I decided to give Pagos a second chance. Finished my challenge log, got from level 22 to level 26... and now I'm just stuck. No more log exp. I tried to join the train, but I'm too fragile to go to most of the places the train goes because of the level. I can't even unlock the aetherytes up there. Chaining solo doesn't feel viable.

This is beyond frustrating. I can only imagine this place as a ghosttown once all the 35s leave for Pyros. SE is going to have to do something because I think Pagos is going to be a wall that prevents most people from passing.
