I hope everybody remembers the thing where if some people do something, it still does not apply to everybody. I was not there at the time of this event nor would I condone it as I try multiple times to swap with enemies when there is an obvious lvl stack, but I what I actually want to know, what the thing is that gets people the most: Is it that the clan Rydr itself stacking the lobby or that these members happen to have high levels while stacking the lobby, a lobby which everybody can leave if nobody has the intention of balancing it out? Nobody can say that Rydr was the first to do this, nor will Rydr be the last, and of course that is no excuse to stack the lobby to begin with, but that would not be the question I am asking.
Regarding the obsession with big numbers / Achievement farming: I can't speak for my fellow clan members, but if I cared enough to farm achievements or if I was obsessed with high numbers, I would have been max level on everything months or even a year ago. As far as I can tell people only notice these "farmers" the most, because they otherwise are not of enough interest, and why would they be of interest? A complete stranger that a oneself has no intention of suddenly making friends with can barely be of interest to oneself until they say something that hits a nerve, than they are the root of evil and everything associated with them must be the same. Back to this short topic, there are not nearly enough people in Rydr that are obsessed with big numbers or else you would really see it.
By the way, for the clan commendations to get to that high number it only took the dedication and determination of, I think, two of our members? Nobody forced these upvotes onto anybody, verbally over the internet it is not possible. The thing with clan commendations could be as simple explained as "the basics of marketing advertising".
I would like to act against that "stacking lobbies for achievements" thing, but it is a decision that players made themselves and they also apparantly want to play together, nothing wrong with that. In fact, one could even blame Muse's matchmaker or the low playerbase that does not allow for better balanced lobbies and the players themselves could be blamed for this too, if they really wanted truelly balanced lobbies. I have hundreds of "high levels" added on my friends list and see it everytime in custom matches that they are all scattered in different lobbies, none of them making the effort in creating a balanced lobby by inviting other high levels or waiting for them to finish their game and then join (maybe some of them don't have the time to do so and just want to play a few normal matches instead of organizing only one or none super match, that is ok).
Regarding Mr.Disaster's post that started (unnecessary?) uproar, I would like to state the following for future references: Try not to post negative stuff about people, at least in this thread.
This thread was free of negativity for so long and if it is going to be used to hate on people or an entire clan, which is not a human being, then I would also have a bunch of stories, like many others, to add to this. Examples would be people or a group of people that are in the same clan acting unsportsmanlike by switching ships at the last second (in competitive environment), trolling or generally unable to handle any sort of logical problem solving, hating, harrassing other people and much more, but that, I believe, was never the point of this thread. So let's not start doing that either, please.
If anybody thinks I am wrong or would like to hate more or instead have a simple discussion about it, because it is of their interest, I would invite them to send me a personal message, which can be send to multiple people if a group decides to come together to strengthen their voice. Unless, of course, they deem it as absolutely necessary that everybody sees the continuition of this discussion, I cannot stop them. Normally I would say "make another thread out of this", but I suppose that some forum moderaters would remove it when it comes to personal attacks.
