Players that think like you have no part in my gaming experience and I will be more than happy to avoid you all day long.
Sorry but as others have pointed out you are taking my post well out of context.

It is a necessity in that type of raid encounter with 24 people in the raid (DURING THE PULL AND FIGHT) to stay off of vent and use text. Between pullls, waiting on people, after a wipe, or moving to a new mob, then caht away but during the encounter it is counter-productive.

The poster I was responding to was being overtly condescending and basically providing false truths pretending to be knowledgable when they have no clue. I was pointing that out to them.

You would be surprised at the relaxed family atmosphere of this guild I was in, to the point we had guildmeets across the country every year to hang out in person.

Do not judge a book by its cover.

Hey, if that's what you enjoy more power to you, who am I to judge... But playing a game so seriously and rigidly just sounds awfully un-fun to me
Well thats the difference between.... say a pro football player and a guy that goes out with his buddies and throws the ball around.

The pro is doing it for his reasons, to be the best at it.

Vs

The guy just doing it to do it.

Like I said the hardcore that do it competitively.

There are things like esports guys .

Not to say hardcore players dont have fun doing what they do
Well said archifikoss. Seriously this is recreation. Barracudastr the pros get paid to play those sports. We are paying to play this game and regardless that some here may play games professionally they are not getting paid to play this one. Even pro sport players play other sports for recreation and don't treat that as work also.

I raid with similar skilled caliber players.

So that the raid leader and the main tank (or whatever) can communicate with everyone else.

I like that analogy of the tourists; it seems so apt with these casual content vultures.
You along with a few others , understood the kind of situation we are refering to. The intense hardmodes progression raids where everyone is too focus for idle chat.

Ofcos we do have awesome raid chats during regular raiding, but apparantly these bashers never reach that level of raiding.

Ps: in b4 , we dont need 2 jobs. (fyi raiding at such level is fun for some)

What does this mean? Well, hardcore members are more than likely to come back if things get better--casuals are not. So if the servers are GROWING with levelers and casuals, then 1.2 comes out and blows a hardcore's mind, then they will regret leaving and not keeping up with their gear.

We already know that 1.2 is revamping PVP and introducing a ranked system including new mounts and all new vanity items with social gear for additional customization. Fully modifiable purples so we can look how we want, a legacy system and FOUR pages of crafting notes that include full revamping of the system. This is among a lot of other things yet to be revealed (but stated by BioWare).

Not to mention they have people testing it in-person and transferring guilds. I really think they are excited about 1.2 and really think its a game changer. I don't give any new MMO less than 6 months if I like it at launch and believe it has promise. I didn't with WoW and after the server settled down I fell in love.

I think 1.2 is going to be amazing and really make this game. But I definitely agree it can make or break it especially for hardcore members like you and I.

Either way... I have my fingers crossed.
Fully modifiable purples is going to potentially ruin progression depending on how they do it. Honestly i like the idea of it, but they should have just made armorings with set bonus's drop off of raid bosses or have them bought through commendations.

The way they are setting it up just gives them an excuse to keep making an abysmal amount of end game loot, like for instance right now, HM FP's share loot with 8 and 16 man normal mode OPS, commendation vendors for tionese and columi also give you that same loot, and some of the loot is even shared with HM OPs. Modifiable purples will just become containers for mods, so why should BW care about making really sweet looking end game gear.

The problem is that, orange items have nothing rare about them you get them mostly off of heroics and quests or through crafting, you dont have defeat any extremely hard end game bosses to get them. Then you look at mods, and they have nothing unique about them, they are just named after what stats they give and thats all they are they dont make your gear look any different. The combination and the ways of getting these 2 things just doesnt sit well with me. They should have just intergrated armoring drops with set bonus's into the game, these armorings with set bonus's you could buy through commendations or get from end game drops.

Making end game epics pretty much obsolete (because no one wants to look the same as everyone else) is silly, BW took the lazy route IMO, why couldnt they have the armoring drops with set bonus's for people who want to use orange items in the end game, and then actually make a reasonable amount of gear for end game PVE. This new system isnt going to help BW 's huge problem of end game progression going way to fast because of the lack of gear. If all those modes mentioned above had their own loot tables it would effectively triple the end game content, adding orange items will do nothing to solve it. I think its important to have customization and i like the idea of orange items being viable i just think they are implementing it poorly , like so many other things in this game.

Some people like to play like that.

What I dont get is why you have such a problem with people that like very competive hard gameplay?

It doesn't affect you, you will still have your easy content to do... why does it matter to you?

And you should go look up esports.

People do get paid to professionally game at a high level.

My idea of fun is not rolling through content like nothin because its to easy.

I like to be challenged, thats fun.

Samborino you lost me in your rant. You say basic oranges are easy to get so is basic mods and together they make average gear.

So what's the problem with taking the epiks you get from boss drops (yes those ugly pieces of ~cough~cough~) and put it in some orange gear that you find looking sweet keep your set bonuses and look how you want to look?

Barracudastr let me ask you this? Why does every game have to be an e-peen grindfest? I have no problem with it. When I used to do it I looked for games advertised as such. I used to play FFXI. Was fun while I was there and into that. I moved on. Just as you stated I'd say some people don't like to play like that.

I see a lot of I wish this game was SW:G2 or more like EvE Online or whatever whatever. The game was never advertised as such or designed to be that. So why must it change to something you want and not stay as something I want?

Screw E-peen, this forum needs e-spelling, e-punctuation, and e-grammar. Sweet Yoda, I'd be ashamed to post crap as badly written as what's in this thread.
