Gear score question

Why not every stat has influence to gear score? I like numbers and I admit (despite the fact it's stupid..) I want to have big gear score. When artifacts was introduced also new stats appeared. I mean for example "combat advantage bonus", "control bonus", etc. Most of them occurs as 3rd stat in artifact and it's rather rare that artifact has 3 stats increases GS. So could you consider include that new stats to gear score? Or explain the difference between new ones and old ones.

    I think some stats are arbitrary and do not actually help as much as you may like and having them inflate a GS prematurely would cause issues.

    Also some boons (type +250 recovery and similar) increase GS score

    Now it's even worse - new reinforcements and stat on artifact offhand have many good stats to choose. One of them increases GS and the rest does not. It's a problem when a lot of players are GS oriented and soon there will be "LFG .... 21k+ only" just because avarage player can go GS instead of good stats. Imho it should be solved to make GS closer to its general idea.

    you should always pick the option that makes you PERFORM BEST, not get MOST GEAR SCORE. People with artificially inflated GSs are hilarious! They think they look OP, but they just look silly.

    I mean the problem of getting party when you are "decent 17k" instead of "super-duper-hardcore-GS 22k"

    People who think 17k isn't good enough are idiots. You shouldn't waste your time with them.

    Try legit channel? :S

    Sadly you can spend even hours in LFG waiting for a party in the middle GS bracket. Low GS people are really hard to get into a dungeon. With T1 sets being at decent price many people just buy them, so T1 falls out and T2 and above dungeons have a requirement by people with insane ideas.

    What made me laugh was a guy asking for a 18K+ team in LFG and everybody should have 35k HP also.

    Matchmaking on the other hand doesn't work very well, it happened to me many times, that i was waiting so long in q , that the DD hour was over.

    Another thing is many players mix their armors so wildly, that it only raises their GS, but does nothing for the team, only their ego. Many jewelries are good, but i see Hrimnir, Shore and other combos, like Dread Legion/ Ilyanbruinen 2/2 set and Bi gear combos for Cws, that are only good for high GS, but doesn't help a bit in clearing dungeon. Sadly many players don't know this and only look on the number...

    The human race is a herd. Here we are, unique, eternal aspects of consciousness with an infinity of potential, and we have allowed ourselves to become an unthinking, unquestioning blob of conformity and uniformity. A herd. Once we concede to the herd mentality, we can be controlled and directed by a tiny few. And we are.
