Ty for calling me idiot.
Its a misquote, the sentence:
You got carried by overgeared healers, other tank and overgeared dps. Period.
is actually mine. Unless you state that whole group consisted of 4.8k geared people i will stick to it. It may be enough, but if your group was overgeared you still got carried. Its like fresh ding in a couple ov ilvl 200 blues joining Naxx10m run. His gear is enough to join but in fact he is carried by overgeared group as his contribution to party succes is minimal.
So, who in
this group
carried who? Undergeared is 7/12 ICC, they all have around 3.3GS.
That's cool and all but,there tanks are gonna get 1-shot by sindragosa/lk/bql
There'll be so much raid aoe damage going out that the healers will go oom...
LK:
Nuff said.
BQL:
Nuff said.

In the end, being geared is no accomplishment anymore.
I have geared my hunter alt for ICC25 two days after hitting 80. Geared through EoTs, crafts, with lucky hilt drop + that BoE tanking gun, which is surprisingly good for hunters. The same day I cleared that instance, including LK. Cant say I was doing some magical DPS, but with the 20% buff, I was more than ok with what I did.

But just a question.
How is 2.3k GS even possible? Do you like, not know how to gear?
Its the GS you get when you dont spend 24/7 doing randoms over and over to buy all 245 gear right off the bat.

No, it's the GS you get when you don't buy anything.
My healing set has 3 pieces of Emblem bought gear plus 245 crafted bracers. His GS is 2409.

randoms over and over? what is wrong with you? it takes a week or two of doing a few heroics a day to get geared for icc (esp. with the buff these days)
learn to play smarter if you dont wanna play longer

Are you using the GS add-on or something like WoWHeroes to get your score?

After 3 days at 80, no crafted gear. 5100 gs on my mage.
ToC 25, pulling about 7.5k dps on average. ICC 25, pulling about 9-10k dps.

So if people judge me by my GS alone, they'd conclude that I'm a better healer than tank but the truth couldn't be more different.
Thank you for that fine example of lack of utility of GS addon. I'll add that case to my argumentation about how GS is irrelevant and useless in the future if you agree.
There's much more you could add to your list. The only problem is: While a lot of your arguments are true, your conclusion isn't. None of your arguments up to this point explained why Gearscore itself is
useless
.
Your arguments underline that Gearscore shouldn't be used as an autopilot for group composition. That's true. But afterall, the author himself has made numerous attempts (look at the /gs experience tab or the official readme for example) to point out that it isn't supposed to be used that way.
I haven't read a single argument explaining why having a GS-Rating with different weightings on slots, depending on how much they contribute to your class instead of an avarage Item Level is useless information. I haven't read a single argument explaining why getting the information "this player killed boss x y times" from a fancy ingame window instead having to look it up on the armory (or be.imba / wowheroes etc) is a bad and useless thing.
But then again, maybe I just missed those arguments!
I made a lot of those points.
