Plenty of dps can chose to go healer or tank, can make alts and exchange tank/healer runs with others for their main, exc.
Heroic dungeons are so easy that you heal it with a boomkin healer, tank it with a frost/UH dk, exc. You dont even need to change to a tank or healer spec, just have some of the appropriate gear for it. Yes the run will take longer as the “healer” will likely need a mana break more often, but its very much doable. Its people refusing to do these things that causes what you are cmwrongfully calling gatekeeping.
For a proper definition
the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something.
Noone is stopping you from being a tank or healer, from having a tank or healer alt and trading services, from having a tank or healer off spec, exc. Noone is limiting your access to the dungeons.
The only one gatekeeping you is your personal choices made.
So according to you only people who played the first few weeks of launch should be able to run dungeons got it. Which might not have been possible for some and is impossible for alts now.
Once again noone at character selection even had an option to pick “I want there to be noone to run dungeons with”.
No. I know its hard for you but try reading past the first few words. I gave more than one solution.
If you come late to the game you can look at server population estimates through websites that try to track that data.
You can make friends and play with them.
You can preplan events with people
Exc.
There was a reason the chose a healthy server was right after the play at launch option.
If you cant play at launch you can chose a healthy server still.
If you chose not to play on a healthy server you can still make friends whith those who you can play with, if for some reason you cant make friends you can still coordinate events with people on your server.
it absolutely is. and the fact you’re on a level 10 alt from retail tells me you’re a troll who should be skinned. oh s’cuse me a mutt that should be skinned. it is factually gate keeping there will ALWAYS be more dps than tanks or healers. the ladder is finite dps are not. the fact you don’t understand this tells me again you’re another low iq brainlet.
I have used this character since cata for the forums because that was the first time i realm transfered and learned that realm transfering makes you lose all notifications and post history on the forums.
By using this character i have no risk of this happening to my forum activity again because i womt be name changing or realm transfer this character. I have revealed my classic main to those who ask.
Groups also only require 1 tank and healet per dps for dungeons and multiple dps can chose to tank or heal.
I understand just fine. Do you understand that a dps can also be a tank or healer? Do you understand what an alt is? Do you understand that you are not being gatekept by anyone but your own choices made because YOU can make the group, you can chose to have a non meta group that will still work, but take a little longer, exc.
oh i understand quite well. but you still can’t comprehend it you silly low IQ brainlet. the fact you don’t understand it shows how limited you are. if you can’t understand it then there is no hope for you. even if you refer to alts. its still beyond your mental grasp.
you are so close yet it is so far away from you grasping the full concept. one day, maybe one day you’ll grasp it.
blah blah blah, i am hiding behind retail character.
All you had to do was politely ask to see my classic main and it would be provided. I have not tried to hide it. But you are stuck relying on insults because you dont want an actual discussion, you want an echo chamber.
i mean i don’t even think its a lie at this point i just think he’s low iq at best. he shows how limited the guy is when someone throws an innocent comment out there and he responds to it and missed the entire point of the poster’s comment. went right over his head.
You’re letting him suck you down to his level. In the end, who cares who his alts are. I was merely offering some info. He’s hardly the first anti-rdf troll to post on multiple characters. And at this point why would anyone take anything he says seriously?
He’s just here to bait people, and I grudgingly acknowledge he does that very well.
Guys, whether you agree with Red or not, these are actually very relevant statements. It’s the reason I use my old Retail main for all forum activity as opposed to my Classic one(s) even though I predominately play Classic. I’m sure there’s many others out there that do the same, especially after the implementation of trust levels.
