This is exactly the elitist mindset of like 5% !?
This is the reason why MMOs get completely dumbed down.
If you only want to play 0/8/15 setups, well than its fine. But THOSE people force the MAJORITY to play the exact same way as those "elitist" propagating. The rest is bandwagon, all play it, so I gotta play it too.
Sure the old WP was a MESS as dps/melee and melee healer, but it was fine for PuG'gers and some ppl made it work with different setups than you call out as the best/most effective/meta. I do like the changes but the cooldown breaks it down, so that you are playing a "third/part" of the class. Feels good to have damage but at the same time WP's payed a bittersweet high price for it. (Hope they lower the CD or doing other changes, because atm it feels somehow unsatisfactory)
All this META chimera is killing game after game, because the cry for balance and streamlining (yehh we can all do the same) will become a neverending story.
But it aint work, unless you have only 1 arena and everyone starts with a machinegun and exact 30 shells nothing more...
Please dont get all this wrong:
I am open for changes, I also aprpeciate most, but all this META here META there blabla...
Are we really supposed, to play a game like a complete diehard capitalist where every single number must (in theorie) be maximized? While in reality its such a wonky game, with utterly crap game engine (movement, collision etc.). I just cant take it that much serious. Again,
I like the game it is charming. But if you really want to paraphrase about all this meta crap, that somehow sounds just wrong. (at least to me) That fits into real competetive games, but not our "turn some rounds after work/whatever non competetive" game. Because its NOT. There are no ladders, there are no prices, so lets enjoy the game but please objectively and as what it is.
This
My stance is only from a typical min-max meta point of view (only a handful of groups actively subscribe to this playstyle on RoR anyway), and not necessarily the only one; everyone's feedback/opinions ought to be respected, even if they do play scantilay-clad murderous lady elves such as yourself!
Somehow the "non elitist" players get mostly completely shut down and often I saw it because of they cant "Theorycraft or express their points so well"
This is also a question at the DEVs
Do they want to change the game for "Hardcore" players, or do they want to serve the average and PuG players? They cant satisfy both. If the game lose the "PuG"ers then the HC players will also leave, because they have noone to farm and they will be fed up when they only meet the same enemy team in SC over and over again.
Still love you Peter
