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

I'd take this thread more seriously if you weren't a brony.
In any case, the issue with this goes all the way back to Parties and how hard it is to start one.
Just get a friend to power level you, or something, isn't friendship magic?

I could, but then that's a bull-s*** solution for a bull-s*** problem. Why would anyone have to rely on high level players to get through the low levels? What about people that DON'T have high level friends? Why is it so difficult to start parties at the lower levels (hint: lack of fun and/or party content)?
