If I had a coin for every time I have seen someone say this to another player, I would own my server.
I’m not sure exactly what level capping is supposed to mean to some of you, but the reality is that by level 10, you’re seen the basic pattern of this game’s design for PvE, and once you’ve flagged up in the open world, you can say the same for PvP.
Since you cannot participate in outpost rush or war before 60, it seems some players assume that if you’re not observed to be level 60, “you don’t count”.
Or worse, they infer “I’m higher level, so I’ve been here longer, so I know more and my opinion is more valid.”
BOTH are complete BS. The days of time = credibility of opinion never were; all one does by calling forth “veteran” status is self-identify as someone who has problems with understanding Theory Of Mind.
My current character is 39 and I get this comment directed at me, too. But my response usually makes the point:
Just because you can’t see all my titles does not mean I do not have them.
(IOW: If you can only process the possibilities you directly see, maybe consider the problem is your own perspective, because, well, that’s reality.)
So when someone offends your sense of status and “author-ah-tah” with a differing opinion, if you are as genuinely interested in the livelihood of the product offering as you claim, practice your willpower and refrain from the compulsion to point them to your totem pole / pecking order / status, eh?
So far as AGS is concerned, none of us are more credible than their staff until we’re damn near unanimous (and that, frankly, is a problem given that <1% of players bother with forums or “engaging” with AGS directly in any medium unless angry).
And time played has never been an indicator of authoritative credibility, only compulsive addiction… a yardstick unworthy of mention in any context, but oddly adored by a certain subset of the early adopter crowd.
You see, I don’t care if you peed on the doorway first. That was ages ago and it’s still just pee, when you get right to it. And peeing on something first doesn’t mean you’re better or more credible… particularly if/when they only reason you could do so was you were part of the group exploiting known issues for competitive advantage.
No matter how you look at it, people who claim superiority due to time invested are usually the absolute worst examples because even their time invested is an outlier… literally an edge case that renders them outside the boundary of “usual”.
Of course, that is the amusing part. They generally do not realize it. “I’m a veteran” = “I do not realize my status as an outlier refutes me far faster than my level does others.”
Final note - this post only applies to you if you think it does. Choose wisely.
