    I beg to differ. After Gearscore came along back in Wrath of the Lich King, I ran The Nexus with a group in the dungeon finder. One person in the party threw a fit because someone's gearscore wasn't high enough for his liking. I can't remember what the numbers were like back then, but he wanted everyone to have a score that was on par with Ulduar/Trial of the Champion raiding gear, which was absurd for the low level of difficulty of the dungeon. He initiated a vote-kick, which was rejected, so he spent the entire run griping. We got through the dungeon just fine and there was no reason for the drama.

    For those who didn't play WoW, that's like trying to kick someone from The Wanderer's Palace for not being i90.

    I never saw that kind of jackassery before Gearscore. Please, we don't need to encourage that kind of elitism in ARR.

    I agree with you 100%, Gearscore was half the reason i stopped playing WoW to start with. Got so sick of being told even back in WOTLK that my Disc Priest was undergeared for the LK(normal 10) fight, yet i was sporting the title AND weapon from killing him.

    @The OP, if they're in the dungeon with you, they're of the right ilvl to be there, So the only thing preventing you from clearing any given content with them is knowledge of the fight and/or player skill. You don't need to know their exact average ilvl.
