you're a good player, honey, but to think you rival certain others is beyond a joke. anyone with tanks and healers as good as yours can create some good results!
WoW! - This post really is thought provoking. I had never thought about it before, but now it seems almost ridiculously clear. Maybe it isn't the fact that the individual dps player is great, but rather, maybe it's the fact that the individual dps player has FOUR support classes willing to continually log in, day after day, supporting an individual that makes him/her great and gives him/her the delusion of grandeur that we so often see in our community boards.
This is some ground breaking stuff. I noticed, for instance, that when I have guard and two healers I tend to do EXTREMELY well in RoR scenarios. I'm talking 0 deaths, 20+ kb's, Top Dmg, absolute rick-roll level sh%t. However, when i solo que on the EXACT same class, my results tend to diminish.
At first, I suspected this had more to do with the fact that the people queing against me when I was solo were just WAY better than those queing against me when I was grouped. But now, after this amazing enlightenment you have noted, perhaps it is instead the FOUR individuals that were previously supporting me when I was grouped that were actually making me look so freaking AWESOME! and when I'm solo the advantages of those supporting group players are much less present (occasionally pug heals do ok, almost never does a pug tank, but no-where close does pug support come to the coordination and support of four dedicated grouped support players).
Admittedly, I don't post screenshots and videos of all my premade triumph roflstomps. I know I know, I should. I should probably also tell everyone how great I am, and how bad they are. Heck, I should even tell veteran white lion/choppa players (I never played white lion/choppa on live) how these classes work and what they can/can't do in T4. More-over, I likely should be the authoritative source for how good/bad white lion/choppa abilities are that I have never played with (33+ abilities I've yet to get nor ever used since I didn't play WL/choppa on live). I say I should be this authoritative source because look at my grouped play results, it's absolute roflstomp. I mean seriously.
But Forget that for a moment, and let's get back to the meat of the matter. What if, and this is really hard to imagine, but what if I did make all these grandeur statements and post all my roflstomp screenshots/vids and it turns out that it has nothing to do with my delusional perceived skill at all **GASP**. Instead, what if it really has all to do with the fact that I'm grouped with FOUR dedicated support players, playing a private server game, against a very small population, that has little organized resistance for the majority of sc's / rvr that occur.
***MIND BLOWN****
Basically, and bear with me here because I'm just spit balling, I'm theorizing that maybe as much as I want to believe I'm the GREATEST OF ALL TIME, maybe it has all to do with the fact that my triumphs are the result of premade coordinated group play against the masses of unorganized pugs that fill the majority of sc's/rvr instead of my inherently awesome skill? I know, this is about as laughable a theory as you could get, that somehow my premade group triumphs are a result of just farming unorganized pugs, but when you look at the evidence noted in the above quote, it does begin to border on the realm of possibility.
I think some additional testing is required here but I definitely think we might be on to something.
**EDIT** - wow, some additional evidence backing this awesome new theory. Just played against some people while solo qued on the WL. My team and I didn't do so great. I topped our team's score and kills but we lost pretty handedly and the other team had higher #'s. BUT, here is the real kicker, the opposing players I played against were some of the EXACT same players I had roflstomped the night before in a premade group. I know - not totally conclusive just yet, but this is gaining traction.
