Sometimes it seems as a minority you may run into max levels of the same class who really want to take you under their wing or help you out to give you an edge knowing the struggles you may have to endure along the way and how slow it can be. It may turn into you being a bit twinked and groups would be silly to say no as long as you know how to play. For example I just met a level 60 Ogre SK with an epic who donated 3 Darkforge pieces (used for epic quest), a weapon and a little bit of money to ease my struggles along the way and giving me a better chance to find groups. It's cool to make new friends like that and makes you feel proud to be your race and class and also the underdog. He's a good dude and player. I am more happy that I am making new friends and to me that's more important to the gear I was given. Having friends like that can also be a benefit to ask questions and advice while playing the game and having good conversations to help the time go by not so slowly. To me that's more valuable than the gear.
