Back for awhile, running Islands on my Rogue.

destroy the game?

yea, I know

Not a fan of the idea of an overall PvE rating. I’ve had mythic plus only tanks really struggle with raid mechanics and vice versa.

Blizzard did it before with Gearscore.

Gearscore wasnt made by Blizzard

Ever notice the loudest and proudest of Raider IO defenders are almost always Rogues

Less is not more in this context. (BFA/WOD Era) But that’s an arguement for another day.

“There is nothing wrong with M+ in BfA or Raider IO” - Man guaranteed to be invited into any M+ due solely to class choice.

RIO is not based on Raid Content that I am aware of?

Flip side, things like RIO are what breeds elitist snobs.

“Oh, you have an RIO of 79? You’re garbage, you’re trash, you’re a loser! Until you hit 80 you’re not even worth talking to.”

Then you hit 80 and they’ve hit 85 and they find another reason to call you trash, saying you did garbage content to push your RIO rating.

In short, any time you give a numeric rating to a person’s skill, there will be those who will use it as a way to LOCK you out.

We need LESS tools for elitist snobs, not MORE.

It happened with gearscore. People would judge you solely based on your GS. You were treated as trash if you didn’t meet some mythic number which seemed to fluctuate depending on their petulant whining.

You looking to sale carries OP? Because that’s all this would do. You can buy 1k RIO and AOTC so it’s not a good scale of “skill”.

So, when someone is forming a group for, say, Shrine 13, and they have a dps spot to fill, how would you suggest a person go about selecting someone?

RIO has advantages.

If my regular group isn’t available and I need to PUG a week because folks took off, I am not playing the karma skill roulette wheel. I have no problem with anyone looking at my RIO and judging me. I will find the groups I need one way or the other. If I see you can’t ,at least, 1 chest the dungeon I am needing why would I invite you? If I deplete my key I am stuck having to do an additional run to reset it. So essentially my time takes a hit because player A doesn’t know what to do with the weekly affixes.

Sorry, not my problem

There’s also a scary slippery slope about “using rio for hard content”.

Who defines hard content? At what point do they decide to extend the content that it covers? Also, players, especially the jerks and tools, would push for RIO to be extended to more and more forms of content. Until eventually if you want to run levelling dungeons, you can’t even get in unless you meet a mythical RIO score.

It’s a slippery slope.

Hard Content: Anything you have to manually group for via Premade Groups.

Raids: Normal+

Dungeons: M0/M+

Should work as well as Yelp.
