How to fix M+ pugging, lack of tanks heals and toxicity

Took them 400 comments to agree with me, nice.

I’ve been advocating for charges for years now, but people want the drama of arguing for a total removal of depletion.

I’ve talked about charges since like Shadowlands and I made it very clear even with you that I’m against this all or nothing demand for removing depletions.

There are certain changes I’m good with, but I’m very critical of proposals that will damage the pug community more than what’s currently in play.

You wanted a complete removal of depletion. Theres a massive difference between 2 or 3 tries and infinite tries.

did you have a point to make, or just letting everyone know you huff on the cope pretty hard was your point?

How to fix it.
Pick better dungeons and buff healers.

Wait why buff healers?

Check the Healer numbers, its basically shaman or bust at higher end keys. The problem wih this is that these are people playing at a higher skill level then the rest of the game, and at higher bracket the only healers really being taken are shammans, by a margin of like 50% shamans, the rest is spread about among all the other healers.

People in lower keys are, well, just not as good at people in higher keys, i mean duh right? So people who are not playing shamans are not able to play as effetely.

A small advantage is exacerbated because people swap for it. Real difference in strength is less than one key level likely.

I suppose my point is, please don’t get good at World of Warcraft. Ever. It’s generally a waste of time, and there are 10,000 more important things to do. Please don’t tell people to get good at WOW. Actually when they are bad at wow commend them on not wasting their life getting good at completely pointless activities. Accept that this is a total waste of life that is only here to kill time, and should NEVER, ever, ever be important to you or anyone else.

Do you know what the strengths of shaman even are conpared to other healers rn.

Just sayin m8 its really not much they even do less hps then most of the others.
The reason theres so many is because of the massive overreaction people have when it cones too dispels in dungeons along with people that love too bandwagon onto every meta spec in the game.

There is not a single resto shaman in the top 50 timed keys as of the time I’m writing this. The same resto druid shows up 3 times in the top 50, and the other 47 top keys are all disc priests.

Early in the season it actually did make sense to bring a resto shaman or preservation evoker. It took 4 aura buffs to resto druid and a recent disc priest buff to move their numbers up to edge out the insane utility resto shaman brings (and top groups just moved to bringing an enhancement shaman instead since none of the utility groups cared about required resto).

Isn’t that a very subjective opinion on what is important in life? How important is a person who spends thousands of hours becoming excellent at playing the violin to a deaf person?

That is true, enough. But if the violinist told others they need to practice and get good at violin, I would say the exact same thing to them. I code video games of my own as a hobby, but I would never tell others they need to do so. My advice is always put time and effort into thing that add value to your life. The value that wow brings to most lives is just very low. Sometimes negative. It’s a fun enough way to waste time with friends, but 99% of the time its nothing more.

Don’t get good at anything because everything is a waste of time in the long run. Great.

Do you have comprehension problems?

No, but that’s basically what you’re advocating. Everything is a waste of time (in someone else’s view) so never get good at anything.

The value of any skill fluctuates (monetarily.) And if not in pursuit of money, then it’s a waste of time regardless.

Else, you wouldn’t come out with stuff like

please don’t get good at World of Warcraft. Ever.

Being good at something is part of the fun. For pretty much any game or hobby.

No I said don’t tell other they need to get good at your hobby. No one said you couldn’t do what you want. I said don’t cry about other not trying hard enough at a hobby.

If wow wasn’t their hobby, they wouldn’t be on a wow forum.

And if being good or not, doesn’t matter, they wouldn’t care about the rewards that content gives either.

Get good is a legitimate response to issues caused by lack of skill.

No wow is a waste of time that don’t justify that level of commitment.

Then whatever people get in WOW shouldn’t be a concern, and people wouldn’t be writing manifestos on how to redesign systems “for the better.”
