Leveling 1 to 50?

[Jacost]

I'm surprised no one has addressed this. You're seeing level 50 chacters because they didn't wipe your class levels from 1.0 These people haven't done 1-50 since the release, they simply imported their 50s. Don't get me wrong, it may be possible to be there starting from scratch in 2.0 if you have absolutely no life, but if it's even possible by now, it's certainly not the majority of 50s you see. (Not to mention if someone has managed 1-50 since release they wouldn't be in the same area you're in at 27).

1.0 imports are onlly permitted on Legacy servers. Goblin, the one the OP is on, is not one of them. Neither is my own server, Moogle, and there are plenty of 50's running around there.

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of no-lifers have already climbed to 50. Heck, I'm at 40 and I have a semi-life, so it's not even that difficult.
