Before you power level noobs

[BruceyBruceyBangBang]

It's very simple. Good players will be good players no matter how they are leveled up. One of our new-ish healers joined and was PLed by his brother. Pushed him right into events and played just fine. If you have a natural affinity with games then you're going to be fine.

I also know a player who leveled all classes with me before XP was changed and before PL was introduced and is just not that great and doesn't follow direction and doesn't anticipate incoming threats. For instance, some mages cure before a target is about to be hurt and other mages cure only when the party member is hurt. This is something that one can adapt to, but if you are just naturally good at playing MMOs you're going to be the one who anticipates the DMG and cures.

This isn't taught through grinding. This is just how a good player reacts to situations. If you've got it, you've got it. If you don't, powerleveling or grinding legitimately is not going to teach you that. Some players are just simply bad no matter how hard they try.
