I've always operated on basically zero sleep so it hasn't been a big deal. Raid until 130. Up again at 430 and ready for the day!

I'm 29 btw.
29 too. Coffee throughout the day, though in meetings and at conferences I struggle to stay awake

I don't drink coffee. Gives me the shakes. Never handled caffeine well.

That's a benefit, you're just doing it wrong.

IDK man. Half a cup of coffee or like half a redbull and I am sweating and shaking.

I hate it so I don't bother. But I also don't need much sleep in general as I said so whatever.

Nah, that's cool. I'm 33 with a 3 year old son and I wish I had more sleep/free time/everything. Coffee puts a dent in my yawning but that's about it.

32 with a kid too

Wife tried to slam my bone last night until 2am,had to get up at 6 and I'm useless.

We raid Monday and Friday 9pm est to midnight if that's palatable to you. Not many tank spots though. Although shitface may kick me out.

I usually drink a monster but I've been living in the lab and no drinks or food allowed.

I forgot to open my mythic chest until after raid, got 895 ring with an effect that does nothing on most bosses. (requires a snare/stun/etc) But hey, it's something. And it'll be a nice boost in M+.

Still sucking dicks for fel relics so I can get out of this goddamn Outlaw spec.

Got my first legendary from emissary boxes yesterday,
did anyone notice an increase in legendary drop rates since yesterday? I still dont have one but 4 people in the guild got 1 in about 5 hours, this could be due to it being patch day and worldboss/raid resets etc. hoping its the former.

Got my first one yesterday from emissary boxes which I've been doing on 3 characters a few weeks. Most likely was a coincidence since it was reset and higher chance they would drop from the other sources, but yeah my first thought was hmm did they increase the drop rate a little with the patch.

Gotta learn to channel the shakes into the doing of things.

Try again in another 3 years if you're 29 and think hang overs / lack of sleep aren't so bad. All of a sudden it fucks ya.

The group finder for Mythic / PUG raids is just a toxic environment and will likely shorten the time I spend on this expansion considerably.

Yup. I'm getting too old to spend my gametime dealing with toxic neckbeards. If it's not able to be queue'd in LFD or LFR then I'm just not going to bother with that content anymore.

It boggles my mind that normal Mythic is not available in the group finder. I just don't get some of the decisions the devs made this time around.

They seem to think that by gating content behind group finder is going to suddenly make everyone want to use it. Naw, I'll just unsub instead, I've got years of other games/shows to catch up on.

Don't get me wrong I think Mythic+ is a good thing and belongs in the game. There needs to be challenging shit for organized groups of pals to do. But requiring group finder just to see the Suramar dungeons (when there's several "regular" quests sending you there) is clownshoes.

Just wait until Karazhan comes out (day 1 will be 880 MIN, 2 LEGENDARIES, MUST KNOW FIGHTS, BADS WILL BE KICKED). I have a feeling they'll add Mythic0 to LFD or introduce a heroic version. They actually had heroic versions of Arcway/Court of Stars in beta but they removed them (because muh neckbeards).

You guys are really selling yourself short by not investing a little up front effort into finding a guild of like-minded people. Your complaints are around the toxicity of anonymous interaction - the prevelance of which no one can dispute - but being a part of a large, active guild completely circumvents that experience.

If I had to guess, I'd say the devs were hoping that the organized group requirement for mythic and mythic+ would incentivize players to do more things with their friends and guild mates. This is a win/win for many reasons, but specific to this discussion it would greatly reduce the likelihood of trolling and toxic behavior as the interactions are with familiar - not anonymous - players. It seems they didn't count on people being so resistant to the idea of being social in an MMO.

It is why I switched to gearing up my resto spec/weapon. I figure I won't get much chance at the mythic stuff in dps mode.

I mean yes there are toxic groups out there, but if you don't want to deal with them make your own.

Anyone who thought/thinks random anonymous grouping in any game will not be, for the majority of the time, toxic, is naive as hell(borderline retarded).

I don't know why people don't join FOH. You don't even need to raid. There's like 60 people on every night doing EVERYTHING.

I won't advertise the guild anymore I promise.

I have really enjoyed a lot about this expac so far: Love the Mythic+ addition, its nice to do some meaningful 5-man gameplay with people I really enjoy playing with. Content hasn't been an issue...

But holy fuck, as a DPS warrior, I am so incredibly turned off by the constant hotfixes/nerfs. Fury is shit, so you switch to Arms (which has never really gotten much love in terms of dps). Then Arms gets "normalized" because lucky fuckers are getting BIS legendaries and their DPS is way overpowered. The amount of RNG in trying to get a Tactician proc for Colossal Smash is just mind-numbingly boring. Now Fury is on the docket to at least get an official look at a revamp. Fuck, just make up your minds. Two specs that are absolutely grading out at the very bottom for Mythic raids. It just blows my mind that its possible for you to play a class and depending on the pull the variance in damage output can be as much as 50-70k dps on Patchwerk type fights (Nythendra & Ursoc).

It makes me want to re-roll another class, but fuck, as someone who has just enough time & effort to get one class as optimal as possible to lead two raids a week in heroic/Mythic, it's a buzzkill. I guess I have been pretty lucky dodging all the tuning in recent years (coming back really late in Mists & only playing 6 months of WoD), but it definitely sucks to an otherwise fairly enjoyable expansion.

Oh I don't disagree with this. In my case I just don't want to leave the guild I've been in since 1999, even if it's fairly dead now. Still have some old friends that play from time to time but it's unlikely we'll ever group up for the more challenging shit. So PUG life it is (and I know, that's a "me" problem).

Yeah I do have a mage in the guild I plan on leveling up when I get around to it. Had a lot of fun with you guys doing the pre-Legion invasion stuff etc.
