After being rejected by PUG groups for four hours because itās MDI and I play a Beast Master that is not META, Iām finally accepted in a Lair of Neltharion +17.
A quick glance to the RIO infos of the other members of the group tells me they have around 1800-2000 M+ score, they are all main characters.
Monk as a Tank, Paladin as a Healer, 2 Fury Warriors.
First facepalm : the Fury warrior with an iLVL of 428 in a +17 keystone has only a single two-handed weapon equiped.
Second facepalm : the other Fury warrior with a very nice transmog has indeed two two-handed weapons, both at iLVL 411 from the Aberrus raid, but his total iLVL is 397.
Third facepalm : the Monk has an iLVL of 420, speeds around leaving puddles of acid everywhere, but never comes back to generate threat on the burrowing mobs of the first trash pack.
96 minutes of nightmarish hellscape followed, the two warriors stayed in every puddle of avoidable damage and fell like flies swatted with a bazooka, my pets snatched the aggro several times from the Tank, the only player who knew what he did was the Paladin, that did truly heroic efforts to try to heal everyone by jumping on his indoor horse to zoom between the two Warriors while still managing to keep generating holy power.
āOnlyā 7 deaths until we reached the last Boss ā¦ all from the Warriors and Paladin.
Then comes that nasty last Boss with his Big Add buddy, walls of cristal, puddles of magma, but we have 10 minutes left on the timer, all CDs are up, and while Iāve been grinding my teeth from the start I still have hope.
NOPE !
Again with the Monk tanking the Boss right beside, or even inside the magma pools, the two warriors stay in front of the boss AND inside the big brown vortex indicating the future eruption of massive stone spikes (and die, of course), the Paladin his still doing his āSupermanā routine of running everywhere trying to keep everyone alive ā¦
9 full group wipes against the last Boss.
The two warriors dodged exactly NONE of the magma waves, and they had the gall to tell me to stop pulling the big add towards the rock walls ā¦ while I was the last surviving member of the group trying to GTFO of damage zones to feign death and rez them with my Engineering gadgets ā¦ as a slightly less sturdy than a wet paper towel Beast Master !
I really wanted to open that chest even if the timer was out, because Iām still missing ONE finished M+ dungeon to unlock the third slot of my next Great Vault, but getting accused of failing to counter mechanics by people who died to them while I tried to save them was the proverbial straw that broke the camelās back and my patience.
Reported them for āinappropriate behaviour ~ trolling and key breakingā, left the group, stumbled on this thread to tell my story, and now Iāll go bash my head against a wall until I fall unconscious.
Iāve seen that kind of behaviour every day for 6 hours a day since the start of the āMDI pushā event, those sheople want to have META comps and āplay like prosā, but they totally ignore the glaring fact that said pros have played together for years and have voice coms, premade groups and trained teamplay.
Cherry on the cake ?
When I wanted to take 2 minutes to write about a āgame planā, I got told āmechanics are for noobs, just do damageā before the key was slotted in while I was still eating my food buff.
I indeed did damage, my usual 85K single target and 120K multiple targets on average over that whole ordeal ā¦ while the nearest behind me barely broke 20K ā¦
Iām way past unhappy or frowning, Iām seething with rage with a migraine starting to pound behind my eyes.
Pick Up Group has always been really hard, but itās getting to the point of not being playable anymore, and getting accused of making the mistakes the others did is completely infuriating.
What the Fātagn was an iLVL 397 Fury Warrior doing in a +17 ?
For Freyaās Sake, how did he manage to get a M+ rating of 2K ?
How in the Nine Circles of Hades is it possible for a Fury Warrior with a 2.2K RIO and an iLVL of 428 to have a single two-handed weapon equipped ?
If thereās a Higher Entity somewhere in the afterlife, when Iāll die theyāll have some serious explaining to do !
And after that, Iāll trash their very existence, and send them to play WoW in PUGhell with the less-intelligent-than-a-common-mussel people they created, just to rejoice in their suffering !
