But I’m sorry, I spent so many nights when I first got interested in endgame raiding crying because someone told me my gear wasn’t good enough and then called me stupid because I asked what I could do to improve it, frantically googling in an effort to find guides (there weren’t any), “I’m not here to educate you lol”, people telling me my gear wasn’t good enough for T2 when I’d been running T2 and T3 daily for a week and a half (with different groups on different days all of whom were happy to have me so I’m reasonably sure I wasn’t being carried). I wouldn’t join a T3+ run right now, but overall, my gear is really really good. I have a little bit I need to pick up and my LI needs some work. My gear is almost as good as it gets pre-Gundabad.
Well, needless to say I left that kinship, joined another one, it was real good for a while, but we had a kin meeting and during the meeting the leader was like, “Don’t join a T3 raid if your gear isn’t up to snuff.” *war flashbacks* So I cast out a few lines, asked some leading questions, and discovered that they just didn’t want to raid with him, and instead of telling him this like normal people, they were playing this stupid mind game, stringing him along. Obviously something was up, I could raid with these people and he had better gear. But so was this other person! He put in a lot of effort and during the time I was in this kin he actually got his hands on gear that was better than mine, ground and ground and ground until he had really good gear, but it still wasn’t good enough. Now I was allowed to raid with these people, and at this point I’d been working real hard on my gear and it was really good, right.
They were always doing T3+ blah blah blah, work on your gear first. I was in a kinship for a long time that was real casual, good kinship until it died, and then I quit it, and I was sort of desperate for a kinship so for about two weeks I joined another kin that I’d never heard of before or seen around, and in this kin there were a handful of serious endgame raiders, and there was one individual who really wanted to raid with them, but they always said he needed to improve his gear first. Saying, “Don’t join a T3 raid if your gear isn’t up to snuff,” is. I absolutely understand the frustration of having someone who really wasn’t ready for an instance dragging the whole team down, and if you, in your kinship, want to put in place some restrictions about gear level for certain raid tiers that’s fine, but you have to actually put those restrictions in place in a tangible, specific way.
