To the original poster: there are a lot of really cool people on this server and you'll meet more of them as you continue to level. Unfortunately, it seems that the pre-level 30 zones are where it is most common to see people do stuff like this. My recommendation would be to leave Blackburrow and get an orc group in East Commonlands.
1. Ask in ooc "I'm a new character to the server trying to get to commonlands, would anyone out there mind helping me with a discounted port so I can get there?".
2. When you get to the commonlands, run to freeport and use ooc to ask for a bind.
3. Go to the EC tunnel and ask for buffs politely from the crowd via say. It may take a little bit but the main thing is to ask politely and not demand or use grammar that makes you sound like a moron - you'll get ignored.
4. Solo stuff around the dunes (run to tunnel if the air elemental aggros) or get in an orc group. You can ooc "Level 8 rogue LFG for orcs" or whatever your level is. This group will get you at least to level 12.
5. Go back to butcherblock and take the boat to Kunark. Read up on how to run through Firiona Vie, Swamp of No Hope, and then to Field of Bone to get to Kurn's Tower.
6. Get a group or solo skeletons from level 12 to 20 in Kurns. It has one of the best ZEM in the game at that level and you'll find many of the iksars seem to be less douchy and will like having a rogue as a groupmate since you're not an iksar class they can choose.
These are just suggestions to get you to 20 where the game starts to open up a little bit. It seems like many rich folks are in such a rush to level they pay to get power leveled or exploit quests like the gnoll fangs in ways that assume noone else on the server exists. Ignore these people, they are the ones who quickly get identified as tools later on in the game as they get called out for either playing their character like shit in groups, or pulling jack moves with loot or their guilds.
