i think the difference was the old muting system
anyone could get there hands on almost anything
and it could turn into almost anything else
it was simple
non time consuming
and rewarding

and for everyone talking about the 2 hour climbs
u know it cant be done by new players
its still a 4-6 hour journey of grind klik grind

we can see the fun/time factor
and it is appreciated by the already established LS players
but still not enjoyed by new players

and when was the last time any of us volunteered to put aside our own IRL responsibilities
to spend 4 hours or more
to slash with less experienced/new players?

except for a few, and kudos to them,
its us that needs to make the game more inviting
not paul

just imo


you are so clueless lol

Just did a climb yesterday... and running in black is boring but was what we ended up doing at the top levesl.
We didn'T even bother remaking at 55 cause it was not worth the hassle of maybe having a small chance of perhaps finding nmnm.
There is no benefit now in exploring.... we did it for a while cause I nicely asked to, but I'm pretty sure others would have prefered a faster black run :(

It's not just players who make the game fun for new players.
The way the game is now, I fail to see the fun of it.
You can't ask a new player to invest fg in a game he is not even sure he will want to play next week.
Skilling? For those who can do it, is extremely time consuming to get the a respected level.
Most old players were lucky to have items that were self welled or muted as current gear.
New players can't rely on this to gear themselves, and as far as welling is concerned, no one wants to stop in the middle of a run for a well.
Good luck finding one at 71.
If only there was a well in town, new players could grab all the whites they want and get a chance in the well without other people getting impatient at them.

running on non-black is nice as you can encounter EPs...

Especially not from a guild that patently refuses to play with people who don't have good gear. "Come join this game, so I can shun you until you spend $10,000 on fg to get gear that makes you minimally acceptable to climb with." Yeah. Right.


Now tell me again how you contribute to this game again? Before your spewing of more needless comments on UA, do you play 'Pick Up Games' because you're such a good samaritan or is it because you don't have enough active players to do a guild only? We play with a lot of players as well from a multitude of guilds and yes we do seek out those on top of their game. In all fairness, we even asked YOU to join us last night.

NN your guild bashing Dom. Sober up and think more clearly b4 posting again.

The difference is I dont feel like spamming G and playing whack-a-mole. I dont care if arena took me 8++ hours per climb, it was more fun.



I agree

also

I think we should get a free lotto ticket with each mq :)

the system is now designed to let the veterans weed out the rookies, isn't this what you all wanted?
all the godly players complain that no one is good enough to play with them anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not to mention guild points are all but worthless now considering it takes next to nothing to achieve them.

I bet if thier was somewhere for the rookies to play where thier not being booted and called losers they might play, what option do they have left?
spend 3 weeks on 1 climb? does that really seem fair to the new people. Does it even sound like fun?


What the hell are you talking about...

I find it amusing that all of you in your big guilds sit here and say you help out people and shit, yet you sit there on your vent and verbal people all day. (Not just at you Stok3d)

I was one of a few with good gear, who would go into games and play with anyone at anytime.
