In my free time, I like to collect some transmog for my characters. I recently attempted Mythic BoD, in a full Transmog run. First three bosses went fine. Then we get to Opulence. And we wipe a few times. Then a bunch of players leave. I didn’t think anything of this. I kept going, hoping to get some in the raid, but nobody would come to fill the spots.
Then I leave because nobody is joining. I decide to join another group. Starting from Mekkatorque. I get in the group, enter the raid, then I’m kicked out because I’m ‘Locked out’ from the raid. Which makes no sense? This is a raid everyone has outgeared, and it still has lockouts? what is the logic behind this?
It’s disconcerting that not only does one item drop per wing of the raid (Which incentivizes someone to leave once they get a drop before the big brain bosses). It also doesn’t encourage anyone to bother learning the raid. The gearing system in raids is flawed. Sure, someone can leave right after getting a piece of gear, but it’s still a poor justification for what is a waste of time. And in my case, a broken raid. Because now nobody is going to join my ‘From Opulence’. And as far as I’m aware, I have no way of skipping to Jaina for the mount.
Edit: Just discovered I can’t join raids on the same boss. It says ‘You are already locked to Battle of Dazar’alor (Mythic)’. This is terrible game design.
Edit 2: Yet another telling sign of poor game design. You can invite players to this raid, AND LOCK THEM OUT TO THE SAME RAID. YOU CAN TROLL SO MANY PLAYERS WITH THIS. HOW WAS THIS NOT PATCHED?
