I don't need to prove my worth to anybody, I want to be able to make friends, join guilds and play the game like everybody else.
If thats a peak of your Nost ambitions then you don't need fresh start to begin with. For anything else than 5mans any mby pug zg and mc u will need to appear worth to people that decide about giving you a spot in groups. It doesn't mean u have to be geared asap but I have a feeling (yes I'll give myself a right to judge you based on a "feeling" as it seems you gave yourself right to do same) vanilla ain't for you man.[/quote]
I won't allow people to judge me just because they have better gear than me, I played through Vanilla from the start of retail WoW.
And "appearing worthy" to people is all about asslicking, I don't remember ever having to do that, usually I would just meet a large group and I'd be able to join in regardless of gear because that's how it was back then.
Nobody had a single fucking clue what they were doing and most players were equipping the best looking gear instead of the best gear for their specs.
But of course, a lot of you seem like you never actually went there on retail, I don't doubt some of you have, but I can tell that most haven't, otherwise you'd understand what I'm saying here.
