Do we honestly need another gear score rant thread?

You're not going to change anyone's mind, or make any new points that haven't been made. Just because this time it happened to you, doesn't mean that it deserves it's own thread.

GS kicks happen, and will continue to happen. Get over it. I never kick people because of gear scores, but I accept that some people are smacktards and will continue to do so.

Q u o t e:

Hm, your signature is incorrect.
<-------

---

No, it's not.

The (I think) part is a disclaimer. It basically says as far I know.

---

Q u o t e:

And that's why you haven't finished TOGC.

---

10 man is easy. Hardly worth bragging about.

---

Q u o t e:

And that's why you haven't finished TOGC.

---

If someone's gearscore was, say 10 off from par, do you fly off on a rant about how much of a waste they are and hope their family, as punishment for raising such a horrid individual, gets sent to the lowest level of Hell, or worse, Detroit?

Q u o t e:

And that's why you haven't finished TOGC.

Good for you. Can't for ICC tanks that stacked stamina are going to wish they didn't..

---

Q u o t e:

That's the joke.

So let me get this straight. Someone with no challenging content down is going to preach to me about how useful gs is?

ok

Raid leaders/ party members have been gear checking since the days of old, only now it doesn’t have to be done by alt-tabbing to wow armory or by manually clicking the “inspect&rdquo; feature of a given toon. All gear score does is make it easier/faster to ascertain whether or not a prospective raid/party member has the necessary (bare minimum) equipment to get the job done as seamlessly as possible. Of course there are other factors to consider (skill level, previous experience in whatever dungeon you are running, etc) but gear score certainly makes the job a bit easier.

Gearscore is fine. It's a soviet baddie check: if anyone kicks you from a raid because you have a low GS, that means YOU found a baddie.

Q u o t e:


I'm not in ALL blues and greens, but my warrior happens to be on my old main server where I don't have the funds to purchase any epics. That means I'm not trying?

It's pretty easy to have enough money by 80 to buy your epic mount. Now if you spend that money on gear instead of faster flying, you;d probably have some of this stuff [assuming you're DPS]:

That's 6 entry-level raiding items that you can either buy or have crafted before you even GET to 80. And if you have mining, you can probably farm the mats for most of them yourself.

Basically I look at it like this: if you aren't willing to do what's necessary to get this type of easy to obtain gear before you start raiding, then you're looking to be carried. And why should I carry you?

---

Q u o t e:

Sorry, I didn't know we used gearscore when determining raid members for challenging content.

---

Haha.

So basically it went down like this.

I use gs for raids.
I don't us gs for challenging raids, because it's challenging. Player awareness, ability, and skill > gs.
I don't do challenging raids at all.

Gearscore?

Right.

More foolishness.

---

Q u o t e:
And if you're not trying, then why would people want to run anything with you?

---

Because even coma patients can clear ToC10?

---

Q u o t e:
The gearscore in this thread is not high enough for me to join the conversation, let me know after a few more Ulduar/ToC runs.

---

This reply rates highly on the BS (Blue Score) scale.

My warrior doesn't have enough money for epic mount either. Next.

Anyway you're bad if you can't tell how I take raiding by the signs of this here druid. +10 to chest instead of +8. No blue gems, etc etc.
