Very true, and people are also not mentioning that some classes/specs are simply not as good as the full on meta comps, especially for cities. So what are your options there if you are playing one of those classes besides either being meat for the meat grinder, as it was put, or to be the lucky one person that will get a spot in an organised group among the Slayers/BW/Kotbs etc.Martok wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 3:06 pmjaxamillian wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 6:30 amAs a mainly solo player I always pug for cities, unfortunately 90% of the time we face up vs perfect premades.
Haven't you heard? As clearly stated right here on these very forums by one of the upper echelon the fact you play as a pug renders you meat for the grinder, and nothing more.

It would.
But your only actual option is "get good" or something. Or "learn to play" scrub. Or play the game in the exact manner someone else wants you to play it in otherwise even if you were in a guild or alliance you would immediately be kicked from that guild or alliance if certain someones saw you playing in a manner you actually enjoy.
Typically I deal in satire. But on this occasion every word I transcribed above are exact declarations taken from responses to this exact proposal the first time it came up.
This is the main issue in my opinion. So what if it's fine to have one WH, SW, IB, AM,Engi in a guild warband or premade? Statistically that's still not enough positions for everyone who is up during city time to get in such a group, which means the majority of the players playing those classes will be forced to pug and be meat either way. "Just reroll" isn't a good reply to this, people invest time in their characters and I don't blame them for expecting the endgame to be balanced. Maybe if more classes were viable to have multiple of in cities then people would be more likely to create premades/join guilds.
And before some of the cynical remarks that show up in these threads appear, yes, I still love the game. It's just a discussion.
