Saw an interesting conversation in EC about Druids.

[Aicha]

Didn't read through the entire conversation, but will throw my 2copper in, FWIW.

I played a druid well into the 50s back in the day (stopped as Luclin came out), and have a secondary character druid now that just hit level 30. I had some planar armor, but only because I was guilded. If you want the high-end stuff, you're going to need to find a guild that suits your personality and join. Otherwise, you will more than likely be scraping for groups at the higher levels.
