I think the best thing to do is get opinions and advice then figure out how you like to level on your own, you may find others that share that opinion, as long as you find ways to have fun do it your own way

you will always find people who don't think you are playing right, but it is you who pays to play it, it should be you who decides how you want to play it as long as you don't break any of the ToS nobody is gonna stop you
