I'm 4.1k gs on two characters after two resets. All I have left to get is weapons on each
I thought I knew how Gear Score worked back in this era - but I guess not. I would understand someone saying something ~3800, but 4100 confuses the shit out of me.

4k+ now should just mean they have pretty much all slots filled with 25M gear, doesnt necessarily mean its optimized what so ever though. Gearscore is garbage when people try and use it at some elitist tool, but fine if its just a general "oh.. you're relatively in a range of what you should be before you do X raid", so shitters like tanks that join a raid without defense cap dont get invited. (this has happened in half of the raids ive done since launch so far lol).

Unless it changed since back in the day, people would just pad their gearscore with shit they wouldnt even use just to inflate it due to the higher ilvl and stats, then swap back to what they usually wear.

226 in every slot, including relic, (17x226) still only adds up to 3842. 3647 is BIS for my class/role for example. Then, with what you're saying - In that some of the 10 man stuff works better for classes than the 226 stuff. Especially when you take into account things like the normal mode COS's trinket, Soul Preserver (187). Or the variances in the item level with the bosses in each difficulty.

Again, I just dont understand the values that gearscore is using if it isnt actually using item level as the quantifier.

its ilvl+rarity , so like a ilvl200 blue will be worth less gearscore then a same ilvl epic

If people enjoyed playing with the < Casual > of Hyjal folks, there's about 10 of us in < Déjà Vu > and a few more roaming around on Atiesh. We're filling out the roster for Nax. Alliance Tue/Thu 6-9:30 PST. Send tells to Bag or Gasmask :D
You still have a group going on Atiesh-Alliance?

I'm on Mankrik, and I have a few flake friends on this server which is why I joined up on this server in the first place, but they done or are not going to be doing anything. Mankrik and Whitemane, where I have characters are both able to free transfer off, so I go and look at populations from the free transfer servers and none are Horde balanced... wtf...

Maybe it won't matter, because any of these servers are going to have more guild options on PST (server time) than Mankrik that's US-East. On Whitemane, all these guilds spamming for raids normal times, like 7-10, or 8-11, or 5-9, whatever, and it's so foreign to me not to convert that back to PST because I've played so long on US-East servers.

Good god. I feel much better.

Also we have loot drama. 15 year old game. Loot drama. And people talking about how ulduar is why loot needs to be handled certain ways. Look at how fast any TBC content was beat. Hard content isn’t going to be as hard.

If there is any loot drama it should be over legendaries or 1% drop mounts at most. If it's over anything else instantly leave that group of retards.

God damn fucking blue hairs, I get warnings every other day for the dumbest shit. Even when I'm not even trolling

The usual reply I get back from the blue hairs is "Ooo someone is trying to be a try-hard edgelord". They literally have a term for everything.

I love how the mage's patchwerk used spells were 90% just hard casting arcane missiles, incredible lmao
I'm 100% certain they would have wiped us on thaddius if they had managed to make it over the jump as well, which i 100% assumed they wouldnt. Good times babysitting retarded children

Pretty sure all of the servers queues have calmed down now, I can check later though to see. The playerbase in general seemed to have dropped off hard from what ive been seeing on my server the past few days.

I enjoy having 10 and 25 man content.

Main raids are over for the week so we did a 10 man 3 drake Sarth run last night. Just a neat little encounter.

Warcraft Logs

We also gave naxx Undying a shot. We were doing great until someone messed up the iceblock on Saph. *sad price is right losing noise*

Our tank gets people killed on sapp too by staying near the center, if he gets ice blocked a lot of newbies will die from it lmao
But we do a lot of trolly shit in these raids whenever we grab a pug
I assume well start actually going for these achivements next week on 10M
