Raider Io is worthless now

[WrongCracker]

With all the sales of mythic+ clears going on anyone can have a high io score.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Except you can still see how many times they've actually cleared m+ dungeons
You can buy a run for every single dungeon and it's still piss easy to filter boost buyers out

It's always been worthless for people unable to apply any critical thinking skills. So yeah, if you can't tell the difference between a player who just pays for boosts and a player who legitimately runs keys high enough for raider.io to matter then forming WoW groups is the least of your problems to be honest.

We had the same in LEGION, players will just start to filter out high r.io ranked players with low amount of dungeon's done (vulcanic pusher/r.io buyer).
It happens after each vulcanic week, when PUGs get burned with bad players, they will just filter more.

The system works out really good for casual players and it burns r.io pushers pretty good. A win win in my eyes.

I just want to hover my mouse over the name and know everything with the number. Pro gamer.

what number ?

People have sold runs for achievements or whatever the flavour-of-the-month "score" is since as long as the game has existed. Folks just need to be smart when they look people up and be able to discern the difference between a person who has dozens and dozens of timed runs and the guy who magically has one 10+ of everything and nothing else.

I realise players want to boil pugging down to something simple like spending half a second glancing at a gearscore or ilvl or raider.io number and magically finding quality, but it's always been necessary to actually look in a bit of detail at things if you want to be safe.

Raider io number.

Before you get to worked up..

/s

[bloomy]

it tends to be less of an issue if you just quit the game, been working out great for more people than ever before!

[Very Tired]

Right. Nothing wrong with the logic of assuming everyone in pugs bought their raider.io score. Nope nothing wrong with that at all. Although, I will say this level of logic is definitely inline with normal anti-raider.io posts.

[Zandalariprelate]

Just join to a good guild to do runs. I got into one that even help me to level my poor level 2 key to level 10. Also Pugs are horrible most of the time, mostly because no one wants to use discord or any app to talk to each other

Sales imho not even worth it anymore you can get easy ilvl 395 base gear.

I don't think that people who buy the boost runs, care about current gearing methods or the game at all. Either they got to much gold and don't play anything else but the AuctionHouse or they are plain stupid (NOOB) and asked the wrong person the question "how to get gear?".

I have a really hard time understanding players actually playing the game casually and still buying boost runs for r.io rating. There is no gain in r.io boosting for the weekly-10 and if you dont have time or the skillset for higher keys, there is nothing to gain from higher r.io rating at all.

It was never really worth anything in the first place. Just because someone has a number from an addon doesn't mean they are good at the game.

Yeah I think it is kinda stupid compare current boosts with old ones becouse in past you couldnt buy gold from Blizzard for real money. You actualy had to make gold by yourself or buy it from farmers which would get you banned. Game has become pretty much pay to win as you can buy gold for real money and with gold you can buy w/e you want in the game including boss kills.

[Soon-TM]

Tbh I couldn't care less about those r.io worshippers. If I ever return to BfA, I will try to find a comfy guild to run stuff with - that's what matters most in MMOs. I'd definitely cut my left nut if I had to go through all the r.io toxicity on a regular basis.

Pretty much. I just do guild runs each week for the weekly and run 10-12 keys. We occasionally pick up pugs to fill gaps and don't bother looking for .io scores.

truth spoken.

especially raids.

ever tried to get into a jaina (or any other AotC) hc pug group ? this practically forces you to buy a sell run, so you can link thst idiotic achvmnt that these pug groups idiots wanna see. just to be part of a complete idiots group, wiping at 70% boss life.

never paid for a a sell run and never will. but i also never will do AotC in pugs again, like i did with archimonde hc, because this is the stuff that drives me away from this game after 14 years.

Classic is coming out in a few months, so mythic+ is like Cabbage Patch dolls. Cute, yet forgettable.

Gearscore, iLevel, Raider.IO.... they have all been worthless from day 1..

You CANNOT meassure a persons skill, based on his gear. Never have been able to, never will.
