On my server, people have gotten it into their heads that Gearscore is the be all and end all of raiding progression. It's gone as far as people wanting a 4K gs for easy fights like Malygos and a full Naxx clear. 4k for Naxx? You're kidding me, right? Both Lysix and Fiorra first stepped into Naxx wearing greens and did just fine. The day I dinged 80 on Lysix, I was in Naxx that night wearing pretty much full greens and I was the OT. And guess what? I fucking kicked ass. I got geared up quick and was soon so geared that I couldn't get anything better till Ulduar was released.
Don't talk about Lysix's gear now, I know it's shit. I'm working on it, okay?
Fiorra's gear has always been very hit and miss, but since I levelled as a healer...I know what things I need to be doing and I've pretty much always been the same spec. My main spec is Shadow, but a lot of the time I do heal for my guild (and I've noticed that using the new LFG system gets me a group quicker if I heal). The other day I had a tank from another realm bitch me out because I was using an ilvl 200 trinket. I told him to bite me. Another told me "oh you have good gear, why the fuck can't you heal this?" (In reference to HHoR). Some dickwad tanks out there need to roll healers and then see how frickin hard of a heal that place is.
And to make it worse, some of my guildies believe that if you have a high gearscore- you must be a good player...WRONG. Let me tell you why I think that theory is a load of bullshit. We have a Hunter in the guild that goes by the name of Flintx. When I first came to the guild back at the beginning of 2009, Flintx was wearing mainly all blues and out-dps'ing us all. He still out-dps's us, and he's not the best geared Hunter in the guild. I out dps the best geared Hunter in the guild, and my gear really isn't all that great.
So yeah, don't let anyone push you around about your gearscore. I've seen people with low GS and high GS. As a good friend of mine told me once, "It's 50% gear, 50% skill". And I totally agree with him. Next PuG groups will require date of birth, drivers licence and blood sample. Fuck you assholes.
