Indeed but if I had to choose between two people, one who was massively skilled but had gimp gear and one who couldn't do his job to save his life but was rocking i110 soldiery pieces I would still choose the skilled player. You can always get gear later.

@Ellatrix What am I trying? I have yet to see this problem that you see. I never see SMN's running around wearing Daystar gear so maybe people are your server are just goons. I just merely wanted to point out that just because you have a bad experience with people not knowing their role doesn't necessarily mean people wearing gear other than their "main stat" means they can't do content.
