I was in STV trying to kill Gorlash on my 41 warrior, but needed help. So I check who's in the area and find Meggido, a 41 pally. We take him down and we're riding back to hand in, so I check what he's got equipped. It's all greens, so the conversation went something as follows:
Grognak: Is this your main or an alt?
Meggido: An alt, I already have a level 80. Why?
Grognak: I was just wondering, cause you're only wearing greens.
Meggido: I'm not worried, I'm just levelling this so I can turn him into a DK.
Grognak. But, you don't turn a toon into a DK, you create a new DK.
Meggido: !%^@
Meggido: !%^@ !%^@ !%^@
Grognak: My sympathies man.
Meggido has left the party.
Needless to say, I had a serious giggle with my girlfriend about this. It takes a fair amount of time to get to 40. At least he didn't get to 55 and find out then that he didn't need to level a toon so high.
