might eb that someone suggested this before, but didnt have time to check it... anyway, my suggestion is this:

as we all know, most of players who dont have at least rank 3 in HA cant get team there, or are having big difficulties in finding one... reason why it is so hard is that those who are ranked dont trust them, as they have no HA title to prove their abilities, and fact that you cant even wear title of rank1 and 2 makes things even worse... if we could at least wear it(no need for emote), would be way easier to find a team, as others will see u actualy have some exp(u got to rank 1 or 2) and imo will make finding a group WAY easier...

just let us wear rank 1&2 title, will make life of many players easier imo...


wanna hear opinions of other ppl about this idea...

this will not help I have seen many r6+ ppls turned away from groups Rank is for show and even after you get r3 the groups will be just as hard to find your best bet is to find a HA guild. Pugs lack leadership even a highrank pug group is still a pug. (HA is dead) this weekend will bost it a bit instead of 1-3 dist we will have 4-8 dists.

Your best course of action is a daily HA guild or just put up with all the crap and lf pugs.

mhm, well, im leader of pve guild atm, but also like some HA from time to time... and why are rank 1&2 actualy titles if you cant wear them? and im pretty much sure its easier to find group as if you can show others you have some title which will prove you are not total newbie to HA...

im r7, and gonna be going in w/ some amtes and some hyper-overpowerd build i made up but even so, w/o mates its hard to find a team who doesnt suck or leave after 2 runs.

below r3's can get teams, they are called zergway or sway

if u take the r1&2 titles with that attitude what about the Sunspear ones (is it lvl 5 until u canwear them)

cos it certrainly aint r1 or r2 sunsp

also if u want fame, just go and run zergway tonight, ull never be liked cos zergway is considered the nubbiest build around and any team with half a brain can beat it but... many districts, many teams...

That's the exact elitist bullshit attitude that everyone dislikes.

^ the man is speaking the truth about it no matter how much a a elitist attitude you think it is. Most groups fall apart after the first to second round, and as for running zergway go for it man I bet my life that dobermann runs zergway when he gets bored or no one is online. we all have seen this (r6+Iway lf 1 r6+ ss PM or self invite TITLE UP) or better yet (r9+Iway lf r9+ charger and SoP Self invite TITLE UP) so dont think to much about the high rank and low rank look for people who understand the play style of HA and can adapt after each round to the other team build no matter how much of a gimmick it is.

i been doing GW for 2 years, and alot of that is high end pvp.

now come on, seriously, is it that hard to get 180 fame? i mean, really? they got pug builds that take no coordination, just spam skills. i mean, wow....its not like the mechicans is asking you to beat [dR] in Relic Running, they are just asking you to not suck as bad as the other team in UW. even if that means 180 times, but for the next 3 days, just dont suck as bad for 90 games. sure its grind, but you guys simply grind 50k pts in other titles and think its easy, and have your own special builds. fame was much harder to get back in 05, better players, higher skill, more build wars. now its simply build wars without the skill. anyone can get 180 in a week, good or bad, rank 10 or rank1. just a matter of how much farming you want to do. and if you cant put up your UW ecto farms for 3 days to farm a emote, then maybe you shouldnt have one.

Nowadays, people who actually call them HAers and are under...Rank 7-8ish are most likely pretty bad. I was amazed to go back to HA one day and see how incredibly bad people around rank six and under really are.

Honestly, just gimmick yourself up to a higher rank because lemme tell you a little secret..Nobody is going to care. HA rarely creates good players anyways.

Too many Kitten Avatars, I feel all warm and fuzzy now.

Anyway, less "WHAAAAA" and more "DO" will get you fame, I got to r3 WITHOUT a HA guild, then got to r5 with a PvP guild. PUGed my ass off at the start, but if you want it, you have to go get it. Coming to Guru to ask about making it easier is not going to help.

Your a leader of a guild right? Then why ya PUGIn? Do a little OBS, learn some builds and tell your peoples, "Guess what folks, guild event, We goin HA" Hand out builds to those that wanna go and roll. No, your not gonna win halls, but you will get fame and faction.

Plenty of unranked IWAYs last I checked. Probably won't get any incredible fame but if all your doing it for is r3, then you don't really need it.

Technically no. Since the poster suggested suggested it before the response was given, the act had already occured, thus giving it a past tense format. The past tense of the word "drag" is "drug".

Look it up :P

And relic runs in HoH are ghey. After 2-3 of them, you usually get some no named scrub team that has no clue as to what to really do, they see a guild they recognize and do nothing but attack them the entire time and don't run relics of their own....

This thread is now about whether the past tense of drag is dragged or drug.

My vote goes to dragged.

Aww... We're sorry but you missed the grand prize. We thank you for playing the game and do hope that we will see you again. You're consolation prize is a big thank you from the audience but unfortunately you didn't make it to the $25,000 question, so therefore you leave the game with nothing.

Why's the phrase "look what the cat dragged in" and not "look what the cat drug in" then?

technically I have heard it both ways and it is listed as both ways.

I would suggest that you do a google search and you'll find it listed as both ways. Also you need a better image as since the word "dragged" in your picture is not listed as a past tense of the word "drag" but rather a transitive verb, thus implying action being taken, not a previous action.

Yeah, but I was lazy. Meh. They're both acceptable, one's just less formal.

So... that attempt to improve the thread has fizzled. Where'd Alex go? <_<

Umm... I'd have to disagree. The difference between American Districts Randomway Byob (TradeMark) is different from a r4 (especially if it's with a decent pvp guild, even if it's a gvg guild, and not an ha guild) heroway or something.

Ok, fine.

r2-r5 is essentially the same thing.

No joke, they're all generally the same skill level.

R1 is the product of an hour.

Not sure on this idea.
I think it might cause MORE rank discrimination.

Besides: isnt a double fame weekend enough to get R3 fast?

lol, spent like 7-8 hours today and yesterday(double fame) for Iway and what i got from it? 40 fame -.- would be 20 fame in normal way... this weekend is not best chance to get fame as all the best HA teams/guilds are playing and u usualy get one of them... while u as low rank get noobs in team...

and if they add r1&r2 as wearable title, its will not make r3 easier to obtain, it will just show others u are not newbie to HA(r0), but that u still got some skill... i know that when i play something, i take some time and practive build, and im sure i usualy play better than some higher ranked ppl(played paragon for 1st time in my life, didnt die, saved few ppl from dieing...), but not helping me, as i dont have anything to show... is it so wrong if ppl could show rank1 + rank2? i bet that al the comments above are from ppl r3+, and they would only disslike it coz they didnt have chance to show it before r3...

So, um, if you don't want us to run zergway but you don't want us to run anything else, then what do you want us to do, [censored]?

Is it any wonder PvE outnumbers PvP? No, it isn't.

...What? All r1/r2 show is that you know what Underworld and maybe a map beyond look like. Skill doesn't have shit to do with it.

I've gotten to halls and held them too, and currently have 99 fame. So no, R1/R2 does NOT mean that we only got a bit of the way.
