40 minutes for 5 runed crests does NOT respect my time

Fix M+. Over timed keys - if you want us to stay and complete - need to give FULL CRESTS.

I ONLY joined a +4 to get some runed crests to upgrade my gear

33 deaths later, over 9 mins over time - taking 40 mins to do Necrotic Wake is INSANE!!!

And ALL I got for staying is 5 crests, WOOOOO…

No gear(don’t need anyway), nothing else of value, and only 5 crests instead of 12 when I ONLY joined it for crests

This is why M+ sucks.

When you do a raid for crests, you can wipe for hours on a boss, when you do down it, it doesn’t nerf the crest amount.

Or just get a butt load of the lesser crests and trade up. Better then killing yourself in M+

That doesn’t respect player time either

and I have 593 8/8 adventurer gloves so I can’t even trade up lol

33 deaths in a 4 is like 30ish too many even for learning folks. It isn’t the tyrannical week so even the dreaded 3rd boss isn’t nearly as bad.

Edit - No cap fr fr run heroic NP and even the first half of BRD. They throw runed crests at you and even a semi competent pug can handle 5 or 6 of 8 in NP and 3-4 of BRD.

Wasn’t bosses that got us. Was trash near beginning, wipe on 1st boss, that 1 pack before bridge wiped us like 3 times. We 1 shot the bosses aside from the 1st, but it was trash killing us and the healer affix

A bad tank will turn a dungeon into 45 minutes. Bad DPS will add to it.

Just had a guildie tank NW and he doesn’t tank, was an alt run. It was a complete disaster. The tank can soak up every single GCD and cooldown you have, like if I stopped healing the tank at any point it was a wipe, I started just letting the DPS die because I couldn’t stop healing the tank.
That’s what a bad tank will do to a group. I’m not sure if people are realizing it or?

M+ is the only content that rewards you for failure.

No it shouldn’t give full rewards on untimed keys

I mean, the answer isn’t to give the bads holding us hostage the same amount of rewards,… obviously…

The answer is to leave keys without blizz opening the floodgates for baseless degen reporting abuse.

But we’re not allowed to have that conversation, are we?

If you complete it, it isn’t failure. If you didn’t time it your key doesn’t get bumped up, but you didn’t totally fail if you stay to complete.

If they want people to not bail on keys, then this is the solution, cause expecting us to waste 40 mins+ for nothing aint the answer, just turns me off from wanting to login.

If you don’t like how untimed keys work, then time your keys.
And if a key isn’t able to be timed, then leave.

You making the choice to stick around in a key doesn’t make others not respect your time. Not to mention that “respecting player’s time” is one of the most out-of-context quotes used.

We wouldn’t be having any conversation if the game just dropped more crests. They take forever to get.

Yeah I am not risking being reported by being the 1st to leave. Nobody else left either, think they were all afraid to be the 1st one to leave.

Why not?

The key op described is a key that they probably should have left. Sounds like it was an awful experience

The people who were banned were players who were purposefully ruining keys with the malicious intent of doing so.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveWoW/comments/1h0qvmz/blizzard_bans_mythic_leavers_intentional/

Beyond that we have threads on for an example Reddit where they outline that the people who were banned are people who have left hundreds of runs … just to ruin the dungeon. There’s worlds apart in terms of folks who just left the group for a reason, and those who left for no other reason than to purposefully grief the team.


You wouldn’t be reported for leaving a key on the basis that it wouldn’t be timed. This thing you referencing being yet another example of something people take out of context.

These type of runs are the only runs I used to leave, ones that were bad and full of lots of early deaths and that wouldn’t time. But then they had to say that we’ll be punished for it so now I suffered through the torture

?
I don’t know why blizzard made a news release about people getting reported for leaving keys anastasi…

If you’re leaving one or two keys that you think aren’t going to be timed, that’s one thing, they aren’t going to bat their eyelashes twice for that. It’s leaving 9/10 of them over and over that’s going to raise red flags. I mean come on this is not rocket science really.

Can you link your source that doesn’t exist?
I’ll wait. :coffee:

If all you run is low keys there’s a chance 9/10 of them are going to be awful. I rarely ever have keys timed in the 4-6 range. When I got KSM and did +7’s they were so much smoother then any +4 I ever did lol

So… run higher keys…?
This still ain’t rocket science.
