I don't think i've ever 3 chested a BFA dungeon, like literally ever even a single time. Big change from Legion! The fact that we're not getting meaningful amounts of artifact power any more is a big part of that, we're only being driven by loot amounts and ilevels. The HoA AP is practically worthless by comparison.

Whenever i queued into low keys i got people that are incompetent to the point where they struggle to make +2 even with a big dps boost, and whenever i'm doing like 12's it's with people that know their shit so they go on pace for 12+2 and maybe some of them fuck up and don't make +2, but a lot of the time it goes smooth. +2 allows for 1.33x more time than +3 and that's a change of pace that i haven't seen anybody be able to target without deliberately under leveling their keys to the point of dropping reward quality.

Those 12+2 guys have no incentive to go back and do 9+3 instead. They're pushed to go do the 14 key or have a handful of people in their group delete their keys to reroll on new 11 keys from the 12 chest (you can do that now!) and pick the dungeon that they want.

But raiderIO already solves that problem because if you dont have the DPS you want make timers.. As a supplement it might be fine, but its never going to be a driver and you are asking for information to a question that it already sort of answers.

The useful thing is +2ing 9s because 11s are useful keys to have

I think that seeing if a dps made timer gives you even less info than glancing over a few of their dungeon logs.

I think if you are pushing keys then a player's best runs can speak for themselves. Obviously a DPS with a bunch of 12-15's completed in time is pulling their weight and I don't feel like I need to see their numbers.

But when you are forming groups for lower keys, where these absolute newb casual players are a possibility, then it's nice to know if the DPS you are inviting is gonna do more damage than the healer. Because even if they're not, they can still make timer on these low keys by being carried so their raider.io profile is not that informative. If you happen to unknowingly invite more than 1 trash player, you can fail a timer on a +4 or something and that's obviously unacceptable to a 1k+ player. Or if you are undergeared or several players in the group are undergeared and you're counting on pugs pulling their weight for their ilvl, and then they turn out to be below-average players, that is frustrating.



What's especially good about 11s?

doing an 11 means you get a 10 next week which means you don't have to push a key that week for the weekly chest.

Dude, total realm population is not the same as the population using war mode. A lot of alliance just arent interested in pvp so never turned it on. Alliance starts getting in shards where theres a lot of horde and no more alliance to throw into the shard and start getting camped or pushed off quest/world quest areas. They get fed up and turn off war mode. Theres less and less alliance using war mode and it snowballs to the point that theres hardly any alliance left in warmode now. This is happening in every region.

It'll be really hard to recover from this now, because you'll be the minority if you enable WM again. Hordes with WM on are PvP starved because of a lack of allies, so you'll get camped. And towns will be empty, you can't trade with guildies, nor get help with WQs from randoms around you. It's totally going against the stream just for 10% more rewards, which amounts to nearly nothing.

You can at least get different traits for mainspec or failing that, offspec pieces. That's how i have an array of havoc gear + a 385 and 370 with BIS veng traits
