    And yes, everything in my post is about entitled people, because that is what the OP is.
    People have no obligation, neither any obligations forced upon you by Blizzard and neither any moral obligation, to invite you or anybody else to their group.
    The sooner people like you and the OP acknowledge and understand that you have no right to be invited by other people and change your mindset accordingly the faster you can achieve your goals.

    Don't enable the entitled people by saying that it isn't their problem. You will just keep them trapped in their self-inflicted situation.
    Pugging mythic+ for 226 gear in your chest is still massively easier than pugging rated PvP or raids for 226 in your chest.

    Why should it be made even easier?

    Those are all fine and what not. But my gripe is with the gear. Progression has never been more stale. For those that run M+, they are already overgeared. So gear trickles down to those who don't, and they are fully geared in 1-2 runs, 3 if unlucky.

    It should be run mythic dungeons to get enough gear for normal, then heroic, then mythic raiding. But at this point, it's just do mythic dungeons then go straight to mythic raiding. ??? Like why

    Because it’s giving 226, and it’s already the easiest source.

    Its place in the game makes sense to me. It’s a very gradual drip of gear that’s designed to allow characters to keep improving and not hit a stone wall. For heroic guilds, it gives pretty meaningful gear upgrades, but it’s not so plentiful that their gear will match mythic raiders. I think having this available to heroic raiders, and doable by fairly casual groups, improves the game.

    Why do you think it makes the game worse?
    Having 3 progression paths, with 1 massively easier than the other 2, isn’t a good design in my opinion.

    Mythic+ is already the easiest and most accessible. In my opinion making it even easier isn’t a good approach to the game.

    Because rewards being relative to difficulty is a fundamental RPG and game in general reward structure some of us enjoy?

    What would be the bad outcome if 226 gear was on a cheap vendor so it’s accessible to everyone regardless of ability?

    Obviously that’s an extreme example, but the principle is the same, with the key being where you draw the line.

    So exactly like it is now? If you make what exists now easier then it won't be for Heroic level raiders. World quests reward 194 which is end of dungeon level for +5 and that has the weekly vault at +15 item level. It doesn't need to be made easier.

    Too many cruel oil rig bosses in this thread for me. Try helping the community instead of staying entitled and supporting the toxic system just because it supports you. If you didn't pug your way to KSM I don't see how you can understand what off meta classes have been dealing with or you have never have bothered to notice in the last two xpacs how these issues can fester.

    The dungeon count doesn't lie. There will be a massive disparity by the end of the season. Because even after all these months in people are choosing to pretend that not learning how to complete dungeons in time with all classes somehow makes you better at the game.

    Tired of reading your hard stuck, I walked through snow and now you all have to and no I won't help you with what I have learned old world logic. It is a game. Stop acting like it isn't. You sound like old people talking about younger generations as if you are entitled to be the gate keepers of content. And always have...

    You keep referring to good design which is not an argument- why is it good? How does it make the game better?
    In my opinion, a reward structure where difficulty and level of reward are aligned is an enjoyable experience because it makes overcoming challenges fulfilling since they give greater rewards as the challenge goes up.

    To me, when there are multiple paths to the same rewards and one is significantly easier than the rest, it throws this reward structure out of balance and creates a feeling of “why bother doing the harder content when I can do something much easier for the same reward.” Or finally overcoming a challenge and sharding all the rewards because I have the same or better from a much easier source.

    Obviously opinions differ, but I feel a game is more enjoyable when the rewards correlate with the difficulty. Right now mythic+ is a lot easier and more accessible than rated PvP or raids for the same reward, but it does have a downside of being more RNG heavy and item limited. To me making it even easier isn’t an improvement.

    If someone else wants it to be an easy source of good gear that’s fine, they can voice that argument, and I’ll voice the opposite.

    As usual, the problem is not the content, it’s the people.

    KSM is not difficult per se, it’s difficult because if you don’t have your fixed group of friends/guildies/whatever, you will find terrible people (not per se, terrible at playing) in pug and will fail 7-8 keys on 10.

    And also making your own group has low chances to guarantee a “victory”, because as you may have noticed there are a lot of ppl out there with high rio that you don’t know how they could made to that rio since they play bad.

    Today I joined a PF 12, we were all 900 to 950 rio. The tank was good, but all dps had 3k dps. All of 3. HOW THE HELL DID YOU REACH 950 rio WITH 3k DPS? Infact the run took 65 minutes and 70 deaths to be completed.

    And this happens all the fokkin times. It’s the people, not the game.

You also get 233 gear at the end. And practically speaking, heroic raiders typically won't start getting +14 gear right at the start of a tier. As a result, mythic raiders will still be 5-6 item levels ahead of heroic raiders most of the time.

    So to me, the rewards are still correlated with difficulty. Mythic raiding is most rewarding, then mythic+, then heroic. Personally, I don't think that the vault should have as big a role in gearing as it does, it's kinda sad that you get your best upgrade of the week the first minute you log in, but that's a separate discussion.
    Right now, yeah it is kinda, hence why mythic+ shouldnt be easier or reward better stuff, it already provides the vault upgrades which are huge and its the fastest way for early gearing, if you make it easier its unfair for the other progression paths and if you improve its farmable rewards, then you make heroic raiding useless, just like BFA, you dont remember how heroic raiding was worse than just spamming +15s in terms of ilvl? this was terrible design and people are unironically wanting this back, makes no sense.

    And pvp isnt niche the moment you can engage with it, its another progression path and should be considered also, which atm is the most broken one since thanks to that you can gear yourself with 226 bis pieces fairly fast, do you think its fair for m+ and mythic raiding that if you pvp you start mythic progression with 233 weapons? cause this is exactly what happened and why pvp gearing is broken.

    Ppl hating on the word entitled but no one can describe why they should be invited over other options. If I have other better classes with higher ilvl and higher rio, it IS entitlement to think you should be invited over them.

    I think it's a symptom of fire mages being so busted that essentially one ranged dps spot is always unavailable for others.

    Meanwhile, for the majority of the world, fire mages actually suck. People rolled to it thinking it was going to be brain dead and literally can’t combust without double hitting fire blast and fail Phoenix. Oh well.

    In tyrannical you gotta pull big against trash. That's why I said the route needs to be good as well. With a good route and people who do mechanics, you can easily time any dungeon on 10-14 with not much dps.

    The problem with bad groups is that everyone is bad. Tanks who don't know what to pull when. Healers who don't know when to do damage and when to heal. And dps players who don't know how to best use their cooldowns. Combine all three and you maybe end up with a group that doesn't time a key even though they didn't wipe. And here is the thing: I never encountered such a group because I am part of the group and I do my part to not fail the timer. I'm the tank who put in a lot of time and effort to learn what to pull when. So even if I don't have the best dps players in my group, the timer won't be an issue unless people mess up and die.

    Every single player in a 5 man group can carry the run in the 10-15 range as long as the rest of the group is not completely braindead. Every. Single. Player. The reason people miss the timer so hard, is not that the others are sooooo bad. It's because you are bad as well. Everyone should learn this lesson. We are all making mistakes and we could all be better. The low dps players are not the sole reason a 10-15 key depletes.

    Sure, but I just told you why you’re wrong. Your anecdotal evidence cannot dispute mine, because yours says mine isn’t true whereas mine requires zero from you.

    Therefore; I’m telling you people fail. And you’re probably worse than most players, I agree.

    If you count up the number of shit melee has to avoid compared to number of shit ranged has to avoid, you'd realize why melee gets hit more.

    Take that pull right before the gauntlet in SD. You got the mist dancer, gargoyle, and grand overseer. Depending on how good the tank is, you have the thrusts from the dancer littering the place. Then you have to dodge the swirlies on the ground from gargoyle. But don't accidentally run past them, into the 1 safe spot around all the thrusts, because thats where the tank positioned the gargoyle and now you've been cleaved with the severing sweep or whatever it is, and are now ticking for 30% of your hp. On top of that you have to run away from the chains from the overseer. All while trying to do damage, while your character is doing a bunch of flashy shit and all the bright spell effects from the ranged are blowing up on the mobs.

    Meanwhile what do I have to worry about in that pull as a ranged? Sidestepping 3 yards every 15 sec to avoid the swirlies from the gargoyle. All because I outrange everything else.

    Don't even get me started on affixes.

    What do you expect? This guy's argument is "I have seen bad fire mages, so all fire mages are meta slaves and suck, they're only good in MDI". Clearly this guy has never pugged with a fire mage with >800 rio score.

    I mean, when the answer to the statement "I have never had a timer fail if there was no wipe" (a 100% subjective statement) is "YOU'RE WRONG", what do you expect from someone like that?

    Not much tbh. Just trying to discern if he really thinks melee players are just bad and thats why they generally take more dmg lol.

    What I have learned before I got to my KSM:

    Open Group Finder
    Create a group
    Invite best people who sign up

    Profit. Here, well of knowledge has been shared.

    Also use Dratnos routes and use WoWhead M+ tips and Tricks if you are pushing.

    "Old people" blah blah blah, dude, what do you want us to do? Boost him? I mean there are better people in the que, that is it.
    "You don't know if they are better" No I don't but statistically better rio and better ilvl players will outpeform lower rio and lower ilvl players. I don't want life story of each person I invite. It's all based on fastest way to do what I want to do - push keys.
    That's why I very rarely join pugs. I don't like waiting.
