Replace “5K+ AP” with “DM title” and you might have a better qualifier…

Or maybe “5K+ AP & DM title”? Nah… That’s asking too much.

DM title doesn’t mean as much as you’d think it means. It merely means that the person has seen the end cutscene at least once.

It appears sarcasm is lost on you.

sarcams is the refuge of a shallow mind, if you don’t have the balls to say something, do not hide behind a veil of sarcasm to hide your insecurity

also, sarcasm does not translate very well into text

it’s your fault he didn’t get your point, not his fault.

Joined a TA up PuG.

I saw a 14k AP ranger and thought “Cool, I bet he brings spotter, spirit and plays melee only!”

Haha, no. Legendary longbow with bear only.

simply awesome

People who have an AP requirement are the same people who have run the dungeon a dozen times and consider themselves a role model for how the dungeon should be completed. Giving completely unnecessary advice, in most cases wrong, dying and giving tips while dead, and running full support.

As some people have mentioned, I understand being a bit cautious of those with less than 1,000AP, but other than that… There was a time when I joined a Fractal group that was asking for experience and a speed run. I thought sure, okay, I’ve long reached my 500Fractals achievement they can’t say I don’t know what I’m doing, right? I join, mouse over their thumbs and see that they all have 15k + AP. Having about 3,200 at the time, I felt sorely outclassed but carried along. We rolled swamp… I was the only one who was managing to get the wisp to the cleft and the others were asking “how the hell do I get to the cleft if the walls keep closing on me?” And with that I left…

Sure, your personal experience totally creates the rule.

Of all the requirements, I find “pink dyes only” to be the most effective. Why? Because I did it and I got good players with a lot of sense of humour, and we had tons of fun.
See? I’ve just made a statistic.
I guess that’s how logic works here.

What I love about this is that I’ve done something similar more than a few times and it has always amounted to a great experience. One night I was in a particularly good mood and had said something like “Has anyone ever noticed there are no female giants in Skyrim? Or do the females just grow the best beards?” in my description and the fun that ensued was pretty memorable.

Erm, I don’t pug. Last time I did it was almost one year ago, and everyone was a scrub. Me included.
Still, you’re not the only one that isn’t objective, so everything is fine. Humans are incredibly bad at not making everything subjective.
Cats, on the other hand…
Yeah, you got it, I’m a cat. I’m totally awesome.

Maybe as a badge to get in exp groups you should have gift of what ever that dungeon is instead of 5k + APs?
