Default Per level 50 facts for those who have no idea

I realized most people on this server are level 50+ and most likely have no idea what it is like on this server starting now as a new player without twink gear. Just thought I'd shine my experience and future ideas on the lovely forums.

Pre level 50 Facts:

Most people rolled a solo class because groups are so few and far between they get more exp soloing then grouping so most of them never see other players until 50+

The only pvp you will experience is a twink with level 50+ caliber gear or someone with an out of ranged healer tagging along.

If you pvp anyone else you can't group with them and most likely unless they have a clear advantage they will just run.

It's counter productive to pvp with people around your level because chances are they are 1 of 4 people around your level and you would benefit grouping with them and making friends instead. In some cases if you can't solo you can't xp without them.

Most zones are empty that are below level 50.

Most people you group with tend to be hybrids and xp penalty classes which slow xp even more. *This tends to be because they can somewhat solo as a hybrid more effectively then a pure melee.*

You have 50% less of a bonus to xp then 90% of the population had for months. This is the big one - fair is fair and this is not.

Most guilds only want 45+ players further reducing your chances for group and exp.

Most higher levels are in kunark or deep in old world dungeons and only show up to gank you. I've had at least 30 people run up to me while leveling from 1-30 that were 45 + all geared out hoping to gank me. Then just run away after they realize im not in range. Not even a word, some of them just gate instantly.

These are the facts.*

They are all road blocks on the pathway to join the general population.

I think these problems would go away with a bigger exp bonus for obvious reasons that it will help people get thorough these conditions easier.

My plan is to play my necro solo to avoid most of this bullshit. Maybe when the xp bonus is back and my necro is higher, I can help plvl my friends and get them to come back.

I'm just glad I got my necro to 40 before the bonus stopped. If I started from level one I'd prolly quit too just on the principle that others had an unfair advantage over me.

Back in my day, when the rest of the server was leveling up - without twink gear - we didn't make forum posts about how hard and unfair everything was.

Bravo.

You are 100% accurate.

Anyone who talks shit is just a spoiled little bitch who's had it easy, and now has a bitter attitude, cause ungratefulness is as common as a pair of fat tits on most of these male ForumQuesters.
