Ya I do agree that WZ's are slot machines but I do not think it is so much gear related as class make up. Sometimes you end up with all healers and rdps other times you get no healers and melee tanks and no dps (the combinations go on). I just more people realized the meta game in WZ's and would complain less about losing without taking the meta game into consideration. When people starting yelling at their ops group that they suck, they are noobs, l2p, the first thing to look at is the class make up. I am sorry but (Ex:) 4 mara/sents, 3 dps sorcs/sages, and a tankasin/shadow is not gonna do well against a more balanced makeup that include healers and support classes/specs.
I still give this thread a thumbs up!
