I have to have a rogue epic weapon at level 9?

[joejccva71]

I just started playing this game barely two days ago. I haven't played since 2001, and I've been trying to decide between two classes. An enchanter and a rogue. I've been kinda leveling up both some. Enchanter is 10, Rogue just hit 9. I get into a Crushbone "wall" group and some guy looks at my gear and says "why don't you have your epic equipped?". I said that I didn't have one and that I just started two days ago.

He acted very surprised, and said that if he was the leader he would have booted me immediately.

I have pretty thick skin in general but being that I JUST started the game, am I wasting my time trying to level a rogue up? I know they can't solo, but if I'm going to get inspected and then denied a group because I don't have an epic weapon then I guess it really narrows down the class selection...

What say ye? Or should I use the term people use and say on these forums....

This shit's insurmountably classic.
