Having trouble getting to level 5 surplus or higher

[Req]

It has nothing to do with being elitest at all and not wanting to have a bunch of high level characters to play with when I am a high level. I just believe that there needs to be a more even balance in the number of high level characters in correspondence to low level characters

In essence I agree with this though I despise surplus and don't think its the answer. I got my pug to 50 around the random SP days when it was much harder. Now, it seems almost too easy. Almost. They - in a way - took away what little achievement it meant to get to 50 without replacing it with anything substantial.

Hopefully if (and when) they raise the level cap it will be much harder to get to 75 (or whatever they change it to) to give the level some kind of meaning.
