Why dont ppl accept benthic-black empire geared alts for legacy mount farms?

[Nnyco]

I mean if i wanna boost a shitty alt i ask my friends if they need help. If it bothers you too much you can always make your own group.

[Evolixe]

Its the same reason most groups just took max level toons instead of low level ones to xmog and mount runs before the squish. Your dmg is so pitiful at that ilvl all you do is buff the hp of the bosses making them harder.

Didn't they recently remove the mechanic where the boss hp was affected by the amount of players in the instance?

[Garymorilix]

You need some Statistics lessons, but I won't bother anymore.

Read about geometric distributions.



I agree with you.

Alright prof, maybe you should get back behind the school desk and stop trying to make simple math an "opinion".

You are just wrong.

Google is your friend tho, google what a 1% drop chance means. It will do the math for ya.

I am talking of the cummulative chance of not getting the mount several attempts in a row, not the chance to get the mount each time.
Now do the math with 2000+ attempts at 99%(supposed chance of not getting the mount), ignorant fool.

Title^^

I have 15 alts with benthic and black empire gear mixed, ranging between 64-70 ilevel
Ive done dozens of runs, this ilevel is completly fine for Guldan and Argus runs
Yet a lot of people rather wait in q for 10 more minutes than invite alts like this...
Everybody profits here, i just dont see why they have to be jerks

I only invite people who are 100+ (Which isn't much anyway) because it's my run not yours

Simple as that really

the same reason why ilvl has been a thing since WotLK. People with higher ilvl naturally know more about the class and do better dps.

Congratz, you passed basic math.
Yes, with 1% success chance there is a 99% for failure.

Which means that your chance at failing is 0,99^X where X is your number of attempts.
0,99^2000 is an incredibly small number but not 0.

What you fail to understand is that you are never guaranteed to get the mount. This is a probability.
Best you can do is estimate how many attempts it would take but there is no bad luck protection.

Check my original post, I never claimed that mounts were guaranteed. My claim is the mount is not 1% for each person.

I based my assumption on the fact that the stats I provided suggest a ridiculously small number (0,000000000271%). Specially when I have similar experiences from a couple of friends also farming this mount.

It is much more likely that the 1% drop change is GROUP WIDE or it is bugged as it happened with Gul'dan.

Do you also believe in St claus?

[GnomeEU]

Because they can get people with better gear.
The same skilled player with better gear will perform better.

The avg wow player is not very good at the game. And you can be sure that those that need 10 weeks for their +15 will require others to have uber gear and an achievement because thats the only way they could beat the content.

It's the same for hc nyalotha. I get rejected one or two weeks after that I already outlvl the content and don't care anymore.

If you want to be ahead of the curve you have to make your own group with friends

[Cracked]

Thats not even remotely true.

The chance to hit a 1% drop in 700 runs is nit the same as the probability to hit 1% in 700 runs.

Then you are using some cooked definition of "chance". Define it. Because mathematically, they are synonymous.

[Nite92]

Harder? not if you're competent. you might take a minute more per boss.

Yes harder was the wrong word. But why would i bring a guy with 60 ilvl, and make the dungeon 5 minutes longer, when i could get one with 125 and make it 5 min faster instead?

[ymirsson]

i don't claim to know it exactly, but i doubt those numbers. especially the correlation between ilvl and time. unless you're doing above average content, like M+10, HC raids, or comparative.

edit: i'd rather have a player that doesn't have the gear or the experience but is willing to learn and listen to commands. thats not measurable in the LFD browser of course.

when i had a PUG go south, it seldomly was the freshly max level dinged guy wanting to see the raid/mythic dungeon or whatever. idiots are present at any ilvl.

[Elkfingers]

I feel like your slow.

Takes me 10 mins to do the cloak quest

10 mins to do the world boss

Maybe between 30 to 35 mins to do both invasions.

- - - Updated - - -



Not even trolling. Ive done it multiple times. Just cause you cany does not mean it is possible.

Dude this is such a weird flex. On a freshly dinged character, you literally don't have the damage to speedrun all of that shit.

Fuck, I hate that I have to type the next sentence because it always comes off douchey af but I mean for context, I'm a cutting edge raider and casual PvE content isn't difficult enough that anything could possibly make me slow - I know that you can't do what you're claiming because I play the same game as you.

Even if somehow the stars aligned and every single ability crit, and you managed to cover distance impossibly quickly so you could come in under that ridiculous time limit, the gear you'd get wouldn't even be ilvl 100, let alone push your average ilvl to 100.

What happened to you? Like why are you trying to convince everyone here that you can do something we all know literally can't be done?

[AlmightyGerkin]

THIS SO MUCH. The amount of time that you lose every single run because of those lazy fucks spamming 123 every 15 seconds, instead of moving their lazy asses is absolutely fucking insane. I'm slightly over 500 attempts currently, and I could count on one hand the number of times where i wasn't the one who had to do all the summons, since NO ONE EVER FUCKING DOES it, everyone is waiting to be summoned, and even the people who do go to the fucking raid usually just run in instead of helping with summons. Nothing else in this game can get me as annoyed as this, just glad SL is around the corner and we will be able to solo it finally and won't have to rely on those morons T_T

Wish 1 day just 1 that they remove portals and summoning stones and see people freak out

Depends. A really undergeared dps can cost you 20% overall dmg, meaning you will be a bit less than 20% slower (if he doesn't die). But that is not the point.

But how does willing to learn help you get a +1 on your key? Having better geared people just increases the chances of success. And let's be fair. A person not being able to do a +10 key or a heroic raid is many things, but willing to learn is none of those things (in general, maybe there are a few, but it would literally take you 10 minutes to inform yourself about a +10 dungeon and maybe 30 minutes to inform yourself about the raid.)

Your last argument is also quite odd. The person who puts more time into the game, is more emotionally attached to it, and to his success in this specific activity? Shocker.

Saying lower ilvl players are better, is just no true in general, while exceptions obviously exist.

- - - Updated - - -

Easy.

Once you hit 50. Do your cloak quest (takes less than 10 minutes) thats a big ilvl jump alone.

Do both invasions you are garuanteed at least 3 items for doing them the first time.

Kill the world bosd (not guanteed but will up your ilvl if it drops.

The rest use tokens from nvasions. Just kill rares. Enough people in the zones that you can get the tag and let them kill it.

Ive done this in 7 alts. They were all ilvl 100 with an hour ready to raid normal.

Anyine whi uses benthic gear for ilvl

WTF? Cloak questline takes less than 10 minutes? This is just untrue.
You are just delusional.


What does your last sentence even mean. The guy you quotes obviously correct.

[Tiwack]

is all of Legion now Legacy?

Yes, has been since summer.

[Lavey]

The answer is same as it always has been: A lot of shitters play WoW and those players treat the game as a single player experience. If they don't see your presence as a benefit they won't give you the time of day, plain and simple. Same as real life!

This man gets me and my take on everyone's existence.

[Axeros]

Wish 1 day just 1 that they remove portals and summoning stones and see people freak out

I have few ideas

after receiving portal , game doesnt give you any loot for 15minutes .

Accepting summon will tranfer 1k gold from you to person which summoned you and to one helped with summon. Summon cant be accpeted unless you have more than 2k gold in inventory.

I really like second idea, so many ppl start rushing to instances and summoning ppl for free golds . Rich ppl still doesnt give fucks but , hey , ppl gladly take 1k gold from you )

if that came in i would stopping accepting summons screw paying ppl for a summon same reason i dont take mage portals mages have been greedy about portal prices since cata
