I get rejected by Freehold +10 key holders everyweek while I have +12 upgraded to +14 rofl.
I add people who reject me to my ignorelist and don’t invite them to my keys in return.
When I started playing BfA in 8.1 I didn’t know anything related to mythic plus, in Legion I didn’t do mythic keys. Then I started with my guild at first, then started farming +7 +8 +9 Freehold and got used to mechanics. 2 months later I was able to easily overcome +14 and +15 keys when majority was barely doing +10.
God thats pathetic, theres dozens of people signing up. You’re just another anonymous name on a list. The fact that you take personal affront is hilarious.
I’m a little surprised how much trouble people claim to have with getting into Normal raids. For me it hasn’t been a problem at all and I don’t have curve.
In fact, I wish the average raid group was a bit more strict because there’s usually a lot of people who don’t know the first thing about the raid encounters.
You could join a guild and do the raid with them first, and then start joining pugs, when you actually do have the experience of a few clears. In the same aforementioned guild, you could potentially find other players to play mythic+ dungeons with, or heck, even arenas and rated battlegrounds. Ima let you in a little secret: that’s how most people get their raid and dungeon clears, by first doing them with their guild. Why is that? Because those people in the guild have incentives to be patient with you, to teach you even if you don’t know something, because they will play with you again and again and again, so they end up benefiting from you gaining experience. PuGs don’t.
I am a nice tank. But i do not tank in PUGs because the tank experts get to my nerves; but then again even on my guild main raid, when people start acting as tanking experts I just sit there staring the boss and ask if they want to try tanking themselves.
As for the rest, yeah, the state of the community is pretty sad, and even more from a new player perspective. Wow has become a very closed game. That’s why a guild is probably your best bet, go make some friends or at least acquintances who will get something out of playing with you. Make bonds, it’s a mmorpg.
Start your own group and… Don’t invite tanks??? Oh wait bad idea. Maybe just be the tank? I don’t know. But I wouldn’t come tank your raid after you said these things because you hurt my feelings
You could have started like 20 own groups in 8 hours
There are so many good people in this game I have met via the forum and ingame aswell .
One of my best friends is part of a Community on alliance side SoD she is the type of person I enjoy being part of my life .She has a busy home life and job like many do and she comes online and helps so many others .Please don’t think the whole community is bad because of a few there are so many good people you have yet to meet .
Fair enough, you do you I guess…
Personally when I commit to a group, I stick with them until we succeed or we quit…
But I must admit I chuckle a bit to myself when someone leaves after a wipe or several, then we immediately kill the boss on the next try…
I remember one guy, back in Uldir I think this was. After we wiped 5 or 6 times on one of the bosses, the guy who shot blood throughout the room that had to be soaked.
He wrote in the raid chat “You’re never going to do this…” then left…
Next try, everything went perfectly and we proceeded
Sadly this happens in every mmo. There are always people who demand others to have cleared the content before joining, and hilariously sometimes they have not done it themselves.
Again this happens in every mmo. Too often people want to point fingers instead of directly addressing the problem by explaining something someone clearly misunderstood.
Some mechanics are frankly difficult to explain in text. They can take way too long, or pinning the right words to a description isn’t easy. Watching a video gives you both an explanation as well as a visual reference. This means less time is wasted on explanations as well as wipes. Even if you don’t remember everything from the video remembering some things is far more useful than knowing nothing.
Things go more smoothly if everyone goes in with some idea as to what the fight requires. And everyone likes smooth raids.
Well if people are making mistakes that are easily avoided by watching a video…I can see why they would leave.
They had ppl tell them stuff is bad in ptr, they didnt care and went with it live, ofc alot of ppl are pissed, and this Asmongold blaming is the most childish thing ever wtf…
well the community wouldn’t need so high requirements if that community wouldn’t be too stupid to press 3 buttons.
honestly, did you ever run a +2-5 mythic dungeon with inviting blindly anybody that shows up?
The result is disturbing. You find 430 ilvl players that do 15k dps overall the dungeon etc.
And you are wondering why people start asking for 800 rio for a +5???
you can always form your own grp to push and get the prerequirements.
I farmed my RIO almost exclusively by forming my own grps. Takes almost no effort (apart from getting out of the low key pit till you reach at least +8)
