I feel like this couldn't be any less true. In my opinion Rogues are probably the least gear dependent of any melee class in the game.. Unless you're seriously gonna count Bard as a melee class (hehe.) Even further off is P99 having no tolerance for non-twinks. Sure there are gonna be some jaded folks at the high end that may wince a little bit if their Rogue in King is replaced by anything short of a primal Rogue with a CoL but at that point you're 55+ and OP is talking about rolling a new character.

I've never once seen or heard of a player getting denied a group or anything else due to their poor gear. Honestly I probably get more enjoyment out of meeting and grouping with new players wielding rusty weapons and wearing raw hide armor than I do a group of multiple fungi twinks when playing low or mid level content.
