Low M+ keys are still a nightmare

I pugged all timed +13s.

I pugged m+20 in legion, what’s your point?
It was still a trash experience having literally dozens of bricked keys every week all because of…well, people.
They also need to take the timer off. It’s just making people be too picky with their runs, to the point where many people I knew who did M+ as their main gameplay loop just stopped playing the game after 15-20 years… Nobody wants to pay to play a game where not only to they constantly have to deal with the risk of regular verbal abuse and drama and just casual nonsense…and then they still have to have some chud decline them for a +3 because they don’t have a 1800 rating and aren’t 25 ilvls higher than the guy who started the group lol.

It’s not the trash experience you claim. Once you get out of baby keys, ppl have some clue what they’re doing.

Was it “Best-in-slots” mace? If so, I bet they got it and didn’t use the convert thing and only saw on a guide its your best weapon.

But on topic, yeah there is like this creeping level of despair that happens throughout a WoW season where keys get submerged in a pool of crap over time where only the absolute dreg are left in those keys. As the season goes on, keys 2 then 3 then 4 and so on fall and I think its up to like 7 or 8 now. I feel bad for those that want to climb keys on alts or recently returned and aren’t up to 10s yet as they still seem safe for the most part.

I am never one to insult someone over a video game but some people seem like they couldn’t pour water out of a boot if the instructions were on the sole.

Yeah. And until then, its trash. Not sure why this is so hard to understand lol.

Honestly I’d rather low keys be a nightmare and gatekeep the bad players forcing them to actually learn the mechanics if they want to go up in key levels

It really isn’t. If you’re constantly experiencing toxicity, maybe you’re the problem.

Neither of those are toxicity. The first is just flat out untrue, but a group leader can set whatever parameters they want to invite players. If the group leader doesn’t want to invite you, oh well. The second is just noobs being noobs or people making mistakes.

lol you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.

It’s only trash if you join trash groups. Vet the people you play with better. I can count on one hand the amount of legitimately toxic runs I’ve had this expansion after doing hundreds of keys. A run failing because people are making mistakes is part of the game, not “toxicity”.

Maybe enlist the internet police to backtrace them.

You are insufferable lmao. No wonder you think it’s toxic, you are literally the problem.

lol expecting people to have a masters degree to work at mcdonalds cooking fries is toxic.
Expecting too high of a rating, which is the point of my clearly hyperbolic statement…
Hyperbole. Do you know what that is?

you are correct, they are free to gatekeep and make it harder for everybody, even themselves, to find a group.

yup. why even say that? WE all know that, and it’s not my argument

so is that why the developers are trying to delete addons like weak auras, that holds your hand and plays teh game for you in everyway but actually pushing the buttons

which is most of them

We do. You are acting like you have some great wisdom to share, but all you are doing is pretentiously stating common wisdom…

never said that. But again, you show you can’t be serious because you keep jumping to conclusions, even though I went to great lengths to be verbose enough to make my intent and point clear…

and i lost count of the bad runs years ago because I just keep moving on.
almost like we have different experiences.
WE have millions f people complaining, but somehow its just me? Wild take my guy.

how does my comment on here, equal problems in game?
Did they look up my forums history? No.
Why are you acting like talking about the problems i the game…make you the problem?

I literally do all the things you suggested. It’s still a mess.
AGain, millions of people leaving the game, and millions who still play and most (yes, again hyperbole with how many people, gasp) and are having the same problem, despite doing what you say.

You presented nothing new. you did’t read what I said, and you disingenuously misinterpreted everything I said without even a second thought.

You, are insufferable, “lmao”. No wonder you think I am toxic, you can’t read.

At the end of the day, you can run most M+ under 7, with a bunch of people who don’t even know how to play the game, and I would know because I brought my gf to some M+5s and she was in second place while maintaining CC and her Arcane Mage rotation, all after a month of playing.

The game isn’t hard, the system just encourages people to be little freaks about how picky they are because they are more afraid of wasting time on a bricked key because the game punishes you in a really dumb way and it takes the encouragement out of it for many people.

Maybe check the forums more often, and you will see how many people are having problems, despite following the advice that you copy/paste from the other 500000 people who think their advice actually makes a difference to a bunch of people using addons to gatekeep who they invite, based entirely off stats that they usually don’t understand.

we are trying to come up with solutions.

So instead of being a rude little ignorant buttcheek about it, provide a solution to op’s problem. Not really productiv to come in here and just keep going “na uh, na uh, na uh” with your eyes closed while typing a response to something you didnt read…

GG.

No it isn’t, and that’s a crap comparison. You’re not entitled to someone’s party just because you log in. A group leader has the freedom to invite whoever they want, under whatever criteria they want. The fact that you see that freedom as a negative further proves the point that you are the problem.

Mmhm, again, you have no idea what you’re talking about and are trying to spread outright lies.

You’re the common denominator of every group you join.

Millions of people lmfao. You’re hilarious.

It is very easy to tell just by your attitude alone.

It would be better if low M+ didn’t give people key upgrades so quickly. IMO you should not get a 5 after your 2 gets blasted by overgeared pugs you won’t be doing the 5 with. If you time a 2 you should get a 3 regardless of how fast it was under time, or maybe even, you have to time a few 2s to get a 3, and so on. Then once you get to 10 same as normal

People who run their key with valor farmers get an 8 as their third key ever (remember current M+8 is DF M+18) and this is wrong. Could be looked at

LOL GO WATCH BELLULAR. ION IS LITERALLY TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO GET RID OF ADDONS AND MAKING THEIR FEATURES BE BASELINE IN THE GAME
HOLY CRAP NO. just stop.
Go get help dude. You don’t know everything in the universe.
There is a problem, and you are contributing to it greatly.

maybe actually READ through the thread and see how many people are having problems.
JC kiddo. Gotta be better.

Don’t respond. you are wrong and you proved it by not knowing one of the biggest pieces of WOW news ever…and then pretending you were right, it shows republican levels of intentional ignorance and that is absolutely unacceptable in the Information Era…

I watched the interview with Ion himself, where he said he wants to create an option in game for addons like Details and Bigwigs so that players don’t feel forced to go to 3rd parties. And that maybe in the future, big emphasis on MAYBE, they can get to a point with native features and a changed boss design philosophy where things like Weakauras won’t solve boss mechanics.

Says the person consistently using hyperbole and misconstruing quotes. Yeah, you’re incredibly toxic.

That’s what I thought…

There is a serious problem, and there is even another new addon coming out, or already out, that just filters people out via logs. Except most players simply don’t log, so there is no data to work with on the addon…and it’s not a good thing at all.
it’s going to just cause problems in the future.

That’s what therapists call, “deflection”. Nice try though.

byyyyye, muted topic lol. IT’s a good habbit.

No it doesn’t.

Only takes 1 out of 5 players to log in a group for it to be public and pulled for the addon. Also, many people doing high keys absolutely review logs of their runs. I have the addon. I barely use it, but it’s there if I want it.

lt’s a tool to give information. The only people who don’t like it are the ones with bad numbers. If you have bad numbers, I might not want to group with you. That’s my choice and my freedom in this game.

I bet you’re a huge proponent of a queue system for M+.

This good and also necessary and what I will need to do next. For me, just learning the map routes, my key binds, and getting used to the amount of information on the screen is a challenge. I live a super simple life now and the game is sensory overload for about a month for me until it’s all zen like it ought to be.

Update: I have worked my way into 8-9’s now, and they seem to be going MUCH smoother…
