Same with the skilling events ...I thought that the idea was a community of adult players who would support each other...that brutal competition and one-up-manship were secondary to just playing the game...
Now it seems that the basis for upping the requirements is that players less than 110 would "hamper" the success of the events? I do not get that....seems kinda uppity....I know that I will certainly reconsider attending any tougher events because I may lack the "experience" you are looking for and certainly do not want to hinder ya'lls time....I was under the mistaken impression part of what made this a successful clan and community was that we shared knowledge and supported each not judged each others worthiness in the game...
I guess I don;t really understand the raising the "bar"...I have several adult players who are interested in joining but work full-time and cb lvl 100 is gonna be a big thing for them....I remember when I got cb 100...it took me over a year....
I see your point widget, however my biggest argument against it is simple, there are several adult clans, we are the only one with such high requirements. The idea of the clan was to fill a niche, a niche for people wo wanted to be in an adult clan, but also take part in the events that the other adult clans cant really do, or at least do as often, because they are full of such varied and low levels.
We are a clan the whole point of the requirements isnt to make people feel bad because they have low levels, or to make other people superior, its so we can be active and hold those events. we could easily remove requirements completely. But then we would be like every other adult clan out there, we fill a niche and I feel we are extremely active, compared to the other clans because of it.
of course the main point of this place is that its adults only, but its an adult only clan, unlike the rest which are just communities.. no doubt great places to have a chat, or to add a few extra adults to your list. But the philosophy of KoA is that of a clan, and all clans have restrictions of some kind, that is what makes them a clan and not a community. (please dont miustake me saying koa is a clan not a community, to mean that we dont have a strong community, we have and I believe stronger than the so called communities. I mean it more in the sense, that we are not just a forum).
Raising the bar is nothing about making you feel like you hamper anyone, but about being active with events and the like. raising the bar is about making sure that people are within simular levels ranges.
also sadly I dont mean it to cause offence to anyone, but the combat and skill requirements do to a certain extent filter on adults.
....i plan on gettin my cb lvl up soon, but not til i get fishing cape
