Gem Exploiting Morons

[Apnea]

If people were legitimately concerned with balancing things and reducing burst, they'd all be using resilience gems. Very few people have been using resilience gems though, so it's apparent where the intent behind using these gems lies. It's about getting an unfair advantage over people who don't have them. It's a shame coming from some of the better players in the bracket too.

Kitn is using crit and spell pen gems, Soda is using intellect gems, Craycray is using agility and crit gems, Overkill is using agility gems; I could go on but I'm tired of making GM tickets (and all of them were stupid enough to log out with exploited gear which will add a few nice screenshots for evidence in reporting).

The argument may be made that this is what twinking is, but I disagree. This is what twinking was in days long passed. We've evolved into better players with a desire for competition and good games, not just farming kills for 25 minutes. This isn't about getting the best gear available through normal means and hard work, this is simply exploitation of a broken mechanic in the game in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage over others.

dude that is what 3 tc and a psycho? they can rock the wrong gems all they want not going to matter if they go up against someone rocking proper gems which is what you keep missing for some reason.

It's (at least) 4 of the supposed best current players in the bracket in a guild that's a legitimate contender to playing and beating Waw Tawent, players that others should be aspiring to play like. This sets a piss-poor example for people trying to learn from them. I'm not going to search every Alliance guild for others doing the same.

There are no "proper" gems, they're all the products of exploiting a broken mechanic. So no, I missed absolutely nothing.

"proper gems" are gems that are beneficial to the bracket. if leg armor was still available to 19s would you use it? yea you would. was it intended that low levels use it? no it wasn't. it's the same argument you are just being close minded.

Instead of whining and reporting, you should just do it yourself. It's not like your mage is going to be shelving a BiS wrist in order to do this. You don't get banned for this. Instead of tattling like we're all in pre-school, just do it yourself.

Nope. Call me cheesy or retarded or whatever you want, I still have a sense of good sportsmanship in anything that I do competitively. I won't be using the gems and I'll keep reporting it until it's fixed. Tattling? Whining? Sure thing. You sound like some crack dealing thug calling everyone else a snitch.

You're basically saying that if you played baseball and you knew someone was using steroids, you'd use them instead of reporting it?

Way to generalize all the people who use gems. What do you not get about the fact that we have the opportunity to balance this bracket's burst? So what if people choose to stack dps gems, it's their loss and yours if you don't pick up resil gems. I'll use an analogy since you pulled the steroid card on us. Twinks have the opportunity to farm AGM, right? One might argue that it simply wasn't meant for low level PvP. Now, what did we do about this issue? We farmed it. Same goes with the gem exploit. Take time to farm it and stop bitching.

It's still not getting through to some people, EVERYONE can get these. Imagine it's just an enchant on a piece of gear! No one is saying it should be kept a secret. Tell your friends, tell whoever, it's only an advantage if you decide to be narrow minded and choose not to be BiS. It doesn't matter if people aren't using resil gems, that's their choice, the resil gems will give you an advantage over people who decide to gem for DPS anyway.

I guess we'll determine the accuracy of your analogy when Blizzard fixes the gem issue and leaves AGM as it's been for years, right? You simply can't compare the two because they're not comparable. Getting AGM is entirely possible without help, on any character at any level. It doesn't involve exploiting a broken game mechanic.

All of you may say what you want and sling your insults at me to defend your stance. It's an exploit, it's unfair and I don't support it. Am I in the minority here? Likely yes.

Lol your opinion on anything was irrelevant when you decided to farm scrubs in leveling brackets and leveled your other 19 hunter out.

Get your head out of your ass, I was in no way insulting you.

This is a movement to balance burst at low levels. Get with the program.

more like a movement to utilize unintended gear for one's benefit in the face of a public outcry against such activity

but then again this comes from a man who dared compare a tinkinfo denizen to the reverend doctor martin luther king junior

@ Gliiese Your grudge against me is irrelevant to this issue and just shows how narrow minded you really are. I suppose it's a lost cause trying to convince everyone that the gems are a positive thing for this bracket, but it'll just mean more pain for those when you come up against those who do have them.

Until Blizzard steps up to bat while wielding the Nef-Bat! WOOOOOOOOOSH!

Does that mean you're going to take your gems into the exp-on brackets the next time you feel like farming kills? Maybe there's an add-on that will alert you when you're about to reach the level cap for experience so this time you won't forget to turn it off before you level out again.
