Sorry you have had negative experiences, but to claim no one likes to help people is false.
Like someone else said, you have to seek the knowledge out outside of WoW or have friends or a good guild. Random people in dungeons or raids aren’t gonna help you in anyway…they will want to kick you or ignore you.
Well no I agree with that, random groups are not the place to seek help. It just seemed your response was more all-encompassing than that. Apologies for the misunderstanding.
It also had a lot less content. And the disparity between the power of gear wasn’t so gear.
There was also a focus solely in raiding or you were worthless. We’ve shifted from that.
The game has more content, takes up more of people’s time to get things done, and people want to do that efficiently.
Being an MMO most of this content requires groups. And a lot of people want tools that allow us to see a person is capable of doing that content, therefore meaning we will get that content done.
It doesn’t breed toxicity. The community is already toxic. As with most game communities. What this does is allow all of the player base to see what a person has done or is capable of.
The portion of the population that love it is the portion that wants to get their in game tasks done efficiently so they can focus on alts or real life.
The only people that don’t like this are people who don’t get invited to groups as it is. Rather than hating the system these people need to focus on practices if and developing their skills and character to a point where they will be WORTHY of being invited.
Odds are they are the same people that won’t get invited to content regardless.
And let’s face it the bulk of groups already don’t invite players that don’t us IO. Why? The results are less reliable/predictable. That being said, what if having that tool would get them invited based on their score but they are being denied and invited solely because they don’t use the tool?
Wiping on content repeatedly so a bad player can be included is not fair not fun for the rest of the group.
This will only be a good and consistent thing for the game.
Then maybe what should be pushed with this is the ability to find people of about equal skill and/or goals, will that mean some are stuck on certain key levels for weeks? yes, but at least they are with those who are with them.
Likely because they are trying to reach for that gold when they are , technically, not even qualifying. Some people are trying to get the experience or build up, but are being denied because others don’t want the ones working up as much as the ones that have already done it, it is more or less the in-game equivalent of asking for years of experience for an entry level job.
People can also choose what they want to do, they don’t have to do it all. Most will likely dabble in multiple things yet only focus on one or 2 at most.
Like Ron in Harry Potter had the desire of becoming Quidditch captain and Head Boy, like he saw himself in the Mirror, one is quite possible with work, and while it is possible for him to be both, it means being both the top student and the best player in his house. It used to be people could become High Warlord/Alliance equivalent or Gladiator and be fine or they could be the top mythic raider and be the same, now it seems people want both but are really only able to do 1 with the time they have unless they are picky about their teams.
nice contribution but then again I wouldn’t expect much from a classic forum alt

You bring up a lot of good points.
Scoring I feel is not necessary when gearing is suppose to be the measuring stick.
Unfortunately, gearing hasn’t been a good measuring stick for quite some time.

Cool, you already don’t do the content, your opinion is invalid.
yeah that’s exactly the paradigm that i think a lot of people don’t realize no longer exists. people hit 190 or 195 ilvl solo through the covenant chain and think “well, 203 gear sounds good, i should jump into a +10” because they don’t realize that ilvl is a worse predictor of performance than ever before
Exactly. I mean by gear alone I should probably only be doing 15+, but as I have zero experience above a 13 (and very little even above a 10), NO ONE should be inviting me to a 15, lol.

So basically you think its beneficial for people to be forced to drag baddies with them?
I have guildies that will. Hell they’ll drag me through one if I asked. Of course timer be damned but they’ll still try to beat it.
Oh yeah I have friends that would as well if I asked, but I never would.

What you are missing is that some people – me included – do ENJOY competing in everything we do. What’s the point? Why would I want to do that? It’s FUN.
It goes both ways my friend.

Yeah I don’t ask. An invite just pops up. I ask what are we doing and off we go to whatever key. It has been a bit as I really have no desire for M+. If anything I’ll do some low keys with them just to see what will pop in the vault for mog lol!!

Me neither!
GG.
Most of my friends are pretty passive and I am… not passive so I tend to do all the inviting.

in my experience 90% of people tell you that you suck and leave you in the dust.
Same, but I stick to my 12-13 to get the practice I need, but sometimes I wonder if there are ranges where one is more likely to run into certain types.
