Possible level/story jumps....really?

[Naunet]

They could lower the exp curve as well, like wow did.

That wouldn't help things. The problem here isn't the levels - it's the slog through the story quest that's required to do ANYTHING in the game. The only thing selling level potions or modifying the experience curve would do is make it so I'm level 60 working through ARR story instead of level 54.
