  1. Wow, one confirmed person gets into raiding a week, so impressive. I've tried all those methods, none of them worked. I feel like I've been blacklisted by the old TTT guilds from back when I disagreed that they shouldn't use a personality test to bar entry from people joining their Worm runs. I've followed all directions to the best of my ability, multiple times. I don't know what to say. Well for starters, I'm not EU, so I don't think joining an EU guild is the best start. So let's see that chops off... 75% of all the options I've already seen before that you've suggested again. (Usually at this point people find out I'm NA and then go "Oh, yeah. the raiding scene is poop on NA, I'm sorry.") Also can you please stop trying to blame my attitude as if it has anything to do with capability to play a game? I'm perfectly polite and helpful in game, I've been in guilds competing for world first in harder games than this. You simply think I have an attitude problem because I'm disagreeing with the raiding community that seems to have no self-reflection on their actions.
  2. How dare I point out that you're doing... exactly what you're doing. Truly so uncouth of me. I would like to change that second bullet to read -very experienced raiders who only seem to be capable of blaming people not currently in raiding for not being in raiding. My "attitude"? Oh, you mean the fact that I'm unwilling to just let you make vapid excuses as to why it must be my fault, despite -oh- what is it you say here in your post "I don't know you" HMM. I'm not going to let someone just dismiss an actual problem that even the developers have recognized is an issue that is hurting the game, just so you can continue blindly enjoying whatever it is you do. I'm not even here to find a group, you're just grasping at straws to find yet another reason as to why I should be excluded while feigning some moral high ground. If you're judging everyone that can't find a group as incompetent, you shouldn't be in charge in the first place. You are part of the problem.
  3. I honestly have no idea why you think i'm some kind of frothing monster that it absolutely must be my behavior.... based only on your own experiences. How am I supposed to "have success with training runs and raids" when no one will let me in? Like... that's literally the problem I'm having, and you're acting like I have a chance to behave badly? I join the discord or whatever, follow their rules and requests, and half the time it's stuff i'd never agree to. I don't make them change their rules for me but I'm not going to go fill out a job application or a personality quiz to play a game. Those days have passed. Why should another player group with me? I dunno. I'd hope theyd be open to allowing other people to have fun and play the game, but that's literally why we're here, isn't it? People do fall through the cracks. I did. I refuse to lie to get in a group, I'm not going to fake proofs, I'm not trying to get carried, and you absolutely REFUSE to believe that someone could just have this much bad luck that they keep getting passed or get ignored or get looked over for another player. It must be nice to not have this happen to you. I should probably point out that not one of you 'benevolent souls' even thought to offer help, obviously i must be some kind of troll or ill behaved child to have the gall to disagree with the ever philanthropic raiding community. You just want control over who sees content. Period.
  4. If you're so offended at being talked to as if you're part of the problem, -if you aren't- why can't you recognize I'm not talking about you and move on?Ahh yes, because you like making personal attacks on people you disagree with. Definitely not toxic at all. Well considering the current raiding and fractal setup won't allow me to join, I've spent a majority of my time running support builds around open world, world bosses, answering help calls for hero points and bounties. It's kinda the most I can do without friends, a guild, or supporting raid sellers. I do what I can. I'm not incapable of understanding, thanks for the personal attack again. Really proving your point that raiders aren't elitist jerks. I've jumped through the hoops, I've waited in discord lobbies, I paid my dues and you're still blaming me. Just because you have a handful of 'success stories' just means there's likely many more people who dropped this stuff like a hot potato and moved on. Just because other people are willing to do your 'my way or the highway' mentality, doesn't mean I'm willing to compromise my morals just to be your raid slave. Everyone deserves to play the content if they wish, not just who raiders allow in. Also by your logic, there must be more people getting constantly screwed by the current system since I'm posting about my terrible relationship with it. Maybe this one is actually on you. Lookit that! Another personal attack, wow. :3c You really can't help yourself, can you? So rude.Yes it's absolutely my fault that I've tried it your way many times and here I am still with no raid experience. Not at all any responsibility of the training guilds letting people fall through the cracks and not doing what they are constantly getting advertised and praised for doing. But who cares, you're not going to read this and just respond with more lazy personal attacks.
  5. I put forth the question. If you don't want players to go into content with nonmeta builds, how are people to discover new meta builds? A big part of discovery is trial and error. Not everyone has access to guilds and friends in game, and even more of us don't have access to raids at all. a training golem can only give so much data. I've made meta builds in games before, but GW2 is just so.... I've never seen a game in which every player assumes everybody else is trash. It's shocking and depressing.
  6. This is mostly yalls fault in the first place by perpetuating a system that doesn't let people in, forcing people to lie to get their foot in the door, but We were under the assumption that this person wasn't lying in this scenario. If I'm told I have to take the responsibility of 10 people to start my own raid because there are none available for new players, you have to take responsibility for your own gatekeeping groups. Fair is fair. "When the big boys are trying to play, yall can shove off and eat scraps." except the big boys are never done. Yall take your share every week and never give back. Stop postulating good intent when its obvious that there's simply not enough effort put into helping people get into raids. Now if someone simply wants to get carried and only get the loot, there is even an option for them: pay some raid sellers but don't waste other people's time. You're so focused on the efficiency of getting your own loot that you actually recommend raid selling. Disgusting. Supporting inept players is the only way you get good players. Everyone is inept at the start. No one pops out the womb raiding Grenth. I do the same, which is exactly why I can't get any runs. No EXP, no proof, no runs. I'm still not ok with being a jerk to people over a video game. Considering that dps meters outside of the training golem aren't part of the game and are third party software, I don't think you should be allowed to use it as a litmus test for 'bad' players. You should only be caring if the content is completed. Saying that 'People doing 15k dps are good' and 'people doing 4k dps are bad' is inconsequential if you're beating the content. But again, raiders seem to predominantly care about efficiency in getting their loot. It may just be a taste thing but if I could guarantee a kill every week with 20 minute long fights of everyone wearing bunker gear vs berserker wipefests but you only had to survive for 5 minutes, I'd take the bunker every time. Dead dps do no dps.
  7. On the matter of builds, I don't particularly disagree with either, though I do have concerns with the idea of "Let's just copy and trust snowcrows and be done with it" but that is a completely different argument. Simply put, kill proof, LI, and whatever other currencies is a problem, but I've seen everything from requiring an application involving personal information and even behavior requirements up to and even including personality tests. Like I dunno if raiders have just been out of touch so long that they don't know any better but some of these groups that you're requesting people bottleneck into are kinda insane. My last attempt at trying to get into a raiding discord ended with the group deciding that they didn't want to include new members, despite having sat around waiting for a spot for two hours and their run being listed as 'no exp necessary new raiders wanted'. Like do yall even look at lfg anymore? It's 90% raid selling, static applications and people asking for 250 proofs.
  8. Congratulations on being one of the few not gatekeeping, assuming everything you've said is true. But here you go. By kicking a player that you've deemed as bad, you've just added another drop in the bucket towards the slow bleeding death of the game. One player from one group may not seem a lot but this is happening on a more wide spread scale. Could that player not want to receive advice and become better, sure. But that is on them. If you kick someone without any attempt to better them, you're just strengthening the argument towards 'Raiders are elitist jerks'. That person behind the keyboard is a human being with feelings as well, and there is the chance that they just didn't know they were bad, despite supposedly linking kp. Q: "Why should I play with him (a 'bad' player)?"A: Cause you don't want to be the final slice in a death of a thousand cuts that bleeds raiding out for good.A2: I dunno, maybe cause you shouldn't want to be a jerk? Plus, it seems a lot of people really want to run support builds in this game... was his dps below chrono tank as an actual dps role?
  9. Literally the history of humanity would like to disagree with you there. The point of people going through hardships was so that future generations could have an easier time. Raiders seem to suffer from "I've got mine" syndrome and simply want everyone else to suffer as they think they did, despite having a larger player pool available to them at the time. Raiders have successfully locked the doors on raiding content and made content meant to be available to everyone inaccessible. Hence, toxic. It's ingenious too, since you have the front of 'training guilds' bearing all the effort and publically looking like philanthropists helping the community, while the pug raiders can be as selfish as they want and keep asking for whatever requirements they want to keep people out, get their free easy clears every week, and never lift a finger to make the game better overall. Unfortunately the genuine training guilds (wherever they are?) need to go as well, because they're complicit in helping a system that is shown to be unhealthy for the game. It's the same idea that the janitor on the Death Star is just as guilty as everyone else.
  10. It's already a common thread that 'raiding isn't hard' it's been said multiple times in this thread alone. But now you set the hypothetical argument that no one is suggesting, that raids become as easy as open world content. You can literally get ascended with crafting or by using your credit card if you're desperate. All arguments against reward distribution are moot. Personally I think it's asinine that you're allowed to keep people out of content by making such a convoluted system with 'training guilds' and kill points and LI.
  11. Raiders would rather raids be killed than stop gatekeeping. wow. What's wrong with "free loot from raids" anyways? Another thing that raiders can't use as a gatekeeping tool if the 'average player' had easier access to it than crafting??? Sorry but this whole thread is just inane. The raiding community has made a set of hoops to jump through that literally no other game has while simultaneously telling everyone "raids aren't hard" and making up this mythical 'casual player' that has a build so bad that waiders can't beat their waids. Yall just like gatekeeping and acting like you're better than everyone else. Simple as that. Full Stop.
  12. Seems odd asking for experienced people when the people that don't play meta likely have spent more time trying to find groups that don't instantly kick them than actually in fractals...
  13. Can't finish the story instance. Either crashes at I'd like to do more in the game but there's quite a few things barred by finishing the story for the first time, like spearmarshal's gear and the griffin, apparently. It's not my isp, it's not my router, it's not a repair fix, please someone look into this already, I've been seeing reports of this since 2017 in trying to find a solution and everyone is being left out to dry. I came back just a couple weeks ago and I'm already disappointed that I'm hard blocked by this issue.
