I’m a returning players the last couple months, and once I realized mythics make you spend all that time and very slim chance of gearing up, i quit doing them right away.
Either get rid of the mythic system all together since its just a copy and paste from diablo anyways, or at least increase the drop rates significantly, so they are actually worth pugging to gear up.
What? M+ is the single fastest way to gear up a new toon. If you have a guild that runs with you, you can even armor stack it with leather/plate/cloth, etc. to make it happen even faster.
M+ is absolutely FABULOUS or leveling up a fresh 120 alt.
no you guys, mythic RNG is on a whole other level. in classic I can spam a dungeon and get the weapon i need probably within 5 trys.
Mythics in retail…no chance maybe days of trying to even find somebody with the right key, to get the right ilvl, to have the 1 item at the end drop, and have it be for you, to get accepted in the group. it just doesnt work and i dont see how anybody gears up from them in any timely manner.
and my point is pugging needs to be more worth it to gear up, idc if ur coming on here saying to have friends feed you
Yeah I basically thought back to running the bulk of LBRS summoning a somewhat difficult optional boss trying to get BIS gloves for my druid only to repeatedly get nadda. Or a caster hoping for the rare spawn in UBRS to appear, drop his trinket AND you win the roll for it from other casters…
M+ is actually one of the best systems they have ever introduced. It keeps dungeons extremely relevant for the entire expansion and honestly, minus a few affixes they’re a lot of fun
accoring to wowhead info i need to run a minimum of a 14 to get 465 gear drops at the end. I dont get accepted into those. and i dont want to waste my time running lower keys to “prove myself” to random sweaty gamers for a dungeon run.
Ah yes, the age old argument of my time is too precious to work for things so please give them to me now. Then for good measure I will insult people that do the things I cannot or will not do.
If you’re so good that people should be inviting you to 15s without any experience, just work your own key up there one week and it’ll stay high for you to keep running for the good loots.
If you can’t be bothered to at least do it once, sorry about your luck.
465 is very high item level, already above Heroic Raiding and barely below Mythic level, in the past you simply had no way to get that kind of gear from anything other than raiding. It’s way easier to get that kind of gear from M+ than Raiding. Would you expect people to take you to M Raiding if you haven’t cleared Heroic?
The reason you need to run lower keys is not only to “prove” yourself, but to actually learn the mechanics of the dungeon. They go hand by hand, if you have done enough to learn the mechanics so you can be an asset to a group rather than a carry then you will automatically have proved yourself too.
