😞 Something WoW Related That Made You Frown Today (Part 1)

Yesterday my 1st BE Warrior, playing in fury spec, got kicked out of a LFR.

After two failed attempts on Nymue.

The reason was, she was doing, less than 30k DPS, bad talents and bad gear.

In the 2 attempts, I received no heals and died right at the start. I replied: “It’s hard to DPS, when you are dead.”

I always copy my talents, from Icy-veins and even though, that build was probably a couple of months old, it shouldn’t had been that bad.

As for bad gear, the minimum ILV entrance, for that Raid was 424. It seems the attitude of Mithic+ of only wanting good gear, is slowly coming to LFR as well.

I would have understood, if I was purposely dying and going AFK to watch YouTube, but that wasn’t the case. I always try to pull my weight and the reason why, I didn’t, queue as a Tank, was because I wasn’t sure, my character could handle it, plus not being familiar with the tactics.

Hazelnuttygames YouTube channel, for boss guides, proved to be inefficient. The mechanics are not highlighted in the video.

I found Ready Check Pull, videos to be better.

After, I got kicked, I sent a whisper to the player, that started the argument and told him:

“I play 25 characters at level 70, you better prey, you don’t find them.”

I than checked this topic, about ignoring players:

According to EliquĂ­s:

“It already works like that, you ignore one and it ignore the whole account. I have tested it with a friend and unless its changed its been in game for over a year now.”

So I proceeded to block the two players, that were calling my character to be kicked out and a third one that wanted to have the lead so he could kick, the low DPS players.

I copy pasted all three names 29 times on my Horde characters (25 characters level 70 and 4 level 20) and I plan to to do the same, if I ever level up a Alliance character.

Hopefully, I will never be matched with those guys again.

My BE Hunter had gone, before my BE Warrior and she had no problems finishing, the LFR raid bosses, for her weekly vault. So it wasn’t like, it was my first time there.

I than proceeded to check, out of curiosity, how hard was to heal those LFR raids with the following characters:

No problems, whatsoever, in keeping people alive. I couldn’t do anything if people got 1-2 shot right at the start, but the players, still finished the fight and got to roll on the loot.

I got kicked with this character, on Volcoross Raid.

But it was deserved. I was trying to heal the Raid before we pulled with:

https://www.wowhead.com/spell=132157/holy-nova.

And that resulted in pulling the boss, in the second attempt.

I always trusted Icy-veins talents build. But lately it leaves my characters with weird builds. Like not having, a short on demand AOE spell, on my Priests, leaving them with only Holy Nova and:

The new talent tree, is a lot more complicated than the one, I was used to have in BFA, which makes it harder, when you are dealing with 25 characters.

Even so, I don’t think, I should need upgraded 8/8 gear and the best talents in the game, to clear LFR.

Tbh I find, taking short courses at my work, much more enjoyable, since I’m learning something useful.

There’s nothing useful about learning talent trees that can be changed, new raid bosses and mechanics. Because it all goes to the bin once it’s outdated.

Perhaps it’s time to call it quits, regarding exploring new expansions. It seems too much is required these days to perform the bare minimum in group content, even on LFR level.

I don’t expect to loggin and having the raid boss die instantly, but it seems everything is designed to piss people off, creating an environment where players (DPS), that are new to the raid get constantly kicked out.

I’ve seen this happening, while playing in healer role and it wasn’t funny at all.

However I admit some deserved it, like the one that was at the starting area, while the whole group was waiting and 2 other players that queued as healers but were actually playing as DPS. Needless to say, we ended up wiping, because we didn’t had enough healers.

Sorry for the long rant.

Cheers.
