Roll a new character (they are free). Roll as a Gladiator. Level to 15 with no help from anyone, no gear from your main, just like a new player. No PL.

If you do it just as a brand new player that doesn't know anyone in the fairly quiet world, go grind mobs solo or even do leves. No mount, no cash, lvl 1 gear with many empty slots. Then come back and tell me it is too easy.
