You should try reading what I post then, it’s not exactly a hard skill to read something before you discuss it.
I have max gear. All my gear is at 639 with two crafted items at 639 and the new ring at max level
Sounds like you get groups then.
Correct, it is not hard to read your posts. The takeaway is:
Nope. Because as mentioned in the OP i am looking for progression keys to do, not weekly keys because weekly +10 everything falls apart at the slightest touch. That’s not challenging.
Media literacy is a dead skill then. A shame.
About as dead as M+. As OP said, Blizz should probably look at fixing that.

M+ is far from dead though
I think what you’re doing is describing a non-issue as an issue. You want outsiders to come into your sphere of awareness and fulfill an extremely niche function for you.
and then you describe it as “I never get groups” without including the “adding me in to do the top 1% of content with them as a tag along”

Well, I stated in the OP that I’m looking for +14/+15 keys. Everyone keeps brushing that off as “it’s only the top 1%,” but what I experience at that level trickles down to lower keys as well. Maybe not +5s, but definitely +10s and +11s, where people don’t just get invited if they are massively overqualified or have to sit in queue simulator for hours.
Another point that’s often overlooked is the question of why people stop playing after +10 and don’t push higher keys. Sure, on one hand, the rewards may plateau, but could it also have something to do with what I’m complaining about? That it’s simply not worth spending hours upon hours to only get one shot at a key.
I genuinely don’t think it occurs to them that typical gamers aren’t prepared to double down and ‘git guud,’ when every couple of seasons you have to ‘git guuder’ when Blizzard raises the bar on what you have to push to for the same rewards. They will just go play something that respects their time/money more.

If people’s response is to quit the game because they can’t do the hardest difficulty, I don’t think there’s many games that they will enjoy.
Oh, OP is certainly in a league of his own. I honestly would think there’s so few people playing at his IO that the loose players without teams would just form one, tbh.
When a buddy of mine was going for R1 glad he just started mailing people off arena leaderboards who were around his CR. Lol
14s and 15s is more like 0.4% which is a big difference from even 1%. Unfortunately there are just not enough people playing to facilitate short queue times at this level.
I myself, even as a meta class, can’t even find the key I want to run posted at that level, without sitting while waiting for someone to actually have that key in the group finder.
This is one of the many reasons I wish there was an option for no key depletion, because I think more people would be willing to try pugging high keys, and also care less about taking off-meta classes as well.
You know she’s not into you. The white knighting is a bad look.
Thats exactly the point. I listed my +14 Grim Batol yesterday and got applications from at least 40 people within one minute. Most of those 40 people would definitely qualify for a +14 as they timed it on +13 before. So we ran the key and as it often is third pull went wrong with BL, as tank died there so wipe and deplete. No bad feelings, mistakes happen, its progress. But will i run my +13 Grim this week? Probably not as i already have it timed. For the people that will sign up for the +13 its still progress so it has the same high chance of depletion as the +14 did. Its simply not worth my time.
