Zenistar and MR (Hacker?))

[(XBOX)onehngloe]

So I'm a MR 10 and received a Zenistar for my log in reward a while back  and that's great. 

Why is it that I get called a hacker or get questioned about it like I did something wrong ?   Wish I was a hacker ild have more than just a Zenistar.

because your MR is super low for having played so long... relative to MR grinders. 

especially since it's expected to be at least MR16 for the riven MR lock cap.

Probably because they think it's MR locked and you're a low MR which it isn't locked behind MR. Just ignore them.

Other players are probably just jealous. It's best to just ignore them.

Because people think that MR = Long game time, and it is more easy to spit acid when you are proven wrong, instead of admitting it.

Grats on the weapon!

Jealousy and envy, plain and simple.

For a while I thought I was given this by mistake then I did some research and alls well . If they would ask I would tell them the why I don't level up or the actual can't , I get dizzy jumping around and trying aim at specific targets while in motion  .  That or it's just beyond my expertise . Don't know if that makes sense but it is what it is.

You don't need to justify your MR to anyone. Play the game as you want and do the tests if you want. As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters.

The Zenistar is only obtained after logging in for 300 days, some people just think you would be MR20 by then.

And see this is the problem with the Mastery system, it does not accurately display a player's experiance and time spent into the game. You could stay MR1 forever if you wanted and simply not be able to do some things, but it is an option.

MR is nothing more then grind of fodder items  , it dosnt equate skill ,

my friend has played as long as me  and only recently became mr 11 , im currently mr 22   , we started at same time : /

so just take it how you will

Zenistar is fun in defense missions though :)

MR9, nearly 500 days on the login reward

Because people judge quickly and base their opinions on mastery rank when they shouldn't. Really... it's just a number that tells how many weapons you leveled and that's it.

True, but people's brains work that way.  It's primitive, yes but that's the whole "First impressions" thing in a nutshell.  What's the first thing you notice about players as you are all starting a mission (aside from if their fashon frame is on point!) ... a number, next to their icon on the right.  It's noticeable, it's easy.  It's basically information junk food and just like Junk food... it can be nice once in a while but it really isn't all you should have in your diet.

People dont stop and think oh he has played for 300 days they just  think oh he's a hacker thats peoples nature for you they jump to conclusions far to fast,,

[Avynire]

Of course most tenno are hackers, otherwise we cannot do spy, rescue, or open locked door.

I wish the only way MR can be seen is when looking at an in-game Profile.

Is there any reason to have it display, when in a match? I can't think of any good reason to have that little number on the player icons, pugging or otherwise, so I wonder if any can be thought of.

Another one for the 'Mastery Rank Discrimination' thread.

Honestly, outside of Trading (so you waste your time trying to trade MR Locked weapons), and MR 1 through what... 3?  There is no reason.  Most people should know how to play the game by MR4.

in those cases, trading MR locked items, seems like one of the few uses for that and should crop up in the trade kiosk, and we can still take a moment to check profiles as players chat.
