Oomph those weeks when the 370 from Warfront quest and mythic+ cache are both for the only two slots for which you’re already set. I’m going to try and grind out a buncha M+ this week to get raiderio score up for higher pug invites.
Some weird shit happening US side, last week's world boss spawned again and gave loot (2 worldbosses up at the same time) and some people got last weeks affixes on their keystones

What ilvl are you now and what kinda pugs are you hoping to do? I've been having an easy time completing +8 lately and I'd be happy to let you join if that's what you're after. I haven't been able to beat the timer on +9 yet, but I've only tried twice.
Frustrating that it's hard to farm loot from islands because people queue in with you and fill up the azerite bar before you can loot the final event chests. I could easily be soloing normal if not heroic to do it "properly" but i can't queue in alone

Wait, what? There's loot on islands? You mean those things where you farm up 12k before the timer runs out?
Yeah, you apparently get all of the actual loot by ignoring all of the azerite ores/chests, most of the mobs, the azerite event and beating the enemy team when they have >95% of their bar filled.
But you get exp and AP from.. not doing that, just finishing it ASAP, so a lot of people either don't know or only want exp/AP.

god damn it. There are so many things about this expansion that either make no sense or are never said anywhere. I am sure I am missing some kinda 370 weekly things.
Here is roughly what my weekly objectives are:
- Run heroic Uldir except g'huun - Mythic +9 chest - Generally run Mythic 8/9 throughout the week - Farm heroes of azeroth rep for my stupid ass neck piece - weekly boss - weekly reward for filling that island expedition bar that gives like 2500 AP
Are there any other high-value things I should be doing?
emissaries in general, doing 4 wq's that are highish value and/or easy over a 72 hour period is quite low effort for the 1500 rep and 700g or other rewards

If you find a third one, i'll queue with you. I'm just standing around afk anyway, contemplating where i went wrong in my life to get stuck in the Endless Halls. Assuming you play EU.

Since 90% of the people will be there for the AP weekly this makes sense. So use groupfinder to make a dedicated farm group? Its kinda what its there for.

Beta for Azeroth!
Yeah, I agree with your logic. I just don't have a group capable of doing +10 currently. I am ilvl 356 right now. Anyone on NA wanna bring a lonely Mohdoo along on their +10 attempts?

Argh, the alliance part might be a problem, considering that i play horde. I was surprised that cross-server grouping is a thing, but cross-faction might be a stretch. Sorry, didn't know.
I ended up leveling an alt during times when I could play but couldn't commit to mythic+ or raid. I tried to do LFR last night and we nearly wiped on fetid and we wiped on vectis twice so I just left. What a mess. Gonna try again today because it's historically smoother on reset day. But I wasn't expecting it to be such a problem. Not enough people stood in the red circles in phase 2 so we had 4 adds up when the boss reappeared. You'd hope that at least 5-6 people know the mechanic but apparently it was just me and a few others.
On fetid we nearly hit the enrage timer and we ended up killing the boss when both tanks were dead and DPS were getting picked off one-by-one. So it was really close. I think 4-5 people stood in regurgitation and died? And healers just weren't focusing heals on tanks so the tanks were dying too.
edit: also gear complaint: I did the rares in arathi and the boss there. I got 370 shoulders from the boss which is great. Then I proceeded to get 4x shoulders from the rares. And I got an azerite cache that gave me shoulders. So my azerite pieces are 300/370/300 still haha. Then I opened my mythic+ cache on my monk, who has 385 shoulders, and got another pair of 385 shoulders. I've had my periods of luck with loot though so it's fine
edit2: just got another azerite cache, shoulders again
Had my first LFR experience yesterday, i'll be honest: i didn't know any of the mechanics either, and one player was a bit of a dickhead, queued as healer but played DPS.
Didn't wipe, even though me and the other healers went dry multiple times, once only made it by angeling the tank twice - god knows what boss that was, the hydra thingy or whatever.
Mechanics aren't hard to understand (though that disinfection chamber i still haven't exactly understood - i just know that if people go through to the next chamber, the entire raid gets damaged, so i just stuck with the main tank and ran over together with him), so if you wipe multiple times it's either gear or people that just can't be bothered to put an effort in.
