@i_am_in_mensa but in those games i think only archeage tera and new world had insane chinese players, but the west was usually in contention for endgame content if not ahead of the east in all games mentioned
@i_am_in_mensa to endgame, osrs destiny 2 (forsaken-era) eso (~2018) and new world on release
to early/midgame, ffxiv (up to stormblood) archeage (~2017), tera (~2017 as well) and wow classic (stopped around lvl40 or so)
few other various ones i picked up and dropped but thats the majority
@i_am_in_mensa yeah makes sense. osrs content speedruns got way faster as they got made more accessible and id assume its the same general concept for other similar games
@i_am_in_mensa as for “best” being more about grinding or skill being more desirable, player skill >>>> grinding. depends on the game/content as well ig, but in my experience i’d much rather play with a more skilled player in a world first race than one who can grind 40 hrs straight
@i_am_in_mensa it obviously depends on the game, but for games with a significant playerbase in east and west, west tends to perform a bit better afaik. might need a chinese wow lore demon to correct me on that though, not too familiar with stuff pre-2015 or so
