THE ELITISTS IN THIS GAME ARE TERRIBLE (BOTH PvE AND PvP)

seriously, there are v16 elitists that will use the dungeon finder to find a group, and then when they get the group if they see they're playing with lower vet ranks they immediately leave.

and in pvp, i was able to instantly find a group in the non-vet pvp lobby. it was just type "lfg" in zone chat and you got a group. now since i'm a vet rank when i go into a pvp lobby and type "lfg" i never find a group. i even call the elitists out on it like "hrey cmon elitists can i joinz a group???" and they reply "lol, no. git gud" and stuff like that. so i know it isn't just a lack of groups in pvp, but purposeful exclusion. opinions.

    Right because people looking for group members their own level are elitists, get over it. If you dont like people leaving your group get max vet already.

    MMOs bring tiers of content. End level players don't always like to carry low level players or carry bad players through content. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

    Blame the poor design for it, not the players. If this upsets low level players so much are plenty of SP games out there.

    PVP can be easily explained.

    Guilds don't pick up lfg pugs. Find the pug group and run with them, they'll usually advertise and you type their inv string.

    As for PVE, depends what those V16's what. If they're up for a quick run, they'll prob leave group till they find one with 3 other V16s. If it's a vet dungeon I totally get that.

    Exactly. They make it so there's no point anymore to being any level other then the level cap. If you're not maxed then you're useless. That's a crap mentality in a video game meant to be fun.

    Yeah, that's because the dungeons will scale to V16, and if you're trying to run V16 vet dungeons as a non-v16, you're going to get smeared across the walls unless you are really good.

    That said, if you're wanting to run vet dungeons, your best bet is actually getting into a guild, and running with them, rather than slogging through PUGs.

    Yeah, calling them "elitists" is probably what brought out the trolls. Just say, "lfg" next time, without insulting people. It goes a long way.

    In vet you have to kind of prove yourself, or wait for guilds to have "pug night". I'd say "follow" a guild around, try not mess up any ult bombs they are doing and rez rez rez. Be social in zone (call out enemies when seen, a keep/resource flagged etc.), try not to call them elitist lol and then after maybe a cycle or two (depending on campaign) then if you lfg in zone you might get picked up.

    It really shouldn't be this way, guilds/groups should grab whoever and then if they don't live up to some expectation then they'll get kicked from group but... it's not this way. Prove yourself and you should be just fine.

    Um... YOU are leveled up to VR16 as well, you know. Everyone is with the random dungeon finder. Mind you, skills and abilities are not unlocked for you, and your gear still remains whatever level it normally is. That being said, I've managed to clear out those battle-leveled dungeons on VR1-VR7 characters with no problems at all.

    Unless someone really has no idea what they're doing (and I have seen VR16 healers who just spam rapid regen and stand around wondering why people are dying saying 'we need to rez faster!') then there's no reason at all to leave the group. Just today I got a group on my VR8 stamplar with a V3, V16, and a level 11 tank. We cleared it with zero deaths and the tank was better than many VR tanks I come across.

    So while I don't fully agree with the OP's attitude, I will say that calling those people 'elitists' is absolutely warranted, and accurate in many cases.

    Not sure what you're trying to achieve by posting this but I enjoy playing with low vet ranks myself due to the dungeon scale etc, but just because people leave doesn't make them elitist maybe it's not SCALED to get 16? Maybe they don't want to run that specific dungeon? You can't just assume people are elitist right off the bat.

    That's usually what the players who bail on PUGs are worried about. Well, that and being unwilling to take the time to walk new players through the dungeon.

    It's also common with players who don't understand how scaling works, and thinks they're being hobbled. In which case, they're not actually elitists, they're just as ignorant of the game systems as the people they're trying to avoid.

    Yeah, there absolutely are elitists in the game. And they are a real problem. I'm just not sure this specific example is one of the cases where they're screwing things up for anyone.

    The Pve players are probably looking to run the dungeon with others their level. Elitists are generally not in the group finder. They have groups they run with to do what they need to do. Odds are, the players that drop are not elitists.

    As for pvp, join a guild. People in guilds don't pick up pugs for a few reasons. One is spies. Another is that pugs generally don't follow orders and can cause a headache for the group. It 8s not necessarily that they are elittists, as much as it is the lack of discipline generally associated with pugs. Many guilds accept all players. Simply joining one will solve your issues.ya sure thereally are elitexpected pvp guilds that have a process in orDer to join, bur there are just aa many guilds that accept all whi ask or show a willingness to join. .

    So you choose not to be social and join a guild, and ZoS says to you "don't worry i'll give you an automated tool to find groups with!" where it takes 0 effort to find a group. Then you're mad that, when not having to join a guild to run group content, players choose not to run with you.

    Sounds like a much different problem than any supposed elitists, I would argue this is a matter of player entitlement.

    I just thought of something, the dungeon runs, are you using the random dungeon finder? If so, I've left a few groups using that tool until I get a dungeon I want/need to complete.

    If you're going the random route, this is possibly why they're leaving.

    True, but for necessary content (and anything that might be disrupting gameplay) guilds are still the absolute go-to.

    I can understand not wanting to run a specific dungeon. I swear the 'random' dungeon finder gives me WGT at least half the time I use it, and I am getting tired of it. It's gotten to the point where I do not even bother trying to run them (even the regular version) unless everyone is at least VR1. But that's not an attempt to be elitist. Rather it's that I think those dungeons shouldn't even be in the random regular listing to begin with. They were simply made for characters with more than the most basic of skills and gear. I'm not assuming that the players don't know what they're doing, but rather I'm wary that the dungeon isn't quite as accessible to them as the dungeon finder may believe it is.

    I don't fault the lower levels there; but the thing is I'll explain that to them before I leave. I'll give them a heads-up that those dungeons are on essentially a whole other tier of difficulty from the base game regular dungeons. If you have a good reason for leaving other than 'Ugh non-vet pugs when I chose to use the random non-vet dungeon finder.' I'm all with you. But actually, you know, say something to the group. Don't just leave. Let them know, "Hey, sorry, but I've run this dungeon like 7 times in the past 3 days and I'd really rather not again. I hope you guys get a replacement quick and good luck!" or "Hey, I'm sorry, but this dungeon is designed for much higher levels than we all have here and I don't have the time to help out with it all. But good luck if you choose to run it!"

    And as for 'scaled to get 16' (I'm guessing here that you mean getting VR16 loot drops, I think?) it is, actually, scaled to drop the loot at your level. It's one of the nice things about the battle-leveling. Everyone gets loot at their own level (or at least a chance for it in a VR16's case since the game loves to give VR16s VR14 gear half the time even without battle-scaling).

    I'm sorry, but if you're leaving a group just because you think they might not know what they're doing without even engaging the first enemy (or even just getting a look at their gear) then you are an elitist.

    "They are not VR16 and therefore they can't have any idea what they're doing at all; and, because I am VR16, I clearly can make that judgement call."

    In the end, you can do as you like with the game you bought and may well still be paying for, but that won't stop me from calling you can elitist if you act like one. Just know that it sure wouldn't help the PvE community much if everyone were to suddenly think like you do. There are jerks online. I can accept that. Doesn't mean I can't call them jerks.

    what you people are not getting is in both PvP and PvE instances you are scaled to the level of the area. when you use the random dungeon finder everyone below v16 is scaled up to v16. my problem is the v16 people leaving because they feel like they're higher skill than you and need to play with other v16s to clear the dungeon. same for PvP. they assume if you're not a v16 like them, then you're not skilled enough to play with them. they will immediately leave your group when using the random dungeon finder, and exclude you from groups with them in PvP. it has nothing to do with being strong enough for the area because everyone scales up to the instances area anyway.

    that's you're fault for not queuing in the specific dungeon finder. it's made specifically for that. i understand your position in wanting to reap the rewards of the random dungeon while getting whatever dungeon you need to get done, done. but it irritates people who just want to do a random dungeon and don't care which one it is when you leave because you want to do a specific dungeon.

    no, it gets much more complicated than that. i've tried to find PvP guilds, but some pvp guild are so elitist they won't even invite you unless you're v16. and you shouldn't have to be v16 and have all gold max gear just to find a group anyway.

    True, but elitists are likely not joining group finder. And 8f they are they know exactly what they are getting in to and likely will take what they get. They are not in group finder to find a solid group to run with, but to help out new players or perhaps look for a new challenge to a dungeon they ran 100 times. Odds are an elitist is only running a dungeon because they are doing daily in which case they will generally have a group or two they run with systematically, especially gold key. Or, to farm it for helms in which case they are also not using the group finder because they are looking for speed runs.

    Bottom line is, the players that leave, likely are not elitist. Elitist don't need no stinking group finder :)

    There are harder dungeons, the imperial city ones. They have a dps check, unless you kill stuff fast you are overwhelmed by adds or the npc enrages and 1shots everything.

    Many V16`s fail there so most won`t even consider a lower VR. I have never ever seen a low VR group pass and i healed a few, they just don`t have the dps.

    Due to that even if i`m on a lower VR healer i check the dps on the first pack/boss, if its not enough i say and go. Most of the time if one dps or the tank already did the dungeon they can see its not enough and also say something similar.

    The other veteran dungeons can be completed by any VR and such so no issues there, but for the Imperial cit dungeons you either get a decent group or don`t go.

    Yea my bad I meant vet 16 auto correct :lol: and as I said I enjoy playing with low vet ranks if that wasnt aimed at me my apologies, I see what you mean as well if they have SCALED the loot then good, usually when I do group finder its always set to vet 16.

    It's not the nicest thing to do, but sometimes we'll leave or kick another player gotten through group finder because we are trying to use it to scale a friend. You can trigger the GFT and then invite other players. At times a random will get picked up beforeyou can invite someone. It doesn't mean we're elitist, just that we didn't actually intend on picking up a random.

    They need to place a timer, if you leave before the first pack is attacked when a group is full you can`t rejoin the queue for 30 minutes or until that dungeon is left by everyone or completed. That would keep people from doing what you are doing as in ruining it for everyone.

    There's actually a something going on (even acknowledged on last ESO Live) that makes having 3 and doing the random daily take any extended time (30mins or more) to find a 4th sometimes. I find it hard to believe many people would leave just to re-que and wait that long again.

    you are being scaled to V16 stats only, not the skills/passives/armor that you have available at V16. Having said this, I have seen lower level chars perform flawlessly in dungeons, so it is kinda relative. Peace y'all.
