Can anyone help a noob understand Chardok?

[weaseal]

I have a 57 wiz (my highest char anywhere), decided to try out Chardok because I heard it's a good place to try for 60. I ran in and felt a bit overwhelmed, people spamming macros (something about exp rotation?) and no responses to my "57 wiz lfg". Can anyone give me a quick rundown of how to Chardok?

Make sure you bought your Jyll's spells (AE).

Put your name on the DPS list.

Wait some amount of time (1 minute -> 8 hours) for a DPS spot to open in the XP group.

Cast your Jyll's AE spells when the mobs are stunned and DPS is called in.

If you have a ton of plat you can just buy an XP spot as a proxy. Something like ~3k a pull.

the truth can be harsh and disturbing

Basically the blue server XP rate is too slow for some people, who aren't immersed and couldn't care less about shortcuts.

Enter Chardok AOE... designed to help players pay money to get their characters to 60 or make money getting someone else there. It's also a great way to get flagged for handling RMT platinum.

People drawn to this are typically the same people who point at the red XP rate (faster) and say bad things about it...making them hypocrites. You're allowed double standards though if you don't pvp, I think they made a rule on blue about it.

Meh, on Live we used to AE disco in Seb all the time. Chardok is just the natural progression when 1) you know what you're doing and 2) your computer can handle 200 mobs. Doesn't effect my immersion, can't say the same about Red's bonus.. can't even properly gear/spell up.

Or perhaps, leveling one character to the high 50's/60's is enough"classic" experience for you because, now that you have kids and a family and a life, you can't really afford the (insert random absurd number) hours it takes to level to 60.

Not and still have a marriage anyway.

But you can afford to pay 2k (or whatever) per pull and somehow managed to grind out 100k for the privilege? Interesting. Some might ask how you managed to grind all that "now that you have kids and a family and a life".

Heiro cloak and a copy of Torpor? Judging from the number of different proxies we see in Chardok, it's not too far fetched.
