How is it that starters having their own sub-forum will lead to players being more toxic?
When level 20 twinking meant starter, this section was one of the less dramatic on TI. P2P twinking at 19 and 24 were the sections filled with drama with the players with horseshit attitudes.
Those were the same players who spent their time /spitting while they GY farmed with their guilds every night.
So no, not all P2Ps are toxic. Not all of them ruin what would otherwise be an excellent gaming experience. Not all of them believe that their dominance comes from skill rather than gear.
But most of them do.
That's the problem. Obviously the issue has become more complex with many F2Ps transitioning to Veteran. That is what it is, and the bracket cannot help that. The very least that can happen is that the few remaining starters get their own place to communicate with each other, since they are now the minority in the level 20 bracket.
There are natural divisions in-game that suit themselves well to divisions on the forums. It is the choice of starters to have our own section. It is not your decision to exclude us from having one.
So please enough of this "starters spread hate" bullshit. That's asinine - some people are going to be toxic, just as some p2ps will be as well. That has no bearing on whether or not the communities as a whole should be separated.
The differences have always outweighed the similarities - and if starters (or veterans) need more players to make an event happen, they can easily shoot a message to the respective forum or send a message on the many skype groups.
You would know that if you had been active in this bracket over the past 4 years like I have, friend. But thank you for, what was it again? Being one of the first on AP years ago? That's uh, cool. How many 10v10s have you organized? How many tournaments have you organized? How many arenas have you put together amongst a handful of a declining community at 2 in the morning? How have you been a leader?
