IO mods are highly toxic to the game play of wow. This consistent, forced PVE game play because blizzard wants to reduce development costs is out of control.
Io is toxic to pvpers, and forces us to pve in an Effort to kill the pvp community.
In the past, mods that demanded players to access or use content in an advantageous way was deemed abusive by blizzard, and removed from the game, Oque is a great example of this abuse.
Raider IO is just showing us that the xserver benefits of shorter queues and easier grouping is flawed.
What they need is a voting system that brings back some integrity to players where your reputation matters so that we stop getting entitled little a-holes.
That would be a joke that would be abused like crazy. Hell people here can’t use the “flag” feature correctly and incorrectly report stuff all the time. Do you honestly thing a player driven rating system wouldn’t be abused the same way?
The entire concept of IO rating is absolutely insane. It encourages toxicity between players, and also breaks down the interaction and grouping rates. It is absolutely Toxic.
It will definitely be used that way, and IO Effectively Is exactly that, a flagging system tied into nothing more then spamming mythics.
What is insane about wanting to know another players experience in the content you are about to run? I am someone who has never had a good IO score but I understand it’s purpose and agree with it.
Says the DH with a 460 Ilvl and 0 games played. At the very least, there is a massive difference in health pools. If you queue arena at anything above 1800 you won’t see many undergeared players. Sure, you may see pika on an alt destroying people but those are like the top .01% of players. Gear matters, you have a clear advantage over people without it.
I’ll give you that some of the people who use io are toxic(as are those who don’t), but the they are useful. This is coming from some one who doesn’t even use the darn thing & never will.
I am not sure you could have made a less incorrect statement if you tried. Your IO score is determined by YOUR performance and not something other players assign to you.
You literally spam mythics to get rating. That is toxic, because it forces pvpers who want to do occasional mythic to get that rating in order just to run a mythic once or twice a week.
That is not experience, and its highly subject to being carried.
If you think getting 2400 on any class without ilvl is easy then by all means, I’d love to see you do it. 2400 is out of reach for most players WITH gear. I don’t think you understand the amount of skill it takes to get that high. The reward disparity between gearing as a pvper with conquest and just spamming+10s is laughable.
I do not support gyp as it is now. I think it should be instant cast, two charges, and deal around 20-25% of Health, with a 45 second charge cd. Gyp is good in arena because of its slow movement rate causing fires lineup to provide insane burst, out side of that its damage is really not all that good.
