Having missed the initial rush in Pagos (I'll be honest, I wasn't looking forward to giving myself carpal tunnel), I now find myself in a curious situation.

The brunt of players within seem to average between 28 and 35. I've made attempts at finding parties and met with no success, and even after that NM spawn rate buff, the train seems absent. What's a lower level player to do? Sure, I could do my weekly challenge log and bum about inside Anemos, but that seems incredibly slow, bordering on unrealistic, unless of course that really is the only option now.

It just seems odd to me that yoshi and company didn't see this coming. Am I alone in thinking this is absurd? The train wasn't ideal, but something isn't right in Denmark. Being locked out by a lack of available players to group with is... well, I guess you could say it was one of the worst elements of older games. I don't have 5-6 hours at a time to wait on a party like I did when I was a teenager in the late 90's/early 2000's.
