Good players are those that love to grind and only do that deffo...
j/k

imo good players are those who are willing to help out people occasionally and who offer a friendly piece of advice now and then (NOT "pro tips"!!! or there is a build on PvX for that retard!) and as mentioned many times before those who know the game and mostly the skills

and in the end most importantly those who think outside of the box

Lol'd so damn hard. The RA sync title is a way to recognize skill? I hope that was just a bad joke.


A good player has to understand why skills work well, and not just copy paste from wiki. I'm not saying you can't copy paste from wiki, but there needs to be an understanding of why that build is the best for the situation etc.

In your opinion, what makes someone good?
Is it the wealth they have?
Is it the knowledge and wisdom?
Is it the items they have?
Perhaps the titles they have earned?

I want to hear from YOU, which is most important to you and why feel free to rank them and discuss!

The second one. Those other three are things come as an effect of actually knowing the game.
I respect players who do research before asking so many questions.
I know this one guy, met him when he was just on GW for a week. A month later, he's got 6 characters at 20, one with ancient armor, one with elite gladiator's armor, and some more with the mid-range priced armor. Even I wasn't able to do that in my early days.
He wasn't an idiot. He quickly learned how to play the damn game.
