Nearly always, yes.

You will *never* get over-geared players in normals, you will nearly
always get them in heroics. The first heroic I ran the TANK pulled over
200K dps. the rest of us mostly just watched and I think the healer
switched to shadow...

It would be a pretty good bet that the gods of a world like this
probably do not play chess and indeed this is the case. In fact no gods
anywhere play chess. They haven't got the imagination. Gods prefer
simple, vicious games, where you Do Not Achieve Transcendence but Go
Straight To Oblivion; a key to the understanding of all religions is
that a god's idea of amusement is Snakes and Ladders with greased rungs.
