User talk:Warwick/Rank means shit

Rank is a synonym (sp?) for Elitism. --- -- (contribs)  &emsp;(talk)  12:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I hope in GW2 no form of PvP rank is ever implemented. It only leads to discrimination and elitism. However it will most likely be exactly the same again. Silver Sunlight [[Image:SSunlight.jpg|18px]] (T/C) 13:24, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I bet there will be some kind of pvp title that will be used by teams to determine leetness, assuming titles and pvp will stay. Breintje(P/T) 14:05, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Rank means shit, yet you're playing HA just to get that rank emote. Contradiction. -- - talk 13:31, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

A R10 automatically has better skillz than a R0, but anything in between that... meh. Rank is not a good measure of how good someone is at the game, mostly because gimmick builds exist. (T/C) 17:40, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * It's not the rank title that is broken, nor the feelings surrounding it. Elitism and discrimination (based on skill) exists in real life too, so you just have to deal with it. Rank is supposed to be a good indicator of how good someone is at the game based on their experience in the main form of PvP (HA) and if people want to get bitchy about it (elitist) they can, even if we don't like it.
 * However, the underlying problem is that HA, is not a good indicator of skill; that's both Izzy's fault and Andrew Patrick's fault. There are various reasons for this (and I won't explain them since everyone knows them) but the end result is r3s with no skill and don't know anything (my friend told me about how some nub joined his r9++ team, thinking it was randomway, and then zerged in and acted all nooby, but they won somehow and the guy was like "zomg i got r3!!!11oneone" and his epeen exploded) and r6s without vent (pisses the shit out of me when they flash wolf and go "lol whats vent") &mdash; Nova  [[Image:Neo-NovaSmall.jpg]] &mdash;  (contribs) 21:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
