So, help me out here, because I'm seeing a lot of complaints about stuff on the forums that may be passing over my head as a newer/returning player. But is the complaint that the "fast" exp camps are usually full, and so players are having to resort to killing random/wandering mobs etc. and the exp from that is slower and so leveling is slower?
Because that was about half of my experience back in the day on the live game.

In my experience on leveling in green it's not as simple as the "fast" exp camps are full, they are typically completely locked down by groups and its just pure luck to be a relevant class/level to be invited to that group at whatever random time someone leaves, even at 4am server time. That's actually perfectly fine, everyone wants that's sexy group and great exp.
But then you got to a secondary, semi decent camp with decent exp and it's locked down by a solo, or duo that refuse to invite you because it's only a semi decent exp camp and they want to maximise exp gain. Again, sure kinda lame but it makes sense. Move on.
You go to a 3rd semi decent camp and get declined by the solo or duo there. You go to a 4th semi decent camp and meet the same resistance.
You've now been online for 2-4 hours accomplishing nothing but using EQ as a chatroom with guildies and friend in /tell trying to find a great or even decent exp spot and say fuck it. Imma go to where no one goes, afterall so many people screech like parrots on the forum about it being viable. You go there and mobs are roaming all over. Yellows whites and blues galore. Fuck yea! This is where I can play the game and enjoy it.
An excited hour later of constantly killing mobs you notice you only made half a yellow bubble because the exp is so god awful and you realize that's why the zone is empty to begin with.
Then at hour 5-6 of accomplishing pretty much nothing besides being better at dominating Mavis Beacon via chatrooming EQ you log off because you have work soon.
