We jumped into the Mythics the moment we hit 110 and I thought they were a blast. At 845 now they're pretty faceroll. Arcway and Court of Stars were both also pretty disappointing. I know the challenge will come with Mythic+ though and I'm excited for that.

Seems like we've gone full circle in a way. Originally people had to work at making groups and it was such a time-sink / drag for people who didn't have a regular group to run with that they implemented a LFG tool and Heroic versions of dungeons. Then they started adding fancy achievements to dungeons that you ran really efficiently which begat eXtreMe dungeon running in the form of Mythic. Now we're at the point where everyone is meant to faceroll the dungeons on day one in LFG, faceroll them on day two in Heroic and to have baseline dungeon experiences you have Mythic+0.

I just want to be able to login and have a decently challenging experience that is somewhere between the currently-breastfeeding keyboard turning healer and the red-bull addicted "how R you not ilevel 855 by now bro??" elitists.

You can always do dungeons with me. I'm quite possibly the slowest person in the guild because I've been adulting pretty hard.

I'm also the most laid back guild leader and player you'll ever meet..

I'm sure that's the entire point of the mythic+N series, as it lets you tune it to your group. It's just really early in the expansion. If I wasn't 'working from home', I'm sure I'd still be level 108 right now just slowly plodding through zones and artifact stuff. I'm pretty sure that's the expected pace, not people doing mythic during the 2nd week.

Its been a fucking week and you're not ilvl 855 all mythics complete now just going for achieves? Shitlords indeed. I am also getting close to my next Professor title. Which I really want. Professor is a badass title.

I have mixed feelings about world quests involving FUCKING FAGGOT PET BATTLES and PVP. I do love the PVP talents though and I'm getting good at wrecking bitches with WW monk since the Touch of Death/ Paralyze/Stun/SotW/fists of fury/hamstring basically kills any casual PVP player who isn't paying attention and doesn't blow a defensive CD immediately.

Meanwhile I escape via dragon kick/Chi Torpedo and enjoy walking away from explosions as they die chasing me not realizing I already killed them.

But seriously, when you see a nice WQ reward and realize the quest is a pet battle. Fffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I literally want every 5man to be like Heroic Shattered Halls in original BC. That was the greatest accomplishment of encounter tuning. Had to plan CC and attacks before hand, kite sometimes.

Also M'uru for raids.

The only pet WQ rewards I've seen are pet bandges or those tokens, and PVP WQ's as pvp gear or gold. I've been skipping them. What else can they drop??

Agreed. Tanking Heroic Shattered Halls at release (after I got my key... of course) was one of my greatest achievements. I think I was sweating by the end.

Original Heroics, especially Shattered Halls, were garbage. But that was more to do with only 1 dps class having easily re-applied CC (well 2 but hunters were too stupid to scatter + freezing trap).

Pro guilds I think just spammed warlocks and def war with piercing howl to just kite dot the entire dungeon.

Here's one for ya

Fish forever to get a rare lure drop. Pop lure that lasts 5 minutes. Run around looking for the school of fish it reveals, die to bunch of shit near water, lose buff from rare drop lure. Rage quit.

One of the first times Ive considered punching monitor.

I guess I lucked out with that one. I found a school in the center of the Nar'Thalas Academy lake. The pool doesn't dry up either and I got like 20 of them

Pro Tip: save rare fish if you already have 800 skill. They're artifact power for the fishing pole as I understand it.

I too kept the shark in my inventory while I continued to fish the pool and it despawned so I WTFD?

Did the same thing with the Scale that summons a murloc. Killed a bunch of murlocs and didn't realize one had the fucking lure so I just left it as I was focused on fishing.

If you don't have Find Fish any of this shit would suuuuuuuck

I feel the same way, and I've found the best way to deal with it is to just make my own mythic groups. I advertise them as "No stress, just some fun" or something similar. I've been surprised by the number of people who join and make a comment about being tired of jerks or people taking shit so seriously.
