It actually didn't. Sorry but that is a sad excuse used by so many who didn't want to put in any effort. I made a ls for new players when I joined and couldn't find people to play with, grew the ls fairly large and quickly as others were in the same boat, leveled up, figured things out, made our way through content, farmed NMs for gear and spells and misc drops and made some crazy awesome friends. Ended up being a successful endgame ls once we all leveled and played with the same group of ppl for 7+ years making relics, mythics and doing all sorts of content.

It was a game that you had to put at least a little bit of effort into and not rely solely on established players.

Rule #1 of success in mmos: You get what you put in, never rely on vets or expect hand outs, gumption is everything.
