This is such a bad take. Era is not full of tryhard guilds. Most guilds don’t have this kind of gatekeeping mentality.

Best thing you can do is to join a real guild who is doing normal loot systems…
Join a real guild and just casual your way to epic loots; don’t be in a rush, and don’t expect to be full BiS; that would be utterly ridiculous. Instead just have a good time; if you join a real guild and raid weekly; eventually you will have great gear.
Also learn about your class and why certain items are BiS rather than just that they are.

It’s not “tryhard” to understand how the game works.
Can’t tank + can’t heal + in direct competition with warriors for many items = hardest class to gear up, by a mile.
you join a guild and start at the bottom.
oh wait you’re on whitemane. what you need to do is somehow aquire a suspicious amount of gold and then spend it on gear in pugs.

Hey everyone!
Let me start I started playing Wow back in legion, I’ve only played retail until last month, I decided to give a shot to classic and Wow! I love it! The journey to 60 was amazing. So much new content that i’ve never done in retail.
Here’s my problem though, I cant seem to be able to get gear upgrades… I’ve got all my “pre raid BiS” in my 60 rogue, without a party finder its nearly impossible to form a raid party… I was told well try GDKP they’re a good way to start gearing so I went a head and did a ZG gdkp, a few upgrades dropped, I was like good! Then came the part to “Bid” on items, so one of the items I did bid in was hakkari girdle started at 100g up to there nice I can bid on this I’ve got 700 golds. Very quickly the item went for 900g sadly I couldnt buy it, then all others pieces went by and I ended up not being able to purchase any pieces… I was like well atleast I’ll get my “cut” and maybe be able to purchase some gear on my next run! When time came for cuts, I was told i’m not getting any cuts because I didn’t buy anything and came in the raid as a “Buyer”.#9 in the DPS charter seems like it’s not enough to get my cut so I went home empty handed…
How am I supposed to gear up as a new player when I dont have a ton of golds. I’ve tried looking for guilds, the issue is I work a 3-2-2-3 job alternating days and night shifts so I can’t get in their raids schedule every weeks and wouldn’t get recruited because of that. I just can’t seem to progress any further where as in Retail I could just hop in the group finder, using addons people could see my io score & gear and tell I was experienced enough and easily get invited in there.
I really enjoy Classic wow and would love to get into end game content but it seems like gold rules everything now a day. No golds, no upgrades. As a new player I feel left behind and it’ doesn’t seem like there’s a good way to catch up in gear.
I’m playing on Whitemane, Alliance. Needless to say I love PvP. Battlegrounds are often spammed with R14 people or T2-T3 geared people and it’s almost impossible for me to compete as a rogue.
Anyone knows if there’s any plans to implement a Group finder? Or have any tips on what I could do to gear up and catch up to all those years long players who has insane gear?
Thanks.
Buy gold and do GDKP seems to be how 90% of people are gearing now
Mootwo:
I think his biggest hurdle is the schedule. As someone who’s recruited a lot, we tended to look for people who could show up at least 80% of the time. As much as I hate to say it a schedule like this would have been a dealbreaker, unless the person was ok with being a casual or bench player.
Agreed.
GDKP is not my first preference but if one lives the pug life it is what it is. Just vet the group/organizer so surprises are less common.
