Thanks to this thread, Justin Bieber just earned a platinum record and is working on a new album.
Oh, and this thread has been Aestu'd.
Interesting how Aestu got turned into a meme here.
shamelessly stolen from another thread
It had already happened on MMO Champion.

so you target player and when u inspect them it will come up with a scale showing raiding xp, like downing 10of25 sort of thing
this was my main point, i laid it out badly
yet again this is the point nt is GS good or not nt the avg iLvL but a system like this
and they wonder why i put this in cata to start it has more to do with cata and people actually think there

Let's concentrate on the matter at hand, and try to avoid getting into unnecessary discussions.
and they wonder why i put this in cata to start it has more to do with cata and people actually think there
Could you elaborate on that? I can't really see why this should be the case, as it is - if anything - a general game "issue", not specifically related/exclusive to Cataclysm.

ok i think it is more related to Cata as the system's they have now are faulty and/or non effective, i think that if Blizz added a bar like they are to the player name plate or something, it should show real raid XP and not how good there gear is. it is not a fault with the game i am saying, but a system they should/could add futher down the track

Gearscore is for bads.
Most players are bad.
You do the math.
Since you're so knowledgeable, please explain why you believe that.
Gearscore is not indicative of anything aside from average item level
There are numerous cases of lower item level gear giving more DPS/HPS/TPS/survivability than higher ilvl gear in the same slot
Therefore, Gearscore is a flawed tool and anyone who relies on it is a flawed individual

GS discussions have now gone on so long that Justin Bieber has branched out and has an acting career; the continuation of this thread will result in the very first instance of the 'Best Actor' award being given to a woman.

People who say this are ridiculous hypocrites. They say they're tired of discussion, but what it really is, they don't want to challenge their own false elitism and accept the reasons the mod sucks. And to that end, they will run in rhetorical circles, for any length of time, no matter how many times, rather than reasoning through the issue in a simple, succinct, intelligent discussion.
Of course, the fact that I don't use the mod, and have stated that numerous times on these forums, has no bearing on that.
But don't let that alter your judgment of me; whatever makes you feel better about yourself, 'the mount guy'. I shouldn't expect you to understand the concept of 'making a joke', since you can't grasp the difference between 'fact' and 'opinion' when it's been explained to you, very clearly, multiple times.

Give a child a gun, and it's dangerous. I'm going to blame the tool as opposed to some sort of evil, gun-weilding child.
I look at GS like that as well. In the right hands it's a good tool to make preliminary assumptions if you're too busy/lazy/important/stupid to look at a person's gear. In the wrong hands....Gearscore is for bads.

I'm going to blame the circumstances that allow the child to get the gun.
I almost want to try and get a true moratorium on GS threads on Wowhead because it is impossible to have a true discussion about it. Honestly, calling someone a "bad" for using GS to gather the same information a /inspect or armory check would give you is akin to calling someone bad for using a circular saw instead of a handsaw. They both get the same job done; one does it faster.

That concept will not sink in for some, unfortunately. To use your analogy: A company makes a circular saw with a guard mechanism. Some carpenters take the time to learn to engage the guard appropriately; others do not, and cut their hands off. Someone then comes along and then calls all carpenters using the tool 'bad' because some hurt themselves with it. It's just ridiculous.
And I agree on the moratorium, btw.
