Normal and Heroic dungeons have always been like this. Mythic is different because it requires a bit of communication and you are picking your group. LFR is just as soulless.
I wish I got dopamine, it might help me stay awake while doing dungeons.
Buddy, people have been killing each other over small differences of opinions since we learned agriculture.
I wish I got some dopamine from them.
With your attitude, you will never find a wife / husband, never have children, never have someone who will watch over your dog, never know when someone needs help or can help you…
It´s a lonely life you have chosen my friend.
I can tell you,
that I met someone on the airport, and in a train and we became good friends, one of them had a house in Sweden, where I spent my winter holiday at a few years ago. I met tons of people at WOW, that I later all visited on my world tour, we went to play paintball in the UK, while another had a boat and we had a party at the Adria.
You are missing out on so much, but it´s your choice so be it.
Bold of you to assume this is taught in all high schools all over the world. :V
If you approached me at an airport I would tell you to take a long walk off a short pier and hug an octopus.
Trying to find someone to vibe with by playing the numbers of being ‘open’ (read: obnoxious) and considering all strangers to be your friend is like reaching into any given puddle and believing you will pull out a fish.
I don’t want to talk to the 4 mouth-breathing troglodytes randomly put together to complete this dungeon. They don’t have anything interesting to tell me, not in the context of what we are here to do. I know this from experience, because I have been through thousands of these, and nobody’s provided anything beyond fat-fingered jarbled vitriol.
When I want to surround myself with people, I go to a hobby group, or reach out to classmates, or what-have-you.
Your way is certainly a way, and you’re kind of insufferable for humblebragging about it, and more importantly it isn’t the Only Way.
Sashidu here and I both share the view that dungeons aren’t the place for chit-chat.
If you want to socialize, that’s fine. People don’t join dungeons to talk.
Counterpoint; if you want to rush M+, you should probably need to find like-minded folks rather than be in a random queue. Why tell one they shouldn’t be using the service but think the other is fine?
Because I feel you have a better chance of finding fast runners in a random heroic than you would finding a group of slower runners. I didn’t tell anyone they shouldn’t anything.
You nailed my thoughts and feelings on this as well. Dungeons used to be so fun.
It was indeed the point of an MMO. Until people wanted convenience over socializing.
Server rep no longer matters, you don’t need to form bonds or search for people to group. You Q up and go.
Convenience may be faster but you will lose socializing because socializing is inconvenient. This is when wow stopped being a real MMO.
- I’m gay and have a partner. So yeah I already have my partner and while I won’t have a kid for myself I am donating to a friend of the family who wants a kid and not a relationship.
So your assumptions are wrong on all levels. Stating a fact and you make gaping leaps of assumptions that leave egg on your face.
I have small social circles of friends and not much more. Social anxiety all my life makes large crowds a a no and makes it overwhelming to be around.
I don’t trust people I don’t know, I’ve researched too much true crime to trust strangers off the bat.
Don’t make assumptions. I’m just an introvert.
Hekilli and similar Addons are only useful for learning basics that are skipped due to dungeon grinds and power leveling.
People have less tolerance for their time being “wasted”—on a video game— and want to complete it for the reward they are chasing then become toxic if they do not receive their reward and sometimes even lash out on others who receive it.
The addon is a tool, but you can’t help people who want to be tools towards others and obsess over how they “ought” to play. Granted I have my limits on both sides of this equation and believe both extremes have some form of entitlement. Consequently I tend to run with people who are like minded and enjoy the game similarly to me.
People over obsess over efficiency and effectiveness with the little time they have left and the ones who have an abundance of time have other issues. Regardless their incentive is obvious.
I mean they do, just not typing paragraphs . They use discord or voice usually, but no one wants to risk some mouth breather on the mic or other obnoxious noises.
Normal and heroic dungeons have always been this way. Even in old xpacs long before mythic, people would farm them like their lives depended on it.
As of right now in TWW, this problem is exasperated by time gates. The high key M+ elitists are being mingled with the general population and bringing this mindset into heroics. It will get better when the season starts and they move on to keys.
Dopamine farm?
Buddy, I just farmed 44 dungeons for mid A** loot just to hit 70-80 because I didn’t want to quest…
There’s no dopamine…more like ANTI DOPAMINE
Hahaha
I also like to queue for easy content and complain that it’s too easy. It usually helps if I also ignore the release schedule and pretend that the actual challenging content that will require cc and coordination isn’t coming out in either 1 or 2 weeks (depending on your preferred difficulty).
it’s week 1, relax buddy
I’ve been soloing for a sacbrood already.
