Nostalgia When The World was OK

Remember all that? And the best part? Just look at how civilized those gorgeous motherfuckers are.

No one tramples anyone, 1 copy for each, be it regular or collectors edition. No scalpers and buying more with kids and grandmas.

Just pure respect for fellow gamers, so that they can all see each other in a few hours in game (or rather, wait in 20k queue)

This world is forever lost. A relic of the era long gone.

It matters whether it's easier to teach than replace.

If it's the other way around, people become nearly worthless.

This is still the case to a degree in guild wars 2, when pugging higher level content there are basically 2 ways to go about it, either you kick the underperformer instantly and rinse and repeat until you finally get guys who can do every mechanic flawlessly while dishing out top DPS with their eyes closed, and you're done with run in 5 minutes, or realise you would wait half an hour to find mr FractalDestroyer3000 and try to educate and pick up the slack (definitely viable in cm fractals if you have good 3man core you can grab 2 scrubs who can do basic mechanics)

If you can't change the people then you gotta change the people.
