Or you know, I am using sims to find what build that I like does more dps.
If a build I dont like does more dps, I IGNORE THAT SIM just like i IGNORE THE META SLAVES
And I am even doing it rn now, I would probably have around 3-4k dps if I use different gems, trinket and corruption and talents yet I am not doing that because I dont like those builds : )
I know, hard to imagine someone doing that, imagine putting your enjoyment and personal build above meta slave min maxing xD
Actually a lot of people following meta actually make that kind of choice, losing a couple hundred or thousands dps might actually perform better in situations where you canât really dps like the sim is doing. Which is not moving at all with no mechanics to dodge. Youâre actually being super-meta here.
Also to clear it out, Ralph ignores me because he doesnât like logic. Itâs all about his personnal war with min/maxers. If youâre a min/maxer youâre wrong and should feel bad about yourself and quit having fun the way youâre having fun.
Sad thing it means he canât counter also what I said. So heâs just making a fool of himself more
But you gotta give it up for the man, so much determination to make the game worse for others. When he could simply play like heâs playing and let min/maxers play like they want to play.
Which is why people use logs, basicly trial and errors to find the best stuff. But sims can make some choices more obvious if the difference is too great. They can this way reduce the amount of trial and errors.
Look dude. You know what my point is. Eventually, you are going to reach a point where the content you can do is restricted by the concessions you make for the sake of fun/appearance. I wonder if the fact that your guild hasnât successfully cleared the raid on a difficulty above normal has anything to do with the fact that they accept sub-par players
But hey dude. At least they arenât slaves to the meta amirite?
At this point you are dense, or trolling, so Iâm out homes.
Yup.That what i do i donât follow the elitists ,I may look at it but I wouldnât follow it because they are set on a different standard than a player starting out or leveling their gear at a certain time.
The thing is once it has been tested, you could do your own test or just follow the guide of someone you trust. We do this all the time when we learn at school and read books. Thereâs nothing wrong with it. Itâs not elitists to say that some knowledge is valid.
The problem, which Ralph has explained before is people not understanding why they do this, why they follow other people and just repeating the words without understanding the proof. But that doesnât mean youâre an elitist if you do that, elitism is a concept totally different than most of the time what people use it on the forums.
Being an elitist is only believing that an elite exist and that elite is better than non-elite. Youâre not an elitist for wanting to check the CV of someone before recruiting him. Youâre just a normal human that likes to base his decisions on facts. Someone without the right tool or the right experience is a risk, while some risk can be good. Too much risk is wanting for a problem to happen.
imagine thinking retail is an rpg in any sense of the word (abbrev should i say) theres no âplayer agencyâ in retail at all. Classes are hardly unique anymore.
I honestly have to agree for the most part. Itâs about on par as something like Fallout 4 where itâs more action based and has less RPG elements and actual choices, and more straightforward and linear.
While i did took his argument and flipped it around to show his general idea heâs trying to push out people because they like something that Ralph disliked is silly, because WoW caters to both audiences, just like how it does for both PvE and PvP⊠i do genuinely believe that WoW as an RPG, isnât all that great now-a-days, and i highly doubt Shadowlands will knock it out of the park.
But if it does, then iâl be pleasantly surprised.
Now do i want RPG fans to play another RPG that isnât WoW? No. I donât have the power to take that away from them. They can do whatever they want along their happy with it. People can like WoW for a multitude of reasons, that being the lore, story, characters, maybe even the weak RPG elements.
So it is a judgement if the said group doesnât like the risk they would set standards and one of them is builds .If a person has a different build that works well enough for example,a raid and had proven to finish it but is different than the common build ,what then? More like would be rejected to even try ,is this elitism? the person left out would see it so even when it may not be.
You canât design a game, attempt to legitimately push esports into both pve and pvp aspects of said game, and then completely forego balance for the sake of âmuh spirit of the r p gâ, theyâre completely contradictory design standpoints. World of Warcraft has an esports scene. kekw it all you want but itâs there, and there are people who take it seriously. Shadowlands covenants directly contradict that entire aspect of the game.
You literally cannot design an MMO to cater to both crowds simultaneously, itâs not possible.
To have a proof exist you need more than one paper, you need an accumulation of people agreeing with all of them having figured out the same facts.
If a spoon can work âwell enoughâ to push a nail in, doesnât mean that I should recruit someone nailing nails with a spoon for a big construction project. No Iâm gonna use power tools and make people use power tools, because that construction project is also about time and efficiency.
That there is only if the proof is accurate to begin with no matter how much data you receive if it is false to beginning with it wouldnât work at all. I have read ,even followed the requirements stats for raiding so many time in wh and icyveins that these standard fail every time especially when the ones doing them were not even of the spec nor the class. Itâs more like hit the nail with a bunch of flowers.
