Yeah the Vairgrys bias is real, I truly think that people just frustrated with the game are just taking it out on others. I have played with gigachads and bozos from both servers, encountered people from both servers who are just mean and flame but at the end of the day we all just trying to enjoy the game we love. And I think people need to realize the Vairgrys players still playing truly love the game with all the hardship they've encountered to continue playing. NA folks I know would quit in droves like them if put in the same scenario.
I've raided with vairgrys players about 10 times, about 50% of the raids someone disconnects. I've only done 1 raid with a vairgrys player had no idea how to do the mechs.
Every other player you played with before merge, had done everything at 100% accuracy? cause the way i see it, i bet you got carried a lot by vairgrys players but you actually don't see that
I am not saying SA has bad players as 1/10 is pretty good before merge. I am saying SA has bad internet because every other time I raid with them someone disconnects.
I sat in luterra today spam reporting bots for 40 minutes I think I reported a good 200-300 of them, all artilirists. sad to see man especially for new players, NA East
I think the confirmation bias goes both ways. You get denied, you assume its server. Also i see lobies with like 6 vairgrys, i typically dont apply because i assume theyre taking only vairgrys.
Terms of my experience with some of the SA players. Honestly it's not bad personal preference wise i prefer a more aggressive playstyle because culture wise for SA I see why that culture of play did come to be. But my question to the culture norm for SA is that why couldn't you change the ideology of for example you que guardian and no support leave why couldn't the individual players see the potions as a sort of challenge condition for the clear. For example you have 5 blue pots so for a good clear of the fight you allow yourself 5 mistakes for the fight and if you need more just run back to start and do the pull again. I have seen that happen in guardians like hanu and hanu isn't that much of a hard fight once you understand how his normal patterns. Secondly the other ideology or more of a clear condition. Clear as a 4 man DPS because the other experience I did have with SA players is that they do for some reason take uneeded hits and expect the support to fix their own bad habits for lack of experience of playing without a support. Because the other unfortunate reality of just playing with the minimum requirements the expectation of needing to play flawless is far higher. We all know for example voldis most wants you to have Lv 9 core dmg to make dmg pace faster. But if the lv 9 dmg player just eats dirt for about 4 mins is just as equally as useless and is what I like to say it's all show no go. But of course the community who does think something like this is very finite or in simpler terms a very small pool of players who wants to build the grit to grind for the clear. It's the same in any region but it is just the matter of if and who would kick them out of the birds nest and just do it.
