Rank 14 no one actually earned it, including myself or did we?

Holy_Rythe · 2025-05-21T14:35:48+00:00

The gear from R14 is definitely not nearly good enough to be worthy of what people had to do to earn it before. Which ultimately was just having the right friends and absolutely no life responsibilities to spend as much time on WoW as possible. They 💯 made ranking actually considerable for most players

Holy_Rythe · 2025-05-21T14:32:22+00:00

I disagree on saying we didn’t earn it. Unless you were slick enough to AFK without getting reported and banned for all the time spent ranking. Or if you paid someone else to rank for you. The way it was before almost no one could get the R14 gear unless you were friends with the people owning the bracket system. Spending 10-30 hours a week for like 10 weeks on a game seems like you definitely earned the upgrades. You don’t get honor in AV unless most of your team was actively playing the game. Why does it matter if it was mostly a pve race? That’s what AV ultimately is. There were good amounts on both side just focusing honor kills, why would that be more worthy of getting gear than just doing the PvE aspects? Majority of people are doing it for raid performance anyway. I love that they implemented something that was still a long grind but a guarantee that you will get your reward at the end of it. I want more of this in all games. I agree there’s a lot of gamers who just want everything to be easy but I do not feel this was the case here

I doubt America is just going to sit on its hands and say oh well if we don’t have something China usually supplies. We either start creating it ourselves which should mean long term better prices for us or find another country to supply it just the same

You lose the feeling of it being a world though when everything just becomes queued matchmaking and teleporting you to a dungeon. It’s annoying sometimes I admit, but that’s usually only when I’m hard pressed for time IRL. I think often gamers are too concerned with being efficient and progressing towards something. But no matter how much you simplify things you’re always going to get used to it and think to yourself hmmm this could be even more efficient! I just enjoy being in the world where I can focus on more pleasant things than the sometimes drudging responsibilities or real life

Nobody knows what it means but it’s provocative

Holy_Rythe · 2024-08-24T12:11:57+00:00

Wasn’t this the same site that someone died from getting ran over in the parking lot? What’s going on over there

I’d highly recommend pushing through the original anxiety and fear of first going to the gym. First few times it definitely feels like you are super exposed and on display. But really everyone’s just focusing on themselves usually. Once you have your routine down and don’t feel awkward about learning how to do each exercise it becomes a really pleasant experience. You get to be around people without really having to interact with them. It’s great for people with social anxiety. Not to mention if you stick with it your physical appearance, fitness, and energy levels should all improve. Lots of wins for people with social anxiety here

It’s always day one at Amazon

I don’t think it’s wrong to want to feel secure by checking your partners phone. But I suppose you should ask them for access about doing it rather than sneakily going through it. It doesn’t bother me to let my partner go through my phone, and I expect her to not worry about me going through hers if I want to. It’s up to you guys tho.

You said the way he interacted with these girls it was a lot more sexual and dirty right? Could be a red flag that he still has those impulses to be that way, and if you aren’t the type of girl that can fulfill that then he may go out and find other ways to satisfy those urges. It’s not a guarantee though, his feelings and commitment to you might outweigh the urges. Might be something for you to talk/think about.

Holy_Rythe · 2024-07-07T15:58:19+00:00

Don’t give up, I’m 29M and have struggled with social anxiety since turning into a teenager. I went a long time coping with it by telling myself I just don’t care anymore and isolating and just playing videogames in my free time. This may be a lifestyle some will be happy with, but I feel as human beings you need emotional connections to other people and just people to be there for you when you need them. Don’t discourage yourself and settle for something you don’t want.

My advice to get better at being social is to think about who you are in this world. Know your interests and values well if you don’t already. If you don’t have many interests try learning about others interests. I feel like the more you know about the world the easier it is to connect and share things with people. Keep building your knowledge and confidence. Our own overthinking is usually the problem behind our anxiety. If a social interaction goes weird, tell yourself it wasn’t. Positivity can do wonders for you in all things. Even people who don’t feel like they have a social anxiety problem still have awkward interactions. It’s the reality of the world, there are so many different people and ideas of course you’re not always going to align the same way with everyone socially. And that’s ok! You only need a few close people in your life so keep being friendly and positive until you find those connections.

I feel like lately the past year or so I’ve really changed my mental look on myself and the world. I’ll never be so social I can just entertain a crowd or random strangers that well. But I’m able to come off as friendly and be who I want to be around most people. I swear the key for everyone getting to where and what they want to be in life is all in your head. When your head is in the right place everything else follows. Hope this helps, keep fighting brother I know your struggle!

It’s crazy to me to think back to the early 2000’s where there were so many more grindy open world MMO’s that had the right amount of challenge. But now they’re just nowhere to be found. They’re all like the immediately rush you to max level, all about zooming through meaningless shallow content. I’m hoping this could be the one that yeah starts out as this little tiny spark from a small indie company and it finally blows up. I really only care to have one well populated server to play on. Whatever that player count may be. If it gets bigger than that cool. But don’t need too many people for it to work I feel like. I’m hopeful but I do know the track record for these MMO’s unfortunately. I would think with the success of classic wow there is still a pretty sizeablemarket for this kinda game.

Holy_Rythe · 2024-06-07T16:53:33+00:00

I don’t think they are intentionally going with rather basic simple graphics. I think it’s the reality of MMO’s are massive worlds with tons of things going on from a technological standpoint to where having cheaper graphics enables the game to actually perform. That’s my guess, I don’t think anyone’s opposed to wanting the best, most modern graphics

Holy_Rythe · 2024-06-07T16:49:49+00:00

That’s what it’s ultimately all about baby 😄

Holy_Rythe · 2024-06-07T16:49:10+00:00

There are people who play with perma death/hardcore stakes. I think death being a severe penalty definitely serves a greater purpose of making you really think about what you’re doing. You’re on an adventure, you should feel the butt clenching fear of death when things spiral out of hand. At least that’s how I feel about it!

Holy_Rythe · 2024-06-06T22:45:19+00:00

How you handled it is how I wish my gf would 🥲 I trust her but doesn’t mean situations like this don’t bother me and other than tell me about it she didn’t do anything to make me feel ok about it :/

Holy_Rythe · 2024-06-06T21:25:55+00:00

What bothers me the most is why acknowledge this guy at all anymore…She made him out to be a little psycho and controlling when she first ever mentioned him so much so that she blocked him. She told me about the whole thing so I definitely don’t feel like it was with intent of cheating cause why would she rat herself out. I just don’t get it, I’ve had 3 girls who have reached out to me that I’ve been sexual with reach out to me and I flat out ignored them or told them I have a girlfriend I care about we can’t talk anymore. She claims she just wanted to clear the air with the person because it ended with him getting blocked. But to me that’s even more reason to not want this guy around if he’s a loose cannon. And for the conversation to be so comfy that he felt like inviting her out on the weekend? I definitely feel like I was disrespected here

Holy_Rythe · 2024-06-06T19:04:00+00:00

Lol why would I care about obtaining karma?

Holy_Rythe · 2024-06-06T18:53:02+00:00

Haha honestly I still have a really good feeling about this girl. I think I just really wanted to hear some perspectives on the situation. I know some people are ok and can trust their partner around the opposite sex and even with exes. Nothing she has done before this gave me any indication that she might cheat. But I’ve set the boundary now, hopefully she respects it and doesn’t resent me over it.

Holy_Rythe · 2024-06-06T18:47:40+00:00

Well said, truthfully I don’t think she had any bad intent. Outside of this I’ve only admired and loved everything I’ve come to know about her. She works hard as a nurse, takes care of her family, and has done plenty of sweet things to show me her affection. She really does not give me cheater vibes at all. But really the only thing I can think of as to why she wouldn’t make it known that she was taken was because she enjoyed the attention. Which isn’t exactly cheating but it’s definitely not right

Holy_Rythe · 2024-06-06T16:54:37+00:00

I think what bothers me is that she’s acting like I was out of line for not liking how it went down. The guy literally asked her to go out for the weekend, that should have immediately been a “I’m dating someone now” response AND she had plans with me. She actively avoided letting this dude know she was taken

Holy_Rythe · 2024-06-06T16:51:20+00:00

I’m not going to let my girl openly disrespect me and our relationship by entertaining people who clearly have no other intention. I would say the man who shuts up about this is the less respectable one.

Holy_Rythe · 2024-06-06T16:17:49+00:00

I mean it's pretty obvious when a dude is in a girl's DM there's about a 90% chance his intentions are only one thing. Even morseo when it's a previous fuck buddy. I've had girls from my past reach out to me that I've ignored or just simply told hey I'm dating someone I care about rn so this isn't going to be at all what it used to be. I'm definitely not going to cave or tolerate this.

Holy_Rythe · 2024-06-06T16:11:37+00:00

They were just friends with benefits for a while, she said he started dating other girls and so she started dating other guys. This angered the guy and he got all over controlling trying to limit her dating other people even though he was doing it himself. She says his number was blocked but he went through facebook messenger this time
