in the end, as ive stated over and over, whats going to happen is they will put a steep curve on everything when the cap raises hit, and leveling to 50 may be easy, but what happens when 51 takes 200k exp, or 52 takes 250k and so on....
that is basicaly what people are inviting by wanting more exp gains that much quicker

MMOs are not about being capped level asap with little to no work in a weeks time, they are about the path to get there too. in a good mmo, id say a casual player, who plays an hour a day maybe, should cap out in 3 months.
a hardcore player on the other hand, who plays 8+ hours a day should still take a few weeks to do so.

for those who want to know the math on that with 25k per hour, its a bit under 80 hours to cap out a job, thats a reasonable investment by any account for an mmo(most take MUCH MUCH more)


now, as the game evolves, and the caps get raised, yes, the exp to reach those lower levels can be eased up on a bit, look at how they did it in 11(with the original exp requirements at lower levels).

They ended up turning the lower to mid levels into needing LESS exp to level, but raised the higher end stuff.

so 2mil exp to 75?(i know this isnt the number but an example) stayed 2mil to 75, while the 1-50 may have gone from 1mil tro 500k and the 51-75 went from 1mil to 1.5mil needed

the pacing needs to be there, as the game gets older the lower levels should become easier to traverse, but it should never be that easy to just get to capped level right from the start
yes.. even now.. if 51 starts at 110,000...
59-60 could easily be 200k...
