    I can't remember the floor range for hoh but I know it is usually the later floors you can spam, and I think they just spam the first 10 of those teirs of floors if that makes sense. So for potd it is floor 50-60 they usually spam those over and over, I think for hoh it is floors 21-30. I have never queued for hoh or potd with a group, so I can only assume many just go in solo without a group to level or find a group even if it is two other people which I have done as well. I know finding a group randomly queueing up can be hard if you are not starting on the first floors at least for potd or floor 50 because many people with just queue at the start to the end, but it also depends on how many people are running those.

    You may have luck at a random time because I know potd and hoh have waves of people that will get the urge to run them because I'll see a sea of people outside of the entrance advertising or asking to party up.

    If you don't mind social interaction you can find me in game at some point I know people who like running this as well as myself, it could be at random times they are available one from brazil, actually many from brazil, so 3 hour time zone difference from the states, but many are always up for a good hoh run. You could also try to set up a party finder as well if you are waiting too long to see if people will join and you can just have a group for a bunch of floors, just ask

    Booming, but as always MMO players are efficient. 21-30 is what people repeat to level and all other floors only need to be done once. It's very old content and a lot of people already did the other floors, so it's going to take that amount of time for them.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    HoH has entire floor sweeps, higher overall dps and other quality of life adjustments how is it a bigger timesink?

    OP's obvious snark aside, if you want to engage in a method to level quickly, do research on how it works before complaining about it. Current information if possible.

    A quick net search or just asking people in the area would have revealed that the leveling happens in the 21-30 floor, and that you need to clear through 30 first. Grab 3 friends and do it in an afternoon, then you're set forever.

    In addition, since we are YEARS past HoH's release, most people are all set for leveling and only engage in those floors.... moreover, there are other ways to level than HoH that have been released, such as Bozja.

    This is like complaining why Northern Thanalan Fates aren't hopping in 2022 when reading info from like, 2014.

    PF people :P

    Idk I've spent more time in HoH than PotD, so maybe timesink isn't the right word lol but I've just invested more into it I guess

    HoH is really the only option for 60-61 if you want to do solo leveling and not use the DF. At this point, you can use the Duty Support function to level through all the HW content, but they have not added the dungeons yet for Storm Blood. HoH can be soloed and then spammed. Once your weapon and armor is pretty high, it is maybe like 15 minutes or so to blow through the levels with a tank, a little bit more if doing it as a healer and you can do it quickly if DPS and are careful.

    Once you hit 71 though, you will then switch to Bozja until 81ish... then i switch to duty support, fates and more Bozja. The Leveling and MSQ Roulettes along with the End Walker tribes also provide a ton of EXP daily. took only a few days a couple hours per day leveling an alt job to get from 81 to 90.

    I am finding the worst of the grind to be 61-70

    It's not booming. This is the lowest pop we've had in 2 years, and it'll keep getting lower for December until we get content again in January. That and we started stretching out to the new datacenters, so it's pretty rough right now.

    The content they pushed out for 6.2# just wasn't good enough and lacks replayability. That combined with WoW having a big launch, including the pre-launch events.

    I've never seen any kind of decent xp out of there and the thought of repeating the floors is boring. You would do better to just queue regular dungeons, especially if you're going to end up waiting for the queue to pop.

    Unless you're running with a premade, dungeon queuing is significantly slower for a dps than deep dungeons and even then the exp per hour in deep dungeons is still more than regular dungeons, especially after they removed exp from the trash mobs.

    They don't give out numbers officially and the only "numbers" we do have shows your statement to be false. By all means though, keep talking out of your arse.
