Ugh, WoW may not have been the first game to use it but that’s where the issue has ballooned and festered.
“LFM (easiest heroic instance around) 700000 GS, 500k DPS and link acheivments!”
No thanks.
I’d like to suggest having MF and AR appear with boon icons. That way people can keep tabs on the bullkittenters.
I’m of the opinion that if you want to go to a FoTM with a certain AR requirement, you’d best have that or be close to that requirement if only as a courtesy to your group members and so that you don’t spend most of the instance eating dirt and leaving your team a man down for a tough fight.
(I’d like to point out I haven’t bothered with FoTM yet.)
Same would apply to MF gear – running round with all the effectiveness of a paper bag so you can farm loot isn’t fair on your group – stick to soloing please.
But.
Excluding people because they aren’t encased in exotics, or the exotics you want them to be in just creates a toxic environment where people who didn’t “get there” first are shunned.
What about people with fresh 80’s who want to start running dungeons to get gear?
If you want your experienced only speedruns and your specific exotics only that’s fine, just keep advertising the way you are or join/create a guild for it.
You don’t need an inspection tool to do that.
As to the “we hate noobs” crowd, you were a noob once and someone gave you a shot, the least you can do is extend the same courtesy to someone learning the ropes – it takes 3 minutes tops to explain an encounter to someone who listens.
