That's true, starting the game at level 1 and finding out you have 60 levels and two rounds of the game to play through before you can be online with the "serious players" (here meaning people who have spent forever farming for perfect guns) and/or keep whatever guns you find (up until that point, you'll keep outgrowing your guns). If the next DLC raises the level cap again (if I recall properly, the maximum in BL's code is 75, and DLC4 is supposed to be the last DLC), then it'll be even more daunting of a task to go from a newcomer to someone who crushes Crawmerax 'neath their mighty foot.
