I don't have any of my older screenshots with me, though this one, a Heavensward era shot, is technically old by now.

My appearance hasn't changed much from 2.0 to 4.0 (save for losing my face stripes), but my scar on my right cheek is a notable thing: I got it, and wear it proudly, to represent the 4 months or so that I pushed and struggled to clear T5 way back when. My FC wasn't interested in helping, but instead of giving up, I set out to find others like me, who really wanted to clear it.

Made a lot of new friends along the way and we dedicated ourselves to doing it, over and over, wipe after wipe, but learning and progressing little by little, til we finally pulled it off. In the end, I was told by our BLM (who went on to be a raid leader) that it was me who ultimately taught her and the rest, when no one else would. I'd never felt so accomplished, nor had I ever been so sincerely thanked for what I'd done.

For all the gear or titles I'll ever have, nothing's going to hold as much meaning as that scar. It's a permanent mark of what determination and effort helped me achieve.
