Do you engage with the mythic raid?

I would like to know more about everyone’s experiences with the mythic raid.

Are you currently a mythic raider?

If so, are you enjoying the mythic raid (why or why not please)?

If you are not currently a mythic raider, please explain why not.

Thank you all for reading and I look forward to everyone’s posts.

I can start off by saying, no I am not a mythic raider.

Why? Mainly because the logistics are not something that I want to spend my time on.

What does this mean? Well, I don’t want to schedule myself around this game. WoW is a game, it is a hobby that I enjoy in my leisure time. If I feel like not playing, I would like the option to say “hey, I want to not log on the game today and that is okay.”

Here is an example - what if I didn’t sleep well the night before and wasn’t able to go to the gym before work. So then I would like to go to the gym after work. But what happens if that is one of my scheduled mythic raiding nights? Well I would be out of luck and have to skip my exercises that help me to be a healthier and happier person - mythic raiding just is not worth giving that up.

Another issue that has arisen last tier in Nerubar palace is the items/renown that give you more dmg in the raid. In order to get this renown, you have to full clear the raid. Well, what if your guild has extended lockouts in mythic and you don’t full clear anymore? Well, you have to go with a pug and clear heroic normal or LFR. These lower difficulties are trivial and boring - they would be a waste of my time, just another chore. In a world where mythic raiding already requires so much extra time, I am not willing to put in the extra effort to reclear heroic or normal or LFR.

Also here is another reason why I don’t want to join the mythic raiding community - I like to switch mains when I want. If you join a raid guild, you are locked into that one character for at least multiple months for the season. You may even be forced to play that character next season, too. Additionally mythic raiding guilds may force you to change to a class you don’t want to play.

Nope, not a mythic raider. Can’t be bothered doing heroic hardly.

I only do keys. Main at 3.1 RIO right now 100% pugged. I think my renowns are at like 10-12 and I never even finished Cartels intro. I’ve stopped once the D.R.I.V.E mount, so only like 5 quests lol.

I used to be a Mythic raider tho back in Shadowlands. I don’t miss it.
In my opinion, it’s only fun with the fun people.
I raid in Classic WOW though. 8/8H Dragon Soul. But it’s only fun because of the people.

I’ve burnt myself out in Shadowlands. Since then, I’ve been playing only 1 character at a time - x1 toon on Retail for keys. x1 toon on Cata Classic for raiding.

I have accepted that by not raiding I’m voluntarily forfeiting certain level of player power. I’m okay with it.

It all comes down to your personal preference.

If you don’t see the appeal in Mythic prog raiding, the odds are you won’t enjoy it. Altho you’ll never know until you try it.

We do it casually after aotc. Roster boss is typically the preventing factor. It’s just getting more and more sweaty for no reason.

I don’t. Although lately, I’ve been thinking about finding a guild that does some casual mythic after aotc. Not interested in ce, just looking to fill a vault slot or two.

Everytime I’ve had it’s been torture cuz getting 19 other people to do mechanics correctly is very hard apparently

I enjoy mythic raiding because heroic is too easy for me. The only issue I have with it is the roster boss, we’ve lost two weeks so far this tier due to only having 18-19 bodies available.

I don’t even engage with LFR.

No. Only time I step foot in mythic is towards the end of the season when cross realm is available and I pug the first 1-4 bosses.

I am old and tired. I like raiding with my guild to aotc. I am also married with a boatload of kids and sometimes even raiding twice a week feels like a lot.

I did few mythic raiding, only difference is that you cant make mistakes, and people will ask you for loot if you get something and then get mad if you dont

What is the point of this thread other than a very passive aggressive attempt at making yourself look superior to people who raid mythics?

So sad.

That’s a pretty big difference.

Nope, havent mythic raided since Nyalotha. I dont now because I’d rather not have a set amount of my free time scheduled for it and farming after and selling reclears gets old as hell very fast.

Now it’s seeing how high I can pug keys with crazy as hell pugs or just weeklies with friends and AOTC.

To be a mythic raider you have to belong to a group that can field 20 players where the other 19 would want me to play. That won’t happen because I am a terrible player. I’m old, my reflexes are terrible, my eyesight is marginal and I tend to fall asleep while playing.

But I love the game. It’s fun. And playing solo I don’t need to convince a guild to let me play.

Now that we have Follower Dungeons if I fall asleep for five minutes, when I wake up the Followers are all standing around ready to go on playing. Now that we have Story Mode Raids I can see the story through to the end of the expansion / season. And I follow RWF to see how the pros do it.

So why bother with Mythic Raiding?

lol clearly you don’t care about endgame content

I believe I will be trying it this weekend. Just dipping our toes in. :slightly_smiling_face: I think it will be fun to kill more bosses with friends. Get more loot. Stumble through new mechanics and working out all the little things until it gets easier. I like this part about raiding. It’s not always just the win, but the road traveled to get there.

If we down a boss or two, sweet. If not, sweet. lol

That’s how I see it. Others I play with will see it all differently I’m sure. I just like to spend time playing with people.

Nope. Not now. Not ever. Not with that lockout model.

I don’t do normal or heroic either but that’s on me, not the game. If I had 9 other folks I loved playing the game with I would. But Mythic? Nope.

I do care and that’s the point. I care when a new season comes out to see whether Team Liquid will keep winning or whether Team Echo or someone else can top them. And I care about the story I’ve been playing for all these months to see how it all comes out.

How is that not caring about endgame content?

The only time I tried mythic raiding was during Hellfire Citadel in WoD. Required a lot of time commitment, not necessarily the raid hours but the research and practicing rotations. I didn’t progress very far, I don’t remember if my guild even managed to kill mythic Gorefiend or not.

I don’t follow mythic races or what the environment is like from now vs back then, I’d rather play more casually with AOTC as my goal.
