PEOPLE ARE COMPLETELY DISREGARDING THE 2ND POINT - SO, NOW IT'S THE FIRST.
There, I said it.
The community? Really isn't that great. Gaming communities? Never going to be great. I've been on MMOs 10 years.
However, general attitudes on this game can be horrendous, certainly when people are too stubborn to admit they're wrong. For example, when a tank wipes the team in Shiva Storymode by facing the frontal sword form aoe Ice Brand to the healers, when you only turn it to the stacked party in Extreme mode. When confronted with the situation, they refuse to admit they're wrong, even though they never do it again.
Then, in recent months, most of what I've seen is a case of long-term players taking gear away from people who need it, lower levels including those needing primal weaponry from Hard mode primals for future relics, including ones they're close to starting the relic quest on.
A few members of my FC had 4 primal (Hard) runs just today, and 4 lots of loot taken away from the person we were helping. Why? Grand Company seals and synthesizing. Money is more important to people on this game than assisting your fellow gamer, who is new to the higher levels of the game.
Not all the community is bad. However, some of you are asking to go to Gamer Hell, and not to play strip poker with Satan.
Anonymous Player Responses - These players did not wish to openly reply
I agree with a lot but at the same time i feel its a 2 way street... things like loot drops and stuff should have favourbility for the lower leveled players, but at the same time there should be no sense of entitlement. I know that i will pass gear if others need/want it and i will only use it for seals or desynth. No one should in game feel that they deserve something more than others who took part
At the same time if it was discussed before the fight then yeah those people are assholes but if said when the loot is opened, some may have already rolled, not to mention not everyone checks their teammates gear xD
As for those who fuck up and dont take blame.. yeah they are asshole.. a whole lot of them are.. personally wish i could kick them if they are gonna act all high and mighty after messing up (reasons i hate tanks in WoD xD)
