Made it to 80 a couple of weeks ago and I learned that everyone, atleast on my server, only gives a shit about their GS and anyone who doesnt have an equal of greater GS they dont give a shit about raiding or doing anything with them. If I would have known that the whole game revolves around that dumb damn number I wouldnt of worried about playing wow at all. I cancelled my subscription after I came to this realization. 

Uhhh... yea you should have been playing when the game was still good. Don't know what to tell you. (By the way, "when the game was good" means when it still had a level 60 cap.)

GS? I quit playing wow about 6 months ago, can't say I ever heard "GS".

1.) Poke around among the WoW forums, find a good, friendly guild.
2.) ???
4.) PROFIT!!!

" GS? I quit playing wow about 6 months ago, can't say I ever heard "GS". "

I played one month of World of Warcraft, not my kind of game. I personally found it really boring.

Gearscore. Its a number people apply to gear to counteract that they dont have any skill. "

Must be a fairly new term. "

Lich King made everything way easier, I miss doing Grull's, Mag's, and TK, all those raids that were actually fun....

I wish that was the case, my brother's raiding every night. It's eating away at him slowly... He's obsessed with clearing... whatever the toughest instance out there is right now.

Sdodd412   If you aren't doing the Hard Modes of raids, and say WoW is too easy. You are the noob casual.   Hard Modes are what Vanilla raiding was. But now they have an easy mode, so everyone can see the well designed raid. If you played in Vanilla, "When it was good" , you should be doing Hard Modes of raids. They are the same as new content from Vanilla. I played in Vanilla, and only do hard modes from the last patch. So i can never say WoW is too easy, since i am not doing the hard part.  Saying WoW is too easy, without having ever done a hard mode is like saying "Mass Effect is too easy, i played it on easy mode and blew through it.". Either stop QQ'ing, or grow a pair and play "On Hard Mode", then call it too easy when your Ensidia. "

run heroics spend badges on "free" 232/245 gear ???? profit.

I'm sure you could've found a raiding guild to help you. Or utilize the random dungeon finder to gear up the best you can before you go looking for a guild.

GS is gearscore. Every item you wear has an item level, obviously higer tier items from lets say Icecrown Citidel are going to be alot higher then Naxx 10. 
Theres websites out there (wowheroes comes to mind) that read peoples wowarmory pages and pull the information off that, giving you a gear score. 
 
Unfortunately people want you to be over geared in order for you to be in their groups. 
 
I'm glad I don't play that game anymore.

The problem with WoW now is the community. Back in Vanilla, everything wasn't already explained and planned out for you. You could easily weed out the good players from the bad. Now that it's become World of Mathcraft and the EJ forums effectively figures the best way to do everything the day after any new content appears on the PTR, everyone thinks they're the best player in the world without doing any sort of experimenting on their own.  So now you have a bunch of self-righteous and egotistical dbags running around acting like they know everything about the game. No longer have to think,  everything is already figured out for you.
 
I cleared MC, BWL, AQ40, and up to Patchwerk in Classic. I cleared every raid in BC and I quit before Ulduar came out (Did all the hard modes in 10 and 25. Only achievement I was missing was Immortal) and the game was nothing near to what Sunwell was in difficulty and I hear it still isn't from my old guild members.

Screw GS and PUGS. Join a guild.

I miss Molten Core. :(

That's just nostaglia speaking.  Level 60 sucked.  The instances were poorly designed and overly long, farming was a ridiculously tedious endeavor, and every pre-AQ40 raid boss was tank-and-spank.  I'd say Burning Crusade was the the highlight of the game's end-game existence. "

Things have changed from my day. We used to call that the iLevel or item level. 
 
But i've not played in over a year now.

Yep,
My favorite part about the GS mentality is seeing melee using caster trinks because it has a high GS

Forget about it, you don't want to do raiding anyway.  I tried that stuff, and even though my guild was extremely organized, and we progressed so fast that other guilds suspected we must have had help from one of the recently transferred tier 3 guilds (tier 3 was the highest at that time, I'm sure it's raised since then), but god damn it was so boring and tedious I eventually just logged out forever, and canceled my sub.
