There is a lot of generalizations in the World of Warcraft community these days. Many players are developing generalizations and rather pessimistic views about their fellow players and the community in general. What's causing this strange outlook? Is it because WoW is really full of bad players or is there something else at work here? Find out in our latest editorial here at WoW - Ten Ton Hammer.
Whose fault is this though? Many point fingers to the existence of GearScore, saying that without it there would be a lot less trouble for everyone. I disagree very strongly. GearScore is the result of the playerbase looking for a way to avoid a big problem. That problem is the number of bad apples out there who cause people to lock themselves to failed raids. People who try to join with terrible gear (where even skill cant compensate for it) or ignorant people with no skill just trying to coast their way into some gear.
