I have noticed a trend in people leaving Hibernia for another realm.
What is your reason?
Me? Group gatekeeping. Too many elitists refusing to invite a melee/ranger. Refusing to invite a healer because they demand "druid only".
It just is no fun. I was in a group as an enchanter. We had 3 bombs, 2 healers, 2 animists, and 1 open spot. Numerous melee, tanks, and rangers lfg. However, the group leader refused to invite them. We were killing just fine and remained a 7 man because the leader has this deep seeded elitism that will only allow a 4th bomb or a druid specific for the 8th spot.
I have since moved to a different realm and while the elitism is still there, it is far less than Hibernia.
Who thinks having only eldritches, enchanters, druids, bards and animists is great for lvl 50 rvr?
The same goes for BGs. Too many elitists who refuse to invite certain classes. I was the bard in our group of 5. A hero was lfg, a BM, ranger, NS, all over a period of 20 minutes but the leader refused to invite them because "they aren't what they wanted for their leet 8 man". He kept yelling at me for not using speed song because I wanted everyone there to fight together and us not outrun them as they tried to stay with us.
I ended up leaving the group and started my own, full of NS, ranger, melee and any else who wanted to join.
I really like the server. The nostalgic experience and the fun. I just am quickly growing tired of this elitist leveling trend to rush rush rush and exclude any who may even slightly impede on your mad dash to 50 or "ideal pvp group".
I play to socialize, be challenged, and have fun. Pressing "3" (my pbaoe spell) over and over while being yelled at to be faster to bomb when mobs come in is not fun. This why I stopped playing my enchanter at 41.
I find the funnest leveling experience 1-20. People are generally a lot more open about inviting any class unless a healer is absolutely needed. Even then, duplicate healers are fine as long as we stay alive.
This is why I left Hib.
