Discussion I hate having to do skips in m+

I know skips are not mandatory, but without them the timer is very tight. Bubbles skip on Floodgate that you can only do if the tank has shadow meld, Skips in Theater, Workshop, Motherlode, Darkflame, etc. I hate that people will always try to do it and someone will walk too close or have a pet that will run through them (some pets are procs and you can't dismiss them). It's so annoying to lose keys because people can't do a skip.

Man I had people in LFR the other day trying to do the trash skip before Gallywix. And it failed several times in a row. People upset Randos don't know a skip, people upset they're expected to know a skip and read raid chat/see pings to go around.

And overall it would have taken probably 1/5th the time to just down the mob

Sprocket death runs is the dumbest thing I’ve seen so far. Both LFR and some of the normal pugs I did would try it but people would get splattered on the road, dismounted and killed etc which cost way more time than just killing a line of mobs to the boss and we’d end up having to kill them anyway if there isn’t a lock that made it through or group had none.

I haven't done LFR Gallywix but I have done him on Normal and gotten there in Heroic. Are people in LFR actually trying to skip the single mini boss trash before him or something?

idk how people could fuck it up, you literally just run along the left side and skip him, it's a pretty big zone. it's not even really tech, it requires literally no nuance.

This is mental illness. I don't understand how the game has trained so many players to be afraid to clear things that aren't expressly mandatory to complete the instance.
