Dude. The point of increasing XP requirements is literally to increase the amount of time it takes to complete.

Has it ever fucking occurred to you that delaying the acquisition of rewards is the fucking *point* of it? They don't want you and the other 70% of other "idc about pvp I just want my rewards" players to no-life the grind in an afternoon and then ignore PvP for the next 4 months.

"About 7 hours" is a *pretty fucking good* amount of time to grind through it. Blizzard would make the grind take 7 *weeks.* You don't know how good you got it here.
