How do you get better when the raid won't let you in. You are at the point in the progression that to improve you need the drops from that zone. But in order to get into the zone, you need to be able to get into the raid. No life isn't fair, but this isn't life. It's a game. Games are supposed to be fun. Some people avoid the cutting edge guilds because that may not be their style. Fair enough.Once again proving my point... get better and the raid lead will let you in... you were kicked because you weren't as good as the other guy I could bring because he does 20% more dps then you..
It's like sales why should I hire the guy who sells 100k a year even tho hes good when I can find a guy who sells consistently for 150k.. 100k is damn good but yes I took the one who was better.
Also your argument still falls under the catergory of elitism which I mentioned invalidating it as I will parse and still kick him if I have better players begging for a fast run..
And players find out who leads best the guy who never has a fail group because he watches EVERY aspect including dps in his raids.. Guess what those are the same guilds in the top 100 those who expect the best..
Don't like it? There are other groups to join.. Life isn't fair ...
And you can be ababy all you want... however not having meters won't stop this scenario from happening.
And not having meters will make it happen less. How much less remains to be seen. I do however know not to apply to your guild. Rift looks like it will be fun. Control freaks aren't usually big on everyone having fun.

And..you just lost all credibility. Thanks, done arguing with you.

I love my comma's, deal with it, chump.
It's good to know that exotic occult has some pretenders. (People who think they are hardcore but don't really understand the reality of things and get overshadowed by much better players later on)
You start your own raids/guild. Seeing as how most of your complaints have come from wow scenarios, it was ridiculously easy to do just that in that game.
Learn to enjoy the fight, not the reward. It's always much more fun if you win a fight against odds, than if you win a fight in which had no close calls.
Why you think people have adrenaline rushes on bad pulls, then barely emerge victorious.
Then again, this is a concept which is fading from the MMO world. Instant-Gratification...yuck...gross.

Don't worry we don't want those who under perform and are afraid of their numbers being tracked.

I think you have the wrong person to be accusing.
Being in the top 100 guilds in WoW is nothing to be boasting about.
Yeah, I did go with guildies on some PUGs, but seeing this scenario play out almost every day in general chat got me a bit jaded. It used to be fun, but I started to realize that too much of the scene was grinding for badges or what not just so the number on the DPS meter or Gearscore would allow me to join a raid on a whim for the chance at the one item I wanted from that zone. That, and blizzard also helped my problem by certain nerfs to my unconventional spec. It was a combination of many things, but seeing the DPS meter/gearscore elitism by so many in the general chat helped almost as much as my spec being turned to dust by blizzard.

I disagree.. however I was more thinking EQ2.. although I still think it takes something to be in the top of such a big pond.

A testimonial...someone stated I was being just opinionated and not factual?
This post just proved my point.

IDK man, that seems like something to boast about.
Always a bigger fish that can eat you, regardless of what pond you're in. They also don't need the laserbeams on their forehead as a crutch to eat you either.

No matter which way you spin that encounter, it wasn't harder than Vanilla Naxx.
I was thinking more along the lines of nihilum before easy wow...
