Games are for fun. If you think people have to "work hard" to "earn" the right to have fun in a game, you really need to look at your reasons for playing. Getting everything maxed out so early with all the obstacles the game threw at you doesn't strike me as an achievement, but more an obsessive playstyle. That's your choice, but don't expect every player to share the same priorities.
That's like saying:
"I want to go to a concert... But I don't feel like driving there...
I know... I'll call a cab... but yea... i don't feel like calling one or even walking outside to get in it...
So I'll just sit here and text my friends until one of them agrees to come to my house... put me on their back and carry me to the concert"
Come on.. its not even about power leveling anymore...
He is asking people to tell him where to power level... you have to see the ridiculousness in that
At least figure out what place is best for PL....
You might as well give your account info to one of those sites that charges for leveling your character...
A video game shouldn't be a job... but some things are worth working towards

It was like Navy seals, wrapped in Jedi, sprinkled with Sephiroth's ashes...

but..

It took 6 months of leveling 6-8 hours a day to even get to do this fight....

People might complain about the amount of time needed... but they'd do it.. damn it even the most casual players would be out grinding their hearts out...
tl;dr if its really worth something to you, you'll put in the work
