Please revert the dungeon combines back

[Traciatim]

Still though i don't either of them should have been there in that dungeon quite yet...

That's the level of gear the dungeon is designed for. Stop being an elistist. If you've found them via the LFG tool they have the stats to queue and that's the stats the dungeons are designed around.

Grinding T2s is so boring my brain melts and I bleed from my ears. I hate it, its a disgusting chore, and I have to do it cause trion saw fit to award greater marks from T2s. Now if I get ppl that prolong this stupid chore, sure im not gonna like it. Im not the type of to flame new players but I can certainly understand why ppl get frustrated and do it. Id like to see a separate que, 1500base SP for casters+whatever warrior and rogue equivalent needed.

Maybe you should quit "grinding" then.

Actually, you don't have to do it.

Trion saw fit to encourage higher-geared players to help lower-geared players make it through early content by adding greaters to the random rewards.

It's that simple. If you don't want to "waste your time" contributing to the overall community and helping newer players, then make a group with your higher geared buddies and roll through it like you want to. Don't pug and expect everyone to be on your level.

Keep it just like this.
I like burning through T2s and helping catch rookies up to raid status.
Good XP and some advanced marks.

It's pretty absurd for people to expect a pug to have guild quality players. It's the most asinine thing I've ever heard. I think the current situation is the best situation. However, people who take games too seriously will obviously be upset... but they have other issues that need resolving and the dungeon queues isn't one of them.

The other night I ran Deepstrike with a LFG group as DPS..Tank almost gets wiped right from the start..He thens asks the Healer and other DPS how long they have been 50s. Wondering what he was up to I did an inspect of both the Healer and the DPS. Sure enought both had only blues and greens for Armor and weapons.. Could not believe it.. Then the DPS said he had only been 50 for a few hours and this was only his second dungeon.. How did these two end up in one of the tougher T2s?? The tank said $%^ this and dropped.. The next tank in I have to say was great..Took his time, explained the Bosses. We still wiped a lot and it took forever and for a while I took over as healer but we got through it.. Still though i don't either of them should have been there in that dungeon quite yet...

If you're not wiping in your first attempts at a dungeon, that dungeon is too easy for you. Back in head start, people would spend upwards of 4 hours in these dungeons, learning the strategies that we now take for granted. Dungeons are meant to teach you to be a better player and give you a chance to show what you've learned. You can't learn if you're already steamrolling everything.

I queued with a friend a few days ago and got what was essentially 3 relatively fresh-50 players.

And we got CR.

I was tanking, my friend was healing... and I figured it can't be too bad. After spending a few minutes on the first pull, I decided to load up a parser.

pug rogue clocked in at 600 dps, pug mage at 400, pug cleric 'dps' was 2-300.

And I thought to myself "Coal gut is going to be real fun."

Turns out, he was.

These fresh players, bad as they are at dps, listened to explanations and why we wiped when we did and corrected mistakes in later attempts.

Their dps was still terrible. But we cleared CR in approximately an hour.

I wouldn't mind running with them again, seeing as how they actually listen and perform mechanics decently well... though to be perfectly honest I would've much preferred to have had a seasoned dps to help speed things along some.

the problem is the crafted gear that was introduced along with some of the available BoE items and runes allow you to push 220+ focus as soon as a character hits 50, but its an inflated value. the character's true capabilities and stats are far below what is actually necessary to do the content even if they are competent with mechanics and spec.
