General Discussion - Dear Community (A message from an ex-pro) - Forum

Which would be an improvement for the OP, who really hasn't managed to get a leg on the ground in any of his threads here.

You just considers you're a pro because you have a lot of time to spend in this game. When a family father that plays only on the weekend watches you trying to spill bullshit in his beloved game...well, he'll never get you serious. And you know why. You aren't a "pro" because you're a good, you're a "pro" because you do nothing else in your life.	Posted by Craios on Aug 18, 2020, 8:40:35 AM Quote this Post

No matter how many times this guy hits this forum with the same schtick, it seems it never fails to work at generating a response. Often from many of the same people too, who've already seen him do it before. Something to think about if ever one feels like calling out leaders, celebrities or other assorted personages as idiots - it seems we're no better (in fact we're worse, since those people have made bank in life with their supposedly 'dumb' mindsets). Meanwhile more thoughtful forum users are outright banned from these forums, simply for the crime of speaking more directly, openly and honestly instead of using cheap indirect tactics like this to short-circuit their mod policies - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2882810/page/5#p23453908 Last edited by Exile009 on Aug 18, 2020, 9:48:30 AM	Posted by Exile009 on Aug 18, 2020, 9:40:15 AM On Probation Quote this Post
My takeaway from this thread: I really want those 2 months back. https://linktr.ee/wjameschan -- everything I've ever done worth talking about, and even that is debatable.	Posted by Foreverhappychan on Aug 18, 2020, 4:33:45 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

No, I don't want the enchanted helm with a bird on top taking a duece. Real core gamers like me aren't going to pay that money for the false image they sell to you. You dribble when they announce new skins. Full 'simp' as the people say today. That's the difference between someone like you.... and Someone Like Me. You can't complete some of the quests the way I did. I invented 'mercy mode' where you avoid killing any enemies (since you're a simpleton this means I'm extremely low level) possible and just take on a boss rigged against you.You can't do that and you know it. Probably why you're getting upset that someone was actually trying to give the community the heads up that pros should actually be heeded more often than not.

Lol, just as the thread finally dies down (10 days!), he's back to bump it again. And this over 2 weeks after declaring he's "leaving" this community. ;) https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2880800/page/17#p23443485 Last edited by Exile009 on Aug 29, 2020, 3:03:03 AM	Posted by Exile009 on Aug 29, 2020, 2:54:13 AM On Probation Quote this Post

" SadDropUser wrote: As I know that many of you may not currently have the accumulative time to divulge in my entire chain of rhetoric that will be listed below, I am writing this letter to the community as a means of attempting to understand why the very community built around a game would abhor certain members simply on the fact that they perform at another level. I'm not stating that I am the best PoE player (countless top placements at the start of races, solo self found top tier Ranger and Shaman, top 5 guild leader in WOW, S-tier in Everquest rankingboards). What I am saying is, I am one of the best, and when I give advice on these forums, it honestly comes as a bit of an unexcused shock treatment, that I'm not heeded. Why does this matter? Once you look at the greater picture, you'll quickly realize this sets up an inappropriate response system for elite level players. Take Hollywood for example, and consider these forums to be a hollywood party. A high tier actor would not only have the carpet laid out for them, they would also be respected no matter what. It's quite obvious, that they earned it. Now, before you get up in arms like a citizen hunting Frankenstein , realize I'm not saying I'm the top tier actor. But what I am, is a top tier gamer in the current meta. And when I give specific advices regarding scenarios I'm familiar with, they should be heeded. But these forums are a bit of an enigma. Someone who has walked the walk and talked the talk, simply isn't heeded. That's not okay, and I think we can all agree on that, on some level, deep down. Did you finaly managed to complete act10 as marauder?	Posted by gageris on Aug 29, 2020, 1:31:23 PM Quote this Post
