Re: [Rant] Ridiculous Overgear Expectations
said by drew  :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".
said by drew :1) Where else are they supposed to gear up for raiding if not in Heroics... said by chaud :1) Who cares, they are not my problem. There's your answer. Other players just simply do not care. |

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.
