It is utterly insane that people with 485+ ilevel gear can come into a normal raid and roll Need on gear

And we started another thread while we already have an active thread called.

I do not understand how people roll need when wearing more powerful gear

Not necessarily. It only shows that Blizzard has determined that the item is an upgrade. We have to separate out the “combat upgrade” from the “moggability” (is that a word?) because with most things, they are intermingled. But with an item that provides no main stat for a spec, this option is not available. So an upgrade is (apparently, according to Blizzard’s rules) something that has a main stat on it that matches the loot spec’s main stat, in the case where any main stat is present. Again…
