So... I took a fresh alt character to EW in under 4 days worth of time

I'm impressed. I would have thought it would take longer. I wonder if people are gonna start speed run records.

This kind of reminds me of the people who made challenges for themselves on WoW. One guy maxed leveled without leaving the starting area and another guy max leveled as a pacifist.

Are you sure you're impressed? I'm not saying sitting thru all the cutscenes is high art, but omg no one should care at all about this. Like, seriouslyl

If you don't care then why did you post? Like seriouslyl

Hmm I guess it is possible, but during my levelling with alts I also try to get the Aether Currents - it will make the post patch travelling easier - and I guess if you don't use a class like tank or healer, this takes a lot longer.

I guess it is possible to do in less than a week...but then you need to have a lot of patience because it's still over 700 quests (over 800 if you count EW and its current post patch content) and I don't know if a new player can do that many quests in a single sitting. I certainly can't: not even in WoW or SWTOR I did this many quests.

Aether currents are a waste of time if you're speed running it. There's only one location you return to enough times for it to be worth it, and I'm sure you could route the side quests in for it, but I didn't bother to consider it.
