    You want me to stop demonizing the raid community? Why don't the raiding community start acting like humans and and offer players like me to have the chance to experience vMOL with other experienced players? Do your community a service by giving other players a chance, and not force them to fork over 3 or 4 million gold for a completion of the trial. Enough of this "Oh you need high CORE dps to do vMOL trials with us"

    In other words you want to get carried because you thought legendary gear will give you dps but it didn't so instead of thinking where the problem is you rather "demonize" people who were stuck trying to complete VMOL in the beginning for 3 months and sitting there like mushrooms in the forest, wiping for hours everyday.

    Your entitlement is so legit you should get a dromathra destroyer as well just for logging in to the game.

    Because I deleted you off PSN and for good reason, turn out you were a two faced scoundrel who only use people for your own benefit and then threw them away when not needed. You got mad and started spreading every bit of false negative things about me to settle it your way, people told me what you did. Treated others poorly who weren't in your little group of elitist and threw a temper tantrum when you didn't get your way. Still see that you play 24/7 wasting your young pathetic life not going to school or no future of getting a career. And acting above others which doesn't sit tight with anyone in the real world.

    In the end I simply was trying to enjoy the game and had my fun on PC, however, the same can not be said on console. There is simply too many childish people on console unfortunately.

    EDIT: Oh, and nice nonsensical sentence, seem like a lack of a proper education.

    Lol I definitely didn't have to say anything about you, you acting like a narcissist in any trials group you joined and blaming others for all of your mistakes was what got you where you are now. Sucks to say without disclosing too much about my life that I am happily going to school, and enjoying the heavy salt from your posts. Since we are taking the blunt approach, for anyone who may be reading this, imagine that loud obnoxious *** in any run screaming at others at every turn when he's the one taking crystal fragments out of his rotation and wiping the team to mechanics. Sadly the real reason you didn't stay on PC is they wouldn't have fallen for your ***, since it's pretty easy to see that the loud angry Argonian Magicka Sorcerer pretending to be the top dps and most knowledgeable god sent player to exist is a little fishy. Thanks for the late night laughs though xD.

    PS, the day you got booted out I didn't have to say a word, you being a complete *** to every person in that entire group over the course of three hours was mostly reason enough for them

    Yup, the endgame PvE community is absolutely terrible and extremely elitist on PS4 NA. And this is coming from a top endgame PvEer from PC NA who was apart of all the #1 PvE guilds at the beginning of PC release before Champion Points. Went to console because of a few good friends and because all the guilds I were in became inactive after champion points were release.

    All my friends on console ended up quitting the game except one, and I was able to start up a solid endgame guild. But as I said I was a PC transfer and people hated me because of what I did in Cyrodil and other very silly rumors. And I have to put up with so much hate mail from PvEers and PvPers alike, its ridiculous and got really old. Ended up quitting because the community was shutting me out of endgame group content because of a few jerks who spread false rumors about me. On PC I was really well respected and did thousand of trials run and progression to help other groups out, but on console can't even get a trial invite because people believe what a few say about me within there circle of elitism. Also my guild got world first completion SO, HM Hel ra, AA, and Hel ra, even won a PvE tournament hosted by Zenimax on PC. Was in Entropy Rising, Last Prodigies, Purple, and etc. Had a lot of fun running trials on PC, but on console just miserably everywhere with anyone really.

    So it's a major problem on console or maybe just PS4 in general, never had any problems on PC with endgame at all. It just people who aren't even good at all most of the time who simply get in because they kiss ass so much. Wish I never transfer over to Console because of a few friends that ended up quitting anyway. Biggest mistake ever in gaming that I have done.

    Forgets to mention how above person treated people to be treated in listed ways

    Lists ways he was treated and has no explanation as to why he was treated in these ways because if said explanation was given there would be less sympathy to above essay

    How you received an agree, I have no idea. I can't even decipher what it is you're talking about. Above person treated people to be treated in listed ways? What? Dude... I hate to be "that guy", but grammar and punctuation are your friend. And I make NUMEROUS grammatical errors on a regular basis, but damn. That post had me all messed up.

    Are we seriously at a point on the forums where we handout agrees and awesomes to things that don't even make sense, and are half-written? Really guys? I understand a handful or so of you dislike me, and will go against whatever I post regardless of its basis. But damn.

    I was speaking very directly to him, and was somewhat trying to politely remind him why he was removed for being a complete *** to multiple communities, wasn't really worried about being articulate in the process. Titansbane is basically the guy who cries on the big rock in Rawlkha all day. I see why you like him so much, he cries in Rawlkha about nothing all day and you cry on the forums about nothing all day xD.

    This is what happens when you give the most powerful gear as a reward for the most challenging content. Players could ALREADY BEAT the hardest content before they got the best gear. Now with the best gear they clamor for harder content. It's a negative feedback loop. They demand harder content from Zos and demand better gear as a reward. Round and round we go.

    And when Zos doesn't give them harder content, or until they do, they start demanding 10 minute runs. 8 minute runs. 5 minute runs!

    Hurry Hurry Hurry Better Better Go Go Rahhh Rahhh!

    Successful games reward top tier content with visual rewards or utility rewards, not better gear that just makes the elite demand a new tier of difficult content.

    What exactly can you get from vMoL that isnt obtainable in nMoL?
    Golden jewelry is not THAT much more powerful than blue/purple.
    Drop rate isnt any better on vet... Ive beaten vMoL last June (or was it May?), was doing it quite often since then and still dont have sharpened Moondancer destro of any kind or any sword.

    Skin & jewelry.

    Skin doesnt have stats and yellow jewelry is nice to have but its not a gamechanger...

    It was asked what you get. That's what you get. And when you are trying to push DPS to tip top, then yes you want gold jewelry. If you don't want it that's fine. But that's what you get there. Question answered.

    Yeah, but I was replying to your post about power gap that makes trial completion too hard if you dont have vet trial gear. I said, that those things are nice to have but in the end they dont matter that much.
    Even some posts in this thread prove that having golden jewelry doesnt make you op.

    Always trying to twist words, was never booted out from anything. I left KORE because some of you disgust me for what you were becoming after vMOL was release, and I simply lost interest and didn't want to get myself involve with that drama anymore. Get your facts corrected. But keep thinking your entitle and have a right to belittling others on a video game. Other then that, you're just simply wasted space on this planet when you convene to such small minded ignorance.

    Besides that, a lot of players feel the same way about you too. There are good players who are humble and then there's elitist who take the game too seriously, you aren't one to talk. Everyone makes mistakes, including you. However, you blame everyone but yourself. I very well know this about you especially when you stated that you wanted to blacklist everyone that wasn't at the top already from endgame, never giving newer players a chance. Though I could care less, however, I no longer wanted to speak to you any longer.
    So I deleted you from my friends list, maybe it hurt your feelings, but having that type of attitude towards other wasn't pleasant.

    The only thing that you spoke that was truthful was my criticisms which is a bad habit of mine especially on Newer players. Especially when you are very competitive in multiple games across different genres. However, being around toxicity for most of the time. Nah, I'm good on that. I simply left on my own terms because it became more of a chore without any sort of competition being involve or money. However, you took it too far instead of just leaving it there.

    You speak mostly lies about me and spread negative influential rumors about me, because I deleted you, and for what? A vendetta against the big bad nonexistent wolf. In the end this is just typical online drama that I simply don't want to be apart of.

    And leaving PC was my decision and my friends trying to convince me to jump on broad. At first console wasn't bad but it takes time for a community to developed. Mostly because a lot of players started quitting and many guilds became inactive during patch 1.6.

    In the end its a game, and a lot people take things to far and personal.

    Most of you will never find real elitism in this game, so why are you so concerned over it? Only progression raiders should worry over elitism, because they are the ones who get affected by it the most. Or you guys think that going trough a filtering process when trying to join a guild is elitism? Then i think there is a misunderstanding, when it comes to the meaning of the word elitism. You wouldn't call the guy at a job interview elitist, because you weren't qualified for the job, right? Being a progression raider means that you can handle elitism, and you won't break under it. The horror stories i could share... i heard people crying on voicechat, because they got kicked from a raidteam, based on like two weeks of underperforming. And they cried, because they worked hard to get in to that guild, to that spot, but there were 15-20 new, skilled and qualified players applying for the same spot every week, or in some guilds DAILY, so they had to perform at a level to convince the raidlead that they are better than those new applicants. Or would you be that guy, who has to tell that person that you cannot play anymore with your friends in this group, cause we have to look at whats best for the guild? You really think that handling that pressure is the same as not grouping up with someone, because i dunno...they have a funny look on their face? As i said before, it's a choice... you stay casual or go tryhard. Nobody will think different of you, no matter what you choose, but once you picked one... live with it. Stop trying to justify your decisions or convincing yourself and others that you made the right choice when you feel insecure.... cause nobody cares really :D Calling people no-lifer, nerds just because they chose to take things more seriously is just a way to cope with your own insecurity, after you didn't made that choice. You say that people wasting their time in this game, yet you would do anything, cry, complain, even cheat to get the same titles and skins they got... anything but getting better at the game.

    TL'DR: If somebody calls you trash in a dungeon crawl, thats not elitism... thats just the internet.

    @MokiDono What are you even talking about? Its not about whether you're good or not or even having the time to commit to something that takes months to achieved. Its simply how you treat another individual and getting hostility is not enjoyable or something to guff at.

    On PC I was able to accomplish all endgame task and be at the top of the leader boards and it was very competitive and fun. Helping other guilds that were running progression runs is something that I enjoy often. Here, its just the same and only guild that are at the top, or running. No competition. And charge players for ridiculous amount of gold instead of a helping hand to others with progression runs. Oh, and just the sheer amount of stupidity for a 99% causal game.

    Agree 100%, unfortunately it can be a bad habit. Especially on the internet where someone is simply irreverent to your life.

    I only meant to post one thing in this thread to clarify what the original poster of this thread said is sadly true now on console.

    I dont know about the situation in console community, but how exactly a single guild could usurp vMoL? If there's no other guilds, but a lot of people want to finish vMoL, they can just cooperate instead of paying.
    vMoL was released a while ago, all tactics/builds/etc are available for everyone for free. You just need to put some effort in it, and skin and title will be yours. Its not like that one "elitist" guild can stop you.

    Sounds like you just haven't found the right guild.
    DPS tests are somewhat necessary so 11 other ppl don't waste time cause 1 guy can't put out enough dps.
    Having specific ppl wear specific sets is as well. Helps the entire group. Don't forget you're on a team.

    "being as how I do often speak of preferring solo play and being on my own?"
    Doesn't surprise me that a person with that attitude is having a hard time working with a team.

    For most of the players, ESO is their first MMO. So they have no real grasp on how competitive, or progressive endgame works. If you come from an other MMO, you already know what you are looking for. Also, the lack of competitive endgame is Zenimaxes fault as well. This game is engineered in a way that it causes players to burn out, really fast. Leaderboard is a fun addition, and a step towards proper endgame, but without any lockout or limitations, you just grind and grind away, until you had enough. There are other ways to spread out content and keep them relevant, healthier solutions. The lack of gear progression is also a contributing factor. Also, the MMORPG as a genre is evolving (more like dissolving) and they set their focus on the single player, individual user focused content, simply because it earns more money, and requires less effort to balance. So they stopped promoting the whole group based end game approach of the games. Sure, a new trial here and there spices things up, but it's not gonna be enough in the grand scheme of things. You have to keep the flames going, when there are no major release plans in the near future.

    Don't get me wrong, ESO has a lot of good, unique ideas in it's design, but there are fields where other MMO's were smarter. Unfortunately, those fields are needed to create a truly satisfying and engaging endgame. Ofcourse, you can still do progression and have fun while doing it, but it can get stale, especially during the dry seasons, where there are no releases. But, we also have to understand that progression raiders are a small, tiny fraction of the player base, so expecting full catering always will be silly. Developers know, that balancing, creating challenging content requires more money that it earns for them, so there you go. The sad truth is that we will never gonna see an MMO, which a perfect hybrid of every fields.

    ESO has the potential to become a perfect MMO. Introduce gear progression, and a lockout system, and there you go. The dream MMO.

    So i know it sounds cliché, but to be honest... it was not vMoL, it was ZoS who ruined your pve scene. It's like... sure, people are eating each other in a post apocalyptic world, but... they didn't drop the nukes :D Their action forced you into this situation. But, they are working hard, so... is that enough!?

    It's a wierd game for sure. It turned me into a filthy casual, but on the other hand, i met and i play with players who would do extremely well in other games, while being part of the best progression guild groups there.
    I never understood decisions like removing the fix number of revives from triels. Having a fix number of souls was a good mechanic. Still, quiet lenient, but it was a good step in the progression mentality direction. But they removed it, and people got lazy... sad :D
