Money issues
I've run into a similar situation myself...For all those folks out there offering the typical cash camp ideas I'd like to offer a few explanations
I know you guys are trying to help and suggest profitable camps camps, but they are very limited and heavily camped.
-Wisps are good money, but when you get exp for them they are tough without decent gear.
-LFay bandits are pretty much permacamped...I've had my other character, a16 shaman camped there for about 4 months strait and i check it first every time I log on. the camp is perpetually taken, usually the northern camp too
-WK bandits-I had my camp stolen at least a half dozen times by a group of low teener twinks that just run in, take all the mobs and run off
-I know I'm not alone, I really dont feel like invensting the time to play a class i dont want to play in order to farm items/plat for a character i want to play
-a lot of the popular level zones are packed with people that seem to love going afk while in your group and training non stop when they aren't.
It is tough to start out, but it's also understandable that nobody is out in EC spending all day to sell some giant snake fangs and shiny brass shields for 10p when they have 100k in the bank. The hardest part of the low level game is finding the less hardcore groups that will accept your toon without being rockstar twinked out.
I play untwinked, and i think it makes the game more fun, i'd rather be camping out front of the castle in CB because i need the warlords bracer than because I'm simply trying to grind out my level. it just makes the hunt more enjoyable. To me, as soon as you twink out a character it becomes a rush to high levels to get better stuff and it never ends.
Enjoy the game, play what you want. I've been passed on for plenty of groups because I'm a hybrid without L33t gear, but most of the groups I have been invited into have been great. One perk to grouping with rich kid alts is that usually the stuff that drops at your level will be an upgrade for you, and the group will let you take it.
That being said there is nothing for infuriating than a twinked out powerhouse rolling on an item just to sell it for 2plat, but thats a whole separate issue.
I would like to add, however, that most of the people on the server have been truely
Amazing-I can't even count how many times someone has helped me without even asking, be it a corpse run/hunt, buffs, random awesome gear hand me downs, or even bying the crap gear I'm selling just to help me out when I can see they already have better
sorry just had to rant... :/
