I have many issues with Eureka, but the whole lowbie/newbie is definitely not one of them. The whole argument of "SE should do something because ..." is an age old argument that goes no where. Some of you are talking like this is the first or only time this is an issue:
- Primal Farm Party cut out newbies.
- Savage Clear Party cut out newbies.
- High DPS Party leave out newbies.
- Early adopting crafters trying to corner the Market.
And many many many more, this is not something unique to Eureka, or something even unique to this game. Want to group with people of the same level as you are, be it style/skill/progress have always been a thing in EVERY MMO since the very first MMO came out. However for what it's worth, my main is at lvl19 and I just started 'casually' lvling my alt in Eureka, I just hit lvl6 tonight. And you know what, I have never have trouble find party. I was in a group that was killing Cyclop, Pale Rider ...etc... today and get gold on them.
Am I progressing as fast as my main on the first week? No. But I'm also admitting the fact my alt missed the original rush fervor and I'm ok with that. It takes "a bit" more afford, it progresses "a little" slower. But reading some of the complains here you would think people claiming it's impossible to progress as a lowbie now, which is not true. Tbh, this is the same as the usual cry you hear about content clears. I have always been playing casually, sometime I clear very early in the content circle, sometime I lag behind and had to try to get a late clear. While the latter is always slower than the former, but you know ... it was never impossible, that's why the "OMG everyone moved ahead and no one wanted to help me now, this is bad design!!!" cry never did sit well with me. Help yourself, the content is only around 2 weeks old, progressing through it is still completely viable with just a "tiny little bit extra" afford on your part. Don't be that guy crying in chat about "OMG EVERYONE ON A MOUNT AND LEAVING ME BEHIND QQ!!".
