XP rate is high

I noticed I was getting dungeon quests at the end of each zone. So I tried finishing the zones before doing the dungeons and I out ended up out leveling the dungeon! Twice.. Now my options are try and get 5 people to walk 10mins to the entrance to said dungeons which I'm not too sure is marked on the map. Or play the dungeons with an alt. Don't make my mistake folks. Don't put off queuing the dungeons.

    I agree on this. While I'm not max level yet... I do feel like it needs to scale better during play... Like there needs to be an increase to how much XP you gain per level or something... or a XP reduction across the board. I out leveled NeverDeath almost before I started the first quest in it.

    You need to play the game as you want. Is that good for you?
    I'm 38 on my cleric and have played every day since head-start, granted its only been for a few hours at a time.
    I never set myself up to aim at being 60 as soon as I possibly could be. I'm playing with the foundry I'm trying other classes out, I'm reading the story and the lore points. I'm playing the AH, I'm Enjoying myself.

    its mostly how you play. It is true you do overlevel zones. right now im level 57 doing level 54 quests. but that's also because I don't just do quests, but many other exp gaining content. I have played all day everyday since the 29th and im only 57. I didn't spend all that time questing no, but I have also done every quest in every zone up till rothe valley. some people like to rush, others like to take their time.

    I feel I have leveled pretty lazily. A bar from 59 and my played is about 33 hours. I spent a lot of time just doing nothing. As slow as I am moving... I still think it is too fast. I kind of liked the idea of having to use the foundry to cover gaps in questing but at the moment you can really skip it and even dungeons and keep up easily with the zones (or pass them).

    I don't think the problem is that exp-rate itself. That's fine (unless you do farm quests in froundry during exp event as well, then it shoots up a bit).
    The problem is that you can't queue for skirmishes and Dungeons when you outlevel them.
    Yeah I know, you can go to dungeon manually, but still it won't get you the quest for it completed (like Throne of Idris, for example), and it's a nuiseance going there manually and getting the party manually compared to the automatcher...

    I agree XP comes way to fast. I already noticed tha during one of the beta weekends when I had a chance to play.

    XP comes so fast that you easly out level content like group dungeons. And if you get the chance to do a dungeon and some nice item drop for they are useless two days later.

    It is absolutely pointless to get quality equipment at least as far as I can tell (level 26).

    XP should be slowed down.

    Throne of Idris specifically was resetting after I left the completed instance. I assumed this was a bug. As you suggesting I merely outleveled the quest while inside the dungeon and can never complete the quest?

    I agree you level up too fast,it is almost like the levels do not mean anything.Maybe it is to get players to make alt's and buy character slots?Why anyone needs to XP boost I have no idea,they must be real bad players.

    This game is way too easy in general. I am level 17 and haven't died once. Even in WoW, when it first launched, I died before level 20. I am not asking for Everquest level difficulty, but come on. How does one even die in this game? It seems impossible.

    A side effect of this fast leveling is that by comparison professions level slowly. Despite constantly crafting, I still cannot make items higher level than 8 levels below me, and the gap only widens each day.

    once you hit 40 it gets much harder. 50+, you need a plan or you will win against a 2-3 mobs with only a tiny bit of health.

    Yeah... My professions are way behind. I should be at rank 18 armor crafting. I'm at rank 8. But I imagine they want people to spend diamonds to speed level the profession. To keep the Zen market going. I think that this was done too an extreme though. I don't think I'll be making rank 20 gear till potentially weeks after I've gotten my character to 60.

    I think in WoW I could level a character and not die, excluding raids, instances and pvp. Granted I didn't play much after Cata came out... but point still stands.

    I've got mail smithing and leadership each up to 10. My only advice is to just pick something that gives a lot of xp for the smallest amount of resources and do that constantly and use the Gateway when not home... I have access to a computer at work so I just check it every so often and set up tasks as often as I can.
