i agree, it must be shock to get to lvl 50.
10-30 - you get beaten by lvl 30-49
30-49 - you beat lvls 10-30
50 - SHOCK , you fight with lvl 50, but they have gear already.
It's truly shocking news that once you get to max lvl, you will be quite undergeared in comparison with people with 30+ hours on lvl 50
