MM gave a similar answer to what I thought when I read your post.

Basically you need to make a female de or human.

Wearing crappy gears or even better, none, would not bring shame, no! Such apparel or lack of apparel would bring praise!

You simply need to remember a couple things. Number 1, refer to all others as "hun," number 2, in chat always use smiley faces or frowny faces depending on the mood you want to convey.

If you do these things your p99 experience will be much better on a poorly geared toon.

My female rogue (all starting points in charisma, obviously) lost her things in Karanas. I was mid teens so thought no bother, I'll quickly replace it anyway.

I borrowed a mage summoned spear and returned to crushbone/, ready to loot a bunch of raw-hide armor, bronze spear, bracers of battle, brass earri*ngs and so on. Stuff I view as appropriate for that level really.

I put about for joining a group and I too was being harassed for my gear. I explained I had lost my corpse and didn't want to waste my (or CSR) time and would just regear. One of the most vehement objectors continued to harass me, and I can only assume he petitioned me, because gm broke invis, asked them to be nicer and summoned my corpse!

The funny thing is the corpse was only equipped with ringmail, with a puguis for a weapon. The only thing of vague value was a couple of jagged bands (had been playining unrest earlier). Not really any improvement!

I ended up vendoring most of that gear, did my trakanon idol and went to seb. Got into a couple of CE groups at level 20. One time they realised my level and kicked me from group. The group asked me to come back and open the door, but as they didn't feel like my skills were valuable enough to be grouped I was disinclined to continue playing with them. I feel bad for the monk and the warrior who I had to leave locked inside that haunted mausoleum.
