Treatment of Rank 5 Players

After recently ranking up from r4 to r5 AtWar has become a game I can effectively, no longer play. The treatment of rank 5 players (and in some cases rank 6 and 7) in the main lobby is horrible, its been days sense ive played a game without being kicked for not being a higher level considering I can no longer play in the beginners lobby. For example: I joined a WWI game the other day, and after being kicked for choosing countries I would actually enjoy playing (Nothing crazy, Ottoman Empire and Italy) I decided to be more subtle in choosing my countries in a desperate attempt to be overlooked and play a game. I ended up choosing Serbia and before the game even started 3 players had complained that "Rank 5 in this game is a joke" and I was kicked within minutes of joining.
After seeing the kind of treatment that midrank players recieve ive observed that the majority of the AtWar community is simply garbage. Its hard to join any lobby without being told to leave, getting kicked, or being called a noob or any other names. Im tired of being kicked from every game i try and join for simply existing, no matter how small of a country I pick. I will admit there are many people who are sympathetic to low levels, but I still can't play any games short of a Europe+ game. Scenario games are simply impossible, people can't get better to play with you if you don't let them play. Something needs to be done and to that I say this.
It dosent matter if one player on your team is a weak link, a quick game at most will last an hour, one game, one hour out of the hundreds of games you will play has little effect on you, but how you react has negative effects on the people who are just trying to learn the game, if you don't like a rank 5 on your team than you can leave, don't hurt the people who want to play the game. Something needs to change.

Take care buddy.

Yeah I've never objected to that and I'm obviously not saying rank 3s should take on rank 9s. What I mean is I object to the three lobby issue because of the gap it'd make between high ranks and those low ranks interested in competition. The former quote was just responding to a specific point you made.

I promoted this because firstly I thought it was hilarious, second it applies to where I'm at right now in AW, and third because I love this game and it's shitty community too. This forum post is still relevant to struggling R5's like me, this isn't my first account and every time I've made it to this rank is when I stopped playing, but not this time.This forum is a beautiful piece of AW history

The issue is with this thread lies in the fact that most games hosted are TEAM based, whether it be scenario or competitive. The reason low ranks are treated so poorly is because if a low rank does poorly because they have no clue what they're doing it screws over the team and ruins the experience for everyone not just one person. The best way to combat this is by seeking out high ranks to train you to get better, then these good players can vouch for you in games and they'll let you start playing. This used to be a thing back in 2014, high ranks vouching for rank 6's and whatnot because they were actually competent but low ranks are gradually not as good as they were in the past, which is why they don't even get the chance. Again I believe you NEED to seek out these high ranks especially those with a name to vouch for you in games then there won't be an issue. Or you can just do what everyone else did and just rank up

I competely agree with the original post, its rare that mentors will mentor anyone lower than r7 and that's a ways away. What we need are more willing mentors who can help beginners to soar high above people who just dont try hope youre able to rank up quickly  :dcool:

More people are willing to mentor than you think, the issue is people don't seek out mentors, the people willing to mentor have to look for the people who want to be mentored. I looked for a mentor long ago and people were willing to help, you just have to make the effort to search for someone
