Your statement is a bit ambiguous.
I'll assume you mean that you were hoping that you could level the gags (Drop and Lure) faster, once you got to Level 5. Then you found out that you only get three level 5 gags (and it's similar when you reach level 6. You only get three level 6 gags and seven level 5 gags).
One way to build experience quickly find another toon who has similar needs and either camp five-story buildings on Walrus Way and Sleet Street in The Brrrgh, or go run Sellbot Factories. It won't work as well with randoms, as most of those don't want to train gags. Two toons with Level 6 Throw/Squirt, and with Level 4 Toonup and Lure can do either of these without any problems, once they get the hang of it. More than two toons means less experience for each, as the cogs will die faster.
The idea in buildings is to save the gags you're training for the fourth (2.5x experience) and fifth (3x experience) floors and then use as many as you can. If you want to train Lure, remember that you have to hit each cog that's lured before you can get experience for luring it again. You can't just lure a cog, wait for it to unlure, and then get experience for luring it again. It has to take damage between lures (EDIT: This isn't totally accurate, although it does work this way when only battling one cog. See my next post for how lure experience works when facing more than one cog at a time).
In the Factory, you get double experience for all gags throughout the factory, and there doesn't have to be an invasion (there does have to be an invasion for you to get double Merits, though). The added plus to the Factory is that there are 35 cogs to kill, and 31 of them are level 6 and lower, which makes it relatively easy to finish them off. Also, the Factory is always there, whereas you have to find buildings that meet what you need.
