New players are going to feel held back when they are hitting levels 53 to 54 and still on level 50 content. That is the problem.
    I respectfully and firmly disagree. I remember when I was leveling up my first 50, the biggest annoyance I had was not leveling up fast enough to keep up with the story. When I'm engrossed in story and have to stop and go do some grinding for a while just so I can keep up with it is a little disappointing. I'd rather be a few levels ahead than behind.

    This is where I'm at too. Right now at level 42 or so, I need 360k xp to level and you get at best 4-5 story quests that are worth 11k each. Plus story mode can have some very sluggish feeling quests and the amount of backtracking is crazy.

    If you haven't done any Guildhests yet I would suggest doing some of those, que times usually aren't quite as long as dungeon trials and you'll need to have up to the lvl 30 ones unlocked for the main story a little ways into the post 2.0 part. Fates as well can help out, leves, more so if you have your challenge log. Guildhests give 5% and 10% each for completing the challenges, and fates and leves give a straight 15% on each one.

    Also Leves won't interrupt the queue. At most, you'll only lose 1 allowance if the dungeon pops. So you can pretty much spam them as you wait for it. In addition, complete your hunting log.

    Do a daily low level roulette to help with the xp. You get a decent amount for completing this once a day. That will help alot with your xp grind. Also don't forget your hunting log. I levelled up pretty quick using those.

    You might have access to the daily beastmen quests for EXP.
