Traded my 65 lock with 1073 gold on it for this S1 PvP onry level 70 Holy Pally..doesnt have epic pally mount, didn't have flying mount, etc..I'm taking care of all of the downfalls..and trying to get into some heroics. Meh..5 levels wasn't THAT much off from this character considering all the work I have to put into it..so w/e I'm 70 now..I skipped 5 levels..not that big of a deal..
It had Gladiator's Shield on..I bought the Crystal Pulse..it had no sockets..I bought gems for Glad Helm and Chest..it had no flying mount and only 20g..I bought 1000g from a site cuz that'd take forever given his profs/quests..(yes i feel guilty for buying that much but im over it..least it didnt attribute to the AH and **** w/ economy)..
So meh..in the end I skipped ahead slightly..and now I'm I can enjoy farming all day and running instances in my spare time. -_-;
Note: I have coilfang, auchidoun, and hellfire heroic keys so far..working on others..and when i get some more gold i'll start getting enchants as well.
