Weird almost zero darkmoon trinkets in the top 3 parses for every boss, doesn’t seem needed to parse above 90 for any of them. Sounds like you’re just looking for excuses for your bad parses.

I’m confused with what your complaint is. Parsing has always been expensive if you actually want a good one. If you don’t care to pay for it why bother at all?
yes because its the first and second week holy moly be better buddy
Parsing in general is a huge sham of who has the most time to spare - why cry now?

because guess how you’d be able to afford to parse high in classic era buddy? gdkps. adding in a bis trinket that is literally worth more than 90% of items bid in a lvl 60 gdkp after tying to get rid of that sort of game practice is asinine af and to think its not is like being so deep in an armchair you cant see straight
Week doesn’t matter buddy, people have the trinkets now and the top parses are mostly without the trinket. If the trinket was required to parse above 90 like you said it would only be trinket users in the top currently.
Take a seat and let the adults do all the thinking.
thats not the point of this thread if youre going to put up strawmen do it somewhere else
I’m not though - I’m not against you right now but you are picking one element of an entire equation of insanity.
Here is what it takes to parse individually:
-
All the relevant raid consumes and world buffs in this WIP sheet:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tL7OfHxN660hlKLZT-S7JVTbGQFzRCYc1JTUEj1tfS4/edit#heading=h.jesqp9rci60l -
the correct raid comp with the correct buffs and debuffs both globally and in your group
-
Some factions have better buffs so GL with that - not sure what your goals are there
-
Raid to explicitly create strats that optimize for your parse. Sometimes it means allowing you to do no mechanics.
-
short boss kills
-
RNG on loot drops that give power creeps, usually trinkets/weapons
-
If you want a “perfect” parse, it comes down to RNGesus…as all things equal, it will be about procs and crits.
Parsing is a whole other game mode - so you either got to go all in or just chill and do low hanging fruit stuff and stay in the blues and epics zone
I also think that if toxicity continues towards the “casuals” and they quit or aren’t raiding, then it will get harder and harder to even get a purple, because it will cause the bands to shrink. Then it truly will be all in or nothing. :shrug:

none of the top parsers can afford it without buying gold because it is literally the second week. nobody is making gold that fast buddy. and you clearly have not seen any videos on it. and yes the top warlock literally half his damage came from one of the trinkets. it got nerfed but the trinkets are still broken. you have no idea what youre talking about. adult? you have the brain of a child with that level of critical thought.
edit: i missed raid the first week but my guild is full of 99 parsers. they cant afford it yet so im sure others cant either. because its 2k gold. its a stupid game mechanic that encourages swiping.
Says the person who just went off on a complete tangent about anything I said.
I’ll help you out, your post is about the trinkets being needed to parse above 90, I stated that is untrue and gave you examples of why.
Stay on topic kid.
Lol trust me, the top parsers in this game can afford the cost of the trinket, aka FREE. You can get it just by playing the game.
yea you have know idea what youre talking about and im just going to assume youre trolling especially since youre posting on a non sod character. have a good day.
Great way to admit you’re wrong. GG kid
Why are you even PLAYING SEASON OF DISCOVERY?! It’s designed on the Classic system. All we get is endless complaints about things that are part of the baseline game design for classic.
Why are you even playing the game? Go get a single player game, install a save editor, and leave the rest of us that like the feeling of old school MMOs alone…

what exactly am i wrong about? specify troll
edit:
since you clearly lack reading comprehension let me lay it out for you.
If you go look at sims on youtube, these darkmoon cards add gross amounts of damage. You can literally go see for yourself they are more parse defining than any other item in the game yet by a longshot. Go look at the sandstorm and plague decks. The reason none of the 99 parsers have them yet is because they are 2k gold. I know this because my guild is literally chalk full of 99 parsers from last week, gnomer, bfd, etc. none of us have it yet.
These darkmoon cards cost 80 wild offerings for 8 cards which could be any card in a deck, or you can buy a deck or cards off the auction house averaging 2000 gold. Right now as it stands there are no gold farms or card farms that are are going to be quicker than 14 hours at a bare minimun though probably more like 20+ of mindless farming to get this card.
At the same time you can still buy this amount of gold probably for less than 20 dollars and there are still very easy ways for you not to get banned doing so.
In other words, this game mechanic strictly encourages gold buying which is why it is a bad game mechanic. Blizzard got rid of gdkps as they encourage gold buying. This game mechanic “Darkmoon Faire Cards” literally does the same thing. That is why it is a dumb mechanic and should be changed and/or removed.
First thing you’re wrong about. You said the trinket costs 2000g and none of the top parsers can afford it. You are able to farm it for free through 5 mans, meaning it’s available to anyone.
Second thing you’re wrong about. You said no one can parse above 90 without the trinket, yet a large majority of the number 1 parses are all done by people without the trinket.
Third thing you’re wrong about. You say your guild is full of 99 parsers yet no one has a 99 ave for ST in your guild yet, didn’t even see any 99s at all in the guild logs. Even your guild runs labeled “parse run” from the end of last phase gnomer only had 3 99s between all players and all fights. A 99 parser will parse all 99s, not one or two here and there.
Come on bud, if you’re going to try and debate with adults, at least stop contradicting yourself every post.
Also - question, you almost imply that the trinket is so OP that its a must have. You absolutely can’t parse above 90 without it? Genuine question - Not a hunter so I don’t know sims on them
yea go reread my post. everything you have just mentioned is a strawman argument. if you don’t know what that is go google it. you have no idea what youre talking about either. probably why youre posting on some random retail alt so i can’t look you up and laugh.
Speaking of reading comprehension issues, I never once said or implied that the decks aren’t good nor that they won’t be a good item compared to others.
Parsers usually have more gold than other players for various reasons. The deck is available for free through just doing 5 mans.
No they’re not full of 99 parsers. Your guild logs for ST prove otherwise. Your guild logs for a gnomer “parse” run have almost no 99s that run.
Which doesn’t cost 2k gold.
Welcome to World of Warcraft.
No, it encourages people to do 5 mans. Gold buying is something certain people do no matter what the reward is in order to skip content.
why are you lying. my guild is full of 99 parsers. theyre also rank 1 retail players. all of your arguments are borderline strawmen. they dont even talk about what im talking about. im done responding.
edit:
you said that they are not needed for 99 parses. i explained the reason for this is because it is the first week. nobody has them yet.
with lack of gdkps high level players have to grind gold the same way as everyone else. so no they don’t typically have more gold than other players in sod unless they are credit card swiping
if you are talking about “ultra mains” the guild is literally full of 99 parses and we have gotten high parsing speed kills as well. i would name drop but that is not appropriate. so no you are blatantly lying or cherrypicking cant tell.
it is equivalent in time spent grinding
you clearly have not played classic era or were a noob because if you spent hours mindlessly grinding in it then you were ill informed or doing it wrong.
i blatantly explained why it encourages gold buying. just saying “no it doesnt” isnt an argument. why would anyone want to grind for 14-24 hours for enough gold or wild offerings to afford an item they can safely pay 20$ for and not get banned? please explain to me that and how this mechanic doesnt blatantly encourage gold buying because that is what my post is actually about.
please do because all youre doing is just lying, posting strawmen arguments, and just saying “oh no it doesnt” as your argument. its actually lunacy that im replying to this
