    How exactly am I supposed to get Challenge mode?

    I have geared my character, and tried challenge modes with few people and all tries are 100% failure because people dont have any clue, wiping on first trash. But since I have no 9/9 experience, none of the openraid events are gonna take me in and those who are not requiring experience, it is still tough luck to get in.

    At this rate, challenge modes are going to be removed before I even get 1 gold.

    oQueue is another place to start looking, it's an addon that works similar to OpenRaid, except you can apply for groups via battle.net tags.

    Its hard when people dont join

    Also its even harder to find people who

    1. have any idea how to play
    2. have patience

    For whole day and yesterday I have tried to form group and had few failed attempts and then people just left.

    I cant understand how the fuck am I supposed to find competent people for 9/9 gold modes, at this rate I will never get those done before they are removed.

    Make friends, learn the CM's, go in. Even if you get full Silver experience (which is easy)...people will probably take you

    Pay a carry group to do it? Majority of the people we carry aren't bad or anything, they just have the same deal you do. Finding a random group on the fly is pretty crappy from what I hear.

    Also, WTS 9/9 CMs pst.

    What good is that? Get the achievement? The purpose is to have some fun, not cheese your way through the dungeons; this is a game after all. I'd much rather complete a few dungeons on gold and the rest on silver, if I can, than pay to get an achievement that I cheated to do so; I am not obsessed about earning rewards; it's the playing part that I am interested in.

    Unfortunately, challenge mode is still a niche activity, and an above-average-performance demanding one; so it attracts either players with high requirements of others, or ones that seek for opportunities to pray on reward-obsessed players.

    Make friends with skilled players.

    CMs aren't meant to be puggable.

    We really need to make a group/thread of people who are experienced and either like to help others or want to continue picking up transmog sets on alts that will form groups and bring 1-2 new people along as they can.

    Like I'm personally 9/9 on 3 toons and would like to continue getting sets but its hard convincing the same friends to repeatedly do them. So I wouldn't have issues with explaining things to people who are willing to invest time in being decent. Since gold isn't actuallyyy hard it just requires minimal effort as far as class knowledge/consumables/strats

    Do I really have to farm 100 000 and get boost? Fuck that game if I cant get anything by actually playing.

    Just had 1 another total fail group, cant even get past first trash of Gate of the setting sun.

    Learn to befriend people. You are playing a MMORPG while complaining that you have to play with other people to get something you want.

    I was watching sodapoppin's stream yesterday and he did it with a carry team, but it seemed easy enough as long as everyone reads guides. Soda and his friend had no idea what they were doing and had little to no pve experience and subpar dps.

    Also soda and his friend had only had pvp gear so I don't see why it's so hard for people.

    You think trying to get people together for challenge mode is not befriending?

    Is it too much to ask just to find 4 decent people with patience?

    First of all. make friends. This is an mmo, and despite how much this game has become single player friendly over the years, you're still rewarded for branching out, being social, and meeting people.

    Make a group. Be very careful in picking potential people. Was there a single person you grouped with in the times you've tried that wasn't bad or impatient? Send them a whisper, it might take a few tries but eventually you should be able to find 4 like minded people and give it a go.

    While it isn't meant to be done by the average PuG group, it's possible. Coordinate, make sure people are using a VoIP, and generally know what they're doing.
