Remember this? “LFM Uld /w Achievement”
Well now it’s been replaced with this:
“LFM ICC10 /w GearScore”
“LFM ICC25 5.2k gs only”
“LFM weekly raid. /w gs and achievement”
GearScore - irrelevant!
In some ways it is slightly fairer. When idiotic raid leaders wouldn’t let you join a raid because you didn’t have the Achievement I could only wonder how you were supposed to GET the Achievement if no bugger would let you raid.
With GearScore it’s in your hands. Put the work in doing the daily random, the weekly raid and the odd bit of raiding and you can increase your GearScore on your own.
It’s being misused though, at least on my server. You try PUG-ing a raid now and unless you have already done eight of 12 bosses in ICC and managed to get your GearScore above 5.5k and you won’t even get in a ToC or Ulduar raid. Madness!
It’s been said many, many times – SKILLZ > GEAR. And the fact it is entirely possible to increase your GearScore with no help means that any old idiot can have the right score, but just can’t PLAY.
So come on you supposed IMBA raid leaders. Cut those of us who can’t play all day, every day some slack and invite us. We won’t let you down. We know what we’re doing. And if we don’t, because it’s our first attempt on a particular boss, don’t worry – we learn VERY fast.
(I should point out my GearScore is now over 5.7k – but that’s because I can PLAY, not because I’ve spent months farming Emblems of Frost)
Your thoughts?
