The only relevance they have in a discussion is when a low challenges person is talking about endgame and game balance while having no related challenges completed, or, even worse, the easy ones unchecked. Then there are those who never play leagues and have their profiles privated, parroting "knowledge" they suck off from people more knowledgeable than them while constantly belittling others, in an effort to appear more credible on the surface.

lol describes every interaction and comment you make on these forums to a "t" right here: unless its on full display, no one can possibly know more or have more experience than you....so its best to just write them off and not pay attention. And naturally taking all of those comments as personal attacks rather than actual, REAL information contradicting your classic talking points.

I'm not going to take this further because I know how it goes...but I just love how much that paragraph describes every interaction.


All that matters is the content of the post. Private accounts mean nothing. Years active mean nothing. Challenges mean nothing. If the content of the post is bad, then the player has no idea what they are talking about. If you jump on the "account judgment"....then you have immediately lost the argument. Just like that last line you wrote in the quoted paragraph, that attitude is merely a smokescreen designed to cover up your own inadequate knowledge by pointing out "oh well you have a private account, so you have no idea what you are talking about". It's the easy way out....complete write off and disengagement.


Someone made this comment I believe earlier in this thread, but I'll paraphrase a bit: one need not be a professional chef in order to be an effective and knowledgeable food critic.

lots of people take days to complete campaign.
the elite vets tend to forget other people exist on this planet.
not everyone tries to plow through the maps to reach endgame asap.

A lot of people like to do full clears of maps even during campaign.
some people are altaholics... point is, not everyone clears it in one day in 5-8 hours, in fact most people probably take at least a few days.

As a mainly HC only player, whos been playing since Beta, I consider a league start character to completion of A10 at 5-6 hours pretty fucking good for me. Even twinked up alts is sometimes a struggle. I'm by no means the fastest or best player out there. With that said, I genuinely struggle to want to play new leagues or restart a new character now after dying because of the thought of spending so many hours being absolutely bored out of my mind playing the same acts for the literally 1000th time.
