...and there you are generalizing. You seem to be suggesting that if people aren't at a certain ilvl they don't have a strong grasp of the game or their job/class. I'm simply saying that this is wrong. I've seen plenty of players with much better gear than I playing like they just bought their account yesterday, and I have played with numerous players over the years, in more than a few mmos, that are "casual types" in less than the newest gear outplay those latest geared players in every way.

I'll take players with lower ilvl that can stay alive and learn fights quickly over someone that has better gear but is clueless any day.
