I can't hit one macro on any job without something getting chenged. So pardon the rest of us if our intelligence isn't just a little insulted when one person criticizes the effective tactics of other players just because he's not where they are yet.
Okay, I'll bite.

"You're just a noob because he isn't at our levels of awesomeness yet, where you absolutely MUST gear-swap, or else you'll be gimp. Don't hate us just because we're better than you!"

Seriously, I'm getting tired of the same old song of ad hominem. I never said gear swapping wasn't effective; that was never the point. My problem really stems from the fact that it's too effective. And you've done nothing to defend it's place in this game other than essentially "everybody else does it" and "it's the most efficient way of doing things."

Heck, I didn't (and still don't) even want to continue this particular line of discussion, anyway. Personal attacks, though, count as "something really stupid" in regards to what I said earlier.
