So many lowbies in there makes me sad.

2x lowbies on each grp is more than fine, that should make a nice ammount of lowbies. think in overall benefit, it will benefit yourself in the long run trust me.

How can I get in one of those groups?

seriously, while of course more efficient than "Normal levelling" if you get in a high lvl group, it is just soooo boring... rather group these lowbies up and level normally and have actually fun doing so imo

ive been there for 2 days since lvl 25 so i was a lowbie myself and im gratefull. hit lvl 40. second day ive been there, today, i settled everything up from the start to get it going asap in the eu morning, got 2x under lvl 20 people in my grp, still very good exp. i understand that people want to get into a grp with all 45+ and full dps. Do ur private zerg then, or join this public zergs with ur private grps noone will argue. I will be puttin lowbies in my grps.

thats a very good point : )

In the old days there were proper groups in the Sprag Den. Now, I'm soloing and competing with focus pull groups 5-10 levels below me.

At least I don't have to argue over loot!

imo things will get back to normal in some weeks, when all the hardcore elitists have got several 50s.

when does this happen? I tried to bring my Hero over after I rerolled from Mid. Was there for 3 hours and never got a single experience point. Guess this realm doesnt need tanks after all. I tried getting a traditional group but no one wants to group a Hero. Which is odd because it seems like my Warrior on Mid got a group almost as fast as my Healer.

My level 27 Nightshade will group with you.

I think we'll see some more traditional groups if/when the server queue thing gets resolved. Hopefully I'll be 40 or close to it when those traditional players get their leveling groups going and reach 40-ish. That's what I'm betting on, which looks to be a bad bet at this point.

I actually wished more people would level their first character on Uthgard the normal way and enjoy all the content this game has to offer. You can still go to siabra city with your twinks or when you are Lvl 45+ and can either grind finliaths or do siabras.
Normal however seems to be focus pull groups, either pre- or at 50. I didnt really expect that and I hope in the future people will be open to more traditional group setups.

I also noticed a lot of very low level players yelling for group in siabra city, some even send me messages asking for invite. My stance on the matter is, I will help friends I made in this game with whom I repeatedly played normal content and guildmates as soon as I joined a guild. I will however not PL random strangers, that in a lot of cases are too lazy to even level their first character the hard way.

normal grp setups, tank+dps+heal+cc is faster exp than what `people believe...

While I wasnt there I kijda understand where those low levels are coming from. Hibs HATE tanks for some reason. Every stream i watch is all casters. Every message i see in newbie guild chat is "LF more caster dps" So please tell me how to level a Hero or BM if you are forced to solo wearing greens? I agree no one should have to PL random low levels. But at the same time how are we supposed to level up if our LFG spams are ignored? Who am I supposed to group with since i cant fire up 4 accounts and group with myself?

trying to pull ths out on american times, americans just doesnt seem as interested as euros. noone showing up

EDIT : didnt realize it was late on .usa time also, 11 pm. Today i came back after a break and zerg was down to low numbers and lots of afk, thhey were wiping. I tried to regather everyone but ppl just loged out and when i tried to refill with american players noone seemed to show up at 11 pm. so i guess americans should just join the ongoing .eu zerg when they get online, but i guess thats the timeframe where the exp sucks more, when we are over 100+ players in the bg. Anyway anyone can pull this zergs out if hes willin. Cya in cullen folks

The average player today want things quick and easy, it's that whole mentality that has corrupted the MMORPG community over the years, so much that there aren't even enough players who play outside the box anymore. Like how some groups refuse to group certain classes in RvR and even PvE, people tend to forget we're playing a game here, it's not supposed to be a 2nd job.

I whole-heartedly agree that there is no point in rushing to 50 and skipping all the content this game has to offer, especially after all the work the Uthgard Devs have completed on this server these past 3 years. These "elitist" types act as if getting level 50 as fast as possible, will somehow win them the lottery or something, and then they complain about the game being boring and there not being enough RvR...so they proceed to take keeps all day until they no longer even want to play the game they've been waiting for so long.

If you are having trouble finding a group, like one of the posters above who waited 3 hours to find a group, why don't you try making one? It's not that difficult, and the LFG tool makes things even easier in that regard. I was running around doing a quest earlier, and ran into a random player in the area who was doing the same exact quest, so we grouped together to finish the quest and then started up a pretty solid XP group. Where's your sense of adventure people?

P.S. If you have a hard time finding a group and are within my level range, pm me in-game on Hardy, L14 Mentalist.
