That's the point where i disagree. Elitism is a byproduct of being a prick.
I am not one of the people looking for instant gratification. It's good that there is some high-end content that is only available after a certain time and investment in the game. That's not a reason to grow an attitude though. Running missions (and Incursion are pretty much just missions with beefier enemies) isn't actually difficult. The accomplishment lies in spending the time, the skillpoints amassed on your character. But not personal skills like that would be the case for let's say highend industrialists, traders, corp-/allyleaders or other types of characters that are heavily into metagaming. Invested time X is just a value that everyone can reach, even completely AFK. It's nothing that one can be proud of or that can be used to justify the kind of attitude that many incursioners displayed in the threads of the last weeks.

Cut that brony shit out. This isn't the WI. Forums.

Then again, I'm playing WoT, so maybe it is.

Things i did today:

* got home from work
* found a weeks old post from me because it got a space-like
* found out that some guy bumped my post and simultanously showcased my point. (x3)
* felt smug


okey dokey lokey, my mission here is done.

My siren's name is Brick and she is the prettiest.
