There is hope yet....

I just went through Forest Haven with a full party of 10-13s all doing their share to kill, move, and keep up with everyone. It was a great run. They were all playing so well together, that I wondered how many were alts.

Aw this is the nicest story i have read today. Good on you

I very rarely boot any lvl the rule is fight or leave and the spark that comes out of low lvls is insperational and funny. Respect for the fighter not the begger and youll get what u work for thats for sure

Well homie, I feel your pain...but there are some killer bears out there, and several of them are on here, like Elly, MrWallace, JayTb (aka IKungFuPanda)...and I have been told I don't suck on my dual/spec bear, so if you ever need one for PvE, hit me up.

Aww thanks bro always enjoy playing with you too

As for your experience with the new players, I had a similar one yesterday when doing cyberquests with my gf. A lv 30'ish bear and bird joined. We didn't even need to say anything. The stayed close, the bear was like a mini supertank and the bird was using the right skill order to maximize dmg. We even invited them to join us in our next run. It does make one happy to see low levels actually knowing how to play between all the begging for gold and power leveling.

Anyway, great story

There's definitely legit players out there at the lower levels.

You won't often see them in FH or DF. But by the time you get to LE, you'll see who the players are who are actually trying to learn the ins and outs of their class vs just taking a back seat and trying to level.

Sorry for the necropost, but...

a) I finally got around to registering

d) wanted to say thanks for the shout out, Moogfoog

Oh, and I try to always ask when joining... don't want to take anyone's spot and split up a good group, even if it is public/spawn.

Since I started a bird (damademuerte), my mage (Ilira) is wallowing at lvl 58... but low lvls can be a ton of fun, especially if you find the right peeps.

We all start somewhere. Good lookin out!

Almost unanimously as a whole, the PL community is stereotyped that if you don't have all pinks equipped and if you are under level 50 and if you are not a twink, then you are noobish. Ha, we all got proved wrong!

I think there're great players, and yes, some are new but all are trying to play, in the game.

It's why I don't like running my high levels through the lower levels. It just feels so overpowering of the other players.

I like to run levels closer to the level of the campaign and it's usually a pleasure to jump into PUGs. I've recently been in PUGs in FH, DF and AO1 and they were all great games. I usually try to finish a level before I decide whether people are good or bad. Most of the time, they're fun and we just continue onto the next level of the campaign.

That was an awesome story, moog! I'm glad to hear that there are still skilled players out thar.

+1 to the entire thread

Short story: went back to sewers and nuri in the last few days to help out a friend i am monitoring (/helping with decent gear) since he's reached 25 or something. I ended up (with my 66 mage) in some pretty serious games with skilled 'lower' level players and was equally impressed by some of the bears. In symphony, i was even the one to die first (then again i was tanking but well...i am 66! ), but the other 53 or 54 mage stood his ground!

Thumbs up all around.

Moogerfooger has since left the forums.

Either way it should be noted that he posted this when he saw good low level players playing better than most pugs in the sewers do.
