Kire, come to Mardia. It's better. =D
I'm sorry, but the time when people cared about damage to ward off KS'ers is gone. I remember those times, I remember being scared of assassins coming and taking my map and then being jerks about it. It just doesn't happen anymore.
There are so many places to train, you're really only going to have issues if you're on an extremely crowded server (Scania...) and you won't be able to avoid those issues with high gear - people will just stream in and try to take the map so that even if each them leaves quickly there will be so many that it'll still slow you down.
I have a WK friend on Mardia whose equips aren't great - they're not bad, above average, I'd say - and he still gets into all sorts of parties (Zakum, those two stuffed animal bosses that drop the level 80 hats). Why? He has friends. It might be an issue on some other servers, but on Mardia, everyone's accepted. I've already got invites to some "high" level guilds that'll take me on Zakum/Chaos Zakum and HT runs when I'm ready.
The game is so easy if you can just make some friends.

Sure, if you don't get KS'ed. Especially in a crowded server.
I have.
Yes, but if you're a Hero or an NL, for example, and you don't have "decent" damage, they won't take you. Especially with the game as glitchy as it is, adding people to your expedition no longer "can't hurt" - the more people, the more likely others are to lag and d/c.
In case you hadn't noticed, the NX way to godly gear no longer passes through MTS. It goes through cash shop for cubes, vegas, cubes, pam's, cubes, hammers, and some more cubes.
We'll have to wait and see what BB and the m.att revolution will do to mage training and partying.
Good luck and have fun!
