Low level PvE is dead since there's no lockeds to farm, no gear to farm, no good jewels to farm, and no monsters/bosses that drop enough gold for gold loot.

Low level PvP is dead since everyone is spread out over 71 levels and fights are endless thanks to awakenings not scaling as a % of base armor.

So yea, pretty hard for low level players to stay in a game without PvE or PvP.
