It's almost impossible to level a new character now. What gives, SE?

In these types of games, I'm used to people being either self-serving, overbearing assholes, or creepy nerds who seem unaware that nobody else cares about their collection of lolicon fanart, so you can imagine my reluctance to voluntarily subject myself to such horrors.

While I can't argue against this being valid for a shitload of gamers(and probably denizens of the internet as well), don't be so myopic. Try rolling with different crowds.
