Soon 50s will be in their own bracket once 1.1 goes live so you won't face premade, geared pvp games until you're at level cap. I pvp solo with a few games a day, usually loosing and often it's to premades, but I'm ok with that because somebody who is working to get pvp gear and works as a team should be able to beat me with my pve gear solo. When I finally reach 50 (I'm at 45 atm) I'll work to get a pve and pvp set of gear like all MMOs have you do to truly compete.
FYI: I'm 20 and pay for my computer, internet, and gametime as do many people here
