I don't get it.

Groups literally reject you from content if your AP number isn't a certain amount.
So not only do you have to grind for item level gear but also for stupid numbers on a weapon talent tree.

Back in the old days of WoW, none of this mattered at all. People just invited you if your class and character level was okay and you weren't a sperglord.

I started when Dire Maul was released, and I say you have to move on anon, the WoW we knew is no more.

Ahhh...well I'm glad I didn't resub with the latest patch.

Just sounds like an extension of the Gearscore cancer that started cropping up during WotLK

DKP was for guilds deciding who got what loot, not whether you could get in or not.

>>376528532
DKP was a optional system used by outside sources for participating in raids.

Item level and AP cancer are mandatory. You literally cannot enter a instance if your number is below a certain amount, the game gives you an error if you try to enter it.

Bruh, they handing out 2-5 million AP per world quest these days. If you're weapon isn't level 40 at this point you should just give up and play hunter.

That's because it is. Item levels always been in the game since Vanilla but was mostly hidden. Wotlk is when they started making it visible to players through a addon then they made it official in the game shortly after.

That's the dungeon finder's fault. Blizzard have to design dungeons in a way that lets five idiots with absolutely no coordination beat them while ignoring every mechanic.
