That's absurd, you do not have any pressure at ALL to level... You put that on yourself. I find the the best way to truly enjoy this game is level at your own speed, and join a guild when you get to higher levels. Hardcore end game levelling guilds are always a fast track to destroying all the fun mmo's have to offer. "Lets all race through the content so we can impress each other with numbers, screw the fun and immersion"
Chill out. The game is new. Oh you used the word noob... This post will be wasted on you...
