The point I was trying to make was that wearing gear that is way over level for ppl who are for example r20 conj and wearing a vintage hauby just cause it looks cool is insane. People insist that their "freedom" is being threatened by this issue I'm talking about and it's downright silly to get so worked up over a topic like this. In a calm and collected manner I was attempting to pose the point that this wearing equipment at any rank system could have some vast reprecussions. I'm not trying to be snobbish, selfish, or controlling so I'd appreciate if the responses could be a bit more polite.
I've not read all of your posts, so I can't make a definitive judgement. But from your original post, it seems you were implying that if people wear any gear that isn't the best, or optimal as gear nazis like to call it to cover up their single track minds, it was a terrible choice and it shouldn't be allowed.

Now you wonder why you were getting aggressive replies, and to boot you are calling other people trolls. You Sir, are the real troll. When you go around telling people what they should be allowed to do and what they shouldn't be allowed to do... in your world of fabricated rules designed for people with no mind of their own! Ah yes, this is the real issue. Why are there people who feel like we should all follow an unwritten rule book when we play an MMO? Hmmm? Now that is a truly good question!

It reminds me of something. Something that should be close to the hearts of many players. What do the 'normal' people in society say about your geek habits and hobbies? They tell you it's not 'normal' and it's no good, right? That you are a loser in life. And you get angry about that, don't you? You say they just don't understand that it's what you enjoy. Then what do you do?

You go in-game and act the exact same way to players who don't wear what's considered the best gear!!!! The Irony!
