    Because at +15 it doesn't really matter that much and in my experience Tyrannical works tend to be way worse than Fortified weeks because even at +15 people screw up easy to avoid boss mechanics that were there in m0s already.

    Honestly that should be locked in system for mythic+ so they can't bring their "friend" inside it. That's the douche move they had to do to waste your time and "borrow" ur your damage. What the actual fuck...?

Some of them bought mythic+ runs carry to boost their I.O scores. Ok cool see ya *abandon group* I stopped doing mythic+ 10 above cuz ppl that likes to troll or don't do the mechanics or poor performances dead weight is a huge turn off.

    I for one rarely wipe when i use my own key and i'm healing and have healed up to a +14 absolutely fine as 446 ilvl but can't get into pugs for +10s
    one of the problems is that you are Monk healer and under 460..... i play MW 467ivl and my RIO is cca 1400. I don't really play M+ often or push keys, just do the weekly for chest. Sometimes i go with guild, sometimes i pug...there's no way to get a 13+ pug as a Monk healer unless you are 470+ and 2000+ rio. And for me even on 12-13 in pug, it's a maybe. I just got used to it I guess :P
    and also, I didn't notice a lot leavers when i pug, it's maybe 1 in 10 runs.... and it's usually cuz of bad tank

    My alliance guild, in which I have some friends I have know for years is fucking terrible. They struggle to get aotc. There are only a few people I run stuff with and I got stuck running a +11 waycrest with people I did not want to. Long story short, we had to downgrade the key because the hunter and other mage don't even know if they have interrupts, the mage did not decurse. Not to mention at one point the hunter was attacking the wrong targets on sisters. I like them all as people and have a good time shooting the shit on discord but players like this are the majority of wow players.

    Fun fact, RIO score doesn't care about how many dungeons you run per week. But how difficult they are.
    If you do one or two different 15-17 per week there is no reason to not have a 2k score...

    +1.

    I don't play MMOs to be challenged. Y'all can have your M+, you're nuts, but you can be nuts in your own content. I've been here on and off since the beginning, the things that make me take breaks are usually when WoW gets up its own ass about how good I should be at a game I've been doing for over a decade and have put my time in "being hardcore." That time has passed, and I am still a demographic that deserves to have content. I love WQs, open world offerings like assaults, and islands and warfronts. People like me exist.

    That said, I can also see that M+ is not content intended for PUGs. People upset about "leavers" should run with friends that won't do that to you or at least have an added incentive of social compact to stick around. Y'all are crazy to PUG M+, IMO.

    If you only do 1 run a week, chances are you don't get too picky about what dungeon you actually run though. Like sure if you want to get the score up you try to run all the dungeons but if you only care enough to do 1 key a week, chances are you will be happy to do the first one you can get into.

    This is why we need things like raider.io... so we can avoid people like the ones in your group.

    But if it takes 2 hours for you, then it will also take 2 hours for someone else. There are just more dps than tanks in the game, so if you're not a tank you just have to accept that it takes more time to make/find a group. This problem will exist no matter what. It's not about raider.io. It's about supply and demand. There are 10000000 dps out there.

    If you only do 1 run per week it shows that you are not very experienced and that you probably dont enjoy M+ that much. You say that you do everything right, but when you don't do the dungeons often you cant possibly know all the tricks and more important have experience with all the tricks. I'm looking for people who do M+ because they want to and not just because they get a weekly reward.

    When I'm making a group I'm always looking at the number of completed runs. Myself, I have more than 100 +15 runs in season 4 and I often look for people with the same. The chance of getting an awesome player is much higher when doing that. Nobody is going to pay for 100 boosts in 2 months.



    Tbh, I'm interested in hearing, do you think you would be invited to more groups if the rio system didn't exist? Because the number of tanks compared to dps would still be the same you know.

    Yeah the issue is people say "just run different dungeons to improve r.io" but on the other hand people actively avoid inviting people who don't have that specific dungeon completed in that season. I had that issue at start, first 2 weeks ran only specific 4-5 dungeons I needed for drops. Every week after... can only get invited into those same dungeons for weekly, everything else declined.

    I solved it later by just pestering my friends to save me the keys I need so I can get the completion, but a person that has to rely only on pugs can easily fall into a loop of only being able to join dungeons they already did and being declined from the ones they didn't, therefore being stuck with "shit score".

    True, true, people would just look at ilvl, or fotm class and other criteria that would make it even worse for some people to find groups.

    Honestly if R.io or something similar didn't exist and I still had to do M+ weekly I would probably just quit the game. It would be such a massive headache because ilvl tells you basically nothing nowadays.

    I would love it if blizzard supported puffing a bit more and actually made a good raid finder where you could be more specific about the type of group you are running, but as is there’s no place for me to do that as a self professed noob.

    In a month I’m sure I will be raid leading because heroic raids are super easy and I can’t do mythic. But right now? Nope.

    And it’s not just carry runs, it’s because people have 460 item level having only run normal because of the power creep philosophy.
    lol what was passive aggressive about that?get over yourself dude,he makes a perfectly valid point,btw you dont need to raid lead when making a normal nyalotha pug group,just take 20 minutes to look at a video about figths,if someone fucks up badly kick and replace,its normal...its literaly usualy easier than lfr cause of the types of people joining,and often you see high ilvl people joining just for the coruption drops or to help friends,also there is no power creep in this patch as titanforge is gone,if anything many people have lower ilvls because of coruption items,and i have seen plenty of nya pugs that are ilvl apropriate

    At least it's a bit less "bad" than in legion where overgeared people were zerging trivial raids for chance for legendaries so you couldn't find any gear up group only "zerg run" and "weekly raid tour" and so forth.
    this is some brilliant logic you got,fuck over other people because they dont play how you want lol,people can ask for whatever ilvl they want,plenty of other groups outthere that dont ask for exagerated ilvl's,also...making your own group isnt passive agressive,its a valid solution

    actualy ilvl tells you way more these days,no titanforge means no lucky people squeezing by only if you buy boosts,in fact ilvls tend to be lower this patch because of corruption,im 479 total ilvl but i use 415 gloves

    Exactly and people would still not invited to group, because rio is not the problem. The issue is that you have 100 dps for every 1 tank.

    And the main problem for dps would still be there because it has nothing to do with rio. When I make a group for a +15-19 key, I always have more than 20 dps signing up. And since I cannot take 20 people in my dungeon group, I will have to decline some of them. That's just how it is.

    I rly don't know what do you mean by "fuck other people over". I think it's a rather design problem than playerbase problem, if you put rewards people want from normal even when they have gear from mythic, you create this kind of situation, that people who don't "need" normal for normal loot drops queue for it because they need essence, legendary, ap, trinket upgrade (antorus), ring upgrade (hfc), titanforges, corruptions, and so forth. Soon it'll start with cloak upgrades that easiest way would be pug normal Nzoth, but at least you can also do horrific vision clear and then don't have to do normal.

    Maybe I worded it wrong, but the point is, as long as group leaders have abundance of 460+ geared people for normal, they will never take a 440 player instead. It's not about whether a group of 440 geared people can clear it. It's about the competition.

    And yes, I don't do lfr, normal, low key m+ and such content on my high geared characters because what's the point. I'm not sure why other people do outside of 1) helping a friend 2) specific 1 time goals like obtaining an essence, doing a quest.

    And sometimes when I idle in main city I get whispers from complete strangers "hey wanna tank my m+7?" How about they find someone on their gear / experience level instead? Stop the obsession of "must have 20 more ilvls than the place drops to be invited", people complain they can't find a tank but how many newbie tanks got discouraged by bad treatment when they had low gear / xp and everyone crapped on them?

    I'm moderately experienced in m+, and I see what's the general attitude, I can only imagine how much worse it is for tanks that are new. And the lower the m+ key level the less skilled, but more toxic playerbase becomes. Somehow the tank and to some extent the healer is expected to compensate for every shortcoming. We depleted key, tank was pulling too slow. We wiped, tank was pulling too much.

    Sometimes I wonder when people say, like a couple of posts in this thread "I don't do m+ above 10, I don't raid heroic / mythic, I don't join a guild because they're toxic", meanwhile the worst toxicity I've seen was in the low content, where people come with an attitude "it's easy, I don't need to know anything" and expectation to faceroll. Yes, there are toxic guilds and toxic "elitist" high level pugs, but the low ones I find much more toxic. People who don't know any strats behaving like know it alls and always blaming others. I feel like doing "difficult" content comes with an expectation it might fail, but doing "easy" content if something fails, it's insta drama, ragequits, blame game etc.

    Good for what, pushing +20? They won't be.
    Doing the weekly +15? They're probably good enough.

    I'm one of the people who only do 1 dungeon per week and I don't apply to groups that say "pushing, aiming for +3" or keys above 16. But on the other hand you don't need MDI pros to do a weekly. Last week I pugged "15 for weekly" and the group was boosting a freshly dinged friend who did less dps than the disc priest, but since we were warned it was a carry run, I was like fine, as long as we don't get hardstuck on a boss I don't mind playing along. And guess what, we even timed it. With 1 person doing next to nothing and rest of the people not exactly being some "pusher pros".

    I wish people were more honest with their capabilities, people who did +15s in previous seasons or did something close to 15 this season, or did some dungeons and not the others - they're probably fine for the weekly, especially when the aim is completion not the timer. A person who never stepped in a dungeon above 10? That's much more doubtful. A player who never did any m+ but "hey I was gladiator in tbc and did CM gold in MOP so I'm a good player"? Nah I somehow doubt you'd know what going on in the dungeons. Knowing your class rotation is not enough, you also need to have some idea about the content (in any form of pve).

    actualy that does seem to be the common trend,its why wow exploded in popularity,it was the first fairly polished casual mmo,its why wrath peaked in subs with its extreme casual raids and dungeons,its why cataclysm saw wow's first decline early on with the adition of hard dungeons and raids,not at the end like these days,and i recal reading a poll about playing on averege chosing easy or normal in games they play
