Don't have time to actually do normal raids Don't have 2 hours per week? :0 If you don't have time, then you don't have to bother - you are why LFR exists. | ||

I have plenty of time to play during the week; just not evenings, which is when basically every guild out there raids. If my time frees up I'll just go back to Midwinter, but it's unlikely that I can free up my evenings. If you can find me a top 100 guild that raids in the mornings, I'm all ears. I've had no such luck in my searches. | ||

I think I've spent about four hours this morning just refreshing the raid finder. I don't think people realize that Normal is Flex, and they still think it's actually the normal raiding mode (which is now Heroic). And this surprises you? Pugs are almost never looking for people who are geared for the content, they want people who overgear so they dont have to pay attention to most of the (already ignorable) mechanics and just derp it down. This is no different from the MoP flex pugs who were looking for players with full heroic(now mythic) gear. | ||

I was hoping Normals would be more laid back, and all the ilvl bullshit would be in Heroics instead. | ||

It will probably be more laid back with time, but on day two of a new raid opening, it's mostly rather hardcore people playing. | ||

The one great constant in WoW is that pugs are terrible and usually a waste of time, the only exception potentially being joining guild runs that need a couple extra people. Good luck with that as dps though. | ||

It was also ridiculous that people were requiring 635-640 for a lot of normal groups. I sneaked into one and the guy said on vent "make sure we have 640 at least" until I reminded him I was destroying their DPS meters as a 632. The sad part is that my old guild on Doomhammer died and the one I joined is full of casual raiders who can't agree on a time to get together (misrepresented how together they were before I joined, but they're pretty nice people). The only Horde side guild with any sort of pedigree on this server isn't recruiting DPS either, so it looks like I'm stuck for now. | ||

It's damn near impossible to find a guild that raids mornings, so I may attempt to piece together a cross server guild or something. | ||

Just left a Butcher group after 90 minutes (three total attempts). Had 6 DPS doing under 10k, including a Monk doing 5k and a Mage doing 7k (both 640+ ilvl). Still trying to figure out the Monk - he wasn't just autoattacking like I thought, but was doing a rotation. It clearly wasn't the correct one, but considering I can do 5k just spamming one button, and Monks are really, really good at DPS right now... I have no idea what the hell he was attempting to do. When I called him out on it he linked the trash meters (where he was pulling 11k) and then ragequit. It was amusing. | ||
