memorizing patterns or RNG, I don't flippin' care.)
b. Your latency.
c. How much of a prick you tend to be to other players.

Better players don't boast. Better players don't bitch about those with less time getting gear in alternate ways. Better players contribute to their community in positive ways. Better players aren't jealous nor disdainful of other players that choose to sink more hours in.

Neutral stance. Be a better player.

No, the best players are determined by skill, not by their luck.
Someone who knows what they are doing will always be better than someone who doesn't, regardless of whatever slight upgrade their weapons have.

A DRG with a crafted i70 weapon doing the right stuff can easily out DPS some useless DRG with a Zenith spamming 1-2-3, as I recently found out.

I wouldn't say quite that. There are 3 weapons that are very, very comparable and they are all gotten with different paths.
Getting all 12 Atmas doesn't make you the "best" player.

Here's an example:

All iLvl 100.

As a matter of fact, when all is said and done (at least until 2.3), the Animus weapon is actually 3rd behind Allagan and Non-Weathered.

Having an Animus weapon isn't going to make a shitty player clear Rafflesia, much less what comes after.

This so needed another new thread. The OP's statement is a totally unique perspective on the whole atma thing.

I am the best player.

Atma is not inherently better than Zenith. It's literally the exact same.
animus is when it's actually on par with any other i100 weapon, and that just means they grinded mid tier content for it. In no way are they "the best"

Atma a shit, people need to stop worrying about it.
