Honestly, f*** the teens for most classes. Most of them are barely coming into their role or still missing key pieces of their class identity. Shamans, for example, don't get canni/regen till 24, and a pet till 34. Enchanters don't get Clarity till 29. Druids and Wizards don't get self-ports till 19/20. Rangers don't get SoW until 39, SK doesn't get Invis/FD until 30. Paladins don't get anything ever. Before a class' defining level, they are just simply less fun to play.
Yes, the first time you're playing EQ, there's an allure of earning every single blip of exp through blood, sweat, and tears, but after that there's no shame in trying to skip the more monotonous parts of the game and enjoy playing your class in its actual role.
