Mythic is hard for people who like it to be hard. 3 other raid difficulties exist for everyone else. I fail to see how that’s catering to the 1%.
Where did they say this?
They admit in their actions. Not words. You don’t need to be verbally told when evidence is all over the wall.
I have been top 0.01% of vdh in the past so maybe. But I know dads who do +20s, I know very mid casual players who can do +20s. The game is easy.
The exception is mythic raid which is good, you arent entitled to do every bit of content at the highest difficulty.
So they didn’t “admit” that at all. K thanks.

Exactly.
Just as a kid were to say they believe in santa clause doesn’t mean they are saying its factually true. And I also admit I struggle with generalization statements.
I think these are two separate things.
Our first few lockouts I definitely marked my logs private while our guild was getting the fights down and doing progression. Mostly because you really can’t focus on parsing if you are trying to learn mechanics, and also we were a couple lockouts late to the party and I wanted to give our members a chance to get more geared before the logs go on their ‘permanent’ record.
Now that we’ve cleared the raid and have it on farm, all the logs going forward are listed/public logs.
We definitely were still measuring ourselves for improvement when running private logs. Just because they aren’t public doesnt mean you can’t measure yourself and see where you can make changes.
While that’s the most sane comment I’ve seen today, we both know you’re missing the mark slightly. There’s a big difference between hiding them forever, and for progression to prevent your raiders from being dumb.
It helps that I have had the concepts of logic banged into my head repeatedly, and learning to differentiate between “I think” or “I believe” statements and “I know” / claims has been part of that.

Trust me. Mid casuals aren’t doing +20s. “Mid casuals” are the people who do LFR and solo arenas
Im sorry did they also not say:
Thats a why.
I dont know if you are upset that I am arguing points you make, or if you are attempting to come across as a pedantic individual, but you are succeeding at ignorance.
I’m just used to being attacked for any statement i make that goes against what other people want to believe in. I know he didn’t really attack me at all just debated but i’m always playing “put out the fire”.
i think no one ever looks at all your logs they just look at your page which conveniently has the highest parse, no one will care if you had a grey parse first week. but SOD is so casual it makes me eye roll that log culture is so hot here even hotter than classic even hotter than dragonflight I stubbornly never look at wcl even once in SOD

i’m not upset at you, where was I upset at with you? But because of this random belief you are insulting me?
Veteran difficulty existing in call of duty = catering to the 1%. Nevermind that 3 other difficulty settings exist 
Was I arguing with you or someone else. I didnt reply to you.
sorry i noticed my post being replied to and had the assumption it was directed at me.
It’s true. The boss does have to be defeated. However, you cut off the part where Puré said:
Even in mythic raiding in retail WoW, there are bosses that, depending on your class, you can completely ignore mechanics - maybe you have some type of immunity like Divine Shield, maybe you tunnel while standing in bad and stress out your healers, maybe you interrupt a boss during a 10 sec cast to get a haste proc from Sephuz for 30 seconds and be a PITA for the rest of your raid who now doesn’t get 10 seconds of free DPS - and still kill a boss. If your group has been consistent, this can likely improve your parse.
If you don’t want to use mythic raiding in retail for a comparison and want a current example:
- Potions in SoD can completely negate mechanics. 10 people popping a Free Action Potion on Grubbis prevents anyone from getting petrified; nobody has to worry about this and can crank out a little more damage than if they potentially got petrified. (And this is what parsing is often about: squeezing out a little bit here and there to maximize your damage while still killing the boss.)
- Have a geared paladin, running Imp Lay on Hands, tank all the mobs on Menagerie. The pally will have to pre-pot, use Stoneshield pot, LoH themselves, but it is doable. Meanwhile, the raid burns all four mobs at once, with a Free Action Potion when the sheep reflects, which, for some reason, negates this. (Or so I’ve been told; haven’t tried this myself.)
- If you want to bring tanks into the mix - which, honestly, the content we’re doing right now, you might as well - tanking in full DPS talents and gear will generally get you a better parse than tanking talents and gear. If I throw on ACP, I’d probably have better parses than sticking with Electrocutioner’s Needle & a shield.
- A classic: Have a priest put Power Infusion on a character. If you have two disc priests to give Power Infusion in a raid(not outlandish whatsoever), both of them go on the same person, and the fight only lasts 45 seconds? That’s a hefty chunk of extra damage right there.
S’yeah. You 100% can avoid mechanics - not run away from them, but not have to deal with them - to either increase your own personal DPS or hasten the kill time of a boss to increase your parse.

dang guess ill check myself out
I mean You can divine shield yourself to avoid a mechanic, but I feel like personally that the ability should always be used for an “oh crap!” moment instead of using it as a “let me get my parse up by 5%”. Or if someone dies and someone is needed for an absorb mechanic and everyone already has a debuff that divine shield will clear you of the debuff, peform the absorb mechanic and not cause any more issues.
But if the raid team is full of exceptional and highly skilled players that don’t make mistake then go for it chief, use ya defensives for parsing.
Nope. Just because the word ‘why’ in there, doesn’t mean that’s the reason for the belief.
The reason for the belief is from the sentence prior:
Which is a statement of personal value, not a statement of fact - meaning it is true for them.
It’s not my fault that you started off attacking someone for a personal belief after just previously acknowledging that everyone is entitled to hold them.
