Good can i get a curve now ? Is it pug friendly or boosters still need gold ?

3

i pug it every week, so skill issue?

but its ok thats its now more easy, plus the mythic nerfs for p3 are funny, when p1 is the hardest phase on mythic :dracthyr_lulmao:

at least my guild can be done with this bad raidtier

extra note…funny that you dont nerf coiled altar which is by far harder than ulatek

guilds progress 2-4 weeks on coiled altar and on ulatek 1 week plus the coiled altar nerfs still dont work for the add spawn on p2, which is crazy

Try to get to PUG’s without achievement and let’s see how you fare. Some of us don’t have that luxury and community is known for gatekeeping. And i won’t give gold to boosters either.

you can do your own raid, its not behind a paywall (only the wow sub)

you mean to progress a hc boss week one, where one mistake wipes the raid, because you dont have the gear to mitigate it? yea its sad that not everyone can just ask the boss nice to give his loot in a chest or ask a npc to kill the boss for you like in delves.

no reason to invite someone, which didnt do the fight and there were week one pugs which did the boss after a few hours. You dont have the time? fine, but dont ask people to carry you for your lack of experience on this encounter.

This is not the good person answer you want, but thats reality.

boss too hard, damn booster :dracthyr_lulmao: i love the logic jump

Gold boosters are conmen making their own raids and inviting a sucker or two to be carried while the rest are oblivious they’re being used to boost someone.

Or did you honestly believe raid boosters have 20+ people on standby for a meagre 400k split between them?

Mythic boosting might be more legitimate, as IDs are unique, typically done by guilds with a spot or two to spare.

That’s a huge nerf.

A part of me is sad because we weren’t far off last time and it’d feel like a greater achievement. On the other hand, I’ll be happy to be done with AotC.

there are endboss boosts, where legit ~20 ppl just wait for the next customer. I did this in bfa, its really easy gold.

9

Oh yeah, let’s give Curve and Cutting Edge away before everyone starts playing WoW Forever. Why not just put the loot box there right away?

No reason to invite a new player to a group in order to get experience?

That’s the exact definition of hate and gatekeeping towards new players who are trying to learn the game, doesn’t have a guild and don’t have courage to create own group. Just because you got guild to back you up doesn’t make you better player in Blizzards eyes, you’re just one paying customer like me.

That’s not how it works…

A hc boost involves something like 6 clears or kills an evening and maybe even more.

Each boost usually has 5 or so or more folks being boosted.

That’s how we did it.

And the evening can net individuals 400K per booster. At least this is what it was some 6 years ago.

leading definition of gatekeeping btw

people dont want to reprogress a boss every week, just because of a few new people, which didnt have time or smth else

There are so many sources to learn. You can open a dungeon jornal ingame. You can watch kill vids on yt. You can look at logs. You can read a guide on the site or creator of your choice.

I have to lift my own weight in the guild and when i f up, then i get replaced too.

yep and you can do the same as me, i am no genius, god or extraordanaire. Just getting informations and react on them. I hope you do the same in real life, if you want smth.

You can start your own learning raid too. I see no gatekeeping here. Sounds more like you want to get carried, by people with xp/gear.

These are some wildly early mythic nerfs. HoF isn’t even closed.

And as the same paying customer, i have the right to chose who i play with, the same way you do. You don’t have a right to join my +18 key, or a HC grp i start, the same way i dont have a right to join what ever group you might start.

You are welcome to think as that as gatekeeping, i frankly don’t care.

But i get to chose what kind of players i play with, and i prefer like minded people.

That aside, here’s the thing, you can still get into pug’s with no experience, you just can’t get into the experienced groups that just go for the quick weekly clear.

You just have to join the groups that are also learning, and have to accept a quite a bit of wiping, as you build up experience you can then easier get into better groups, and on it goes.

It’s the same way you get to CE, you start clearing normal, then move to HC, get some logs, get into a low tier mythic guild, get a few more logs, move on to a mid tier mythic guild, get more logs, then you might move on to a CE guild. It takes time, and dedication. But 100% possible if you’re willing to put in the effort. But if all you want is a quick kill, not willing to put in the work, you’re gonna be stuck where you are.

As someone who in the past have boosted both in M+ and a bit in raids, it’s not 1-2 people you’re boosting, it’s more like 10. So the split si quite a bit more than your alledged 400k.

I have no doubt there are scam grps out there, but most join a boosting community, and you just sign up for the boosts you can do. There’s no secrect rocket science behind it. But yet you have no clue it actually works :rofl:
