Unreal GS requirements ?

[Derekk]

I remember players posting for a "Gearing Run" Back when I was playing molten as well, This was actually nice getting a toon in there to run some of the bosses even if my GS wasn't 5.6-6k at that moment. The gearing run was quite fun even It wasn't a full clear but apart from helping newer members of the community I never mind wiping on encounters Thing is after playing Wrath so long and fully clearing out everything just became common to the point I was taking my Higher geared characters To help others, Yea it would have a chance of failing but I could for an instance relive a moment of when I first knocked out a Raid boss through newer players and the amount of praise you get for helping them was very uplifting.

It's people like you that make Warmane a better place. Before moltdown, I've managed a guild dedicated to gearing-up fresh 80's. I was in Lordaeron Alliance-side, and it was called "Gearing-Up". It wasn't easy making players loyal and committed because they treated the guild as a transition into joining end-game raiding guilds. I already had 6kgs at the time I was officer, and I still did those RDF runs 5-8 times a day, sacrificing opportunities to do ICC hc and RS. In the long run, the guild wasn't very successful (since the leader had real-life commitments), and most of the guildies either left right away or didn't have time to play WoW. Nevertheless, I would never trade the joys of helping newbies to playing with elitist jerks.

On-topic, the GS requirements have pretty much stay the same. The one thing that has changed though is the lenience of achivs. Pre-moltdown, it was hard to find pugs that are willing to take you without achiv. For example, my hunter already had 5.6kgs with Saurfang achiv yet I was still being turned down for ICC 10n. I guess it has to do with the shrinking population.

The answer is simple: people aren't doing it for fun, to learn how the encounters are, to teach others how the encounters are. They are doing it with the single aim of succeeding, and since anything that is below over-the-top won't guarantee that with strangers, they blow requirements out of proportion.

Just like real life. People and their hustle.

Sure, sometimes the gs requirment is insane however is it that hard 2 get gear tho? Dont got any vp/coins? Get rep, one day laybacked questing and one rep already maxed out

Hello,

So basically I'm new to this server and I was wondering why there's unreal GS requirements for simple raids? /global is filled with 5k+ for VOA and ToC. 5.6-6k for ICC, how are you even supposed to get gear for that if you haven't already cleared it?
It makes no sense to me because I remember clearing ICC with roughly 5.3k gs and 11/12 heroic with close to 6k.
I hope anyone can shed some light on this matter.

You can get to 5k in like 1 week .

LFM NAXX 25 min GS 6.4K /w best ach; no noobs (BOEs Res)
Saw it once and the leader was less then 3k gs; so... this might be the biggest reason; no one with that gs (6.4) would need the drops so the 3k organizer will get it
(it he's a warrior/dk/paladin even better for him; no one will inspect him at first)

On retail in wotlk you would get invited to ICC10 n with 4.8k gearscore as a minimum. Here on Warmane it's just lol. If I have 6.2k gearscore, why do I even need ICC10?
