These guys just want to level so they can do endgame stuff. They have their Linkshells and their friends, they don't need to be friends with me at all. I'm there to be their tank, and once the party disbands, I won't talk to them again, or something to that extent.
See where I'm getting at? In the current state, anyone who would want to start playing would feel less excited about the game since it would be 1 newbie in 10 000 endgamers. For someone who isn't familiar with the game will easily find him or herself killed by mobs, who will realize the tediousness of constant Healing and the loneliness that comes with 1-10. Sure, at first there's a level of excitement but the place is overwhelming and there's no actual guiding of the place. There is a reason why many players stop playing before their free 30 days are over, y'know.

Buy the strategy guide it helps a lot, thats why I knew about skill chains and the like.
Also you never NEED to make friends, its like in real life you have to try and make friends. You can party bounce thats what I did for the most part, or you can static with friends. As for mobs avoid Beastmen as a general rule they are generally the highest level creatures in an area and they tend to aggro.
Very few games get exciting right at the start, so Its just like any game in my opinion. You just have to make the best of the first few steps.
There is also a reason there are so many people at max level and still play as well.
Now go find him!
