Just dinged 80, in the entire first blue PVP set and joined my first BG at 80 to begin the long road to getting some decent PVP gear. Soon after joining, the abuse started. Whispers about my lack of gear, noob-calling on the /bg, telling me to GTFO... I've been playing WoW since the beginning, I have a thick skin for this stuff, but I found this entirely disgusting, toxic behavior. Everyone was a fresh 80 once, and it seems as if they all forgot that.
/rant off. But please, don't act that way.
