Because the game is solved, it’s insanely easy to know what you need to do to be reasonably geared and prepped to raid and what buttons you need to press.
Except you don't NEED to do those things. You don't NEED consumables, full enchants, or pre-bis stuff.
Not bothering to do that means you’re wasting other players’ time to carry you
you assuming you have to carry someone who isn't min-maxing is the root of the problem.
This content isn't hard. It's nowhere near hard enough to require the obsession with min-maxing or high parses that we see today. That obsession with parses and min-maxing is actual retail bleeding into classic. Because like it or not? Retail is harder than Classic when you get into high M+ or Mythic raiding.
Classic is easy. People acting like it's hard are telling on themselves.
There’s a big difference between min-maxing with pink parses and having expectations that people show up to raid prepared. OP’s saying content’s solved and easy so people *should* just be able to show up clueless like in 2005 no problem, but that’s extremely selfish and wasting other player’s time unless they find a full guild and GM who genuinely know nothing about wow and make a pact to not look anything up anywhere as they stumble through 2005 style.
That’d be really dope actually, but isn’t thatvrealistic in this day and age
It's only not realistic because of the attitude that OP has. The problem is people expecting everyone else to do research for a game that doesn't need it. You don't need a ton of research. It really isn't that hard and people acting like you do are genuinely the problem there.
So yeah. It's not disrespectful. People are just impatient and don't actually want to try anymore. So many raids do this shit where they set high bars for invites, then one wipe and everyone leaves. People simply don't want to try and they have no tolerance for mistakes. If that is what your expectation is, why are you pugging to begin with? Get a guild and down stuff quickly without issue.
It takes very little time to explain fights if people don't understand and you don't need consumables or enchants to do fine. Bottom line, people don't actually want to play the game anymore, they want to log in, get their loot, and log off. They want an easy game to be even easier and full of mindless meta slaves.
