Are there any boosting communities in NA that take applications for M+ boosters, strictly for gold?

I made most of my gold back in the golden era of boosting communities in BFA, and I'm just wondering if there's anything really available today?

Now that we've had it for a few weeks, how are we feeling about it? Particularly as a route to obtain myth track gear.

I love it, personally. I'm happy that I'm not just giga time-gated behind the great vault to get myth gear. I've always thought it was ridiculous that I could get myth gear by pugging mythic chimaerus or the first few bosses of void-spire, but I was getting hero gear for sweating my way through a +17.

Even if they're only partially deterministic, big W in my opinion.

Hey everyone,

Just wanting some input before I starting purchasing some parts. Here's the plan:

Parts list

CPU: Ryzen 9800X3D

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S black

Mobo: Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite AM5

Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 2x16GB DDR5-6400 CL32

GPU: Gigabyte Windforce OC SFF RTX5070Ti 16GB

PSU: Gigabyte UD750GM 750W Gold

Case: Fractal Design North

Others: A few be quiet! fans and windows, ofc.

I'm going to reuse my storage options from my previous build:

1TB HDD, 500GB SATA SSD, 1TB M.2 SSD.

Here are some concerns:

I have a 1440 120Hz monitor. My goal here is to run the games I play mostly (retail wow, league) as close to 120Hz at 1440p as I can, with the occasional single player games close to that as well.

My monitor is Freesync. As far as I've researched, I wont have any issues with an Nvidia card and Vsync, correct?

Also, has anyone reused storage in the past? Will I need to format my drives when I move them over? Currently I have windows installed on my 500GB SATA SSD, and use the other 2 drives as storage.

Just some general feedback just in case I'm missing something would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I feel like I'm limited in my play time and wondering how possible it is to succeed in M+.

I work full time, have a wife and 2 kids. I can only reasonably play about 2 hours a night, but I don't play every day if I'm too tired. That's about 10 hours/week.

I just got my 15 resil achievement and my goal is to hit Myth achievement, and maybe, maaaaaaaaaaaaaybe get 1% if I can swing it. I almost exclusively pug as a healer. I have a few guys that've added me, so I might have a +1, but that's about it.

Just curious how much time people typically devote to wow per week and what sort of success they've seen so far this season. Do you think 1% title is possible for gamer dads like me?
