This game is not about soloing, or about getting in range to shoot targets because you can. The key isn't to lose your shit over it, but instead know your role in that game. It should be noted however, match maker will and should pair you with like level and class, baring exception cases where you are paired with higher tiers. XP progression is what its going to be long term, so anyone you see at tiers V or higher have been grinding hard. Last weekend they account wiped all accounts, so beta and alpha testers got about 6 days jump on open beta testers. There have been a lot of closed beta testers, for months, and alpha testers for nearly a year.
