Guild Wars 2

I just wanted to quickly point out what bs it is that some people have a bias against non 80s in dungeons, particularly these story dungeons that scale you up. Tonight I beat AR with my brother who was running a 41 Necro and he out preformed more than half the 80s we PUGed with, often times being the last one standing in the two boss encounters.

He’s no gaming god, the point I’m trying to make is that the scaling system works and I’d much rather have a competent 30 or 40 on my team than an unskilled, incompetent 80.

Also, being able to follow directions and preform mechanics is half the battle, and level has nothing to do with that. I’d much rather have a 30 or 40 who can follow directions and not lead Horik’s kitten cannon barrage right on top of me when we’re doing the corner strategy than 80s who run around like chickens with their heads cut off and get us all killed.

So yeah, don’t judge people based on their level; judge them based on their skill, willingness to be a team player, ability to follow directions, and overall level of competence.

Bias is built in. The only way around it is to show that you can do it. With pugs you have no one around that saw you do it. If you run with friends guild mates and they still are biased find different friends guild mates (or admit you need to improve your skills ).

Meh, just join groups believing everyone is terrible and that you are the only competent player (or that there are no competent players, in my case) and then you’re good to go. It’s better to be proven wrong and have succeeded than to be proven wrong while failing.

Optimistic pessimism at it’s ironic finest.

I feel your pain.

I’m looking for PuG for AC exp as a level 42 for quite sometime now, I just got 1 member. We gave up.

It boils down to most level 80’s not wanting to carry a non-80 through a dungeon, while you might be scaled up to 80, your gear/traits ect. are not, making you significantly weaker and thus, a huge liability because most of the time your either downed or dead, ect.
