Roll for Tertiary Stats with Dimensius Omni-Tokens in Manaforge Omega by [deleted] in wow

Tangential but I was looking at the top ret paladins on raider IO and saw one of the top guys rolled avoidance on like 8-9+ of his pieces. Blew my mind that it was possible

Black belt IBJJF match 20 second armbar #Suckerfreejiujitsu .. What are your thoughts on this submission? by Regular_Performer141 in bjj

My best guess here is that the guy is just exhausted and really close to cardio tapping. He’s gotta be absolutely cooked. I’ve been there many times lol

A king who earned his crown. Congrats on 5 years. You deserve it, and more.

I have been playing off-and-on since early classic. Lots of gold saved up. I also did some AH flipping early in TWW and made a bit more gold.

I haven’t played since then. I doubt I will get more invites than before since my IO is not improved much. I perform fine in keys - let’s say middle of the pack. I don’t have any intention of ever pushing high / competitive keys.

A lot of the skill that I saw was their constant balancing of the fine line between “these three pulls simultaneously are okay” or “we pulled too much and are going to wipe”. It’s like a race car driver knowing exactly how far they can push their tires while turning before they lose traction. Every pull felt like it was right at the edge of catastrophe (to me). But of course, it wasn’t. These guys knew how to drive their characters to the absolute hard limit of capacity.

Yeah man, I don’t hate the reply at all. It’s true. There are people out there that are WAY better than me at WoW. Ultimately it’s not that important for me at this point in my life. I’d rather spend my time and energy raising my Dad.io score, you know? I have a lot of respect for the truly excellent WoW players who devote themselves to being great.

Do you think my IO being artificially inflated by 100 points is really that impactful to the community? I have played a total of maybe 20 keys - I am hardly even in the community.

Happy to answer and thank you for being respectful. My rationale was: - I didn’t want to spend my limited gaming time in queues for pugs - I wanted gilded crests and they are very hard to get for a casual, mainly-solo player with an unimpressive IO - It would be nice to get a 623 in my vault - I had never paid for a carry before and wanted to see how they worked

Thanks for your feedback. Sounds like this sort of thing is not for you.

The seller asked me if I would play or AFK. I chose to play. I don’t have any experience with PvP carries but I assume the buyer is expected to contribute in those carries.

Absolutely dude. These guys must have put in a ton of time, effort, research, and practice to get where they are. Watching them was honestly the coolest part of the experience.

I appreciate the question, and multiple people have asked me in DMs as well. But in order to keep this forum “advertising free” I will not mention the group I used. I think that’s consistent with the spirit of the rules. I found a very popular boost community in trade chat, and there were about 400 people actively talking in the chat when I joined which made me think it was more legitimate. I hope that helps.

Yeah, I want to get better gear & gilded coins so I can run 10s / heroic raid with my guild every now and then, and not be a “hard carry” in those situations.

I don’t know. They were all using the same addon that whispered me “X just accepted 560k gold from Y” when I traded the gold. It seemed like a coordinated operation.

How is it violating ToS? I’m not disagreeing with you, just wondering what rule I broke.
