It's almost impossible to level a new character now. What gives, SE?

I like this pace. It's should be like this. Pre1.19 was way too fast.
Anyway,I create new char and my friend help PL me with his con.
I was skyrocket from 13 to 20 in about 2 hours.( I soloed from 10-13 in 2 hour too lol )

I think yoshi p made this on purpose ( as he mentioned earlier )

I sense a little conflict here; You like the current pace so much that you needed your friend to power level your character? And pre 1.19 was too fast even though it probably wasn't as fast as your friend power leveling you post 1.19.. umm so fast leveling through power leveling is okay, but fast solo leveling is not? I find this a bit odd.
