They have scrapped all the tier systems, lfr, normal, heroic are generally all the same thing because the mega bad social guilds can go into heroic no problem. you can run +10s and upgrade your gear from what 220? to what 246 was it? just by running 10s? what was the point of taughast layer 1,2,3,4,5?
There is nothing to identify who is mega bad like there used to be, i used to run around with double agi sword as a fury warrior, azuls sword of jin, thought i was amazing, it wasnt untill someone took me to a side and said "look i can see yor really trying but take this blue two hand axe and switch to arms, come to the dummy and i will show you.
You cant do that now, learning and progressing was part of the game, im not ashamed of what i was, that was part of learning. that doesnt exist anymore because everyone is spoonfed everything so the mega bads like i was are running around continueing to think they are doing it right without anyone able to help them because its impossible to see......untill you join a +20 dungeon and there is a guy with 4k dps overall, then you know. but by then its too late and you dont want to help them because you hate them for wasting your time.
Without realising it removing elitism actually increases toxicity, because good players do and will help bads, just because someone cares enough to be amazing at the game dont make them a dick, as jealous as you may be, get over the jealousy and you will find they will help you. but by forcing them to play with bads and have there time wasted, there comes the toxicity.
Or i might just be talking about how i feel when a new player rips the same key for the 15th time that day even after clear instructions on what not to do. "i got this bro" "bro chill i got this".....fail....."sorry" thats ok mate shit happens, repeat, thats ok mate shit happens, repeat, thats ok mate shit happens, repeat, thats ok mate shit happens, repeat... you f&*king imbocile!...log out.
