LOL, reminds me of when I was in my 40's in Tanaris...lots of WTF's, etc. in Gadget so I put on a light show with CL and a star and chatted with people. One guy seemed particularly interested so I chatted longer with him and then he wanted me to roll 4 new toons on another server and him 1 new toon and all level together. I explained I like playing 5 and had my existing 70's to support my 5's too so I wasn't interested. Since then he's said hi a few time, even from his 70 and I'd go help him finish up group quests if he ever asked on his lower level toon that I first met.

I think people just want to be part of something cool because they can't afford it or do it themselves.
