Stop the Grind-to-the-Endgame madness!

[Skies]

Unless your going out of your way to gain slow exp it's pretty dang hard not to if your actually fighting stuff. Even outside of powerleveling you can still get some extremely fast exp.

I'm far from a hardcore player, and again I solod my thaumaturg to 50 without even doing many leves. Took me about a week and a half playing a 1-2 hours a day.

Edit: Oh, jeesus, i'm BLIND, my bad. Let me re-edit everything

I call BS on that, and I fully disbelieve you. Yes, I do, absolutely. I've been doing that, i've DONE that. About as much playtime as you, look at my sig, look at my THM's level.
My experience calls you a liar.

For note, the previous post here, not relevant since you DID indeed give times, sorry if you saw it:

Italics mine.

Define to me, in REAL ACTUAL NUMBERS, what that means, please?
One's definition of how much daily (alright, perhaps weekly is better) playtime defines Hardcore can be pretty different. I want to ensure that your definition of 'easy' fits mine before I call you on your BS about levelling rapidly.

I mean, I almost quit the game in rage when I had to take my first class to 50 (it was lancer, before the major class reforms, I finished levelling it JUST in time for the class reform patch). It's been a gruelling experience to level my Archer or Thaumaturge, to the point that I'd rather pick up any of my many other games than do that. Take note those were majorly done on leves, which as you mentioned is possible.
My wild guess as to why i'm being so slow there is because, in comparison to people like you, I simply have a lot less weekly playtime, but you say you're not a 'hardcore' player, so now i'm confused.
