Seems to me that a person that wants to be part of a team would bring his best, because his performance impacts everyone he is grouped with. With this in mind, it makes me shake my head when players join Titan HM in low level gear. For every additional stat you have you're making it that much easier on everyone else.

Sure it can be beaten in your AF, but if you grab some AK gear and a few darklight pieces just imagine how much that will make things easier for everyone you're with. I think its universally understood that selflessness is a virtue, but if we queue up in sub-par gear aren't we being selfish? Wouldn't we be in effect saying that the other members in our party aren't important enough for us to come as prepared as we can be?
