Unrealistic Difficulty!!!!

oh so video games=real life? Apparently, as you can see the myriad of children that seem to have posted in this thread over the last many pages.


But anyway, first things first. Why does anyone feel like they need to come on a thread and defend an aspect of this game. Really, for argument's sake let's say Tabasco is a complete idiot who has never PvPed a second in his life. Who the frig cares one whit about what he believes PvP to be in that case? If he's an idiot, why justify anything he says with any response in these forums at all?

Does his belief affect your gameplay?
No

Will others believe what he says and take the same point of view?
Probably, but as one PvPer said here, less than 25% of the players are really any skilled at it, so I assume they won't be included. Of the others, I again state so friggin' what? Let them believe and say whatever they want - it will never affect how you, I, or anyone else plays this game. In that case, I take the stand of not wasting my time or valuable forum space with inane responses and flames that get us nowhere.

If Tabasco came in with his next post and said the sky was purple and all PvPers suck because of it - how many of you would feel the compulsion to pop on and waste more forum space telling him he's an idiot and he's wrong? Quite frankly, I don't give a darn what color he thinks the sky is or how it relates to PvP skill. It still DOESN'T CHANGE HOW I AM PLAYING THE DARN GAME.

With that being said (sorry Tabasco to use you as the example), why don't we try to actually be contructive here and analyze what the real problem is. A previous poster indicated that the "you suck" flames and such are warrented based on OP's initial post. That's a pretty asinine attitude. Why don't we instead take a look at why he posted, and if it has any value in regards to the game, which I think it does. Clearly this is a rage post (I know I have been guilty of the same on occassion), so let's take that for what it is, but also realize that the OP does indeed have a point.

I'm not going to repeat my previous views here, yall will just have to wade through your myriad of wasted spaced posts to go back and take a look, but let's remember, this game (outside of PvP, Elite areas, and HM) is supposed to be designed for the casual player. As other, more level-headed and useful posts pointed out here, not all areas of Normal Mode seems geared that way. Build Experimentation is not suited to a casual player, so telling someone to find another build to use for his character is not an option. So let's find a suitable solution that Anet can use to bring this game back to its roots. I have posted my suggestions, and one other person diagrees with me. We have since then had an intelligent and flame retardant debate on the matter as a means to hash out a workable idea that Anet can institute in the game.

I still believe my changes to the combat system, and changes to creature AI (posted several months ago in another thread) would solve not only the OP's issue, but several other ongoing issues in GW. So let's actually get back some having a useful debate on this thread - anyone up for the challenge, or should I find a more intelligent arena to enter for this issue?

Truth * Knowledge * Peace These walls of text are really obnoxious to read.
The best writing is the most concise, truth be told.

All that some of us pvpers have been saying is that PvP will teach you better knowledge of the game.

Furthermore, we have all agreed that this game is build wars. This is established fact. Stop debating the nuances of this or attempt to subvert this by introducing some non-existant childish notion of serious desire to role-playing as high importance.

I don't care that your smiting hammer warrior can't kill magni the bison. You should just get a good build, and role-play where it's convenient.

Or, alternatively, you could stop sucking at the game at get a decent build. NM PvE isn't hard by any stretch of the imagination.
