She overperforms even in a group that is not meta comp. She has options that other players do not have.
Mk…
I’m failing to see your point here.
Bringing one meta spec does not mean you instantly become the meta.
i also play disc on this character (not meta).
i also run keys as outlaw, brew, and mistweaver – none of which are remotely meta.
yes, i have a bear, hpal, and vdh, but they’re just for goofing around. none of them has done anything higher than a 14 and i have no plans to push with them. edit: oh and rsham, same situation.

lol. which players?
speaking of opinions…
Raids take.
- Too long to assemlbe group.
- Too long time to travel to raid, let alone the raid bosses.
- Too long time to travel back to bosses after a wipe.
- Not good enough rewards from completing the raids, especially not repeatedly.
- The expectation that you spoil yourself on the raid from PTR guides before you even set foot into the raid.
Yeah… Raiding has pretty much been designed to be as unfun as possible, especially for pugs.

I do neither. I do the PvE touchpoints for the patch like time rifts, the Loamm weekly, whatever is going to gradually inch my gear a little higher while having to depend on zero other people. Then I go RP.

raiding sucks ive never raided in my life
I hate raiding in WoW for a few reasons: Biggest one is I hate having a strict schedule of when to show up and how long to stay. This isn’t work, its a video game. Second I don’t believe in “its normal to have 20-500 wipes per boss” and when i complain about how it should only take 3-7 wipes at most people are like then i guess raiding isn’t for you, so i guess it isn’t. On top of that the method of gearing through raids is awful.

Speak for yourself, dude.
I don’t do raids unless I can solo them and I sure as hell don’t do M+ (or heroics or normals). Open world content, pet battles, and farming old content is my endgame. #silentmajority

you know, i’d like confirmation from the community on this. LFR is different from normal raiding.
I have raided in the past, but never in a hard core, AotC way at all. But it’s just too much effort to coordinate.
I do stuff with friends or poke around solo. It’s a game. I need it not to be a job.
Pretty much this, actually. And RP.

Raiding has never been my thing in this game & never will be. The time commitment, scheduling, people pretending to be raiding/guild ‘buds’, but then rabidly frothing at the mouth over gear drops has always been a fatal combination of nope for me.
I’ll stand in as the occassional tank or healer if asked by friends, if I have time that lines up with their raid runs. But even that is an endeavor to upkeep and maintain friendships, I could give two hoots less about the actual raid.
I try to pop into LFRs to finish story content and see the raid art/builds/cut scenes. That’s been as far as I’ve ever felt drawn to raids.
This has to be sarcasm. But if the chance you are serious, your plan would kill WoW within a single quarter.
Yes, I agree, subscriptions would quadruple overnight for another gaming platform, but not WoW if this happened.

I actually like raiding and downing bosses even in a pug. It’s fun to learn the mechanics, get better at my rotation, and work with even just random players to down various bosses. Some pugs are worst than others but it’s fun to learn and help others learn.
This is especially fun when there’s tons of players around and a patch is popular.
