Huge ego in PvP

[Mewithoutyou-ragnaros]

Unfortunately it’s human nature and it’s like that in many aspects of life.

If you were on a job for 1 year, and you argue with someone who’s been there for 10 years, it’s very likely they’ll tell you “I’ve been here longer, so I know better” even if you might actually be right in this particular instance.

It takes a mature person to not let their ego take over. If, due to inexperience, what you’re saying is wrong, and they are more experienced and truly know better, then they should attack your argument and explain why you’re in the wrong, rather than attacking your rating.

I try to not fall for that trap myself, but sometimes I have, especially when it’s heated and I’m emotional.

My best advice would be to ignore toxic people at all costs and not try to argue with them. This is the only sustainable “solution” in the long run

Cheers mate and don’t let them get to you.

It’s a kind of thread that pop often in us, mostly about how disgusting it is to not have a shuffle glad mount and shuffle is harder than 3s etc…

People want everything for free these days.

Wonder why blizzard doesnt disable chat in SS by deffault instead banning/mute people…So much wasted time of GMs which they could focus on BOTS.

[Valdrakon-argent-dawn]

You can remove it yourself, but I personally like to keep it because I like to be aware of my partner’s plan / focus target, and all you need to use is the ping system to organize a focus target.

I never saw him bash anyone’s rating tbh.

Then I guess you havent been here for long. x)

@Wolfex-hellfire

That is true yes. But I’m referring to the people that get trash-talked before all of that, which seems quite common.

It is also quite common for people to blame others instead of themselves. So im not surprised theres alot of trash talk in general. People also get insulted for almost anything these days.

@Wolfex-hellfire

Out of curiosity, how do you know if someone has purchased a high account, apart from arena game-play.

Massive ego with no knowledge.
Several glad/r1 characters but no knowledge.
Boast/Brag about their achievement while being literally stuck in lower rating unless boosted etc etc.

The thing is, people can buy boosts from gold which I personally dont care too much about. Its the people who buy it and then brag about it I got issues with.

@Wolfex-hellfire

Very common tbh, which is the people I’m referring to.

I usually feel it depends on how people argue or put up their “case” for discussion. Theres alot of ppl who keep blaming other reasons for them not being able to climb etc in their original post. And to be fair, I usually read more ppl blaming others than ppl rating bashing. Its usually a few ppl who do it.
You either dont care about it or you care about it, I choose just to not bother when ppl say it and just discuss/argue my points instead.

But having a “high rating” means they have knowledge, right? So a person that bought a high rating have the right to belittle people with lower ratings, because lower people won’t be able to understand higher rating gameplay, so it would be hard to tell if they bought their account or not.

I bet there’s many rating buyers on the forum that talk down on lower rated people.

[Rakár-stormscale]

you had urself a ego when u got 1,8 against brodan for example who has 600 more xp than u so idk if ur the one who should cry about that

[Faveyo-die-nachtwache]

@Veetea-ravencrest

Feral Druid and Convoke the Spirits

to be fair, many peoples are also got hard “clickbaited” (because they are npc´s)

they saw a snupy video, where he got 2.1 With convoke, Which was a lot of rating for many, especially many forum users at this time back in shadowlands

i think u only had 2 Ferals with convoke at “high close r1 rating in sl” but they just played fmp, and it worked, because u had to kick mage.

and even then, necrolord was just better, but i love, how people are easily getting “baited” by walmart clickbait youtube Thumbnails

@Veetea-ravencrest

It’s called experience for a reason.

yeah, you can expand it anywhere, even in professions, Or do you think, a craftsman, knows more about the law than a lawyer?

@Wolfex-hellfire

You can get experience

nobody said u cant, but u cant get as much experience as someone who is at a higher rating, because at higher rating, other things happen, the meta is also different there, because some things dont work at higher rating. like the convoke thing back in the days

simple because the players are better there, and can counterplay so many things way easier than lower rated peoples, which is okay

@Wolfex-hellfire

It’s toxic plain and simple. I see many on the forums rating bash at any given opportunity. I don’t know how you can’t see that as toxicity.

i mean, rating bash is toxic BUT keep in mind, you have to look at the situation, Some players who are low rated act too confident and think they are on the same level and spread bs around, with is not true, and if you correct them, they flame you

when it comes to toxic behavior, i had a way worse experience with low experienced players, than with experienced players, when it comes to the forum, or when i played with tool peoples.

[Ghary-lava-lash]

I see way more people that are playing very bad and blaming other or trying to “trash talk” . Those guys don’t see that they are the issue, that they can’t play.

It’s insane to me that so many people that are hardstuck 1,5k after hundreds of rounds having such a huge ego that they don’t see that they suck.

My personal experience is more like actual good players can be a$$holes yes but bad players are often way more toxic and delusional.

[Vulrin-argent-dawn (Vulrin)]

Rating means nothing since solo shuffle was added, ive seen people who trinket literally nothing and then wonder why they die. Rival is over inflated with boosted people and people carried by class who know how to press 1,2,3 till healer goes oom or can’t keep up anymore

[Faveyo-die-nachtwache]

@Ghary-lava-lash

their mates gatekeeping them, cant u see it?!

ahh, before i forget to mention, wintraders at 1.5 also gatekeep them

it´s always mate, and others fault

@Ghary-lava-lash

My personal experience is more like actual good players can be a$$holes yes but bad players are often way more toxic and delusional.

100% Solo Shuffle showed it even more

@Vulrin-argent-dawn

Rival is over inflated with boosted people and people carried by class who know how to press 1,2,3

Even Duelist…

You can buy and have no knowledge. Theres a warrior who is a clear example of it.
No knowledge means barely know anything about specific specs but brags about playing in higher rating where its supposed to be known facts.

@Wolfex-hellfire

I bet there’s many rating buyers on the forum that talk down on lower rated people.

Theres ppl who played on massively inflated brackets and played the most meta spec during that time and brag about it.
Yes, I played ret during 10.0.7 aswell, only played until 2100 for the weapon enchant before I stopped caring since it was boring. But you will still see ppl spamming “you only got it due to that” etc while themselves couldnt even touch 1800 during that period of time with their own ret.

So yes, there will always be ppl who talk down on others, most of them is just “ignore” and move on.

[Rakár-stormscale]

Problem is also that ppl not even playing the game run arround in here like yojeong this onc ein a lifetime duelist ret abuser and now he thinks im ont he lvl of faveyo for example that is the funniest part atleast ur a entertainer now kid.

you walk like a clown look like a clown talk like a clown simple cause ur a clown =)

Man, you rly like your mirror when you talk dont you?
Imagine never winning an argument while pretending to be Multi glad + R1.

[Raenarde-ragnaros]

Happened the same to me with my hunter. I have 2 survival hunter, both above 1800. I usually use my alt for getting fit again, If i miss a wekk or more. Just for fun and practice.

Last time, (I have pvp 484 ilvl ) Got 2 DH and Arms against me. Damn, I was farmed like hell Nobody tells me, I could do it better, Im the main target, DHS done 120k+ dps on me.

Next, I logged in my main Its in 488 ilvl so almost full. It wasnt good either, but both of the healers reported me and blamed on me, that Im bad etc. 2 Priest, with 2 SL Duelist exp. I won 2 so it happens sometimes.

How is it going on other runs? 6/6 win to 6 player or what? Thats the game. Someone have to always lose. Someone in the lobby got less, and the next he won 6.

Dont be toxic, and if you run 2 or run 3 Maybe you’re bad, or its a grp work. I played a DH first day at 1400 mmr got more love and appreciate than my “big” exped hunter.

I can agree with the author.

[Mewithoutyou-ragnaros]

Haha, the “reporting” part always profoundly confuses me Happened to me a few times!

If I die before having used Aspect of the turtle, immediately someone whispers me: “Reported”

There are so many reasons why this could happen:

• you misjudged the incoming damage and got greedy and paid for it
• you were stunned
• you though you’d be BoPed or given Pain Suppression which are off CD and healer was not in CC

But no, you must be trading! haha

[Leeches-aggramar]

Some times it is warranted. If someone is complaining about something that only works at low ratings, like for example one-shotting people as MM hunter, then yeah its totally reasonable to point out that they’re only experiencing that issue because they are very low rated.

Other times you’re dealing with a person who is in their ‘i just hit my all time peak’ ego phase. This happens a ton with first time duelists and first time glads.

And then the rest of the times are people who are just delusional. For example theres people who post on these forums semi regularly who call people challengers or rivals or duelists for life, despite themselves never being above 2400, ever, even during the hyper inflated seasons of DF S1 or SL S2. These people aren’t serious and you should just block them.

Love it, keep going guys

[Yojeong-kazzak]

Ngl, its kinda boring when its not even a challenge.
People who make things up to have any argument are usually the most boring to talk to.
Too many ppl live in a fantasy world
