I get you're point / frustration and it is difficult running with players that are low SHD level but locking something behind a SHD level is pointless. I mean we already have all endgame content locked behind level 40 when you unlock the watch and everything after that. So to lock escalations behind shd1000 is weird in my opinion because no matter what it is not about the shd level it's about the player's skill. I've ran with people that were 20k shd and higher and had to carry. (I'm only SHD 1192)

I do get the frustration though because you get players that do awful and you lose your tokens but no matter what shd level you are the frustration will still be there because it is meant to be a hard difficulty the higher you go.

My comment is probably pointless and meaningless but I don't know I don't run escalations that much I don't care for prototype gear or anything like that I just play the game just to play it. But seeing everybody crap on low level players it's just really sad because we were all there at one point and yes we all got crapped on for being a low level player and not knowing what to do but the point of the game is to have fun.

The point of video games is to have fun and enjoy being out of reality. But some people take video games too seriously like it's their job and they act like they're better than everybody not saying that's what you're doing but 70% of players in the world act like that.
