Support this 100%. I've been told where to go a couple of times because of my gear as a tank letting the group lose a bit of efficiency with healing. It's a rough server for those who haven't got a high level and are working on an alt and while many are quite accomodating when they chat to you, you can't help but feel that when you join and 2-3 people decide to leave shortly after you replaced a twinked tank that its gear related and its antisocial.
To that end I recently decided my SK isn't something I'm going to pursue anymore, because simply I haven't got the gear and instead I need to make a class that can do things "for donations" so that one day I can have the plat to gear him properly to get a warmer response from groups.
Obviously that's a sweeping statement and not everyone is included, but there are some elitist asshats on the server who won't accept less than a full set of darkforge or whatever before dismissing you as unworthy to tank for them.
Rolled a cleric after playing a shaman on live for years and enjoying heal duty, think I'll be good at it, and hoping that gear isn't going to matter as much.
