Gee, if there just was something that dictated what words mean we could call it a dictipedia or dictionary or so idk, that would be immensely useful so we don't have to define what words mean with every other gnorl.
yeah impossible to think someone that does just the bare minimum is considered less productive despite obviously being able to be more productive, boggles my mind as well
if someone does orange parses for their ilvl they are no noob, gear alone doesn't determine how good of a player someone is or how much they can bring to the party
knowing how to play your class doesn't automatically make you understand every other part of the game
that's like saying they play mage on an insane level therefore they must know how to tank every fight
As a raid leader, I used productivity and value not just one or the other, I certainly didn't give a shit if you had orange parses every other fight but can't be trusted to stop and help or play mechanics on the other side I also don't give a shit if you're the guild master or an officer
and now as a guild master but not a raid leader I understand that others who are doing better at a fight get to be in the raid instead of me
