I don't get it. Blizzard has made this game so easier to allow everyone to experience everything, so why would they allow a mod that is making it so people can't run certain instances?

"Don't invite that guy to ToC 10 his gearscore is only 3k lololol."

You know how many full ilvl 245 people i come across that cant break 2.5k dps? Or how many healers cant heal ToC regular?

Why haven't people learned out of 5 years of WoW that skill > gear?

Take a huntard in ilvl 245+ who is an idiot and compare him to a hunter in ilvl 200 who knows how to play his class, and who will come out on top? Simple answer and if you pick the first choice you're an idiot.

Fact is, gearscore is pointless, and like most people have learned, is only used by idiots.

How is it stopping you or anyone else from running instances?

You can always form your own group.

we just like the feeling that its a FRESH SERVER you don't need to bring down the people who want that or else your going to be on someone's death list someday

Oh, I don't have a problem getting groups lol. I have actually never had anyone bring up gearscore to me. I just thought I'd post a question with some facts for all the QQ'ers out there.

SYNTAX ERROR

Btw, do you always respond negatively to people who dislike GearScore?

Your friends are talking about you behind your back. Do you:

A) Confront them C) Cry in your emo corner
B) Ignore them D) KILL THEM

You're bad at math.

Anyway, Gearscore is amazing, it is a wonderful filter that tells in you just 3-4 seconds if a person is geared enough for your pug raid. If they are way too low, you can kick them without bothering to alt+tab and wowheroes them.

The next version of gear score is going to include your stats on how many times you've downed the boss so its very easy to see who knows the fight and who doesn't.

Can't wait :)

<3 gearscore

Anyone with 3k gear score would not be pulling their weight in ToC no matter how good of player they were, so no, I would not invite them.

This thread is baseless. It's made by either a troll or someone who is bitter because they were rejected by someone using GearScore. I'm guessing the first option.

The fact is, PVE is so incredibly easy now, that you dont need skill or team work in any way to complete the hardest encounters in WOTLK. ILVL is the only thing that matters now.

RIP preBC/BC PVE.

You can't divide by zero.

You just crit failed your rating.


Q u o t e:
Classes that are the easiest to play always attract the most idiots. This does not mean that all hunters are idiots, but that most idiots are hunters.

Anyway, as much as I loathe gearscore and laugh at nubs who use it to find people to carry them, it's here to stay =/

I put on my PvP gear before I go into an instance, cuz my PvP set has a higher score than my DPS set.

I may not agree with how some use gearscore, but I'll defend its right to exist.

Technically, dividing 0 by 0 is not the same as dividing anything else by 0.

0/0 is anything. x/0, where x is not 0, cannot be anything.
