Conversely, show where having BiS in all slots automatically makes you a great player. A good player puts good gear to use, but having good gear doesn't automatically make you good at your job. Skill alone isn't enough, but it's much more important than just passing a gear check because I can tell you right now it takes no skill to roll a need or greed on a primal weapon or dungeon loot and walk out with a ilvl 50-60 piece of equipment which will let you pass gear checks for other dungeons.

This is why systems like this doesn't really do anything other than alienate people since the one thing it doesn't take into consideration is player skill, it purely just looks at a number. For example go to the AH, people from 1.0 who sat on certain weapons can unload ilvl 70 weapons that anyone with 20-110k can buy.
