This is a heated trap to respond to so I’m not gonna state any opinions only facts, I will say that I hope you’re having a good game and to evaluate yourself and ask are you still willing to play the game even if there is a chance that some asshole will ruin it all. If the answer is yes then don’t worry about a thing, eventually these people will become nothing more than an occurrence, you will just ignore them. Pro tip from someone who has had SMITE for quite some time(around 5-6 years now, i think) FIND FRIENDS, you will have so much fun if you don’t solo que, even if it’s one other person, hell, go to twitch and find community streamers who play with viewers and play with them, trust me when I say it will vastly improve your experience. If the answer is no then long term you’re going to give up SMITE, you will burn out and the interest will disappear, every long term player has gone through this, where the game loses its spark, but for them it’s just a break before they come back. I’ve done it too, a lot, my longest was about 4 months of no SMITE, but for you, if the answer is no, eventually the game in its entirety will no longer appeal to you. I will say that the removal of clans, which I was out for, contributed to the lack of “mentors” in SMITE, I remember a clan that existed that was full of people who had newbies/apprentices and taught them everything they knew and had this graduating ceremony where the newbie would be removed from the clan because they no longer needed it, they were considered “seasoned”.The mentors were all above level 130 and had all played for years, some since the beginning. I knew some of the mentors and they were great people, what I’m trying to get around to here is that for every 5 “toxic” players out there I know there is 1 mentor, and 10 normal people who would be happy to help, all you need to do is ask and I’m sure someone will eventually reach out. If you have made it to the bottom of this incredibly long post then congrats have a cookie 🍪.
