Re: [Rant] Ridiculous Overgear Expectations

I don't even bother with someone not at least in T4/Badge gear anymore.

That's a total dick move.

In a guild situation? Yeah, I can totally see that.

In a pug for the daily heroic? Total dick move.

You mean the other way around? I would care a little bit if they were in my guild. But why bother for a pug?

I mean it in a 'I wouldn't let some shitty geared guy in our guild. We're on T6 content, why do we need someone in T4?' sense.

In a pick up group for exceptionally trivial content, why would one need to be overgeared? I'd HOPE for those players, but certainly not require someone to have outgeared the content three or four times over.

Supply-and-demand, as well as the better-than-thou attitude.

There's just so many players out there, and at the end-game, gear is widely distributed. It sounds like on your server, T5/badge gear is about the "norm" for gear out there.

Plus, a lot of geared players want a guaranteed run, and don't want to waste time. If they pick up an "undergeared" person, then the rest of the group will piss/moan/wine over the lack of gear, and the group falls apart. Basically, if they're T6+, then they expect the rest of their PUG element to be - otherwise it's a "waste of time".

There's your answer. Other players just simply do not care.
