There is nothing in the game that is forcing you to just farm Chests so I don't get why people are bent out of shape.

Well it's a hack-and-slash ARPG. Chests and breakables should be fun when they are in ADDITION to killing monsters. The problem is when they become a complete replacement... the game stops being an ARPG. It becomes a game where you just find the best path to open chests. So, like I said, this game isn't called "Chest Hunt 3." The FOCUS of the game is not opening chests. When people make opening chests the FOCUS of the game then they change it up because that was never the intended focus of ANY game in the genre... ever.

I'm not sure how that's a complex concept. There is a general framework upon which the game is built. One of the pieces of that framework is that the focus of the game is killing monsters. Opening chests is not killing monsters. Complicated, right?

It's not complicated at all. I kill monsters and find loot. I never did a chest run. Some other people did. So how did that become a replacement for the game? it didn't. Did you do chest runs when you heard about them just because other people were doing them? I don't care how someone else plays this game. It has ZERO affect on my play experience. It's a single player ARPG, there is not PVP or any competiton. With no competitive aspect to this game it shouldn't bother people if someone played the game differently then they do.

Did the game force you to farm chests? No it didn't.
Did your individual play experience change because others fared chests? No it didn't

So the Game is still FOCUSED around killing monsters. There are just some people that want to play differently. I don't get why that is just a hard thing for others to understand.

You see this statement thrown about all the time "it's how I want to play and it doesn't affect you at all". The only problem is...yes it does. This game became a player competition the first time Blizzard added viewable player profiles. Almost everyone looks at them, and yes, you are all comparing your characters to their's. Yes, even without any form of sanctioned competition, the game is full of players vying for the top spot...who has the best gear?...who has the most paragon levels?...who is rocking a full set?.

So yes, how you play does affect everyone else. If the game didn't have the "showing off" factor, it would have been dead in a month or so.

I know stating this won't make people stop trying to use that argument, but is shows how silly it is.

Mind what Bagstone said about applications. They will not be on a first come, first served basis. Post it when you can.

Also, no need to post any messages requiring to be reinvited in this thread, as these won't be used (we want to focus everything on a single thread).

Third, some of the more active people on the past 2 weeks, that we've seen forming groups and chatting, have a very high chance of not being removed from the clan on the wipe. The intent is not to remove the players who have been using the clan, just the majority of inactive, isolated players who are not really using the clan for anything.

Quote from ErogeGamer

how active do you have to be ? lm on almost every day but l play self-find/solo play is my slot in the can gone now because l like solo play more then g-play ?

We won't require that you're forming groups with the clan ALL THE TIME, that would be really stupid. Players sometimes wanna do their own thing, sometimes they want to play with other friends. But in general, the idea here is that we want the clan to be a great place for players to easily group up with others,even when their friends are not online. And we can't have that if 90% of the members are always farming on their own, can we? =|

Farming together is faster, benefits hugely from the Strenght in Numbers buff, allows people to trade legendaries, and is most of the time a more enjoyable experience that allows for some cool skill combos. So we really want clan members to make a conscient effort in playing coop with clanmates.
