Call me a whining noob? Oh dear. It is really like talking to a five year old... with a learning disability (though he's got his reset items - smug little S.O.B)
Yes, some players took a year or more to hit the battle list and do their resets. But most freaking didn't - nor did their alts.
So stop acting like it was like a hike up a freaking Himalayan mountain to talk to the great sage at the top to get freaking Enlightenment.
The truth is, you got to the top and there was just AThunkingMonkey. The pearl of wisdom he threw at your feet?
'Eep oop, whoo bugga'
(You debate the meaning of this. Some read it as, 'Buy a pro-pack!' Some as, 'You can enchant your items - so buy aqua with xtals!')
Now why are you in such a 'crappy' mood. Oh? He threw monkey crap? Donchaworrylittlegeek,itllcomeoffinthewash.
