Why so much relying on high lvls?

I think it's pretty normal and it always was that FB 19 is being done with help of some high level dude. But why the hell when I LF people for FB 29 I only get messages from 80s, 90s and when I say I'm looking for ~30 people, they laugh? Come on, do people really do their FBs only with high level people and not in traditional Barb + Cleric + 4 DDs? b:surrender

    no, it was not always normal that FBs are done with high-level help. 19 can be done with a squad of nobody much higher than 30 or so; some folks still play who got theirs done that way, back when there were no much higher-level players than that. it annoys me that nobody seems to want to run such FBs at-level any longer; i'd love to be part of such a squad.

    ...why, you ask? because everybody's gone too lazy to spend an hour or two just playing the game in those low-level dungeons. they want their FBs done in ten minutes flat with no risk. i don't really understand that mindset, me.

    Back then it was not entirely uncommon for the first couple to be run with the help of a higher level...But it was run normally much more often than they are today.

    I've not found a FB that can't be done by an at level squad - but good luck finding 5 other lvl 19 characters willing to take the time to actually fo a fb19.

    People are lazy.

    T_T *sighs* Back when I started playing, lvl95+ people were so rare, and there were always so many people around your lvl. Higher lvls would hang out around the FB spots to help out lowbies that were having trouble.

    Now that I've restarted, after flying around Plume for half an hour, I finally just went to West Archo to ask for my fb19. For some people, its laziness. For others, there's just no one else around your lvl when you want to go. <_< I'll be asking for my fbs around head hunter for a while, I guess.

    I think that this totally depends on which server you are on.

    For example: I imagine bamboo village on Lost City to be a ghost town. But I expect something different from Dreamweaver... (Dreamweaver has some romance in its name, which I imagine would attract new players.)

    I'll do your low FBs for you if you want :o
    We are on the same server am I right?

    But on topic, I have been rejected from low FBs (fb39,51,59) in my 90s and high 80s.
    Once, 6 times within 2 days. I Pm'd them like lightning for a spot but got no response D:

    Either there were a bunch of really bored 10xs who PM'd lightning fast, or a 90 archer wasn't good enough x.x

    Recently, for fun a group of friends and I tried doing an fb19 with all level 19 chars, we got lazy and brought in some of our mains >.>

    Well another point is most likely that a lot of people from around lvl 30 won't even bother pm'ing because they know a lot of lvl 80's and 90's will be right on it.
    I personally love helping out with fb's on my veno and nowadays too on my seeker for the fun/exp/reputation you get from it. b:surrender
    And yeh.. I don't look for a squad of my own lvl for fb's. Actually I don't look for a squad at all but ask some friends to come along...
    Overkill on my fb59... lvl 100 sin and veno, lvl 90 veno, lvl 80 mystic and lil me... b:chuckle

    Yeah it's hard to get people for lower FBs. I remember doing mine at level 26 or something after trying 5 times (and failing) since level 20. I tried it solo, every level right after leveling up, with my trusted wolf from the pet quest. Needless to say it was an absolute disaster.

    From 39 onwards, I just join some BH squad telling the leader that I have tabs if the squad is okay with it. So far unless they're tank or cleric short, I get my FBs done.

    Before the Tideborn expansion come out, there we many Fbs with low lvs and the game was fun. Now the game is barely alive with any new players but mostly cashers and noobs no offence but it just kills the game.....

    before my post here is my definition of ''noob'' to this topic:

    ppl who need high lvls to do easiest stuff are noobs without any talent in team play and this results in making high lvl noobs

    answer:
    they rely on high lvls because they are noobs

    b:sad no one wants to play the game anymore.. they all want plvling, faster FCC possible, high lvls running through BH's
    I dont see the point either.. where is the fun in a run where you dont get to do anything cause it goes too fast?

    I can barely understand why anyone bothers to play this game anymore. 90% or more of the people I come in contact with only want to play through at the fastest speed possible. I geuss nobody has the time to actually play anymore.
    It is not just fbs,bhs I see it in fc too. Heck these days people would rather just buy it or so wc implies. I have the money to buy anything in the game I desire besides a warsoul weapon, but without anything in game that isnt buyable with real money im not sure why I should buy anything at all....and lets not tell lies-I have spent atleast 3-4 thousand dollars in pursuit of being good enough for squads only to find I really dont need them anymore.
    Game is for sure not as fun as it use to be when squads were more evenly geared an actually took thier time to work as a team. This isn't an offline ps3/xbox game.
