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.
