Gearscore is coming!

Ok I'm trying to gear up for Amdapor Keep since I just hit 50. Should I buy stuff from the AH? Or run castrum meridianum until I get more darklight stuff? and how much darklight do I need to start doing AK?

I want to catch up with my brother but I want to know the best way. I know it's not the thread subject but its better than starting a new thread for this question. And it will probably help people who are QQing about gearscore.

WoW has had enough time to perfect the gear score system, and it's very fair - your gear must be at least a certain score in order to enter harder dungeons and raids, and it's not terribly hard to get the proper gear to do so. Someone can be a very talented player, but without gear that's up to snuff (or at least decent), it makes it impossible or at least very hard on yourself and your party to complete the content.

That said, if this is done right, I'm happy for it.

How's that guy supposed to get better stuff if he's barred from playing the game?

They're not barred from playing the game. I don't think you're understanding this completely. The idea is that you get the proper gear in order to get into that content.
How are you supposed to complete content that your gear is not up to par for?
You go back and get gear that IS up to par. It's a simple thing, and it's not too much to ask for.
