Most of you may not know me, im pretty laid back, dont get out much, play a lot, keep to myself and hopefully at least do a mediocre job at whatever im supposed to be doing. Some will agree, some will disagree, some wont care. Thats ok, depending on how the stars line up, i prob feel the same on any given day.
But tonight im a little perplexed. Added to the above information, i have just started my second account, have rerolled more times than i care to admit and been playing just a couple months shy of launch, so i think, at least, i have an at least basic understanding of the game and can at least contribute to any group i may join.
Which gets me to my point: not even getting the chance to get to join a group because of perceptual misgivings of a class/ race/ player combo. I mean, does everyone look at what your build says on the outside and assume what its capable on the inside?
Now, i understand that im not really asking a question i dont already know the answer to. I understand that there are people who assume and do so incorrectly. I know im not a prominent communtiy/ server figure and im sure deep down thats by design: im here to play the game and not get into competing/flexing/ whatever matches that ensue around stormreach.
(Disclaimer: it dawned on me that at this point in case there is any doubt, i should mention that i am not stating an opinion on anyone/ group of folks. I dont really know/ want to know/ care what everyone does and how everyone spends there time abroad, as it does not affect me in anyway.)
Now, to wrap up this drabble: After all the time ive spent in stormreach i dont ever remember a time that i was ever told, bluntly, that if they could not find anyone else they would invite me then. Pretty much word for word. Is a battle bard really all that horrible in a pug setting? I honestly cant remember the last time i died, in any quest, much less on my new baby toon, and to think that when a group has three spots left, is advertising for a cleric and tanks, and a pure drow sorc is invited, (yes i know i assume), and no tell is given/ response to tells etc, im a little surprised.
I fully understand being level nine, that im in the dreaded levels, thats bad enough, but for this too happen too, sheesh.....
Ok, im done, just wanted to vent, you guys are always here and the wife for some reason gets upset when i vent and she's sleeping. Just everyone get together and say it was just someone who didnt know me and if they did they would have squelched me after the first tell so i'd never know
happy hunting, rich
