I remember back in the day when 56 glyph was rare as crap. That could make things better or worse, depending. Better because mostly it was sewer gear vs 50 gear. Which is honestly pretty balanced. I could run death gear on my avian and haul butt. But the problem was that there were a few guys who owned glyph. And for some reason the guys who owned glyph were total...words I won't say. So things would be good until one of them dropped on the scene. Good news is that at the time, people were pretty chill and would kick the glyph users if they didn't use sewer.

But that's just me reminiscing. So I'll actually contribute to the thread with a useful comment now lol. My advice is to get yourself one or two level 56s fully decked out in gear. That way people will realize that if they pick on your 51, they'll have to deal with your 56. That usually defers people. At least the masses. Gotta watch out when you inevitably make some enemies though cause they won't give a crap about your 56.
