I agree with everything you said, I'm pretty new to the game but I remember when I was leveling and I'd stop by IF to use the AH and bank and I'd see a rogue in t6 I'd shit my pants thinking how cool it looks and how that guy must be pretty good. Now, I see everyone in IF in the same gear, everybody and their mother can get t7/t8. Does this sound elitist? Yes, but I don't care. I'm like you Sharf, if I am going to invest 20 hours of raiding a week into this video game then you can bet your ass I want people to tell by simply looking at my character.
As far as roster problems, I really have no idea how to fix it. It seems the only thing to do when we're short people is just bring in randoms and hope they're good, and if they're good let them stay. It doesn't seem like when we're short 5 people at raid time we can be really picky about who comes in, we just want the numbers and hope they can press their 2 key really fast and carry them. I hope I'm not one of the 'awful' people replacing the people that have gone casual but I would have to agree that we have some pretty bad people coming to raids. The last Rogue app we had I don't even understand how he got into a raid when a simple look at his armory was enough to know he had no idea what the fuck he was doing.
