How fast is XP now?

Hi,
I have a question. How fast is gaining levels in Neverwinter these days? I played in beta and for a while afterwards. I absolutely loved the game environments, the lore, and most of the story telling. Foundry quests were great to play too. But summer was busy and I backed off gaming for a while.
Probably the one big thing that bothered me most about NW was the speed of leveling. It used to be so darn fast.
Is this still the case? Is Cryptic still serving heaping wagon loads of experience with every quest? I hope it's slowing down some and there is more content.
What's the word on XP gain these days, is it still a race to 60?
Cheers,
Neverwulf

    I think it is giving less now, but that could be in my imagination. I started a TR this weekend, and running the quest line now. When I got to the graveyard area, it gave me a “you are below the minimum level” warning, and the drops are for 3 or 4 levels above me.

    It is probably slightly faster than intended. If you don't equip xp enchants and don't do the five man zone cappers and skirmishes, you most of the time hit 60 just short of finishing the last zone. Which might mean if you do those things you could be starting the zone when you hit 60. I don't know, because I never did them.. the queues were too unreliable.
    All 5 of my characters hit level 60 about halfway through the Whispering Caverns zone. I have no complaints. But I truly would love XP rewards to become an 'item' that one can accept or decline. I think that would solve the whole question for most people.

    Having leveled 5 chars (not counting the 2 or 3 that I leveled near to top then deleted,) I don't want to drudge through the same content to get the new class up to speed when it is released. I have a slot saved for it.

    Imo, it is the same as it always was.. Recently leveled a gwf since it was the only toon I lack a 60 of. I skipped a zone because I was already too high for the quests. I always prefer to play the content a few levels ahead of me rather than the same or below me to help give some challenge. Sadly though, lack of content has left him sitting in neverdeath. I loathe that zone after running through it so many times. I can't level fast enough to bypass all of the zones/quests I have already done too many times. At least some other games give you different options for leveling/questing. NW needs at least 2 paths so it isn't soooo mind numbingly repetitious. Again though, he seemed to be advancing in lvl at the same rate as all of my other toons.
