Stuck on Bane at level 10 where are all the side quests ?

greatskys

I reached level 10 and am trying to do the boss encounter Bane . Tried it several times and can't do it . Looking at advice it says its best to level up to 14 before attempting it . That is fine I am happy to do that but apart from a level 1 quest to explore Metropolis I can't find any other quests I can do apart from a pvp one that I've tried to do buy cant complete because I have to kill 5 heroes and there doesn't seem to be anyone playing . OK I decide to do alerts but no ones doing them so I seem to be running around all over the maps with nothing to do and no way to level . 

On top of that when I type something in the looking for a group channel it doesn't see to work no writing comes up and I cant see anyone speaking in any of the chat channels . 

Would be greatful for some advice .

lv 10 - 14 are a bit odd, you might have to do some mob grinding or if you started in metropolis go to gotham, or the otherway around, there should be at least one questline in the other city, do some solo instance on duty missions. if you have not got any of those yet, mobgrind is your only option.
