Why do you need gear if you aren’t competing with others? Raider’s compete with other raiders for the best gear and dps possible. Hence why you’re posting on a 56 alt. We don’t hide anything but you keyboard warriors hiding behind alts trying to belittle people that think you shouldn’t be rewarded for doing group content that requires cooperation,communication and skill.
I will admit this though the formula for raid bosses has gotten a little silly since we’re no longer bringing classes because they have useful abilities that should be encouraged over doing the top dps but sadly that’s what the current end game is about.
In mythic+ you’re forced to rush the entire time and to me that’s not a fun gameplay loop and TRULY breeds elitism. “hahaha you don’t have 3k io score you must suck”. I don’t think dps should matter as much as skill should be valued. But the current endgame is all about doing as much damage in as short of time as possible.
I think both LFR and Mythic raiding are BAD for the game and the raiding community as whole along with the constant rush mentality of mythic plus. I attribute this all to activision wanting to turn WoW into an e-sport.
