Haha... I got it pretty bad for a while. I was leveling low level melee jobs in the dunes. All of my equipment is always HQ2 or HQ or some NM drop type thing (boots etc). I'd recently switched nations to Windy but had not Ranked up any at all (and didn't for weeks) so I was Rank 1. If you are Rank 1 with leet gear... GILBUYER!!!! Also on my main I got it a lot... Level 75 Rank 1? GILSELLER!!!!
People are retarded. I would just get random tells from people that just checked me or something accusing me of one or the other just because of my rank versus my gear/level. Just continue to play and enjoy the game... if you play well and have pride in what you do and thus make a point to always have good gear... you will hear this for quite sometime. Once you can afford outrageous gear for your low level jobs (like spending 100k extra just for 1 more DEF... because you can) then people that don't know about your 75 job or know your reputation will accuse you of this. Every time you go back and try to play a low job with leet gear the prema-noobs in areas like the dunes will talk sh!t to you.
