A case of chronic gear imbalance

[Espritduo]

You are grossly overestimating how much i270 gear people actually get from raiding. You don't seem to understand that once a turn is cleared for the week, that's it, you don't get any more chances for loot from that turn whether you actually got anything from it or not. There is no running multiple groups to farm what you want. There is no passing what you don't want until what you do want drops. There is no rolling on stuff until you win. There is no control whatsoever over actually getting anything at all for the week from raiding. Most weeks you get nothing at all except a manifesto page that it takes 1-2 months to do anything at all with, even for a shitty ring. Most raiders upgrade their gear doing the same thing you're doing - grinding scripture for i260. Any random i270's they get is just that, random blessings from Rngesus.

Anyone that had full i270 within the first three weeks was A. A hardcore world class raider, B. incredibly lucky beyond belief with their drops, and C. a selfish ahole who took all their groups's gobdrops for themself to upgrade their scripture.

EDIT: And I'm going to say right now, if you really want i270 gear right now and can't wait one month for 3.5, there is nothing stopping you from going and getting it yourself, if you think it is so quick and easy to do it. Find a group, make a schedule, and sit down and learn the fights. This is coming from a person who had never raided in his life before 3.4, never dreamed of clearing Gordias or Midas, never wanted to have anything to do with the stress of raiding.....and yet is on track to clear a12s next week, god willing. I did it, on MATEUS, the lowest-pop and most raiding-dead server in the world. There is nothing stopping a person who cares enough about this to whine on the forums about it from sitting down and putting in the TIME and EFFORT to clear the current raid tier. If you don't care about raiding, and that is perfectly alright, then you wait until the very next patch and get your upgrades as quick as your grindy little heart can take. That's what I did for years, and I was fine with it. And I consider myself a hardcore grinder way before I consider myself a hardcore raider. (lol me a hardcore raider, lolol)
