Reality time, they aren't changing for you. So, you have a simple choice, adapt or leave. If you choose to leave, then good luck finding a game that better suits your wants/needs. If you decide to adapt...then here are some thoughts.1. Fully participate in combats taking the actions that you think your character would most like take...if you die, so be it. If you die a LOT, more the better. At first, they'll think you suck, but they should come to realize fairly quickly that you don't suck, you're just terribly underpowered. 2. As you continue struggling, especially being undergeared, make it clear to the others when you have a slot that obviously needs upgrading. Don't be obnoxious about it and toss down a shopping list. Start with the bigger needs and just make it clear...oh, I'm using a so-and-so, does anyone have something better they aren't using or I can borrow? Fairly quickly they will identify the fact that compared to them, your gear sucks. Hopefully they'll do something about it. 3. You've decided to stay, so find a way to have fun with it. Find a niche for you, a schtick that you can repeat until it becomes fun or humorous, etc. 90% of the time that people don't enjoy an entertainment related activity, it's because they aren't investing the effort to enjoy it. Not just to participate in it, but to enjoy it. *shrugs* These are just my thoughts. Whatever you decide, I hope it works out well for you. Cedric</blockquote>
