Its bad enough i have to pve to get gear. But since my IO score is like 200 because i dont want to pve I cant get into a group because the epeen people want 1k for 8s. This is a joke, sitting around for an hour trying to get a stupid kr 8+ for a chance at a weapon.
Just push your own key and make your own groups. You only need to 3 star 3 dungeons to get a 10 key. I can almost 100% guarantee after a few bad groups from giving people with low io’s chances you’ll start being more picky yourself.
This is coming from someone who has a 500io who can’t get invited to +10s either, so I just run my own groups. Even with my low io, I’ll still get dozens of applicants within 5 min, do you think I’m going to be taking the least experienced people when I can get 1500io guys who know every pull, affix, route, skip, strategy, etc like the back of their hand?
Raider IO isn’t anything Blizzard has control over. It’s a third party website that uses the armory for data. Pretty sure the only way to get rid of it is to get rid of the armory, which would be a bad move.
I know this is probably a troll post but w/e, I’ll bite. Wow has always been like this. Before raider io there was gearscore and if you find some way to take away raider io, someone will just make something else.
Do what the rest of us have been doing for years and years. Join a guild that aligns with your interests in the game. Make friends. Profit. There’s absolutely no reason you need to PUG to do pve content.
