There's a lot of leveling guilds out there. Look at the guild sub forum. Once you get past ten it should be a little easier finding groups.

Mountain time zone should be fine. That's when I play and plenty of people out there. I'll look you up in game. Definitely can get you some help, probably a a decent weapon that should help you get higher and some plat if you'd like. Plus some ranja buffs!

Where are you leveling up at? Some areas can definitely be more quiet and harder to find groups at
