Because I’ve noticed some 5/10m people are mediocre. Should I look for at least 8/10m now when I collect puggers?
I’ve been in a few below average guilds that cleared 5/10M SoD. Yes, you need to aim at least 8/10M. These guilds were wiping on very basic mistakes that decent players would not fail on.
Yes, every mythic raiding guild that hasn’t killed Mythic Sylvanas by now are pretty bad and average, you shouldn’t invite below 10/10 if you want to clear it with your pug group.
Though gl finding players that are 10/10 going on pugs instead of with their own guilds.
Maybe their alts would like to join?

No idea, how much is 10/10 boost?
My guild is planning to kill Sylvanas mythic earliest during next expansion, depending on how soon the raid becomes soloable. So with Sylvanas mythic kill as a measure we are indeed a bad guild.

I saw Pieces boost a hunter for 10/10 Mythic and he paid around 9 million gold.
In case this isn’t just a bait thread and you are looking for genuine advice: look at logs. Seriously. At least for DPS. They’ll tell you how much mechanical awareness and grasp of their dps rotation someone has. It’s a great way of weeding out those who got carried through their content (either paid boost or dragged along by their stronger guildmates), one that is often overlooked. When you are being elitist and want the best of the best for your group, look at logs. I would take a curved DPS with straight golden logs over a 5/10M who can barely scrape some green ones.

Apparently the first 5 mythic bosses are fairly easy this tier.
Good players are probably already done so you’re gonna have to do with what’s left.
So ~30 tokens. Might be a good deal.
Pugging is almost impossible for deep into SoD. They unlocked crossrealm, but they kept the lockouts unique so no OP players will join you if they may also go with their guilds.
Is it, though? Paying around 600 euros for just some gear that becomes irrelevant with the very next patch and mog-farmable not that long after + a cutting edge achievement does not sound like a good deal for me. I get the idea behind pricey boosts for very prestigious stuff that goes unobtainable after like rank1 arena titles, but… cutting edge? No one’s going to care about a random mythic end-boss 3 years from now even in the slightest. No one’s ever going to notice, unless you link the achievement to every other person you run into or they specifically inspect you to look for that.

Paying to get an achievement is worse than a loss, it’s worse than not doing it. It means you confirm you are useless at doing the content yourself.

I’m getting mixed signals here. Title is asking if guilds that haven’t killed Sylvanas are bad, content says some 5/10 people are mediocre, and asks if you should look for at least 8/10… what kind of answer are you expecting?

I meean… when there’s interesting, unique rewards in a piece of content and you want to get those for your collection despite not having too much interest in the content, that could be a valid reason to get yourself a boost. If I had nothing better to do with money, I’d probably buy a rank1 arena title to run around with until the rest of my days myself. It’s just that mythic raids do not have much in terms of these sorts of rewards.
600 euro might seem a lot, but depending on RL wage it might be quite affordable. At 20 euro/hour it’s just 30 hours in contrast of 150+ hours for progressing the raid.
I just think it makes sense for myself to be “serious about not being serious about gaming”. I mean that if I’m playing a game: I’m playing a game; that means I’m going to achieve things in it only if I can achieve things in it myself and if I pay with real money it’s absolutely not that (though I personally include gold in that myself even I know how to make gold because I find that it violates the hierarchy of those that do it more legitimately).
If it was real life: and doing something depended on something I can’t do because of lack of skill or interest then paying makes sense to me; but it’s a video game; I am disgusted that I “would take it that seriously to the point of caring to force an achievement” when that’s not a game’s role in my life.
See. There’s the beauty of WoW. It supports a plenty of different styles of play and everyone’s own approaches to finding their own endgame! If someone is simply after collecting stuff, then it is of no issue to them that they aren’t skilled/dedicated enough to get that PvP elite set they like. They want the mog that will go unobtainable, so they’ll pay someone else to help them get that.
Yeah, that’s why I used the phrasing “for myself” a lot in there. I understand it’s subjective and I respect that but I wanted to explain why I’m disgusted myself doing it any other way.
