Rant is currently under construction.In the meantime go waste your time Somewhere Else pls
To start my Rant I'm going to reconstruate a discussion I had with some guys yesterday in AB.
AB situation[edit]
Fightin,Or doing something similar :
<Capeleech> OMG! That !!!! Ranger dshotted my attunement.
<guildie> Learn to cancelcast
<me> <3 Capeleech
<Capeleech> Dude go to pve unranked scrub
<me> People had rank 9 only months after game release,You still think its that awesome to have a rank ?
<capeleech> You're just bad
<me> Yes and I also don't get my attunement dshotted.
<Capeleech> Your just not good enough for AB
Back at the outpost :
<capeleech and co> *rank* Hah how awesome are you now
<me and guildies> What are you trying to accomplish.
Now this is not the exact discussion but this is about what was said. Don't get me wrong my point isn't these guys are lolterrible players and are egocentric persons.I'm not the guy that will judge someone by that.I'll even admit that I talked to one of them for a while (the one that didn't rank me) and we had a good talk. So thats not my point.
Then what should we conclude out of this ?
- The game is to easy and imbalanced at the moment,People get status symbols and actually believe it makes them a good player
- Get fucking over yourself.Yes rank means .something. since the average r9 is better then the average r5.But that doesn't mean that you are good because you have rank 9.If you are good its because of what you did to get rank 9.If you use your rank as a argument you might grind your retard points for people know me to fast.And just a hint thats not always a good thing (read:Gladiator Motoko).
To be continued,short on time atm.
How titles ruined GW[edit]
What also strikes me is how many people think titles are imporant or mean anything at all.They would rly do anything to get them. There rly is nothing that takes to long or anything to get them people are willing to grind hours just for a piece of paper.Now you can say it adds to the amount of time you can spend on guildwars but does it rly ? I mean isn't guildwars all about the skill restriction ? Making builds,finding your ways.Shure you can grind alot and Eotn and Nightfall added alot of things to grind.But by design is guildwars really about grind? In my opinion no,I would compare guildwars to a chess game.the restriction creates a near infinite amount of possibilities.
People used to TA for fun,So they ran what they felt like running.They used to HA for fun so they ran what they felt like. And so on ... Design wasn't what killed TA,It was gamebalance and Titles.But anet will never face that,they'd rather remove it.
Another thing I'd like to mention is how people only care about skill these days.Shure its important but if you use titles to look at how good someone is then whats the F'en point.I'm going to tell you this now : Boro might whine alot about gamebalance,and yes his bitchin can be annoying but atleast he F'en tries to get better.Shure he's not the best player,but neiter am I.It would be cool if people could realise that attitude is more important then skill.If somebody is willing to learn,then he will learn.If somebody thinks he no longer has to learn,then he will stay bad forever.
