First of all you have to have a consistent group of about the same level as yourself, which means you already have a dependency. - what is if they are offline - What is if they come online while you are off line and now they are 3-4 lvls higher than you - etc.... I'm a casual gamer, or so I certainly think as I only play about 4 hours a day during the week and about 20 odd hours over the weekend. I grinded my way from lvl50 to 52, even using quests which were for the mobs I grinded I got an average XP/HR of about 25k on a purple and not a blue EXP bar. Then from 52 to 53 I tried grinding 5 hours streight with 3 other guys also lvl52. We grinded Estern PLaguelands lvl54-lvl56 undead. I ended up with about 35k XP/HR. Then I did it my way, I went to Felwood, winterspring at 54 and did all the quests in those areas. I'm lvl59 at an awesome rate of 75k XP/HR CONSISTENTLY since lvl54 80% to go to lvl55. I just took each quest, checked it online and using MobMap I planned my strategy on where to grind while doing which quest and which way to go to turn in quests , grind, get new quest, keep grinding, keep completing quest, etc... I soloed ALL OF IT from lvl54 to lvl59 at 75k XP/HR, with the only exception of Sabe Tooth Boss wh was Elite lvl60 and has a Lion friend same lvl haflway through the fight. Anyway those 5 lvls took we less than 12 hours playtime. so much for your statement on "grinders will always out-level the causal gamers." I'm still being asked by my guild if I powerleveld with someone and when I tell them that I simply use logic when choosing my quests and prepare as much as I can before I do a 2 hour session of grinding/questing they don't believe me. Blizzard changed the XP rewards from simply killing and raised the XP rewards from quests. “Casual gamers will never be strong grinders and grinders will always out-level the causal gamers”

I don’t agree here.

First of all you have to have a consistent group of about the same level as yourself, which means you already have a dependency.
- what is if they are offline
- What is if they come online while you are off line and now they are 3-4 lvls higher than you
- etc….

Someone seems to have forgotten that this is a game... not a part-time job. Still, your post is enlightening. Thanks. “If you have to spend 15 minutes telling a person your usual rules of how you hunt, then that’s 15 minutes you could have spent getting xp.”

As well as being time invested into getting started even earlier on your epic mounts, armors, and other quests. Some friends of mine set up a team like this for Dark Age of Camelot, as well as in WoW, essentially the set up is like this: 1 Healer, 1 Warrior (to hold aggro), 2 PBAoE casters (with a form of regen like warlocks) Warrior strip pulls a few mobs taunts well, while the warlocks go to town, the healer tosses the warlocks regen's, and the warrior goes off to pull again. Its highly effective and before you know it, you've reached 60 and now your ready to start on the fun endgame goodies!
