I think people who generally only play in optimal groups eventually think that it's impossible to do otherwise.

It's not an optimal group he's constructing, but I doubt it would render a 'tour of norrath' actually impossible.
You feel that a

Warrior
Monk
Bard
Druid
Wizard

could successfully kill monsters at any kind of acceptable pace, level 50+? Please think about this for a second. It is not happening. Especially to players new to Everquest, who are used to the modern gaming model of instant gratification?! They're already pushing their luck just getting to 50 with a fun and validating balanced group. Add completely interminable leveling and the certainty that you can't even progress beyond a certain point.

Man, if you aren't into tedious exp grinding you are playing the wrong game. And anyways, it's all relative, what you find unacceptable doesn't have any relation to how this group might feel about it.
I find slow rates acceptable. I find devastatingly, off-the-charts molassassine leveling to be boring. I'm guessing that people without any EQ experience will find it less palatable than myself.
