Valor cap is omega cringe

ill give you an example. Im 393 ilvl, almost 2.1k IO, i have no group, so i pug. The majority of pugs are struggling to get that 14 or 15 for the vault, so for me getting more IO means spending a lot of time fishing those exact dungeons, aprox around 20 minutes, at the exact lvls, like 14 to 16+ keys, and i have to get invited, and the group has to be good enough to time it, and in a 15 drops 398 ilvl gear, and 1 of those 2 items has to drop for me to get more ilvl…
Meanwhile in my guild there is people with 7/8 heroic, 1/8 mythic with 404 ilvl and 1.5k IO, and they have 4 pieces of tier set…
im a little stuck with IO and gear, and around 10 ILVLS LESS than other guildies…

EDIT: Forgot to mention…ive done 98 keys since DF launch…
