Hitting level 50.. ouch!

Let them kick you if they're going to be dicks, they can have fun sitting around waiting for the in progress queue to pop, and you can instantly get into a fresh run with some less impatient people.

Also, start doing the Crystal Tower raids as soon as possible, they're very forgiving even for people who barely meet the item level requirement, and are a great way to get geared fast.

Yeah... in total agreement. You should report them for harassment. All other arguments about Castrum and Prae aside, you should not under any circumstances do this to a fresh-50, all of us had to go through that phase.

Nobody sprung into game fully leveled with their BiS on.

This... Very much this.... As a tank(in your case you'll be an offtank) in the crystal towers you'll have it really easy... Unless you are maintanking, your Ilvl doesn't really matter(up to the last part Wod at least) and you can spam the raids for easy soldiery tomes and geardrops... Once you reach 80-90ish Ilvl you wont receive alot of hate for your gear, at least in my experience.. You will also have high enough gear to cope with ilvl 115-120+ dps jobs(for the most part anyway). At ilvl90+ you can pretty much do whatever you want outside of coil and some extreme primal fights, so just keep at it, you'll get there...
