I heavily respect this. Lately I just want to have fun.
I am gearing up, but only to help my guild raid progression. Once we’re done I’m done gearing and gonna go for achievements.
(I haven pushed super high yet but…)
The difference can be stark with an organised group and not. Last season I played with two ‘decent’ gamers (Jackdanielss and Drunks) who are my friends irl. I don’t have to mention kicks or big pulls or anything. They’re looking and we’re organising them as we went through.
They have quit WoW this season and I can’t expect the same thing on pugs and so I can’t usually pull as big or do as much because either the kicks or the damage isn’t there. A +2 becomes a +6.
Last season we’d gotten to 8s/9s by week two. I’m playing mostly solo this season but the people I hang with ingame are slower pushers and we’ll go 2 then 3/4s etc. I don’t expect to see KSM till week 3 most likely.
