As gear got better the number of stats on them were higher. Couldn't go into like the a final tier expansion raid with a healer who just hit level cap without any raid gear because it would be impossible for them to be successful, they would either, run out of mana, not have enough INT to heal incoming damage, or the mana regain to sustain themselves throughout the fight.
Yeah so having dungeon requirements on gear before you can enter is alright with me, but when you have players telling you can't go to the raid because your gear isn't good enough, but the gear you would get from that raid wouldn't even match that gearscore this group is requesting for.
