Is it possible to play end-game content as a new player?
So I've been playing for about a month now, have a level 25 necromancer. It's been great fun thus far, but I feel so far behind and I also feel an immense pressure to level quickly. This hasn't been put on me by other players, rather, I feel that if I don't level quickly enough and get enough plat to purchase a pre-nerf CoS, I'm going to always be behind on content.
However, it also feels like good camps are always occupied by twinked characters. I've tried to get treants in SK for a couple days now and there's always a character with far better gear than me camping the area. I logged on at 8:30am central time on a Tuesday and it was still taken. I won't ever be able to hold a camp down as well as a person with much better gear than myself but I also won't be able to get gear if I can't get on a good camp to grind out plat.
Even if I were to get enough plat for decent gear and level up to 60, what chance do I have of ever being able to touch endgame content when there are multiple guilds full of geared out players who have been on the server for three years already? Overall, it feels like there's not much of a point to
Now I prepare myself for the inevitable posts flaming me for whining and telling me to join red. I know that some of my impressions are a tad irrational, I'm mostly just putting them out there to get feedback rather than trying to complain. I get that I should play the game to have fun and not to get the best gear, but I also feel like the game isn't as enjoyable when it seems like there's a ceiling on how far I can progress.
