Should just make all items BoE. What’s the difference if I Buy it from the AH or Inside the Raid. I haven’t done a single raid because every Raid is LF Buyer/Carry. The game went from LF Healer/Tank to LF People with Gold. It’s an unpleasant experience. I even made a Tank but nope can’t roll on loot need to buy it. Can only do Dungeons and Heroics after that people want Buyers not Players. Wotlk not having Random dungeon finder is going to be adding to this problem. First LF Buyer post I see in Wotlk i see im uninstalling the game. been playing since 2007 an feel like the new community has ruined the game more than blizzard has.

i feel that pain. its rampant on teh mega servers. my mains are all on pagle and i see it a looooot. i can still raid however. i just form my own raids or i wait till alte night when teh after work and kids are in bed crowd comes on and i can usually pug a few raids a week this way. admittedly SSC TK Hyjal are the worst for gdkp. those are harder to pug into for some reason. and i will also admit that sunwell trash farm sellers are retarded adn im tired of seeing it lol. my solution has been make my own raids for msot part. i just advetise that im looking for one tank that knows the raids if im forming one that im not as familiar with and it seems to go ok.

Sorry to hear that you’re having a hard time getting into raids.
Playing as a tank for raiding can make it difficult to get a spot because so few tanks are needed. Especially if you are undergeared. There are more tank spots proportionally for dungeons, and tanks having gear/experience is so important for clean raid runs too.
If it is possible for you to play at scheduled times weekly you should really look into finding a raiding guild, it’s a good time to find one with Wrath coming up and there being a “gear reset” at that point.

You are on faerlina horde, I already know you are lying. SR runs are happening in chat all day every day. If you are really lazy I’ll PM you a discord for a weekly 2SR SWP + 2SR BT.
You can also find 2SR or MS>OS runs on the Faerlina Stax discord, happy to link that to you as well. Legacy and current content raids happening pretty much every day of the week in multiple time slots.

find a guild, raid with regular dkp/council

DKP is a HORRIBLE system to get into - at this stage, most raiders would have had PLENTY of time to stock DKP out the wazoo, so the chances of a new member getting any loot are incredibly slim.

then find guild with system you want
Award DKP based on avoidable damage. Problem solved heh
You should look for a guild that has a loot prio or DKP system. You can’t expect MS>OS runs especially on poorly geared characters. If you don’t want to commit to a raiding system - don’t raid.
If everything was BOE the game would be trash. So no thanks.
The only loot prioritization system that would benefit a newly-70 character would be carries (No one else in the guild/group needs the gear, so the new tank gets it all) No guild will prioritize progression gear to a new tank.
As I mentioned earlier, DKP systems are a terrible idea.
MS/OS runs are essentially designed for players needing gear from that particular raid. “Poorly-geared” is a terribly subjective phrase.
You can’t commit to any raiding system outside of guild carries at this stage of an expansion - you have little chance of getting any items through DKP; I wouldn’t consider GDKPs something you need to commit to; MS/OS runs are literally their best chance at gearing, and yet, in Karazhan, groups are doing gear-checks. It’s a sad time.
they don’t want to do any work to find a group, for all the talk of the “lack” of socializing because of gdkps…they don’t want to do any actual socializing for groups
But they also want us to know they hate LFR because it destroyed the game
But also they don’t want to have to find a guild either

Groups did gear checks pretty heavily even on pservers for content. The reality is that you aren’t bringing much to the table with a fresh geared 70 alt unwilling to commit to a raid loot system.
When I was a fresh 70 on a well established P server I was a rogue which was very difficult to get groups for, but instead of complaining I made my own kara group and farmed PVP gear. Eventually I was making my own pugs for Sunwell, but it would have been much easier to complain on the forums about it.

Yeah, Protection Paladins can’t use PvP gear to tank. They’d get destroyed. DPS and, to an extent, healers can. However, tanks cannot.
There’s not much that tanks can do these days to not be considered under-geared by T5/T6 players, except, you know, have that same gear.
Pro tip the raid still has to kill the boss and the person still has to be there for the kill to get a BoP item 
Gear isn’t even part of the equation if you’re the one doing the gear checks. You can go ret or holy, nobody makes you go prot. It’s about taking the initiative and not just complaining that nobody is inviting you to their MS>OS groups.
Well we can let them die 
If you’re a fresh 70, setting up a raid, and you do gear checks, no one’s going with you.
Now we’re dabbling in preferences - no one should be forced to play any spec.
Everything BoE? Hmm… I don’t quite like that.
Now soulbound items being able to be sent to your own alts (in the same server and faction of course) is something i’ve been wanting since forever.
We already can’t trade soulbound items so why not just let us do that?

If you aren’t part of the modern gaming mentality of being a RMT cheater or cheater-enabler via GDKP, then my advice to you is either find a guild that matches your play values & stick to that closed community, or quit the game.
