well generally when you finish the game you'll have AT LEAST R2.... i'm thinking asking for R3+ wouldn't be to much to ask for as it's really not that hard to get (I'm R6).

As far as rank goes, i don't care. I have rank 6 and will hit 7 before we get the update probably so its not an issue for me. I hate starting groups and spamming what the team needs.
The issue that will keep me out of groups is that I refuse to click my skill bar and have some idiot tell me my build sucks and then tell me to run a build that is worse than echo mending. Yes i play a whammo, only monk skill i carry is a hard rez.
I have been playing since day 1 and no I don't need you to tell me what build to run. (this statemnent is a general statement and not pointed at anyone in particular)
Rank discrimination is ignorant and may cost you a win in the end. Just because someone can AFK farm R8 doesn't mean they know what they are doing.

Well, at least one out of two that quoted me seems to have an understanding of sarcasm. Maybe there is hope for the world.

Really, to me, it just boils down to discrimination before the fact. So many here are saying that Here is the Truth and yet not a one of them has been in the new mission. Rather disgusting, in my opinion. As stated in my original post, I have no doubt that Lightbringer rank can have some benefit to the mission,however, I also think that it will (by no means) guarantee success. To have so many placing an inordinate amount of importance on something that they have no idea about is truly amazing to me. To me it seems that many are just looking for a reason to not enjoy the game and to find a way to share that with others. Too bad, really, as I have found this game to have many players that used to go out of their way to help others. Looks like that is all behind us now.

Again I state that I now fully understand why Heroes are so popular. Now, at least, there is no reason to talk to those that think others are worthless as humans because they do not live up to the standards that others impose. I reckon this should make me happy. Now, when my life allows, I can go into this new area with guildies and/or heroes and see what a wonderful thing that ANet has created. I will not have to bother with trying to get into groups because my characters are only rank 7, 5, 1, and 0. In fact, now that I think about it, life just got easier. I will just play with people and heroes that I know. No need to worry about another that thinks are a better human because they leave their computer on all night or while they are in school.

Of course there is another option that is available to all of us in this game. There is the option to just form up and go explore the new area. Speaking only for myself, that is what I would like to see. Somewhere down the road do I expect that to be the same? No. Time will move on,people will learn what works and what does not. No worries. For now, when it is not even open, it makes me sick to see so much "1337ism". Well, I may be out of line. After all, I have no doubts that everyone here that is calling for a particular rank in lightbringer has already beat the mission. Especially since none of us have been there yet.

Anyways, that is just me. For the time being, I am just happy that there is new content to go and explore. Sorry, I have always liked the simple things in life. I look forward to seeing you all when this area is finally open. Good luck and happy hunting!

I rather have Heros or people who knows what they are doing with r2 LB on my team instead of you, who apparently has r9 LB don't know what you are talking about.

Arrogant Morons these days.....

No, he's not on crack. He's being SARCASTIC.
I thought it was quite obvious since he's suggesting something that's impossible.

You might want to read into a post better before labeling someone a moron.

And here is our answer to the porblem right there.

Sure there will be people to disagree with rank level, and heck you may not even get into some groups, but there will always be someone to join.

Besides once someone works out a solo/2 man build for the place everything will change to UW/FoW style anyhow.

Too much flaming here, lets wait and see what happens once the domain is added, then dicuss... without flames.

Closing.

Pugging in general is deriving enjoyment from watching people fail in new and exciting ways. Which is to say, that if I ever PUG here, I will be accepting blind invites, and will be all sorts of surprised if we get past the first mob. If I actually want to succeed, I'll be playing with people I know.

Also, because I am an insomniac jackass who can post in closed threads, I'll point out that there's no difference in difficulty to getting rank 8 Lightbringer over rank 4. Unless you think that farming the same mobs over and over again, or leaving your computer on overnight while your heroes do it for you, qualifies as hard.

Peace,
