An Unfortunate Truth

[Red Armor Dude]

I have always dreamed of being a superstar like the rebels. But there is something that I've noticed that really just sucks. I got back into guildwars recently, had some school work, ect. I went to HA to see if I could get into a group, which to my previous encounters, just used to be a breeze. But this time, I couldn't get a group to save my life. Every group wants r9/10+ ect. Sorry guys, but when I go /rank. I get told I have to be r3 to do that.

The vicious loop.

Only high ranks can participate.
So, how does one of lower rank get to be a higher one?
Well, you could get your own guild, recruit players. Who wants to be led by a guy with no rank?
Thats just it. When did not having a title, mean that you don't know your butt from a hole in the ground?
I GvG'ed for a while. I was with Blood and Chains [goth] (Never liked the name) when they made Monkspike/shovespike/gothspike. ect. I was a spiking monk when we beat the Rebels. Yes. I was on a team that beat the rebels. I'm not going to lie, it made me feel good. (No offence, it was a cheap build)
Anyway. I guess I'm done ranting. Conclusion: Whatever happened to people who wanted to play, instead of being addicted to winning. Losing is part of the game.

who cares

The underdog doesn't get any chance to shine. If all the older players start to die off then who steps in to take the place of that person? I'd almost certainly hope you cared, new players are obviously the only people that can be brought into it. Who else? I don't want to call you ignorant, but thats almost exactally what your trying to say that makes people think that. "I'm better then you because, well, I am. Nyah Nyah Nyah." Being a jerk wont help people think any better of you.

Being a mentor to someone lets them learn, and grow, and finally get to the point where they can teach others what they have learned. Heirlooms of PvP get passed down. Above all, I love the chance to learn anything I can from other players.

There are a number of people still playing that agree with you and will help. You might not find them in this forum. Try Guild Wars Guru instead. Just hang-out in the area you are interested in and eventually someone helpful will arrive. -KA
