The Gear Myth and Guild Bigotry

Today's Opinion Corner features the Pixelated Executioner's profanity-laced explanation of the Great Gear Myth, i.e., folks who have great gear always know how to play.  Don't pass up someone whose gear looks like it came from the Salvation Army for a raid, particularly if they are a solo player.  Believe me, someone who doesn't have great gear handed to them knows how to play their character.

It's always puzzled me why Blizzard lets WOW players get away with stuff that gets you into big trouble or tossed in jail in real life--hazing, killing NPCs, camping dead bodies, theft, racism, homophobic behavior, sexism, harassment, stalking, religious intolerance, and threats.  Since it exists, the smart guild leader needs to have strategies to cope, and Cold Comfort discusses how to handle bigotry in a guild.
