*Sigh* I must not be as geeky as I thought

What does the silver trim indicate?

I haven't played with WM, but I've gone against them in HA. Nothing quite as disheartening as seeing [Rnub], [EViL], and [WM] in one team against your pathetic little IWAY. I can say that they were very friendly and they squashed us into a bloody pulp though.

The reason why this is amazing is the (not mythical) elitism in many of the top guilds. The average new player in PvP has no one to play with, no one wants to play with them, and if, god forbid, they actually manage to get into a group, they are immediately ridiculed for being new.

Not that I don't understand where it comes from, but it makes PvP a very unhealthy environment for new players.

I randompug with people all the time, but I don't see them making topics about it!

the silver trim means that they placed in the top 16 of the guilds in the last ladder season. unlike the gold trims which are permanent, these can disappear if you dont remake the top 16 next ladder season.

I am not sure why people have to hate on this guy for posting this. It was a big deal for him, he had a good time with it, the end. It is unnecessary to post crap like "big deal" "WM sucks at HA" etc. Is there any point to that?

Some of you could tell this was coming ...

What does the permanent gold trim mean?

Guillaume De Sonoma · Aug 09, 2006, 08:12 PM // 20:12

Gold means first place and it is a permanent thing

Jeez, why must people player-hate all the time.

The WM guy was nice enough to play with a PUG group. No, he shouldn’t get a cookie for that but he should be insulted for it either.

The OP posted that a guy from WM pugged with him. Again, why must people find fault with that. If the OP thought it was a cool/nice thing for the OP, then it is.

Who gives a damn whether the WM guy is one out of a 100 WM players. He is in WM and he obviously knew what he was doing (per the OP).

And what is this I keep reading about “oh, well he probably had no choice because no one in his guild does HOH.”

People can’t seriously think that if people in HOH saw the following:

1) Rank 3 unknown person LFG for ____________

2) Person X (from WM but not blatantly showing his tag) LFG for_________ that most non “leet” groups wouldn’t pick the guy up. (Note my use of the phrase “non-leet” group because a good many HOH groups are high rank/reputation only groups. Meaning you have to be high ranked and have to be “known” on their friends list).

Now who do you think is gonna get picked? Rank 3 IWAY or WM, Evil, ZPZP, Te, IQ, etc?

I am not in a high ranked guild. But just because my guild isn’t that high ranked means that I have to go around bashing high ranked guilds to make myself feel better.

In some people’s eyes, that WM guy is evidently damned if he does/damned if he doesn’t.

Another thing, as to just being a member of the guild.

You know what, if you are the bench warmer on Michael Jordan’ team and Michael Jordan goes out demolishes your team, you are fully within your rights to say “yeah, my team is better than yours.” That is the reality of life and goes for pretty much every sport.

No one says “oh, well yeah, they just have Joe Montana on their team, that’s why they won.” No, they won. Plain and simple.

(So if WM wins, they win and every member even if he/she bought his way in is entitled to tell you “WE” beat you.). That’s right, “WE.”

actually yes i have. i have played both with them and against them. I never singled out ANYONE on either team. You misread my post. I said that some people in iq were assholes, but most if not all of KGYU has them beat.
