it wasn't directed at you, it was using your word choices to make a point about the people who would complain about such things

Hmmm, Monk and pray for good damage or Sin and pray for good healing?

Either way, this isn't going to be a top-tier weekend in RA at least.

You're assuming the people in game know how to win JQ.

This is a big assumption...

That, my friend, is why you TA. More noobs = more glad.

Last weekend, I made 120 glad points in RA w/o synching. There are enough monks go around such that you can actually get good teams and win despite the synch bullshit and even so, good builds can still roll them.

I'm calling BS on that. 120 glad is 600 matches (at 5 wins, a little less with more) and I highly doubt that you got much more than 5-10 at a time, unless you were playing some god-awful TA teams.

If you're not lying, then you need to get a life.

Be ready to break out your rock-paper-scissors hand to determine who will /resign out ^^

And, I'm not entirely sure you could expect people who wouldn't *normally* do RA to suddenly start doing it this weekend- it will be the same crowd that's always there, just larger quantities of people. And I'd imagine there will be enough people syncing in foreign districts that they'll just be fighting each other the entire time rather than random groups from American districts, so if you throw your fate to the wind when you hit the 'enter mission' button, chances are everyone you fight will be in the same boat.

imo, the quality of the average player actually increases during these weekends. I don't know why people say that all the people rushing from pve suck because frankly they don't. From my personal experience while entails loads of hours, they're just smart enough to realize that ra isn't fun and do something more productive with their time, like ENJOYING THEMSELVES.

Going to have to give this a shot, rather than working on titles.
