If you want to play a class such as a warrior, you'll be mocked and hounded out of the door if you're holding a rusty sword and wearing raw hide armor at level 15 (unless you're on red where everyone is welcome and in the same boat)
Most players see the level of twinking going on (by "me, you and the other neckbeards") with other players alts and feel it's only right to gear accordingly... I mean who is going to group with Soandso on his warrior if aggro is spraying around the group like a catherine wheel?
Rogue with epic at Level 1.... oh shit, he's got aggro all the time!
Monk with FBSS/Sash of the dragonborn... oh shit.
Bard with hymn of restoration running.... oh shit.
We have more impact on new players starting than you think.
