Do the Legacy Servers Have an Elitism Problem?

[KarstenS]

I join a party finder for Sophia Extreme, only to be kicked out for not having "Blood for Blood."

Sorry to say. But I would kick you for the same reason out of a party for endgame conten t like the current extreme primal or Savage. The correct cross class skills are important to run a proper damage rotation.

I'm pretty shure the real reason you got kicked was for dealing very low damage.

Check out yourself and go to the Sophia traning dummy in dravanian hinterland.

I didn't deal any damage because we didn't even do it. They just looked and were like "Oh, he hasn't done Dragoon." So I got kicked. In the previous ones I've done my damage wasn't an issue, I was dealing sufficient amounts that got the job done when need be.

All servers have scum. As a player on Leviathan (supposedly a legacy server) but only since 2.2 I have noticed that they do things that are less prevalent than on other servers. Things like using gathering & hunting bots - maybe they think that they've been doing it since 1.0 so they're immune, who knows.

TLR *All* servers have elites but maybe those on legacy servers push the boundaries a bit more.

I used to be on Gilgamesh and that was pretty chill for me, then a friend suggested I transfer to Balmung, so I did and I regret it every day having to deal with fussy elitists that probably think their shits don't smell bad with how much they ride their own ego when it comes to the game. I never had these problems with any other games I play like Star Wars The Old Republic.

Balmung is probably one of the most laid back servers out there honestly can count only a couple times having an issue with someone, There was even a couple of people today who spent the day helping random people get through Sophie EX.

Sorry if you dont have B4B you would get kicked regardless of server guessing you only got by before because people dont usually look at classes its usually assumed you have your cross class abilities.

Cross class skills are 100% optional and are only used to increase the base utility of each class. Just because a player doesn't have one of the abilities doesn't make them any less knowledgeable or skillful as the next.

Some are required if your going to challenge difficult content, try having a healer without swiftcast or a tank without provoke not having B4B makes it so the other 3 dps need to compensate for your loss of dps by not having it.

Its not like leveling is hard these days at low levels its just laziness to not have them

As I said before: Go to the Stone, Sky, Sea Dummy and test it yourself with Sophia Extreme.

It will show you how ready you are for this content.

Sorry, but no. The correct cross class skills are mandatory for content like current (and not to long ago) extreme primals and savage.

There seems to be some confusion in this thread as to which servers are and are not legacy. For reference:

JP Legacy Servers
Aegis
Durandal
Gungnir
Masamune
Ridill

NA/EU Legacy Servers
Balmung
Sargatanas
Excalibur
Hyperion
Ragnarok

They're not required, if they're not apart of the base toolkit they are not required to play the class. All they do is make it easier, having X skill open for cross class isn't a determining factor in whether or not someone should be excluded from content. Stating it is a requirement is exactly what that post is calling out into question.

I have and I have passed all SSS, I've even passed a few of them without WM on, SSS isn't even a good tool to judge by anyway.

B4B is part of the base toolkit for Ninja if he got kicked for not having Mantra he might have a case but when doing endgame content you are expected to have certain cross class abilities B4B is one of those.
