Also, if you literally bought all your gear at 99 you will be sub par to those who farm their gear. Take for example DRK (just a job I know a bit about). If you bought the best pieces on the AH for every slot and then a relic, you will still only be decent and not great because you miss some key R/E pieces, such as rajas, atheling, and most importantly AF3. Also this is a very self explanatory game, I personally learnt how to play THF within 20 mins and don't get how some still cant grasp the SA and TA system >.> but then again shouldn't your gripe be with the players and not the system because when it comes down to it, it's the lack of research that really fails them.
