More bullying in the dungeon forums. I am going to report this one, in the hope that this is not actually wanted here.
And to the OP, as you can see here, bullying people in dungeons is something that seems to be in style with certain people. And just like bullying in real life, most others stay quiet and just hope they are not the one’s being bullied next. It is a real shame that this is acceptable behavior in our GW2 community now.

Oh great white knight-esque vigilante of the forums! Long have I waited for you to bring salvation to us and preach your ways you have in the hope of us being enlightened!

But alas! The corruption is far too strong for even you, o great one, to ever hope to purify! For your own continued well-being, you must avoid stirring up the denizens of this land! Else, a terrible fate shall await you!

10/10 mate.

Man, i think you got me wrong there!
My intention isn’t to convince someone of the meta, I simply tried to summarise ideas and arguments some berserker aspirants have when it comes to this forum.

Well, according to your later comment i see what kind of person you are. But ok. Of course you did not tell him to gtfo. And just because he didn’t mind your comment by saying so, doesn’t mean he didn’t mind it at all.
Also was it just a nornal question from my side, what’s wrong about that ?

Edit: according to this:https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Behavior-in-Dungeons/first#post4583435

Uhm.. Hi

Here we go again.

Well, was a normal question. It’s not up to you to tell people to leave the game.

I do. How did you find out ? O.o
Got the word out of a lot of threads, now i use it.

5) Play another game, you’re obviously really bored.

And who are you to tell people what to do ?

Lunar Sunset.8742

Cheers mate!

Miku Lawrence.6329:

Too long didn’t read. Wtf is going on srsly?

Mix of boredom, brainhurt and general hate for “people“.

Lunar Sunset.8742:

Cool, we get it. Stop posting the same thread over and over. Elitist r ppl 3.

Thanks for that constructive comment. Glad I found out what you think about this, couldn’t live without knowing that! Now feel free to leave this.

Combatdesign is perfectly alright, it are the encounters who could need a rework.

“Combat design is perfectly fine, the encounters are the ones in need of a rework.”

Just a typo, I agree with you on all points though.

Mate, it was early in the morning!
But yeah, cheers!

Grimm is the King of the dungeon forum.

-sincerely Grimm

Cheers for the 100 pages guys.
Now lets get the next 100 going!

Yes Rasimir, you are right.
But as I wrote above, is no one forcing any meta to new people. Nor is anyone forcing them to go melee or to skip trashmobs.

It’s irritating that some people claim they would be forced into the meta and then with the demand for changes kinda try to force their preference up to us.
I mean correct me if I’m wrong but if being able to skip certain mobs gets removed from the game, aren’t I then indirectly forced to not do it anymore ? So what now if i like skipping mobs ?
Just doesn’t fit for me as in the way it is now we can play how we want and they can play how they want, right ?

Once an elitist gives advice about metabuilds, it happens to be the case that people say he forces the casual into the meta. In fact he doesn’t.

Hehehe.

Long long time ago, I was kicked from my casual guild because they “play how they want” and it “always worked” for them so I should stop giving advice “forcing” them to play my way.

For instance, a newbie would ask in guild chat what weapon his mesmer should use in dungeons and get told to “take a staff because the skills look flashy and cool”. I would answer “melee is your best option, so go sword/focus” followed by explanations why sword is superior. Apparently, that hurt their egos.

At least there are still some people who appreciate help (ty [Noob] students).

I know that feeling mate!

Hey all, once again it’s Grimm.
So, to start my thread; I’m an elitist, I enjoy min- maxing, developing tactics, clearing content fast and in general, i like the “elitist community“. Before my time as an elitist I was a casual too, I did dungeons every now and then without caring about gear or anything, then one day I discovered the DnT metaguides on youtube and got to know a few german guys who brought me into fast dungeonclears. I was impressed and so I started to “develop“ myself as a player and now I am at a point where I consider myself as being a hardcore player.

So I am kinda active on the forums, especially in this subforum. And I have to say that I am about to give up hope on this community! At first it was funny to see threads blaming the berserker meta and elitist players but I am at a point where I just roll my eyes when such a thread appears again. The issue is that I am not the only one.

Many casuals come to this forum (which is good imo) and ask open questions or create “ragethreads“

• Those can be about gear, builds etc.
  Once an elitist gives advice about metabuilds, it happens to be the case that people say he forces the casual into the meta. In fact he doesn’t.
• People create threads about getting kicked for not playing the meta.
  That’s true and I will keep kicking you if you don’t fit my standards. That’s my right as a player. Create your own group and YOU can make the requirements.
• People come to the forums and start threads about “broken combatdesign“ or getting forced into using meta builds.
  Both are not the case. Combatdesign is perfectly alright, it are the encounters who could need a rework. Also does no one force you into running the meta, it is up to YOU what you find enjoyable, it is up to YOU if you want to skip or not, it is up to YOU if you stack or not.
  Here the issue is that people watch record videos and try to adopt the tactics in normal dungeonruns. They don’t see the work the other classes do (blinds, aegis etc) nor do they get that those runs are RECORD RUNS, pretty obvious imo. People spend a ton of time making them and if you’re not much into speedclears then of course they seem easy.
• People cry about the lack of a holy trinity
  Well, was obvious from the headstart on. Go play a “support/tank“ char but don’t think you will be useful then. That’s a fact so pretty please get over that.
• People creaty threads about getting scammed
  That’s the case, unfortunately. If they do a legit run, they should be allowed to sell. Anet never stated that it would be forbidden to sell legit solo or duo runs.

Another issue I come along every now and then is the attitude of some players. When you are not open for constructive arguments then pretty please don’t create threads here. Stop fighting in lost points.

Summarising:
We all enjoy to play this game in different ways, that’s fine. But we are not allowed to ask for changes just because they fit OUR PERSONAL TASTE. We can bring points up, ask for for advices, share our points of view and so on. But I am sick of stubborn behaviour on this forum.

Last words:
I don’t mean to offend anyone, I just try to explain the way alot of people feel about this. (hopefully)

Sorry for spellies, im not a native english speaker and it’s too early in the morning for my personal taste!

Now let the fight begin again..

#justelitistthings

Puuuuuuuuuush!

Ouch ..
Gratz guys!

Sad Grimm is sad..

Well, that escalated fair too easy. Deathly, as we are friends, the way you talked about our guild was not a good one. I am sorry if you feel offended in any way but the way you acted was kinda offensive aswell; in my opinion at least..
You guys don’t like to run a PS war, thats fine. We can share our points of view in a normal way without kittening around who has more experience to just underline arguments resulting out of PERSONAL PREFERNCE. Same goes for my guys.
Gosh, the toxicity in this community is deep.. One might say we “Elitists“ should work together to achieve stuff on this game. In fact I simply see rivalry and arrogance creating dark clouds above the fields of tyria.

Don’t get me wrong I like you all, my guys and you deathly, and I don’t mean to offend anyone. But this is simple bullkitten overacting. We can do better than that!

/ That being said by one of the biggest trolls..

Sneaky Thief..
Same but I don’t like stubborn attitude!

U whot cheezy ?

I agree on what Jerem said. It’s personal taste if you want ro sacrifice either ele or war dps to give more group benefits. As PS goes hand in hand with EA, one might like the PS warrior more. Now don’t come with “no need for EA, nor PS; l2p noob“. I know that you don’t need EA but having it is a nice benefit.
Also as staff ele is simply a beast compared to s/d or s/f I prefer to have the PS war.

Deathly btw. aren’t we all PHIWs ? But yeah, pretty much what kitten y said to the rest.

Don’t u just love how they censor my name?:D

Yeah, wtf even!

Nice move mate. 10/10..

I used to argue with this guy on a daily basis, he is literally the person I despise the most on the internet. One day, I gave up and never went back to the “general sub forum”

ikr? 95% of the kitten he posts is just to argue semantics, or point out the obvious in a way that will derail the topic. At least most of the regulars seem to know to not take his bait.

Jerus.4350:

We’re talking about a Die Hard ANet brown-noser here, all he does is try to poke holes in any complaints anyone ever has about what they are doing, he gets some sick satisfaction in it. That’s why I couldn’t help but point out his use of “everybody” after he pulled the semantics card earlier in the thread, sorry for that but I really couldn’t help but point it out. The guy is full of himself.

No worries, he knows how to push people’s buttons, and its clear that its reason he’s here. Honestly, when I see 2+ posts of his within 5 posts, I just stop reading. You know it’s just going to be bickering and nitpicking from that guy.

ANet knows what we’re asking. I take the silence to mean that they have no good answer for us. Lets be honest, we all know that to be true at this point. That thread was more or less a last chance to talk and say we’re wrong. It’s on them, do they take this opportunity or do they confirm our beliefs?

Yep. And we’ve gotten what does appear to be a few attempts at misdirecting the thread from Gaile, and when we stuck to the issue, the red posts stopped. It’s like we “toxic” folks care more about the health of the game than they do :-/

GrimmR.3541:

Am I the only one who misses Videogamer Mike ?

I do! In fact, my rank in the Forum Aggressor Guild is VideogamerMike because I miss the guy so much

Oh, and this guy is a champ, too.

I have the rank too, nostalgia nostalgia!

I hate you all.
I never ever dropped an ascended box..

dlonie.6547:

Ugh, I’m so tired and sick of nitpicky people that I can’t even tell if I’m being sarcastic or not. I’m trying to just be understanding and not stir things up, but it just sounds sarcastic when I read it back.

I should go watch some Sarcastaball or something.

I’m tempted to join the discussion. On the other hand I already get too many mails telling me to be a kitten kitten and to go kitten myself.

On a Pizza I like bacon, pepperoni, mayze, ham, of course cheese, onions if they are kinda not too sweet and not too spicy!

Like, corn? That’s a new one to me. Hmmm….

Strange austrians are strange!

No. On a Pizza I like bacon, pepperoni, mayze, ham, of course cheese, onions if they are kinda not too sweet and not too spicy!

I like carrots in general.

Sam is sad because no one watches his stream! :D

I like carrots!

Ranger definately comes from range..
Please get your axe/sb and post a build on the forums then.
I’m being sarcastic. Sarcastic comes from the word sarcasm, if I wanted to be nice I wouldn’t be an elitist.

WTF even ?

I still play Guildwars 2 because I am a defender of elitism, my guild is great and i can still set myself new goals. Other than that do most other games tend to bore me.
Well, not sure but I will definately still be around for a while..

I can send 1g your way. What do you ask anet for now ?
The lack of good behavior isn’t their fault.
Next time, do a run with your friends or guild and you won’t be in any danger of getting kicked.

And another one as always!

Flat one dub! Oo
