I agree. Gearscore is plain stupid.


No point having a GS 5000+ player which can't follow simple instructions.
You can have a person with GS 5000 but with no item enchants or gems in it, or having a bad talent spec.

Not to mention that Gearscore is a MAJOR bandwidth hog too. If you install Fubar_SpamMod, you will notice GS is sending in and out lots of invisible msgs between players and it is the main culprit for causing disconnection if you are logging in major cities and in raids too.

Yeah GS is a big NO-No in a few guilds now in Dreadmaul cos I guess it's about time that they realised ppl with high gear scores that dun know the fight is doomed to fail lolx. We had a 25man Ony fight and my gear score sux I assume cos my gears are mostly pvp gear and not that high lvl. lolx. Heck i'm still using my ilvl 135 trinket i think. And yet I still score among the top 5 dpser's lolx. Go figure. Must be my cyle. Anyways, back to the Ony fight. one pug party was created and they went on teh fight with the so-called high gear scores, while another one which I was in Had another one. Both raids started about hte same time and we finished well before them without a wipe. The "high geared" raid wiped 3 times! lolx and finished later.  Lolx.

Let's hope more n more ppl would not look at GS to pug raids etc. it only gives newer players a fighting chance to get involved.

LOL, that happened a lot in my server. All you need is a decent tank and DPS who knows how to GTFO from cave/tail/breath.
I have seen geared groups doing stupid stuff like ZOMG WHELPSPAWNS LOLIHAVELEETGEARAOESPAMTOPDPSMETERS>OHSHITAGGRO>RUNNING AWAY FROM WHELPS AND OUTSIDE TANK RANGE and make whelp die slower, or even worse ignore adds and ZOMGHIGHDPS bring down Onyxia right when DBM warns whelp and elite spawning, then start blaming the tank for not picking whelps and elites when ony lands and fear everyone.

Its really stupid how the GearScore and Achievement system is ruining the game.

For example:
You want to start gearing a newly lvl alt. Lets say you start off with HTOC/Naxx gear.
You want to start raiding Trial of the Crusader asap, but people rejected you coz you don't have the "lolgearscore" for it.
So you try to get some LOLduar gear for to get so call "entry lvl gear" for loltoc.
When you want to join an Uld25, you will still get rejected coz most pugs expecting achievements from an old raid instance like lolduar.

Well of course, i know some of you say this is QQing and argue that i can buy badge gear etc. But you get my point.
