    And I totally agree. I mean, seriously, it's understandable.
    I'm just saying it's weird, for example, not getting an inv for +13, though you've already done +15, but you got lower r.io.

    Just an example:
    If I only do FH/TD/WM each week in the new season at +15, then I probably have much more experience in that dungeon than someone who just does different dungeons at +10 but has higher r.io.

    I would certainly invite a person who has done ~5-10 +15 runs of TD for +13 TD instead of someone who has higher r.io just because he has done every other dungeons at +10.


    Anyway, because of the quarantine I think that I'll try to boost my r.io score anyway, just for fun, because I like doing dungeons but in the last season I didn't have that much time for doing that.

    thanks but in reality its just copy paste idea from King's Avatar novel/anime.

    imagine a realm where all those who want to prove they are wearing big boy pants could prove it.

    ofc it should offer compeltly unique rewards for those who dont fail in process.

    Yes and this is experience. Tbh I don't care about the rio score itself. I only care about the experience. And if someone has done 50+ +15-20s for example, I don't care about the rio score much. There just happen to be a correlation between rio score and number of finished keys, because most people don't just do the same 3 dungeons in my experience. But I also value people who actually want to do M+ and not just for the reward.

    Please. This is absolutely not true.

    And WoW have difficulties for all levels. There is something for everyone. Why do you want to ruin it for people who like more challenging content?

    The problem is that people cant accept that some content is just out of there league. They should just do the stuff they can manage.

    Saying that you need to practice something before you can be good at it is not an opinion.

    Saying that you are good at PVE is like saying you are good at sports. It's not specific.

    Just because you are a good raider doesn't mean you are good at M+. It requires experience and practice with the specific content. You cannot be good at Shrine (for example) if you have only done the dungeon 5 times. It takes practice. That's not an opinion.

    Just like being good at football doesn't mean you're good at basketball.

    And you will still die every second trash pack to instagibs if you have no experience in current dungeons.

    I do a lot of m+ and sure, sometimes its frustrating that for example a random dps pulls two packs on bolstering and group ends up with some giga mob that kills the group and afterwards the same culprit leaves and the group disbands. But who cares, really? Its a game. If you can't handle that sometimes the game doesn't go your way, you are playing the wrong game. If you have problems with queue time to dungeons, then you are playing the wrong game (or spec).
    I'd argue differently here.

    This is all in all just poor game design, which invites this much toxicity in the first place and you're basically at the mercy of each player. Before m+ you could always replace anyone in your group and parties would rarely truly fall apart.

    This whole don't like it don't play it attitude itself is pretty toxic, even though you were trying hard to sound reasonable, which you aren't. An attitude like this is also part of the reason why people think that this community sucks and also part of the reason why so many people quit WoW.

    Your group consists of a BM hunter, a BDK, a mage, and a disc priest, you are about to go into shrine of the storm 15, it's a tyrannical week, out of 20 DPS queued for your key there are 4 magi with high raider io score, and 16 whatever players between 600 and 1000 score, would you pick a mage in this situation?

    "You will be pushed of a bridge and fall to your death if you don't eat a big pile of shit. Would you eat the shit in this situation?"

    Sounds stupid right? Well so do you.

    You are painting a scenario where no melee dps (I know what you were doing) with high rio score is applying to a group that already has both a tank and a healer. This is a completely unrealistic scenario. If I had a group ready to go and only missing 1 dps, I would have 50 Rogues and DHs applying with high rio score. So you can take your stupid made-up scenario and go home.

    Also, do you think a person above 1000 has a high rio score?

    I'd pick none of the above and sit in queue til an adequate player appears.
    I'd rather not play at all than be in a group with an incompetent player.

    My checklist is as follows:

    -Do they have an amount of 15s done IN TIME to match the current week of the season?

    If yes, proceed to step two.

    -Look at their raid logs to see their damage.
    Anything less than purple parses I ignore.



    Ta-da you now know the members of your group are capable of doing the content. This has been the recipie for success since challenge modes were implemented. No raid logs, no way to determine dps.

    You don't even have to wait because in that scenario the queue would already be full of Demon Hunters with high rio scores :P

    It's a scenario i have to deal with every week, because that's what we play. You asked "why would anybody choose the ones with low experience?" - i answered - because you need to consider more things than someones experience, now you backpedal, good for you i guess.

    I have no clue what is considered "high rio score" because i don't give a shit about it.

    Well I do because I don't want to carry people through dungeons without being payed.

    And you're lying about that scenario. No way that you have a full group ready to go, and you cant find a DH, Warrior or Rogue with a high rio score. That's just not true. The game are full of them. The only reason why people with high rio scores would join your group is if you have a low rio score yourself. And I think that's the case.

    Sorry I lol’d

    But man, I respect your right to play with who you want, when and how you want, but you don’t have to be derogatory to everyone who doesn’t meet your standards XD

    Hell yeah, as soon as i notice someone is being annoying or too "elite" (aka, look at me, I'm the best in the game and i know better than all the other 4 people) ill quit their group and ruin their key.

    They deserve it. Not like they don't quit my keys cuz they think someone in the group sucks or the DPS is not good enough. So ye, M+ is a warzone and i don't care anymore. Just hope i don't join your groups, cuz i left over 50000 groups and i pissed off a million people. If they cant behave, i got 0 patience for "badasses"Act normally or face the consequences. I won't change, if others don't, then this is how things will be forever LOL (i don't mind wasting my time, or other people's time either.) Gaming is a big waste of time anyway. So might as well punish a few (SUPER RUDE AND ANNOYING) people.

    You may call me the Batman of WoW

    Im a tank btw. So ye, i don't tolerate BS for the last 1 year and this is how things will be. Doesnt matter if its MM 4-8/pushing to 15 or more.

    Ahhh humanities greed never fails to disappoint me. I get not wanting to waste your time if you’re short on it, but man, does every would-be selfless act require monetary gain these days? If the content is cleared in time, what’s the difference if you did 10% more damage, or even 20%.

    Take some pride in being good enough to do it, and help somebody out at the same time.

    Wow, your guildies must love you with that attitude of yours

    Well i am indeed lying in this scenario, because usually we just grab whatever from the guild - a feral druid, a frost DK, that on-and-off rogue player, maybe grab a healer than got into WoW two months ago and run her through high keys to make her ready for hard content. But sometimes we need to grab someone from queue and i wasn't counting how many rogues and DHs there is or what their raider io score is, usually i consider things like having a mass dispel for kings rest, two melee for shrine of the storm (one melee if we are in voice coms), some form of CC to help with necrotic, etc.

    Anyone who says that they "carried" someone has no leg to stand on, unless that carried person was afk and did nothing but loot the chest at the end of the key

    Then run keys well above 15 and I'm pretty sure no filthy casual tries to get their weekly chest done in +20.

    I don't understand why players who claim they've ran 100s of dungeons and have mountains of experience would still be running 15s at this point of the season, and then have problem with typical audience of said content. It's like complaining your typical heroic raid pug doesn't consist of world top mythic raiders. Even if you're a world top mythic raider yourself. It's still unrealistic expectation.

    You're assuming that all players need to look up guides to understand things, this is not true for everybody.
    I'd argue that to burn out a 15 key you don't even need to be good at m+, you need to be good at playing your character and your character needs to be well-equipped for m+. After you've done a dungeon once you get a hang of it (which buffs you need to remove, where to pop your cooldowns, what unique situational ability can be useful, etc) question of if you'll finish 15 in time is up to "how many mistakes did your party did?".

    I mean, if you are slow learner you may need to spam m+ every week to get a hang of it

    There are mythic raiding guilds that kill mythic queen and wiped 10 times or more on mythic wrathion. It's not unreasonable to expect that someone who only does 1 15 a week probably isn't as useful as someone who does 10 plus a week.
