i wanna be able to play even with 0 engraving if i like to do so.
i don’t want to get harassed almost every game for what i do or how i play.
3 engraving, 4 engraving, what class, what gems
it seems that is never enough anyway.
the verbal abuse has to stop.
excessive difficulty =/= wanting to play the game like a vegetable on purpose
Welcome to MMO’s if you dont want to be gatekept or judged, make friends of likeminded people or go back to whatever genre you played that didnt do this, but i dont recall of any game that will not do this.
Wow gatekeeps by io score, parsing, pvp achivements and rating.
OSRS gatekeeps by kill count and gear.
League gatekeeps by ranking and champion mastery.
Sorry but thats just how games are now and its toxic and no game will ever change this mentality of players.
Turn off all chat bubble, turn of all chat channel, ez…
u dont need to play this game u could go everywhere else instead
Engravings, ilvls, gems etc are parts of the game,really feels like you’re playing mario and saying:
“i don’t wanna jump”
I‘m getting since ±4 weeks hate whispers on almost daily basis multiple times, not sure how often I got reported for having an higher ilvl which I got because I was lucky af… But I‘m still here… Just sitting in stronghold, can’t visit my beloved punika.
Privacy settings are fucked. That’s why I‘m here in forums. To fight for better privacy
Is this a joke? WoW lfr is good if you don’t want to learn or do anything really
Transation - Im bad at the game and want to sandbag without people saying anything about it. 
If you want to run content with 0 engravings then pay someone to carry you. The will be the nicest people you ever meet. 
You are able to do what you want. 0 engravings, no gems, no skill points in skills, no runes., whatever your heart desires. Everyone chooses the way they wanna play themselves, just like other people who choose not to team up with you. The only way I see people commenting on your engravings is if they (engravings) literally make no sense indeed or if you are expecting to be taken for content that you are not ready due to not being properly equipped but somehow expecting to be accepted
No one wants to play with dead weight
This could be a great content if you can stream with other 7 mind-like people doing Valtan with 0 engraving or “not so popular” engraving or even rainbow stat people
Maybe you can find a group of people that are like-minded so you can push content with them instead of people wanting to maximize potential by following strict meta for different classes. This is something you can do within the game already.
I suggest playing support main, can have very little engraving or gem but people will still simp for you
Once you reach the later abyss dungeons, abyss raids, legion raids, then having engravings is necessary if you wish to enter parties via the find party option.
You are always free to stick with your 0 engraving strat, but just do everything solo so you don’t inconvenience others as you are honestly holding everybody back whether it’s matchmaking chaos dungeon, guardian raids, etc.
You’re technically on the grounds of being gameplay hindrance due to your inclination to stick with 0 engravings, wrong/no gems, etc.
you can just play something else instead. maybe single player game like god of war and why are you here? what is the fun when you dont want to follow the flow? so basically you just want to enjoy the storyline by not doing any guardian raid, abyss and legion? that is not abuse man that is just sad to me. mmo game is not for you.
Start your own group of similar people that also like to go in with 0 engravings, or join one. You will almost never get harassed, since well, you’re in your own group.
Just because you refuse to make your character more powerful by using the included mechanics does not mean you are entitled to people playing with you.
It’s your choice to play with 0 engravings. It’s our choice to not want to carry a dead weight with 0 engravings.
4x3 engv costs only 8k for pheons rest gear is almost for free per character… gems on alts keep lvl 5 rest gems move to your main. Where for now you need only lvl 7. Btw good bait.
