I don't really have anything new to offer but here's my thoughts:
@spyder73 your comment about pugs and reps is so true and it annoys me to no end. I hate to sound like a huge neckbeard but ffs if you only have 45 minutes to play on average then do NOT offer to tank / heal / pull / necessary group function in any group. Period. Because generally a group looking to form is Gunna be prodding people to come fill roles and once there's a tank / cleric / pulls / necessary group function , you are glue holding it together. I also hate when people are not considerate of the tempo of a camp, if that makes sense ? Like king , people camp it for days because you only kill a couple mobs every 30 minutes. So if you only have an hour to play and your monk / clr / sham then you're only going to screw your group over.
Kinda ranty and kinda neck beardy but just saying
@OP I agree with most of what everyone said. I'd strongly encourage you to do HS groups though but keep it small and simple. At 57-59 you have no business in a group of more than 3 or 4, xp is a rare commodity at those levels and a group of 6 will not increase your efficiency enough to compromise getting way less xp per kill. War clr ench/nec is a great trio that will have you speeding thru your xp bar. You want yourself (warrior) in group so you can get xp ( duh ), you want the cleric for best healing efficiency (charm pets and you will be taking HT's constantly and a torp shaman won't want to join this group unless he's your bff) and the ench / nec for mana efficiency and the dps of a charm pet (better than rogue dps without sucking xp up). Try to keep this group meeting on a regular basis and you'll be 60 in no time. This is the exact method I used on my warrior.
If the above group isn't happening then I would say stick it out in seb and maybe prod people for interest in Chardok but I wouldn't recommend doing KC anymore at all. You're almost guaranteed to have a full 6 person group and the xp will be stupid slow. At least when this group happens in seb the xp will be not quite as bad.
Pro tip ! If the entrance hall to seb is clear, take this golden opportunity to move to NG, you're in a MUCH better spot for rapping any group in seb at this spot. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE , check your surroundings for level 60 enchanters and shamans farming NG, if you find a unicorn like this you should inquire about joining the group while forfeiting gem drops. I rarely farm NG but when I do , I always offer lone lfg people to sit in group and afk even. You may be thinking "but forfeiting gems sucks!"
Well the catch here is
1. You're about to get afk / free xp.
2. If I'm doing 99 or 100% of the work, I'm not sharing the haul sorry not sorry.
And really .. the above strategy applies to many camps. If you can't find a group, then sitting in with a plat farming group and (obviously) passing on all loot / gems / glory, you can basically PL for free if you find some generous people. Just don't cause them to wipe and listen to their commands.
This is my 2 cents and my anecdotal suggestions
Thanks for reading , hope it helps
