    Do the Legacy Servers Have an Elitism Problem?

    Preface, shout out to the GM who handled my support ticket (great customer service compared to any F2P MMO).

    So found an OT from a legacy server in DF that refused to do A12N and immediately AFK after seeing the gear of the MT (the OT claimed the MT's IL244 was too low). I'm thinking, wow you got to be kidding considering my own personal experience: I cleared both A12N and Soph EX with the bare minimum of IL 235. I got to level 60 for the first time last week. Now cleared Soph EX a bunch more times (big shout out to the pug group on Gilgamesh), got soph EX bow, good to go.

    But if I were around people like this OT, players like me would have never gotten the chance because of a quick inspection pre-start and then a "AFK; IL too low." This to me begs the question, do the Legacy servers have an elitism problem? Being one of the original servers likely lends to a lot of hardcore/day one players that have these undesirable traits.

    It not much of a Legacy server thing, more of a endgame skill LV/bar thing... Befor 3.4. Endgame was so hard for most that ppl get it in there heads that you need to be over geared to clear something.

    With an attitude like that, getting him vote kicked out should be quite easy.

    Being on a legacy server has nothing to do with being a douche.

    So I was informed by the GM there's such a thing as a counterclaim by the grieving player that the party "forcibly kept the griefing player in the party too long instead of kicking." To me, this is a poor policy and only rewards this kind of ridiculous behavior, and honestly could lead to major embarassment for SE if a known quantity such as a Twitch streamer films this in action. The guy that was eventually kicked tried to hide behind this counterclaim when the party initially refused to kick him and wanted him to take the leave penalty.

    On balmung, you'll get kicked if your glamour is crap.

    Yeah that's dumb i cleared A12N with ilvl 230 and even that was easy, Item level doesn't equal skill an "elitist" should know better.

    At this point in the game, being a legacy player offers no meaningful benefit over players who signed on for 2.0. You just ran into a dick.

    what does the whole situation have to do with legacy servers? this could have happened anywhere anytime. also it is just one occasion. how would you draw the conclusion that all legacy servers have an elitism problem? and on top of that this is no elitism to begin with. it's just an idiot trying to be the best at what he does.

    This is exactly how it should be.
