iLVL 105 + is a joke!

how can people still be connecting ilvl with skill....

SE needs to stop trying to make this safe environment where everyone is happy

Careful what you wish for. Asking your lover to choose usually doesn't end with them choosing you.

If everyone cant be happy, the best solution would be to make the most people happy. Locking gear behind, for lack of a even remotely accurate word, "skill" gates is not going to make most people happy.

Sometimes I wonder if the real hardcore players (those who clear raids without watching a step-by-step guide) are bothered with these "skilled" raiders (whose only skill is following said guides) being able to use exclusive gear that they cheated to earn, or at least as bothered/vocal as the latter about non-raiders getting gear that isn't even high allagan.

So going into a fight with a guide is cheating? Wow.

Not cheating in the sense of exploiting the system or using hacks, more about... How do you feel about using guides to play single player games? (from start to end)

I haven't played single player games in a while but until not so long ago reading guides to play a game was considered really bad and would label you as a bad player, then suddenly with MMOs reading guides instead of playing the game is considered good and "skilled", at least for those who wait until guides are out before trying out new content.

When did "being good at following a guide" become "being a skilled gamer"?

stuff

Guides just give you an idea what's going on instead of going in and wiping over and over to the same mechanic. You still have to learn the timing and feel for the fight yourself. Comparing that to a single player game is incredibly naive. Nobody wants to run with players that die to stuff over and over til they learn it. At that point you're just wasting everyone's time.

Uh, it's not like things are different from before. Game handed iLevel 100 gears for free that made most content trivial. And 2.4 is going to come out and you will have PLD in iLevel 120 who won't know how to tank.

If you want to complaint, complaint about the whole system.

I think if there was a maximum amount of seals you could obtain per week then it would not be so very congested and become more relaxed...

But there you have it huh? Complaining about the caps on soldiery, oils, sands... they were removed for allied... and now we are here.

I am i107 and have cleared t9 consecutively for the past 8 weeks. Ilvl 110 people still stuck on titan and t5 are hilarious.
