Quite frankly, I need help with privateering quests.

One thing I have noticed is that low level players seem to naturally be attracted to players at a much higher level. And, they quickly adopt a certain level of disdain for anyone lower than themselves.

I was lucky, I found a few other players who were at the same level as myself - or within a level or two. We were usually on the same quest path - with some overlapping.

And, other players at the same (or near) level should have roughly the same strengths and deficiencies as your character.

So, look for someone at the same point and help each other out. You'd be amazed how much more fun this game is when you have a group of friends you play with on a regular basis.

And, don't be afraid to break the ice - initiate a conversation or three and see where it gets you!
