Is 1-20 Too fast?

[Shaydes]

1-20 is just fine for those people that are just starting. They are getting used to the system and learning the game in general. When the issue comes into play is for those that have ranked up another job to 50 or something close. They understand the leve system and use it to their advantage. Nothing wrong with that.

I would tend to disagree with the assumption that 40 to 50 is slow. Heck, even 30-50 is fine. If you get like minded friends that want to level fast as well. The problem with the ranking system as I see it, is that some people are not using the system to their benefit.

A group of my LS decided to start doing what we call "Sprints". 8 people, utilizing the leves to maximize sp and rank up jobs. 30-40 took 12 days for 2 jobs. This is only ranking during leve cycles with the 8 "best" leves across Uldah and LL. Yes we utilized the fail mechanic. This is not an exploit as deemed by the devs. 40 to 50 took 16 days, again using the same system for ranking. The only difference was at ~R46 we did raptor parties for ~1-2hrs.

So, 30-50 in 28 days and only utilizing the leve system and some grinding for the last ranks. I don't think the system is totally flawed. The only problem is finding those other 7 people that log in on those nights and sit down and have have for a few hrs... like you are supposed to do in a MMO.

TL;DNR: 30-50 ~28 days. TWO JOBS
