Having gear is never a good measure of a good player. I seen the worest players in the game have the best gear, the one thing they were good at was farming gil. Not putting down those that did camp the NMs, did the events or made the PW pops(since only those that wanted PW drops made pops). Being able to listen, teach, lead are fators so much more important then gear. Those things make truely elite players. Any group that can do those things could/can kill any NM in the game that any perfect geared LS could. Could the perfect geared LS kill it faster sure if they could follow the basics if they couldn't they would zombie and limp along like any one else that refuse to learn.

I agree with this to an extent, specially now where the best gear is so readily available.

HOWEVER, there's a HELL of a lot more good players that have good gear, than there are bad players that have good gear.
