Gear doesn't tell even half the story.<BR/><BR/>@Gevlon: Yes, but the question is where to draw the line for what's "good enough" and what isn't. For 5 man instances I don't think you should require epic gems in all slots or the most exclusive enchants. It's really overkill, something I thought you didn't approve of.<BR/><BR/>@Fish: yeah, when you point it out I think you're pretty right. It's really the buyers market when it comes to dps, while people more or less will accept any kind of healer as long as he heals, no matter of stats.<BR/><BR/>@Mae: well I guess people can gear up by crafting and rep grinding to some extent. But I agree it's a pity if you demand so good gear from people that most drops in the heroics will be sharded. Then there's something wrong in the concept.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-71706711655926421982009-01-03T02:04:00.000+01:002009-01-03T02:04:00.000+01:00Previous comment is lacking something, sorry it di...Previous comment is lacking something, sorry it didn't make sense.

I mean, how're people supposed to gear if they can't get into runs.<BR/><BR/>I solve this problem by only running with guildies, which I suppose is an elitism all by itself. I just can't bring myself to be a part of the pug mayhem.

There is an over-abundance of DPS characters and now with practically everyone having a death knight, "tanks" (not necessarily saying these death knights have any skill or desire to tank, just they have a general ability set and plate armor). Healers, at least on my server, are between super rare and non-existant.<BR/><BR/>I think you would find that healers not normally qualified to run heroics are being let into groups purely because they can heal.<BR/><BR/>Again, sheer supply and demand, if there are 10 people who can do the same thing, a group would be foolish not to take the best one for them.Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17653252976648480240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-18191171042112408122009-01-02T11:23:00.000+01:002009-01-02T11:23:00.000+01:00Checking others it's not about being spoiled and w...Checking others it's not about being spoiled and wanting free rides. It's about everyone pulling their own weight. A noob slipped in and not kicked before the first boss is harmful two ways.<BR/><BR/>The smaller harm is making the instance long and painful for 4 other people who did not deserved it<BR/><BR/>The big harm is he gets gear, making it easier for him to fool others into taking him to the next ride. Maybe because you boosted him in HC UK, he will get into a Naxx25 PuG and makes the life of 24 innocent people miserable.Gevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-69667128527683464512009-01-02T09:17:00.000+01:002009-01-02T09:17:00.000+01:00I remember back in the days of BC, when I first go...I remember back in the days of BC, when I first got my priest to level 70.<BR/><BR/>I had ALOT of the dungeon 3 set, and merely one purple- merciless glad mace.<BR/><BR/>I was turned down by SO many groups because of my gear. Fortunately, one group was already half way done, and the "better" [geared] healers wouldn't join a raid for just half the bosses.<BR/><BR/>When I got in with my priest...<BR/>I rocked the healing. To say the least, the raid leader actually apologized for asking me so many questions about my gear, spec, and experience =P<BR/><BR/>It was SO annoying when people demanded you to have practically full tier 6 to even get invited to their Karazhan.<BR/><BR/>Ah well. I'm in a raiding guild now, so it's ok =PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
