I haven't read all this but frankly I agree with the what can they do. This is starting to feel a lot like grudge. I can't pretend it's not a chip on my shoulder.
I just don't want to imagine it's A, when A is unrealistic then then be even more fed up when I know I can't get a refund on my sub. I agree. I'm trying to keep an open mind.
But am I?
I didn't look like that to me either.
I'm trying to avoid disappointment.
Back when I had loads of people I knew this would have been fun.
But now I'm back in struggling to rebuild that as... Everyone is doing Savage, or got other goals... limited and built around the next savage.
Even if I try savage it won't be with them they've got their statics and I couldn't commit anyway.
And I tried M1 and maybe it's just because I felt behind the curve, but.. I'm not sure I just don't enjoy the style of high end fights. I'm not a fan of following the patterns I can't work out or just following other people. I disliked Ex's unity I find it I could blind it. That's not going to wash in savage PF.
And there casual stuff they do do , I'm bored of it, and again the reasons and the rest is fine is not the same.
I've been an asshole about high end players that is just stupidly prejudiced. When it's just some that have been deliberately sociopathic in their "be like me get good or F off and unsub" attitude.
I've got a lot of time for the high end trolls. They are just trolls.
Well some time.
The ones that mean it, and many do, they',ve not been saying it just to me.
Oh I should add in trying to PF prog Chaotic. So you can't imagine how much time I have to make friends and join in with other stuff. The FC ran screaming from trying to organise anything to do with that. But my patience for joining what other people do ec want to do is exhausted. I enjoy helping. But I'm no 'help' to a bunch of savage raiders.
Oh and watching YouTubers didn't help. It's mostly just the ultimate raiders now, and again they don't display much empathy. Condescending and arrogant seems to be a requirement to upload.
Some of the attitude towards mentor roulette is mind boggling.
If if seen seen some of those vids when I first came to Expert roul as a shock, and I was trying to help others too... I'm really not sure if I'd have been able to keep going back.
Cider Spider is cool though! Making a game of it and having fun. A passing option no more. Observational/situational humour, no more.
