So, I played some in Beta and was ready to charge into the game at launch, level up somewhat quickly, and learn the end game content while everyone else was still feeling their way through it as well. Sadly though, REAL LIFE HAPPENED (!!) and I'm way behind the herd. I'm only 47 and I dont get to play nearly as much as I'd like.

It seems like most people have the level 50+ stuff down to a science and all I ever hear are groups wanting people to be geared and know the fights. I guess what I'm wondering is if there's still a place in end game for new players and if you more experienced folks have any advice on how to prepare myself for it.
