One thing I'd really like to see, and this is probably the wrong forum for it, is a general response to "Am I geared enough for X?" threads. These annoy me for multiple reasons, including that one person in the group's gear is not a sufficient measure for the likely success, X often encompasses instances with 10+ encounters, or worse, multiple instances totalling 50+ encounters (ie "heroics").
They fail to account for the fact that for 98% of the content in the game at the moment, gear is simply a substitute for skill / ability. A skilled group could quite easily complete all heroics, Naxx, Sarth + 2 drakes, VoA, and depending on composition even Maly (although dealing with breaths would be tricky, you'd need CD rotations like for Sarth+3), in full greens.
The better the gear of the group, the more slack there is for bad play, mistakes, slow reactions, incorrect rotations, etc. The numbers on your armoury profile are MEANINGLESS because there's no way to assess a player's skill from reading their post. A healer could have 40,000 spell power, and their group would still wipe on KT if they weren't able to react quickly enough to iceblocks.
The other thing it fails to account for, is how geared / skilled the REST of the group is. You don't solo heroics / raids, and it doesn't matter how little damage you take, if your healers have no regen and low SP, and your DPS are using Amphitheatre of Anguise quest rewards, then Saph will likely wipe you. The better the gear of your healers and DPS, the lower the requirements for your gear. The first time I did Naxx, I was still crittable, but my healers were able to handle it (Maex took a couple of attempts
). If you're going in with a well-established group, you'll need much less gear than if you're going in with fresh 80s.
Then there are people asking stuff like if they're geared enough for "Naxx", or "Heroics". Are you talking about Anub, Faerlina, Noth, Heigan, Razuvious and Gothik? Or are you talking about Patchwerk, Maex, Loatheb, Saph and KT? Are you talking about H UK or H HoL?
Honestly, the question is impossible to answer, and it infuriates me every time someone asks. The only way a person can know for sure, is to actually get in there and give it a try.
