I've read various claims such as "you can easily get to level 50 in a week playing casually" and "you can go 1 - 20 in a DoH class in about 2 hours," but my experience has been vastly different. I've only managed to reach 22 GLA/16 ARM/9 BSM in about ten days. For the first five or so days I throttled my leveling a bit, because I was under the trial and knew I would be capped, but I definitely would not be 50 regardless of what I did.

Today I spent almost three hours just going from 10 - 16 ARM.

Am I doing something wrong, or are these claims unrealistic? I don't expect to be leveling at peak efficiency in a new game (less knowledge, fewer resource, etc.), but according to those, I'm off by a larger amount than I would consider acceptable.

Thanks.
