Hey, hey, hey, sheath those claws kitty cat. I don't think anyone here said anything about a "us vs them" scenario when it comes to Legacy and New players. And I'm pretty sure not a single person even mentioned having gear envy, or bashing of legacy players, but maybe I missed that post *shrug*Â
I know I mentioned Legacy players in one of my posts, and the point I was trying to make was that when your the new kid on the block (people like me) it can be hard to break into established communities/guilds. I played SWG for 7 years, and when we got new players we often heard the same thing about how it was sometimes hard for them to assimilate (borg!) with an existing community.
It's always hard for people to feel like they'll fit in with an existing group. I mean, you can always hope; but seeing how other people have histories and connections and then looking at your own brand new character stacks upon any already existing feelings of 'maybe I don't know enough lore' or 'maybe they won't like my character'. It's not anyone's fault-- but it remains a fact.
I think what some people might need to realize is, at this point, I'm pretty sure new people outnumber Legacy players. The only real drawback I've heard is that you might not get queues as fast because level 50s are level 50s and if you're lower-- Well, I don't have much of a problem because I'm leveling a tank, so I can't really say.
I hope no one said anything about anyone not liking anyone else because they've been playing longer. I'm sure it's just -not- the case amongst RPers. There's a plethora of reasons you might find yourself not liking someone else, and maybe a few of them -seem- like they occur more frequently in people who've been around longer, I don't really feel that's the case. If anyone feels that way, they're likely feeling very insecure and they should be treated gently, not defensively.
