I agree, sitting in a zone killing the same mobs for hours is boring, and is an overrated feature of EQ and not necessary for it to feel like EQ.
Everyone with a reasonable amount of time should be able to get max level, 51-60 is so ridiculous people quit over it.
The exp grind is nostalgic, the actual game starts at max level, lets be honest. If you like the journey that much and it's too fast for you, make an alt, make a few. I would love to try out and mess with an enchanter considering I'm playing one on teams, but I can't even force myself to level, it's brutal.
I've said this a ton in the past, and it seems like an issue they won't budge on. They say "fine the trolls can have their way" and give us some micky mouse bonus that might only take u like 12 days played for 60 instead of 20. I don't know, PVP box should be about fun PVP, not blue shit - that's for the blue server.
I think it's a compromise though, they're trying to create at least a grouping scene that people can play with. It might make it OK to log on and find groups and might be a bit of fun, but who knows. Red99 you log on and get ready to solo, for snail speed exp, which really is a major issue.
