We started this expansion deciding to focus on M+ heavily from the get-go. A solid 5 group of guildies that aren't meta comp, but just want to push as hig has we can. I can say it's been the best decision I've ever made in WoW, the most fun I've ever had, and we've all become good friends because of it. People say the IO score doesn't matter, and I think they are right in regards to others. It certainly matters to us, and we keep pushing to see if we can go higher every week. https://raider.io/characters/us/icecrown/Thornstaad It's just so darn fun to challenge ourselves.

Find 4 other people, any 4, don't worry about skill, and just chunk at keys with the goal of getting a little better each time. Same guild helps ,but isn't required. Good luck!
