4 guildleves in less than 1 hour=1/3rd of the way from 49-50?

[Capita]

So I got some guildleves to test them out after the patch. 2 in Halatali, and 2 in Broken Water. I equip 2 skills, a basic attack and an aoe. I proceed to do them all on 3 stars with guardian's aspect, and get 35k xp in less than an hour.

That is more xp than most get in even a very good XP party, and all I had to do was use 2 skills. It posed no challenge at all, and when I tried 4 stars on the 5th I found I got less XP because of how the system rewards speed (seems imbalanced with difficulty settings). I know that XP chains will help balance this, but come on why so heavily encourage everyone regardless of whether they like to(or have to) play solo to do this?

You seem to fail at math. Or you're just so shortsighted that you don't even realize what you're saying. You do realize you can only do one set of leves every 36 hours, right?

Let's say you get 40k EXP out of a set of leves within one hour.

That's an IMMEDIATE 40k/hr of EXP, while grind parties can maybe get 30k/hr. Looking at it that way, it seems like leves are overshadowing EXP/hr by a large margin, which is what you seem to be whining about.

But you're overlooking the fact that you can only do one set of leves every 36 hours. So that changes the EFFECTIVE EXP/hr. The actual effective EXP/hr of one set of leves is 40,000/36, which equals about 1110 EXP/hr.

Add the fact that hardcore players can do leves every reset too, and the amount of EXP/hr for a casual is nothing in comparison.

The system is fine. You just need to get out more.

Just caught this thread. Read the OP, skipped to the end, then was getting ready to post as I was reading down the line of posts. Stopped at this one. No need to replay after this.
