@Sashalanda apparently you havent been here for very long. this server USED to be packed, you could find at least 10 different groups or often more running every kind of raid, almost every bg you see new and different toons, not just alts.
you had non legendary re builds back then that were just as powerful too.
No, its always the bit of the community that does exploit, tryhard, and have toxic competitive traits that always scoff and laugh at posts like these. and its a natural response, you cant and wont ever admit that you could be a problem. You get behind your screens, and treat everyone and everything else like they're npcs there only to give you enjoyent at whatever means you deem ok, and its obvious you view games as "everything goes" because in the end there is nothing holding you morally resposible for your actions. if you make something that is stacked and pretty much unkillable, you'll use only that instead of thinking "oh hey, this might be a little over the top... maybe i should use something along the level of everyone else to keep things fair and interesting"
no, you just wanna win, and if the devs overlook something, you'll jump on it and exploit it to the full untill they remove or nerf it to keep getting your fix. this has been going on for years. i watched this place go from multiply thousands of daily users (3k+), to like 300. And ive done pve and pvp here... its the same story for both. people dont collect raid gear for months/years on end and maximize what they have to be at the bottom of the recount charts. but that happens to literally everyone who does not like to exploit for freelo.
EVERY friend ive tried to bring here, every single one quit shortly after they rolled their first toon and hit 70 and made the same exact remark im posting here. like frfr you actually prevented like 5 people from joining this server. so no, i have testimony from myself, and from real people i know who were trying get into the game.
This place grants too much freedom that has been regularly abused and now you feel entitled to continue on doing so.
All im saying is something has got to give. there has always been something absolutely cheesy and ridiculous going on until it gets seen and removed by the devs. three weeks ago it was mana burn, last week it was healing in lack of manaburn... now its melee and stacking cc again. when i first joined there were build stacking %physical damage where warriors and hunters were 1 shotting everything in pve/pvp. it was just cheesy rediculous exploiting in the end that got gutted by the devs like ive stated before.

This server is dying. and theres no wonder why. Truth be told, theres nothing to do and nothing fun to do. as a new player, you jump in thinking "yea! im gonna make my own so-and-so and its gonna be awesome!" and they get to top level realizing its just purely inferior to what xx meta build is or some crap. In pvp you have these toxic exploiters, not gamers that have taken over and made it all painfully unenjoyable. they play only meta builds/troll builds that just smash. So.... new players have no facete to fit in. They cant keep up in pve and they basically arent allowed to pvp. So they leave.
As a person playing on this server for several years, there are some builds that are straight up unbeatable, or have 0 counters. players shamelessly use them anyways and bully the community out of the game. its not fun, not fair, and it needs changing. When players have to beg others to be less cruel, (and ive whinessed this) your game has a toxicity issue brought on by the fact you have these people who wanna cheat within legal lines and always win, and get away with it (because you've let them)

Real talk, you guys need moderators to actually play the game and look for these people and ask them to stop, or ban them. Then you need to find out what they're doing and nerf the crap out of it.

There are two types of people who play games: gamers who play the game as intended
exploiters who just want to win by any means.

Youve catered to one side of the community, and yes, there are some cool RE's as a result. but you community is dropping fast and this server is on its way to being desolate. thats not a sign of success.

I paid the amount, got the book, rolled some characters, left for a few months for work and when i come back ive been blocked from service with no explination.

So i was just trying to browse through builds to see new things.
Its stuck only showing 1 build and i dont have any interest in using it. FFS i just want to browse ideas.
If someone knows how this can work, let me know. otherwise, this is a pretty user-unfriendly and kinda janky system put into place.
