Or you could just rank up. If you've been playing for years, you shouldn't have any issues fulfilling the easy and mostly-meaningless tasks it takes to get your Guardian Rank somewhere decent. As an elitist rank 11 Godslayer, who often dies to falling off cliffs and having large things land on my head, I prefer to invite people who work toward solving problems, rather than complain about them and expect someone else to solve them. The part where you think coming to the forums and making a cry post is a better use of your time than ranking up communicates to me that I'm right to filter my group applicants based on Guardian Rank, because it keeps players like you from joining.

    I've been 11 twice the first two seasons, my preference for spending my time is a lot of pvp and raids, doing mostly those things won't maintain my guardian and I'm not going to bother with a checklist system that's only real "challenge" is one of patience in a solo dungeon, or a challenge to your wallet if you have no pride and too much money. I wouldn't give 2 ****s about it existing at all if bungie didn't put it in the fireteam finder, where despite the fact I have more sherpas than most ppl have raids and more full clears than most ppl have attempts is somehow less important than a dude getting carried to guardian rank 10. Why don't we have built-in title requirements? The guardian rank system is effectively just an extension of titles, and everything above 6 is just a gilding requirement. What's the difference between asking for a rank 11 or someone with gilded flawless 5 or a flawless raid title? The only reason I bother hitting rank 9 every other season is so I can join raid posts I'm already overqualified for. It's just annoying because I don't care about it and all it does is make my experience worse in activities I do like if I don't play ones I don't. Letting us display our highest achieved or removing it from finder would fix the issue. Tldr: The guardian ranks an arbitrary and unreliable measure of skill and doesn't belong in fireteam finder, even less than a title requirement would.

  • Only 18 seals and 16k triumph score in 7 years ain't that "elite." Sorry, but your horse ain't that tall. GR is, in fact, worthless. I've had 11 every season since it was available, and it's done nothing for me. Ever. All it does is further divide players that rely on LFG to complete activites. The fact that this discussion is even happening is proof of that. It's just one more system in the game that has you checking boxes for no [i]real[/i] reason. If you are actually denying people on your FT based on GR, you're beyond ignorant. A friend of mine has solo flawlessed nearly every dungeon 69 times just for the laughs on the counter and is a rank 5.

  • I don't want your friend in my groups anyway, because they sound like the kind of person who will quit out at the first sign of a struggle. Players who decide that Guardian Ranks "aren't worth their time" tend to also decide that "solving the problem" isn't worth their time in the event that something goes wrong. They'd rather quit and find a different group. Or, y'know, just solo it in the first place. Which sounds like their usual MO anyway, so I don't know why you're bringing them up in a discussion about LFG and using Guardian Ranks as a filter.

Will make for some good comedic relief while we storm the Witness together.

  • Unless you can reach rank 11 without paying, not going to bother

  • The best part about your post is that you're assuming I didn't have fun getting Godslayer or rank 11. Sure the Warlord's Ruin solo was awful, but I had a really good time running Pantheon with my clan every week and getting gilded Conq and the like.

However, as I proved, Guardian ranks are a flawed way to prove actual skill in D2 (being guilded Conq at rank 7 and having higher scores than rank 11s in GMs a majority of times). It is an indicator; but never a baseline. Having fun is way more important than being a judgmental prude*

    Personally I’d prefer to play with people who play games to have fun but that’s just me

  • Sorry some of us have a life and realize making that number bigger is completely pointless. I have no reason to go past rank 7, because I have no desire to touch legendary campaigns in this game. I dont care, nor does it do anything for me....except make the number bigger. So why tf would I or anyone else sweat through some bs, just for a pointless number.

    The thing is that having a life is not an excuse. You either do it or don't. This a video game forum. No one cares about your real life here in a game that's made to be a time sink and a grind. Separate the two. Self worth and having a life has nothing to do with having fun in a game where you complete tasks at your own pace whether or not you play with others or not. Can we please stop saying this as if it matters? Tl:Dr: it's a video game. It ain't that deep homie. Play it to it's full extent of don't. Has nothing to do with having a life or not.

    Yes the hell it is a perfectly good reason. Im not coming home from work, just to sweat through pointless activities that dont give me anything I want, just to make the number get bigger...it doesnt mean anything. As I said elsewhere, I've seen more clueless players rank 8, 9 or higher, than I have lower ranked players...

    Then don't do them. Simple as. Also "I'm not coming home from work and.." Dude. No one cares. You're taking this like Bungie is personally slapping you in the face. No one cares that you're working your butt off but you and those physically around you. And that's how's it's supposed to be and that's ok. Just don't do them. It's just another thing for people to do if they want to. The thing is with a lot of people here, is that they get upset at Bungie for adding things to do in their time sink grindy game and then players think that BUNGIE is to blame for you not being able to get other things done. Like no. It's your personal life taking priority. That's ok. That's supposed to happen. It ain't that deep. Do it or don't.

  • The only one here taking this personally is you. All I said is I dont bother going higher than rank 7, because its pointless. You're the one who jumped in trying to claim thats just an excuse.... My rank doesnt stop me from playing the content I want to play so....theres no point. If anything, people who truly care that much about the ranks of others they play with, are the ones who improve at the game. That alone isnt an excuse, to not be able to fnish some content....

But preference in the content you take in. You brought up real life first. WHAT? If rank doesn't stop you doing the content you want to play, then you have already taken my advice. Why are you even complaining on here if it doesn't apply to you then? You're the one who said "I don't want to do it when I come home from work" and tell ME that I'M bringing up real life. What world are you living in? You talking about real life in your first comment like that was a reason in the first place. Did you remember you typed that or....?

  • Having a life has nothing to do with GRs though 😂 it’s just time played in the game. All the challenges are meaningless and easy to accomplish with a modicum of skill. Boohoo.
