Ok so here my story; Today I did VOA 25 and a lock that i know got kicked at the beggining...This guys is a really great player and the excuse was that he didnt had enough Gearscore to do VOA 25 but i did like onyxia 10 and 25 with him and he alway top the dps chart like. I think Gearscore is only one more thing with achievement that make that good player that play less then other people arent able to do big raid... (sorry for bad grammar)
What you think about that guys?

If you're in a raid that is judging people and kicking solely based on gearscore, it is probably going to be a lolfailraid. Not always, but the odds of it failing seem to go up quite a bit in my experience.

Gearscore only means they've got the stuff... not that they did well in the instances.

I was clearly being sarcastic, which should be an opinion in and of itself...
I think gear score, the way it is in the game/addon right now is mostly bad. The addon doesn't take into account way too many things (class, spec, hit cap, etc), so it only spits out an average rating based mostly on item levels. If one would write an addon that would take into account those things, it would be a great way to estimate a player's gear level. Gear level, not skill. People shouldn't be kicked out of raids because they are not top notch with their gear.

My rogue had a GS of about 3800 and pulled about 5K dps in a Toc25 on Gormok the Impaler. 2nd on dps chart and I was quite $%^&y about it too. I was about the 4th from last on the GS list.. so yes I totally agree with this...
I could only imagine how much more he's going to do once he gets in better gear

I wonder if enough people signed could we get blizz to ban Gearscore or the use of gearscore.

That wasn't very constructive. Voice a real opinion, friend. Mine is that it can be a great tool if people weren't so stupid when using it. Care to oppose or confirm?
Woooooooooosh :P
But yes, Gear Score when used as it is now - a measure of "skill" - is retarded. However, it does save some people of having to judge if there's a chance that a person is capable of outputting enough. A guideline, not a ruleset.
