It is sad to see high level noobs nowadays. Part of that is probably related to lower level get too much help now, and "I just want exp fast" mentallity.
Any other factor is the real money trade of characters. Corrderio has said something like this in KI forums, and I will agree with him. I stand firmly against the selling/buying of characters. To the people who actually sell their characters, have some ego and pride of what you do for leisure. Sometimes people say they need money fast, I doubt the money you sell your character is going to help a lot in RL (considering the cost of living in US) -- if you sell your character for like 100-300 bucks... I am sure that is not even enough for a month rent or fixing your car's transmission.
I get better enjoyment on my trip to 75 instead of reaching 75 in a split second (or even cheat to buy a high level character). I actually find more fun leveling low level jobs instead of my level 70s or doing merit points.
Work hard, play hard. And have some pride what you work or play, and try to be good what you play too.
