Content lock out system hinders returning players.

If by new you mean, 5-6 month old content....

You have like half a year in between tiers to do content and get gear.

If you can't bother to do that your prob need a game with a cash shop.

Wow you're a really caustic poisonous person aren't you. You have no idea how long I have been attempting to catch up (2 and a half months thank you) since I returned to the game after turning it off because college studies were more important.

I have a legitimate gripe after trying for a long while and realizing that this games community doesn't care to help catch people up. You basically act like I just started the game yesterday and want to be at the top of the mountain today. That's not the case.

I posted this in the Leviathan world forums earlier this morning.

The reply I recieved is exactly my problem with this community. No one cares and no one wants to help. That's why having a lock out is stupid. Its miserable for new and returning players who want their shot at high end content, but have to scrounge and beg like biblical lepers to get help.

Yawn.
As someone who has worked a full time job, a full time graduate student, and a part time husband (all at the same time), I have managed to clear all the content in the game, I have zero sympathies for your time management issues/learning disability.

If you can't find a group of people you can get along with that can help you catch up, your the problem. It is that simple.

That said.
To catch up all you need to do is farm hunts / run roulette's / run ST until your full 110. You don't even need a group.

I would wait until peak time (6pm EST) and try a party finder learning/kill group. Make sure you advertise in Mor Dhona via shout to get some attention. I see people shouting all the time to try to bring people in the PF, there is nothing wrong with shouting that you have a PF up.

And honestly, I would help you with my semi-formed static, but we have 2 healers and neither of them can dps.

meh I dont think that someone who left the game 6 mos ago should be able to catch up in a matter of days.. or even sometimes a few weeks..getting to i90 is so easy now and both ex levi and ex thornmarch are tuned to average i80 or so

This will catch you up on gear, but not content.
