No one said it would be instant it wasn't instant for the people doing the big time runs now was it how the hell do you think they met up and started doing stuff? Though I can't really say that's the fault of the players that's more game design then anything. The only kind of interaction players have with each other is to say "cc plz".
5 years ago we didn't have the situation we do now, so you've had a five year advantage on finding and building a network of people that anyone entering the game today does not have.
You're trying to compare how you got to where you are to what people have today as if they're even remotely similar circumstances. You may as well be bragging about how wonderful it was when you lived in your house and how nicely laid out and easy it was to get around and find everything to someone who moved in the week it burned down and try telling them the house is still great, it's clearly just their problem because it was never a problem when you lived there.
Yes the game may be easy for you to navigate around in because as you said, you've had five years to build up your support network and figure out people. New people, by nature of the concept of being new, do not magically already have several years worth of acquaintances to draw upon. Considering the current environment, in which you can not throw a tuna without hitting a hacker, duper, scammer, spammer, farmer or idiot, them miraculously avoiding all of those and only finding the super secret wonderful people who by your own advice are effectively hiding seems rather miniscule don't you think?
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
