I lol'd when you said check achieve. So many people on my server are doing that. 2 things wrong with that statement. 1) People can piggy back raid groups. Come on. You can suck at dps'ing and still get an achievement. Hell, you can get it if you're dead and just watch dude go down. 2) How the hell are you supposed to get an achievement if you have to have it to run an instance??i agree gearscore is stupid. so is checking for an achievement as a requirement to get into it
new emblems/gear just means more grinding but for different stuff. New features.. such as the new group finder just means it's easier to get to grinding. lol.3.3 came out yesterday. New badges, new gear, more in-game features. You should keep playing.
