I think that for someone new and ānot devotedā as you say, who just want to start getting into low keys and raids should not be too worried about having everything sorted out.
Remember that this game is a game based around a community, that is why guild and communities exist, because you will find player with more knowledge that help you grow.
That is why discord of the various classes exist, there are ton of people exchanging opinion 24/7 on every spec.
I agree that the game is not super friendly at start but Imo you should not see it as work that must be done alone.
I dunno, arenāt ladies supposed to swoon over statements like āmy raider io score is over 2500ā or āI got Gladiator last seasonā? Thank goodness I donāt need to try to impress ladies - my own rio aināt good enough for that!
You mean my tales about the Badger Sex Assassination plot, that time with the Wasp (We donāt talk about that) and the resultant knowledge as to the nature of Figs (a horrific betrayal in my eyes) and why Mungo Jerryās āIn the Summertimeā now fills me with dread were all in vain?
Unpopular opinion: Donāt flatter yourself - They donāt care about community, they want your money, so just give us a game that is easy to connect with people and fun to play. If people want to make permanent connections, they can continue to do so, there is nothing stopping you.
