Damn Gear Scores...

*sigh*

One of the things that I wish I knew nothing about. This seems to be the bane of every players existence right now. To get a heads up, to be just a little better then the others...

Even in my own guild, in my own relationship...it's rearing it's ugly head. My fellow guildies, healers, tanks, even my fiance...they are all striving to be better then the rest, to be on the top of the charts.

Is it really THAT important? You MUST do the daily, you MUST do the weekly raid..it's EMBLEMS OF FROST! Feeling like you have to run that last heroic, that last boss fight...just to keep up. Forsaking everything else...

I'm starting to resent the guild chatter about how "so-in-so is only 5 points from being the highest score in the guild" or "omg, he is out scoring me". Starting to find myself getting upset that it really matters that much to people.

Yes, I've always known about gear scores. I've always used it as a "jumping off point" to determine if someone is getting close to being ready for this raid or that. But not to the point that the game is longer enjoyable because it seems everything is a constant battle. A battle for your place...in a game?

So yeah...
