Anyone who is still below 310 most likely does not have a lot of raid experience. Of course 310+ isn't needed for the raid or nightfalls, but neither was Gjallarhorn. The majority of the time , a 318 will be better than a 305. It's just common sense. The higher ranked player, is almost always more experienced. Stop whining that you got denied from a group. Make your own group. People are allowed to set standards for their groups. Edit- so much salt. People are missing the point. EVERYONE HAS A FEW RARE EXCEPTIONS. However, most of the time, the higher leveled character will be better. It's just common sense. People posting in #recruitment aren't going to sit around and hear your sob story about why you are still 307, but you can run relic like a champ. (Maybe you can). It's just not worth the risk when you can spend thirty seconds to pick up a few 318 players. Think before you comment. Edit 2: lots of confusion and insults. This post is not about me. I take low levels in all the time. I am just explaining why others don't. Edit 3: I'll try to make it more simple for some thick commenters. Take the 318 community, and take the 310 community. AS A WHOLE, who is a better group? Obvioulsy the higher leveled one. Maybe not 9/10, but that's not the point. The point is, if a player asks for 316+, he will [u]almost always[/u] get better players than if he had asked for 310+. This should be obvious [quote]I agree. I've had this same discussion with the same responses. People don't seem to get the point that a higher level player is on average going to be better than a lower level player. I don't know why this is so difficult to understand for some. Yes there are exceptions and special circumstances and individual cases that aren't this way. But over a large sampling, I expect this is the result you'd get. And even if it wasn't true, what else can someone go on for determining the ability of another player quickly. The light level is all there is. You can't take the time to quiz every new fireteam invitee or look up their player stats and evaluate them. So this is what happens.[/quote] Dadkev gets it. Very well said Lol all these people complaining about bad RNG. Ever here of challenge mode? There are no longer any excuses to be below 310 Too long to read: if you have a group of 10 players, 5 are level 310, 5 are 315+, and you know nothing about them, which five would you pick to raid with?
