Not quite. I've tried to party up. Sadly, most of the parties I find are overleveled compared to me. I don't get mob exp when I'm with those groups - and they're the only ones I can find to take me. I spend most of my time with them trying to avoid the level 17 to 20+ mobs where they want to fight, which is usually NM trains. The experience is horrific - everyone has a mount, or most everyone, while I run behind and pray I don't get in view of a monster that turns around. Whenever I shout for lower leveled parties, I'm met with silence. So my options are pretty limited. I've even tried starting parties within a few levels of myself - not many people tend to join them then bail quickly. So my choices are: stay with a group where I can get exp but risk death and being left behind, soul-sucking solo play, or just not doing it at all.
