How hard would it be?

They have made the game fairly easy for the low levels. You should not have any problem grinding your way up to around 40-45 solo. I did on my cleric, back before they changed they quests and made everything so much easier.

However, the thing to realize here is that this game is filled with a bunch of idiots. You are going to have to learn to ignore the idiots when they scream at you. A lot of people seem to think that clerics are only there to be their slave. But, you will find some that cherish you. Keep those on your friends list.

Try working your quest first, then help the party get theirs. Don't leave after your quest is up, otherwise you are the same as them.

You may kill slower soloing, but you have an advantage over the rest of the classes, because you van heal thine-self.

as far as KQs go, do not stay out of them, because the lower level KQs give you decent experience and help you level. Just heal your party and remember that you are only 1 person and you can only do so much. If they do not feel like you are good enough for them, chances are, they are not good enough for you. Just keep healing/reviving your party and if you get to the others that ignorantly got themselves killed, then yay, if not, oh well, they should have been in your party.
