this is your typical player who don’t understand cards. You can’t whale on card, blue crystal card people buy with weekly gold income.
Only whaling is monthly card pack which barely gives u any cards (like 2-3 LOS on average which is almost nothing).
Getting LOS 18 guarantee is hard work, these are people who spend 5-6 h weekly doing orehas and vern to yorn card runs. So no its rng but also a big grind over a long time. If you spent 3h a week doing 6 char abyssal dungeon runs since march, then I bet you you would have los 20-22 by now even wtihout spending gold on card packs.
So yea gatekeeping based on how much effort people who put into cards is okay as well
Have you ever seen a Raid getting full in a sec, we talk about 2 man in a 8 man raid, pretty much 5-6 slots open and yet still getting denied, thats the gatekeep not if you apply to an group and its full in a sec, ofc its not gatekeep then.
I mean sure if we apply at the same time and they choose him over me just because of cards, its not gatekeep.
We rather speak from a empty room with let’s say 4 dps spots left, and yet they gatekeep because roster is low, or no LoS18
That isn’t a real time scale. Any group that has 1-2 supports will fill in a matter of minutes. The only time I have ever seen groups sit there forever is because they have no supports. Savvy party leaders nowadays will hold DPS spots open incase a support has friends.
When a group is waiting for the perfect players for a HM Valtan for up to 30 minutes, then you can make an argument about gatekeeping.
Like I said, when 10 people apply for 2 spots, the 8 that didn’t get in weren’t gatekept.
Yeah i get it and we all know thats not gatekeep if someone is just faster.
Just the whole “gatekeep” is meant in a situation like " literally 6 spots left but still actively denied"
And ye my time scale was out of the top, i know a group with alrdy 2 supp in it will be full in no time
First 2-3 people I accept need to be overgear/juiced. Why? Because supports won’t join an ilvl party.
Thus, if I can get the first 1-2 juiced, other juicer apply/non-juicer then I can accept a few non-juicer into party. That way you see 3 juicer/3 non-juicer support stil apply. if i start party with 3 non -juicer (1460 dps x3) then no support will ever apply and only other 1460 dps will apply. That is why i only add in weaker player near the enda fter support is done
tbh idc about roster level or engraving 3x3 is fine, I always give people 3 chances they fuck up 3 time, it’s a kick angle even if you’re level 10 or 5x3 or insane roster level
If its typical “alt run” even I might even get called out if I bring you to lobby. Why risk it?
On other occasions ( midnight runs ) you could be in cause theres no other better around.
I mean i only have 1 real alt right now, my main is 1500 and my alt is 1447 with 5x3 and full level 5 gem but only roster 99, would you still go for me or someone else ?
Usually alt runs expect ppl between 120-140+ roster level so you already know the answer.
For other things i.e midnight run or I happen to play on rubbish alt you are welcome.
