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 donāt think you are understanding the topic of this post. Would you like to read again?
I donāt 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 donāt matchmake. If you donāt like that, I donāt care. I play how I want to play, and in doing so have proven that gatekeeping gear and engravings is entirely unnecessary. Iām sure that across my entire time playing Iāve had people with obscene pings, didnāt bother me any, in fact I didnāt even notice because I donāt care if someone dies.
And no, Iām 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 donāt 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 donāt play Glavier and Art now? But itās 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, Iām 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 havenāt answer your illogical point.
A lot of words said, with no meaning. Tsk tsk
I did answer, just went over your head it seems

Whereās 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?
Thereās a reason matchmaking exits.
That is literally the text book definition of gatekeeping 
Iām sure you accept everyone into your party. Such a good person!
Within reason yes actually.
Why not?
Well then, is it reasonable to reject a person because their ping is soo high that they consistently fail vykasās mech and wipe the party? Is that āevilā or ābadā to gatekeep so that you save the other 7 playerās time and resources?
Depends on the circumstances - could just be a hiccup in their connection. Party composition shouldnāt be based on how good someones connection is 
Party composition shouldnāt be based on how good someones connection is
Thatās your opinion. But I think the majority of players accept another person into their party with the view of this person may actually be good enough to get the job done yes?
So if the personās connection is soo bad that they keep dying and messing up the mech, are they getting the job done?
That is your view, it is just wrong, but that is your view. It seems I actually have to speak between the lines because you are actually incapable of cognitive reasoning.

Gatekeeping gear and engravings make 0 sense to me, and will always make 0 sense to me until there are hard DPS checks in the game. Inferno Valtan was the first one. This I believe should only be done with a static, as you can confirm that people you are going with have the same experience you do, and the same understanding that you do. It is a hard fight, so gatekeeping this makes sense, especially in party finder. Anything else in the game currently though? It doesnāt make sense. Gear and Engravings only tell you how much damage a person will take, and how much damage they can do, it does not tell you how good that player is. Seeing as damage is not a problem in either raid, and DPS is not a check in either raid, gatekeeping either of these is useless to you. RL is probably the most hilarious gatekeep I have ever seen in any game. All it does is says: this person plays alts. What the hell does that have to do with skill lol.

I guess in a fringe definition you could call wanting a Glavier and Artillerist gatekeeping, its such a stretch though and you should know this. The reason is very simple: I can go into both Valtan and Vykas without supports if it is faster to do so. Glavier hardcounters ghost phase, it just does, this is inarguable. Infinite counters on one character means all other characters can just DPS the boss without worrying about the ghost. Artillerist is really just to bait grabs with Z and it hardcounters almost all Vykas mechanics while DPSing boss. Both classes make the fights easier, and make party finding faster, there is no reason not to do it in my eyes, and I think everyone should start reserving slots for these two classes. In my eyes with the current content they are more important to survival than supports. You are fine to disagree with my last 2 statements here, I wouldnāt blame you for doing so as those are just my opinions.

Gatekeeping ping is something that will never happen in the game, if they wonāt add a DPS meter, they will never add a ping check.
