Okay, which server and char name are you on? I’ll be sure to let my group of newbie, undergeared friends know to join your party.
If you have really bad pings, your item level and best engravings won’t save you. You will still become a liability to the team.
Answer me something honestly, do you have bad pings?
I’m sitting on a fiber optic 2GB/s connection in Canada. Which means I’m not in the US and I actually get what I pay for. I connect to the closest game server with 30 or less ping depending on if its Chicago or New York. Chicago is generally 12 ping, New York is 20-30 depending on the server capacity at the time. This is speaking purely from PoE servers (because it is the only game where I get blatantly told what ping I have to said server, without changing settings) which everyone who has played it knows it is not the greatest, and LA has better servers.
Again, kick and scream all you want, you will not get what you want.
Once again my ping can be good in every gate. Then at the third gate. of Vikas he starts going crazy how this is problematic
No one is kicking and screaming here, so please stop the projection.
What I just realized about your entire argument is that it doesn’t make sense.
If you just accept anyone into your party, then you don’t need to make a lobby. You can just match make. That way, you don’t need to worry about pings and the game potentially implementing a ping to “gatekeep” liabilities from the team.
Nice try. But no.
And you haven’t provided me your server and char name so that my undergeared friends can join you. We will record this session and post it live on youtube for views to see how your raids go.
well guys it was fun while it lasted. seems after getting my hyperinflated accessories, now i need to immigrate to server location to play. shit keeps getting expensive yo
I don’t think you are understanding the topic of this post. Would you like to read again?
I don’t matchmake because I cannot guarantee a Glavier and Artillerist, both of which make these 2 legion raids incredibly easy as Glavier has infinite counters and Artillerist just ignores mechanics entirely while dishing out DPS. I do not go in without a Glavier and an Artillerist. This is the only reason I don’t matchmake. If you don’t like that, I don’t care. I play how I want to play, and in doing so have proven that gatekeeping gear and engravings is entirely unnecessary. I’m sure that across my entire time playing I’ve had people with obscene pings, didn’t bother me any, in fact I didn’t even notice because I don’t care if someone dies.
And no, I’m not going to provide you with any information on my character and server, I have no reason to, I play my own game. Your issue is that you believe anyone who disagrees with you has something to prove to you. News flash, I don’t have to prove anything to you. Your opinion of me does not matter to me.
Again kick and scream and attack people all you want, you are not getting what you want.
Lmao come to Canada, internet stable here unless Rogers having a meltdown
So you are gatekeeping people who don’t play Glavier and Art now? But it’s not okay for others to gatekeep players who consistently die and mess up mech because of their high ping?
Explain to me how does that make sense?
And no, I’m not going to provide you with any information on my character and server,
We both know you were not being honest here.
Yes it is gatekeeping to reserve a slot for 1 Artillerist and 1 Glavier, totally. You are not the first person in the world to be incapable of understanding the difference between apples and oranges. You are also not the first person incapable of understanding that not everyone is a liar who disagrees with you 
You still haven’t answer your illogical point.
A lot of words said, with no meaning. Tsk tsk
I did answer, just went over your head it seems

Where’s the answer?
there you go, went over your head
Please, from the get-go, I can smell your lies and bs a mile away.
No one in their right mind would ever just randomly accept everyone in a lobby search. So are you lying? Or is something wrong with how you think?
There’s a reason matchmaking exits.
That is literally the text book definition of gatekeeping 
I’m sure you accept everyone into your party. Such a good person!
Within reason yes actually.
Why not?
