Like many of you, I continue to be frustrated at the state of Mythic+. Healing continues to be not fun. Last week was not exception because it was supposed to be a healer affix depending on who you ask. Never mind talenting into Cleanse or Decurse or something as DPS players, right?
But that’s not it.
There’s also the state of tanks who like to pull everything and then decide to blame you when they go splat because they overestimate their own capabilities now compared to season 4 when they could just buy all the trinkets and stuff they wanted. The more mobile ones especially just like to run ahead of everyone before collapsing when we’re all trying to catch up to help them.
But no, that’s not it either.
For me, it’s far more irritating.
It’s the players who sign up for a key, then promptly get invited, and summoned, and on the ready check say, “Hang on, brb” followed by some variation of:
- Making a coffee
- Need to use bathroom
- Cooking mac and cheese
- Need to finish my taxes
- Have to fix my hair
Buddy, could you not have done all of this before queueing up for my key? We are all here, literally ready to go! Why couldn’t you do all that bullshit before looking and applying for keys? That’s what that break was for! We would’ve absolutely taken someone else and you could use that time to get all your stuff done! There’s been times I’ve let my coffee sit cold and I have a microwave to reheat it again if I need to. I’ve waited for a cut scene before sneaking to the bathroom real fast. My mac and cheese can hold out on the counter! It’s not even tax season! And no one’s even looking at you right now to comment on your hair!
Look, some of us have a limited time to play, and we need to squeeze every ounce of key time in as possible to chase those GIlded Crests so we can upgrade our loot so that our raid leader doesn’t give us the death stare!
I’m asking you from the bottom of my ice cold heart, and please go do all of your pre-dungeon tasks before applying for a key so we can minimize waiting and blast keys that much faster and so that my food, flasks, and mana oils don’t tick because I really don’t want to prop up the Pausing Pylon cartel.
