A warning to noob roguesFollow

My friends and fellow rogues, I’ve done something stupid.

In WoW, I’ve always been fine with money. Well, more than fine. I’ve had amazing success with the AH and have accumulated a vast sum of money. This has allowed me to make my main char pretty close to a twink.

When I hit 50, I figured- hey, 8 lvls to go, better make them go quickly!- and promptly got some darn good gear. Ran Mara for Thrash and Albino boots, picked up two pieces of Shadow whatever armor (Tier 0 set) in the AH for 10g total. Got Stormshroud chest and shoulders, Devilsaur legs and gauntlets. For all intents and purposes, I’m freaking awesome.

Now I’m level 59. I play with my fiancée and we haven’t gone through the portal yet. It’s finally hit me: I’m retarded. I didn’t listen to anyone- I wanted to be constantly geared in blues for ease of leveling (on the plus side, I did level pretty fast for a casual gamer). Everyone told me gear doesn’t matter until Outlands, and even then only in gearing for heroics until 70.

Problem is, I still have bad habits. I’m still searching the AH, now for stuff “of the bandit”. Now when I hit 60, I’ll have 2 bandit greens a 1 blue belt (I bought it for 1g so I didn’t feel bad) to put on. I thought I’d care that I would be breaking my sets but now I just don’t care. I can’t believe I thought the extra 20-odd damage from the Stormshroud set made it worth keeping. The +20 hit rating from Devilsaur, much better but still. Outlands gear is freaking awesome.

Noob rogues or rogues that are addicted to gear like I am/was- please heed this message: SAVE YOUR GOLD. Unless you plan on farming honor or doing BGs, don’t waste your gold. You’ll need it for mounts.

Think of it this way- you can either spend 30g on your Scorpion Sting that you’ll upgrade in a few levels or you can save the 30g and save yourself a half hour of gold grinding for your flying mount(s).

Save don’t spend. Please. Don’t be retarded like I was.

In Outlands they wipe their **** with gold. It's painful and unnecessary, but they get just that much of it.

I love you.
