In the years I've been on this server, I've never even once seen someone shamed or denied a group because of their character's gear. Especially as a new player. Not even once.
Even playing a Rogue as my first character when every other low and mid level Rogue had a Ragebringer already (pre fix to 46 requirement) I never got deneid or made fun of at all. Maybe people were thinking it... But if so they kept it to themselves.
I just have a hard time believing this actually happens. If anything... People on this server are very proud of what they have earned in their time playing here. I doubt anyone would mind grouping with a new player that may actually be "impressed" by their gear or thinks their character is cool..
Outside of playful banter between guildies/friends if someone happens to have one funny item that stands out so blantantly compared to the rest of their gear... Or maybe a tank that's new to a guild and still in full Crusty armor might not be allowed to tank AoW.. I can't imagine this actualy happening
