How do you get that experience, though, if everybody wants to take the path to least resistance, and you start out as a nobody with 0 raider score and low gear, and you’re in a pool of hundreds of people with more experience than you?
That’s why I like automated matchmaking; the automated matchmaking system doesn’t care. As long as you have the gear level and you have whatever it is unlocked, you are good to go. You get the group and unless your performance really blows, you’ll get through the dungeon.
That’s better than trying to manually get a group for 30+ minutes because you don’t have a history or the gear.
Can’t do the content until you are experienced and geared, but can’t get geared or experienced without doing the content.
It’s a chicken vs egg thing and it’s stupid and that’s why I will always dislike manual matchmaking systems.
M+ can just rot and go away. Or it can stay. I don’t give a rat’s behind.
I just wish that Heroics had meaningful rewards again.
