What's up with these people?
When I'm matchmaking and join a four player group, I look at everyone's gears and most of the time, I find that it doesn't make sense. They have random talents, random attributes. There's nothing that synergies. Even on challenge, heroic or dark zone, they might have stacked zero weapon damage or it's very low. Literally no or low damage to elites. It's like they haven't stacked anything. The talents don't make sense, it's like they won't even help. The requirements not met either.
The worst part is, they may have recalibrated random pieces for gear score 500+ or over. Okay, it seems they got more gear score than me (498). Good for them, if that makes them feel better and superior. But their stats are crap. I have to lead the group, play offensively, rush when appropriate, deal the most damage and so on. Crowd control when others won't or haven't thought of it.
Does it frustrate you? Do you play like this, stacking random pieces together without putting thought? And think that high gear score = better? That's not true. I'm tired of encountering these people. I look at it and say to myself... okay. I will probably have to carry this person too. They might not contribute much.
Some will have true patriot or ongoing directive pieces. Or even full sets and I'm like, okay. But I look closely to check attributes and I see they have NO weapon damage, very low DTE attribute. Why...? They could've oriented attributes more towards damage as well... still, random.
