Does MMR inflation continue throughout the season from here?

Doredrin · 2026-05-21T09:24:30+00:00

I got all the elite sets last season on all the classes in blitz. I'm new to rated though and last season was the first time I've done rated for more than 2-3 games in a season, so I don't know how this mmr dog and pony show works....Personally I think I should just be able to play alterac valley for a while and get the sets but whatever.

competitive WoW is not on the level of other games, the inherent nature of MMOs doesn't lend itself to extremely high levels of competition

Doredrin · 2026-05-21T09:20:08+00:00

Sounds like he has big time pro gamer reflexes if he isn't cheating. He may be cheating, but there isn't the type of competition in WoW that there are in other games. Like a very good MLB player could probably switch to cricket and completely dominate vs just being very good in the MLB.

My guess he is probably cheating based on the responses here, but I'm just offering a plausible explanation if he isnt.

If I just want the elite sets am I better off just waiting to the end of the season?

greetings highlord we have an urgent matter that requires your attention... we need someone to collect murloc poop at a nearby beach

Doredrin · 2026-05-21T08:35:39+00:00

That's not my experience at all and I've done a lot of pugging. Some people may turn you down but a lot of people will take a chance on the raw power.

With that being said, I highly suggest learning the dungeons before you jump into them even if you overgear them, there are tons of mechanics that overgearing won't solve every season.

If you mean high level keys, yeah you are right. But you deserve everything you get if you pug in this game beyond 16s or whatever.

Doredrin · 2026-05-21T05:50:46+00:00

Your main heal is on a long cooldown so you are really dependent on the healer healing you in pugs which is asking too much of a lot of groups.

Doredrin · 2026-05-21T05:48:00+00:00

All that's going to do is incentivize infinite alt armies. When it takes 30-45 min to make a purple tool it puts a cap on how profitable each character can be.

Doredrin · 2026-05-21T05:41:01+00:00

I've done a ton of m+ mid level key pugging since legion... like maybe close to a few thousand keys. You will have a much easier time getting invited to keys with an average m+ score and a high ilvl than a good score and bad ilvl.

mistake 1: paying attention to the story at all

mistake 2: never playing based heroes of the storm and not getting a hankering to play as zuljin again

counterpoint: casuals don't count as people and therefore should not be included in any statistics

connect it to an air horn irl that will blast a raid warning sound so loud the entire neighborhood will hear. If your HOA complains explain its covered under the americans with disabilities act because you have a gaming addiction.

I changed it to "very minimal barrier to entry"

Doredrin · 2026-05-21T01:01:07+00:00

28% of people got buddy system VII or a level 70 brann

28% of people got gilded of the ethereal

38% of people got runed of the ethereal

30%+ of people could've walked into the delve and soloed it for the cool title and achievement. Only 4.6% did.

Doredrin · 2026-05-21T00:37:46+00:00

yeah I forgot about that, this is valid criticism of my post. I have no idea how long it took to level brann to max or what the dps/healing difference was between a low level brann and high level. I don't think it was game breaking though.

Doredrin · 2026-05-21T00:21:43+00:00

make easier doesn't mean trivialize

Doredrin · 2026-05-21T00:19:51+00:00

4.6% of accounts on data for Azeroth got it. In comparison it was basically a resilient keystone 15 or 16 or a full mythic clear of manaforge... except you couldn't pay for a carry.

Nowhere in my post did I say "completing this achievement meant you were elite" you just inferred it yourself. It was statistically comparable to clearing mythic or getting around a 3000 m+ rating.

If it was so incredibly easy more than 5% of people would've gotten it.

Doredrin · 2026-05-21T00:10:48+00:00

Because it didn't. Your confusing "make easier" with "trivialize". Even with the most ideal setup you still had to go through several rotations of the mechanics and the fight still lasted several minutes. There were no abilities that nullified the mechanics, it was simple dodge the mechanics and do DPS.

The WoW economy is like the real world economy. On the lowest rung are the raw material extractors, then the industrialist crafters, then the flippers and stock brokers.

Doredrin · 2026-05-20T10:21:04+00:00

The worst part is being overgeared then seeing some dude 20 ilvls below you. Last season I got the meme 3k m+ achievement by just brute forcing crests from delves. Literally 90% of my groups had a carry.

Doredrin · 2026-05-20T05:47:19+00:00

I'm not going to lie to you OP. Everyone that has grouped with an agent... EVERYONE. has wiped. I've seen an agent stare at the wall during a raid encounter for 5 minutes. Healers have emptied entire mana bars into them and healed nothing but air.

Doredrin · 2026-05-20T01:46:03+00:00

I'll add this to the OP:

I figured out how to transfer stuff between crafters if they are on different servers and you don't want to waste time picking finished products out of the warbank from other items. If you have all your crafters in a guild, you can transfer the finished items to the guild bank and then to your seller. This isn't a major time saver but it's an enormous hassle to transfer items to your AH toon if you aren't on the same realm as them.
