LEVELING guide: Get to 50 within a week guaranteed

Part 2 of above:

Why would developers put in this lame mechanic that allows you to mindlessly play whack-a-mole and zerg all day in PvE I don't know.

FATE exp should be nerfed. It is hands down the fastest form of exp available and by far the most mindless feeding frenzy in the history of MMORPGs. Prior games have had at least multi stages or weren't as much exp.

In the end:

FATEs = whack-a-mole EZ mode. Please nerf

Sidenote: Yes I like the game, but this is the one major aspect of the game that clearly needs to be adjusted. Graphics, story, and music are all great.

I leveled my toon in GW2 1-80 in less than a week, by joining a 100 man zerg in WvW every day. When I hit 80, I already have enough karma to buy 10 slots of exotic gear for my toon. So yeah, Fate is one of the fastest way to level your toon, but not the most mindless feeding frenzy in the history of MMORPGs.

Because its a very cheap and frightfully easy alternative to having to come up with some sort of creative answer to "What should people do when they've run out of the rather tiny number of quests we're launching with?"

There's your answer; do fates. Want to level an alt battle class? Fates. Did they miss a spot in the leveling path? They'll probably fix it later and add more quests, sure, but until then, fates.

None of your friends/guildmates on and you won't touch a dungeon with anybody you're not on voice chat with, but you hate crafting and gathering is the most singularly boring thing you've ever conceived of in the history of ever? Fates.

Its like, the bologna sandwich of game design. Come up with some 'dynamic content'. It'll solve all the woes! Its like...quests that magically regenerate, forever! YAAAAAAAY!

...Right? Everything's copacetic here right?

Of course it is. I'm SE and I only listen to the mahself.
