Just reached Seventh Level in Dark Sector. Even though the story lacks punch and x factor... Glaive+minnions+bosses are simply fantastic.
Can any one tell, how many levels are there in dark sector?
I thinks its 10, not sure though, keep playing. I just got bored @ chapter 7 (just before engaging the boss called shift- didn't finish the fight) and left for borderlands.

Hate to say it but i also did the same thing that your random buddy did, i was at level 7 and the guys i was playing with were like 20-26-36. So there was nothing i could do to help them, i needed xp points like you badly to continue my single player campaign. You get xp just for walking with them, omg. And i level up nicely and continued my single player, until i needed xp again and applied the same procedure. If you were in my boots you would have done the same.
Yeah, the beginning of borderlands is a bit frustrating for newcomers, i died about 3 times to beat Bone Head during my first time, but after I restarted the campaign I finished it without taking much damage, all you need to know are the mechanics properly.
Basic Rule of Thumb in Borderlands- before engaging any mission look at the mission level in the ECHO device.
1.If mission level lower than your level, go for it.
2.Mission Level same as your level, get some good guns and ammunitions and health kit.
3.Mission level 1/2 higher, go for it but must have some good guns(really really good).
4.Mission level more than 2 levels higher than your's, you're dead if you engage it.
In borderlands how much damage is dealt is completely dependent on your level vs the enemies' level, if it takes 10 shots from a specific weapon to kill an enemy at a specific level(say 10), then @ level 20 it should take 2-3 shots max.
What you did is understandable, you got money for doing so and also some of the XP but can you imagine what it feels when some ungrateful idiot follows you around, gain XP and money and also any special mission bonus but then this guy also followed me everywhere and while I was busy killing the enemies he stole all the weapons from the crates, even weapons that due to level requirements he can't us but I can, he sold them to make money(he was at level 12 and had 80k money- not possible in single player).
There was one mission where I killed a boss and he stole a good shield(apparently he read the walkthrough or something) and even though he can't use it for another 8-10 levels, he sold it, I got pi$$ed off and closed the game.
Now I play with an old school mate of mine, we are good friends so we co-operated very well, we never sold any stuff without the other's consent, distributing the loot(he played as siren, so most smgs and elemental weapons are used by him, while I as soldier aim for snipers and shotguns) if there are any unique weapons from any boss, we do the mission twice to get two sets of the same weapons.
Borderlands isn't a game to be played with strangers.
