Long story short:

I made a new character on an EU server and recently unlocked Eureka Anemos, but when I looked around, everyone I saw was at least level 15 and me trying to look for a group at level 1-2 for about an hour yielded no results.

Being a year behind when it comes to Eureka, how am I supposed to deal with this? Is there some trick to catching up or should I just give up on Eureka entirely?
