I'm OK with people having 70's carry them through if they wish to skip it. But is it really necessary to hog whole maps mobs whilst doing so? I had parked myself in nice, quiet spot where I saw nobody else killing mobs for EXP.

Then all of sudden these 2 different Blue Mages with their personal EXP-slaves arrived and killed everything on map, including those couple mobs that I had been killing over and over, lovely breaking my EXP chain every time.
