Endgame Progression, Elitism and You

[Fyrebrand]

Thanks for the post, OP! It was a good read. I've really been taking my time with the game and I'm nowhere near 50 yet, so thankfully I've been spared the horrors of endgame DF drama so far. Still, when I do get there it will be much appreciated to have some kind of progression guide so I know what is realistic for my gear level. I really think that some form of item level restrictions on some of the dungeons, at least as far as Duty Finder is concerned, is a smart thing to do. Insisting that there is a hardwired need for better gear at any stage of the game is difficult, when the system itself doesn't enforce -- or even suggest -- such recommendations. Nevertheless, I'm sure the gear requirements are still there to some extent, even if they are currently hidden.

Also, thanks so much for not being this guy. As I said in that train wreck of a thread, there is a right way to broach certain topics, and a wrong way. The right way is to be clear and calm, while offering advice or criticism in a constructive way. The wrong way is to just shoot people down, point fingers, and go on the offensive.

Please pay no mind to the handful of trolls who only came in to spit a snappy one-liner. They obviously decided what your post was about from the title, and didn't bother to read anything else beyond that.
